bitter truth restores
the doubtful mind

lingering before fireplace
craving buttered popcorn

bitterly

Seeds complained bitterly;
“We were resting in bags,
happy and safe we were!
Why take us away by force
to be buried in wet soil?”...

To go out today would be a farce
Bitterly cold and sunshine sparse
I wanted to play
But there was no way
I would certainly land on my arse

Oh for the assistance of machinery
As my wife and I suffer so bitterly
From wet soapy hands
That slip on plates and pans
Which occasionally crack most disagreeably...

Tails of pony, this strawberry-freckled Freda.
Strong-armed tomboy happily playing baseball.
Bathing beauty, Saturday night, when scrubbed clean.
   Bitterly pitched out.

Babble on, Babylon!— The bell is bellowing 
Its booming bane! Bastards and baseborn bumblers 
Beware, and beg bitterly for better 
Birth above! O’ you bashful, bawdry bunch!...

who howls
in the midnight hour
in these heights
of a moon so bright

who else but the wolf
bitterly longing for his mate

Roses are black.

Violets are dead.

Love is bitterly sweet.

Like a shot to the head.

They say love will kill you.

It will be the slowest form of suicide you've ever met....

A bitterly cold day entered.
Front gathered hard -- imagine jagged knives.
Looks more northerly, opined pundits,
Quite raw -- snow tires useful.
Very wondrous; xerophytes yearning zocalo....

Cry not bitterly for
bygone longing years.
Nigh as thoughts may be,
try to wipe away tears.

Shy away from asking
why, if an honest
reply will make you
cry without rest.

the news breaks
the world breaks down
the sky screams savagely
the war dogs maul mercilessly
the raging rubble bounces bitterly 
the apocalyptic horses gallop giddily
the rotten roof caves in catastrophically...

Yesteryear mixed dulcet days with bitterly sour moments.
Zesty and tart as lemons, but tempered with honeyed memories.
This year, I will only journey through sweet orange orchards.

In
July
Its Winter.
Bitterly cold
Here In Australia,
Snow does not fall at all.
Sydney is very windy.
Howling wind makes horrid weather.
Nice to stay cozy and warm at home.
Snuggle under a blanket together....

Positive poles keep me grounded
even when all efforts get spurned.
Love intrudes with hope unfounded
while hatred proves bitterly earned.

Our coupling tethered in the lash
scorches my core with friction rash....

smooth lies spread so thickly 
with the flat dullness of a butter knife 
the pain inflicted by their sharpness
enough to surgically remove your heart
droplets of your essence left to bitterly lace your morning coffee...

The rose I asked:

"Why a tender flower like you is armed with so many thorns?"

"Because there are as many unfeeling foes lurking around"

It bitterly replied!

I never thought I'd weep so bitterly,
Perhaps,
I perceived I was stronger,
A lion,
But my heart was in pain,
Torn into pieces and weary,
My eyes were ever teary,
It was just me...
And my broken heart to keep me company....

choking the room bitterly
an embarrassment
carefully tromping through it
side-stepping junk gingerly

My pack rack eye-tis
surrounds me untidily
disturbing eyesore
jumping over largest pile
not inviting company...

The tears I cried
Locked up inside
When she died 
Nowhere to go.

The love I felt
Made my heart melt
Was bitterly dealt
A crushing blow.

These silent tears
Span days and years
Of inner fears
Yet nobody know.

Poetry provides portrayals of people,
as a privileged peek of a portraits premier.
Either words of wisdom written with wonder
will welcome the withered and worn,
or blossom the buds of a beautiful being
and bless breath to the bitterly born....
