Staccato Roots

Surly songs 
Played by hungry men
Plucking staccato roots
Spotted chords of dried dearth
Cleansed in strummed pots of boiling verse

Tyrant Monarch

they’re we 
              dearth can't touch them
                                              they’re in transmutation!

The Tricky Fate

Everyone has a whole book - 
Many with papers,
Some with barely the hook...
The one with bounty
Does not know how to cook
The one in dearth
Fills in every nook!

Plumbing

Excellence in plumbing leaves me numb
Mastery in apprenticeship of thumbs
A Dearth of splash guards
Replaced with glass shards
Invites me to leave instead of come

Premium Member A Dearth of Poetry

    Lately, it seems to be
      there’s a dearth of poetry
    on the site... else it's me

Premium Member Winter Solstice

Listen to poem:
as days fade to night
the season blights to winter
dearth of light brings haggard chills

landscape bedraggled
shriveled to black then bleached white
cries ice tears then hibernates

With the glut of sounds fixed within the book of expressions
I cause the dearth in mine carve ‘pon slip for the eager to ponder
A poet compelled yet tactful with scribe as a view thru scrim

Premium Member Endangered Species

An evil kangaroo poacher from Perth
Rousted rare 'roos for all they were worth.
But, one day as he wrangled,
In his noose he got tangled,
Now of kangaroo poachers from Perth there's a dearth.

In Our Wasps' Eyes

In luring us, alone
Through each bright tone
Do hang them, if by looks, of
More dazzling worth

For apricot, calcite.
Grape, rubellite.
Our wasps' gorging perspective!
No mouth-eyed dearth!

Dodo Chair

They want a pigeon for a dodo
its the best they can do  yet
gene editing rehearsed
a theoretical DNA sideshow
resurricate natures dearth
undo extinction
Whatever next
Genghis Khan's offspring

Closeness

Closeness a ripple of chance in an ever changing pulse ~tides shift~ seasons shed her shape warm caresses disperse poetic forbearance rests outside the dearth

Oasis - 4th Place

Oasis, quench my dearth 
On your lap, here I plead 
Over the skin of earth 
Only your hand's my lead 
Our hearts were meant to be 
Or, my soul can't be free 
Of all friends, you're my tea 

4th place

Agur's Prayer

a rondelet

Most Holy One,
from those who lie grant me relief.
Most Holy One,
give me not all I ask, nor none.
In wealth, might I renounce You, Chief?
In dearth, might I become a thief?
Most Holy One.

Schismogenesis

Cultures dissected …
structured refusal
Cloistered eruptions
dearth to accept 
   
Rising triumphant
 they steal from each other
 Defining their existence
—by what they reject

Poverty

Poverty
Is a necessity
So that the wealthy
Can feel comfortable
In how fortunate they are 
To understand unconditional wealth
There has to be a comparison
A bridge to connect the two
Abundance and dearth
Much and none

Dearth of Rhyme

The hour is late
I long to write
Thoughts are few
A long empty night

Over taxed mind
A writer's wage
My head is empty
On a yearning page

Perhaps, tomorrow
Gone, dearth of rhyme
As bard within
Urges spirits climb

Your Dearth

Your dearth made my eyes moisturize
Shroud me if you have no time to meet
My pulse has stopped by last evening
My body also will be cold soon
As the time doesn't remain same
Lets separate our ways
As we both needs it same

Nature

nature has its place of  worth,
human must endure no dearth,
for we are natures child,
predator oft reviled,
though bloodlust be reversed,
not far away the distant wild,
remains immersed...

Spindle Wood

If only Autumn 
could relent its teeth
like a furnace burning bright
it celebrates the dearth
of confidence
like friends lost at sea
It claims lost souls
spindle wood
you've pawned our tomorrows
and adjourned our yesterdays
