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

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

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!...

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...

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....

They want a pigeon for a dodo
its the best they can do  yet
gene editing rehearsed
a theoretical DNA sideshow
resurricate natures dearth

Whatever next

a ripple of chance
in an ever 
changing pulse

~tides shift~

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

Anti-abortionists never a dearth
Of carrying placards to harass;
As to the young child’s worth,
We must demonstrate in mass
Supporting life after the birth!

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

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...

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 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 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...

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...

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

inspired by Proverbs 30:7-9

on 
the palm 
turmoil fate 
of the next year
as like burning coal
no peace in working hand
backbone is suffering clasps
waiting for the new tragic time
sipping the slaver of dearth panic
