Declining decades fly, mocking the clocks, 
Days dare to drag! Pathetic  paradox!

If you are my one hope
I think I’d better smoke dope
So that I can cope
You’re a tight noose on a rope
On a steep declining slope...

As I walk the countryside seems grey,
The stars revolting in their arrogance,
And I cannot find hope or inspiration,
In even the tiniest flower,
Without a drop of mead....

Achieving, functioning, flourishing

Declining, lapsing, falling
Defeated, ruined

Trump Made A Model

Trump became a model for each role,
And out much of it he still does dole;
Big loser bred;
Down path led;
Popularity is declining in latest poll.

Santa Claus is depressed
Its declining standards you see
The naughty list is now so long
It needs storing electronically
Where as the good list has shrunk
And now fits on a sheet of A3...

Virginal composure sits judgment on life
Introspective awareness dispenses advice
Righteous and lawful, all wording concise
Grounded and centred declining all vice
Objective perspective but still very nice....

Some will say that dedication
    to an aging Declaration's
  a sure sign of a declining nation

  While others look and see
    a once-a-century opportunity
  
  Myself, all my surety's spent
    I look both ways ~ and pay the rent...

Human
              terrified, inconsequential

She tiptoes on the brink of lost love,
Her world declining open emotion
While an orchestra echoes her sorrow--
Alone,  the ballet dancer curls
Not a bright face appears-- just teardrops
As the crowd stands in pealed ovation.

Beautiful, elegant, floorless butterflies,
Utterly glorious through the naked eye,
Two tone shades of colour,
Too many good traits to offer,
Enormous pleasure to watch,
Rapidly declining in numbers I feel,
Flightless fancy,
Ladie's love to create,
Yards of butterfly creations....

Olive green bottle garden
once beautified her perfect patio.
Resplendent with venust foliage
and pretty alpine flowering cacti.
Sadly, with declining mobility
its owner no longer ventures outdoors.
Now grungy, its only visitors
are two defecating pigeons....

Thoughts.  they twist, turn, and travel,
in a passing pretentious place as one ponders
crying, climatic, charismatic, characteristics containing to you.
Delightedly  doubtful, declining due to direct disbelief 
So subtle these thoughts are saying surely yet slowly sleep. 
Sleep 
Just sleep...

Determination

Decided like the ant,
Don’t give up; move the plant,
Declining the word can’t.
Driving always forward,
Do acts to beat the ‘’nays.’’
Daring yourself onward,
Dream of successful days.

Nature's bounty begins to recede
Creature's pent-up store doth now bleed
Declining rays earth's growth cycles no longer doth feed
Changing temperatures will autumn winds breed
 
Earth's orbit now an elliptical curve
Time no more day's light will conserve
Flora's seed held close in reserve
Fallow ground now Nature's preserve...

punctured peace puking
afflicted passion pulsing
lousy lust lurching
dainty draws drooling
dark desires dangling
fetish fate fostering

lanky life lusting
sundry saps starving
hoisted hacks hunting

some choose wives
some, salient strife;
twain tamed ties

grotesque ghost gadding
when d.t.s' declining.
