Short Appalled Poems

Soon after he died
on his gravestone they inscribed:
Born naked, ugly, bald,
died inconsolably appalled.

Half-awaken sun

Appalled was by the day's toil

Herculean task!

Her beauty wanes with elder moon’s timed curves, appalled

Empty is she,once adored like porcelain doll

The regional manager called 
Embarrassed and rightly appalled 
When we pick up drugs
They won't treat us like thugs
But give hugs so we don’t feel mauled

I’m appalled at Trumpty the Potus
His Dettol cure just doesn’t float us
Best to keep his gob shut
(Think his brain is kaput)
He’s trying to kill off ‘dem’ voters

Do you wear PJs to bed or nuttin' at all
Not to get personal, but the world would be enthralled
To know your attire
In case of a fire
Running naked through the streets, we'd all be appalled...

My late-night snack
  of peanuts and coffee
has got my family
  thinking I'm daffy

But if they weren't such late-risers
  they'd be appalled to see
me noshing red onions with mackerel
  in a wet towel ~ Call me Admiral...

I support you
Through the thick and thin of it all
I support you
When you're sick or when so blue
When money's tight and trouble falls
When I am totally appalled
I support you

Saw a sign in a fast food stall in our local mall
“Tables are for eating customers only” I was really appalled
Kinda barbaric I'd say
But tasty in a soufflé
Perhaps rephrasing would save one life however small...

earth turned bald.
skyscrapers loom bold.
waste hideously piled.
toxins profusely spilled.
nature cruelly defiled.
we stand greatly appalled!

With an arrow through my heart, you poisoned my soul
Toxic fumes ran ramped
Appalled at your conniving actions;
Body is numb, icicles for fingers
Crying inside 
My mind has become a ticking time bomb
The explosion is bound to be epic...

I've never been so appalled
By such a sudden shock!
When ev'ry plan is strictly stalled-
Like Luck lies in a Lock.
A powdered nose makes way for prose-
Try to relax; it's not that bad.
But it's not fair, and God, he knows-
Just think of all the Love you've had......

My hands are webbed- I can not grasp. 

All I can do is feel the clawing rasp. 

Of laughter in my veins. 

That causes rippling pains. 

I am appalled, I am taunted. 

By loving words that are haunted. 

I am sorry for my fear.

As I wait for sleep to take my last tear.

I write rhymes appalled to the mind, installed lines of suicide I feel inside. 
In decline & bias of love with arthritis, my blood confines a crisis in time.
Defy the light & dim the sunshine, imply I’m not right again but I’ll be fine.
Describe descending in strife, with vibes of Ending My Life....

A rage results:
the orange dolt’s
been at the tweets.

Or truths they’re called -
I am appalled;
please bring receipts.

Then Harris talks -
word salad pox
from pre-typed sheets.

Oh, RFK
You had the day,
why the retreats?

Though Sampson was known for his hair
Delilah quite fancied him bare
She thought he'd look cute
Not quite so hirsute
And shaved him where no one would dare

Alas, when Mother Nature called
The whole world seemed to be appalled
With no hair to hide
Sampson's bouncing pride
His battering ram was blackballed...

Appalled, dazed, secretive
we run to your hidden room
above the roses in the arbor.

Really a cheap motel, 
but I like to pretend.

Forbidden fuels passion, 
and hunger is satisfied.

Hold him to his actions,
let him know what he gave 
means permanence...

I demand he keeps the promise
of true love
or die....

Enthralled appalled eye-crawl;
I was in pieces broken and torn,
balls of sorted pieces scorn and worn;
 now gathered reshaped and formed,
 refreshed rebirth flying high whole I am I've risen,
From a caterpillar crawl to a butterfly flown;

Oh, I am so angered, outraged and appalled
I think that I’m going bald
My dad had great hair
So I never really cared
But, to the hair club for men I am called

From my butt, they could extract some hair
Because I think I have so much to spare
But I cannot tell
Do you think it would smell?
Oh well I think, I’ll just leave it there...

Befallen slave,
la ractera,
the child of night,
corrupt.

Upon whip's handle,
laceration,
feeds the shelves,
the cradle starved.

Cyphera encountus,
abacus is nay appalled
...with corpse's heart;
lest the starving wallet beat.

St. Valentine's anniversary
covertly taints it's favorite treat.

Like a butterfly pinned 
in a collage, fluttering.
Death makes a deal.

I was appalled
standing on the edge
watching the withering body.

The lake drowns me.
Seagulls were waiting
for a renaissance.

It is not even midsummer.
The planting of the kiss
remains incomplete.

No sex was involved
in baring midriff.
Moon ignites the legs.

You ask what's wrong, but I hear a twist. You grab my arm, and I cover my wrist. Your appalled by my behavior, I'm silent and dry. But honey what you can't see is that I'm dying inside. I sit alone in a hallow dark room, can't help my self but to think of you. When we come face to face, it all soon becomes clear. The Devil isn't in me. It's in you my dear....

tossing & turning its now time to stay awake
another sleepless night
had enough of this severe chronic back ache

In my morning pain I may have said some things
those horrible spoken words 
that a sleepless night brings

I wish I’d never said them,  I’m seriously appalled 
for those horrible spoken words
no matter how much regretted can never be recalled...

Whence doth this happiness come?
That it maketh the sky a'gay (become gay) thus
A pinch of frolic, a cloudlet of fun
A lump of joy, a droplet of freedom forth
It maketh appeal all rusted fort
And apotheosize appalled courts
Maketh frolic and hallowed their counts and countenance
A time that bringeth gay unto the sky 
And raineth and watereth deserts awhile...
