Pennyroyal Poems | Examples


Premium MemberSentimentality

Oh the humanity 
the humanity 

Oh spare me the grief 
thy fake tears 
woe is me, mentality 
syrupy behaviour 
Munchausen propensity 
it sticks between my teeth 

Oh spare me the pathos
ham acting baloney
Phoney and pathetic 
pennyroyal tea fatigue 
Histrionic vagaries
self righteous piety

Oh spare me the maudlin 
attention seeking thievery 
Drowning in poignancy 
sentimental molasses 
Throw yourself to the floor 
overdosing in twee

Oh spare me forever 
stomach churning violins
emotional instability 
Wallowing in saccharine
exaggerated sob stories
But most of all 
the absence of apology

Premium MemberPennyroyal Festoon

pennyroyal festoon in full bloom —
her English garden plush.

he’s dying to imbibe.
she foresees a crime.

mint feint
tea taint

“sip up darl’n
have a cup
or two”

his purple lips,
pursed,
ready for the kill.

she smiles and winks
as he lies still.

Premium MemberUnsung Lullaby

Today, the suction method is used         
A  method some consider crude
 Or even cruel, but it is excused
 Because  nothing is taboo

The practice goes back to ancient times
Where some cultures considered it a crime
Pennyroyal, soapwort, and sage
Were often used to disengage
And to bring to an abrupt end
That which cannot fend

Precious lives ending too soon
Before they can be sung a lullaby
Violently expelled from the womb
Before they can even cry

Chaos Heart

Unrelenting 
Unrepenting
Disingenuous incensing
Broken promise
Faulty premise
Drunk with grandiose suggesting

All chaotic 
Schizophrenic
Catatonic
Photogenic
Served with Pennyroyal tea
Pinched with acid hydrochloric

I'm the grain of salt that's taken
as my core is always shaken
I refuse to see I'm free
when my gifts return forsaken

Amongst the Shadows

There amongst the shadows,
a masterful elucidation
of melancholic glee.

While the winds of change
take hold of thee, for
the splendor and eyes
of every many.

For the gentle whore
whose troubles woe,
perchance a cup
of pennyroyal tea.

For upon the throne
of harlotry, a gentle 
courtship, spoken
cordially a many
young man. . . "of
thee, plenty. . . ."
