Gray days
Listless 
Depleted
Existence, oddly muted
Minutes drag on
Bears are smart to hibernate
Not much to chirp about

               each icy step is labored ...

Outside my window, hark! a tweet
   Alarm clock opens, a whirring twitter

These words' meanings, we depleted
   Their message, away we frittered

I could be sick.  I could be shy.
I could be outstanding. I could be high.
I could be low. I could be depleted.
One thing though, I am not defeated.

Premium Member Your Attitude and Mood

Depleted?
Defeated?
Tired?
Uninspired?
Change it up.
Do something new.
Be someone new.
Take risks.
Your attitude
And your mood
Are up to you.

Rasputin's New Robe

Rasputin had to order a new robe,
To increase his depleted wardrobe,
He thought pink would look nice
But he should've thought twice,
His followers left in a drove.

Window Sill

Damn the window sill
It's never needed
It's filled with arze
most times impeded

And rubbed for dust
in times gone fleeted
For lost time served
in sense depleted

Premium Member Lucky Victim

She was depleted, drained, exhausted
But determined to live no matter what
Three days later her killer led police to her body
Except she was merely paralyzed, still alive

Premium Member Overtime

On the schedule 
Very often unplanned;
Energy depleted but on demand;
Rarely appreciated 
Taking one for the team,
I don't even fit into;
Money is the goal? Ha!
Everyone. Anyone. But me

The Aftermath

Another needless squabble
Leaves him fatigued
Like faded fabric
With frayed fringes
Another dismal day
And he’s left disappointed 
Depleted and depressed
A discard
It’s damn dangerous

Used Up

Felt accused, so abused
Mistreated life, depleted
Violent line defined
Hystericaly speaking,
Can't start reliving
These observations eternal
Meaning the believing
Stops breathing heathen

 Reservoir of

Now depleted

Confidence Lacking

confidence lacking 
running low 
on empty 
internal engine 
controlling self-esteem
levels 
depleted motivation 
driving force 
give up on goals  
give in to self-doubt 
lowering the bar even 
lower than before

Deflated Raft 1 and 2

Deflated Raft 1 and 2 – Haiku

     Deflated Raft 1

air depleted, sigh
rubber flat, spinning chaos 
raft takes on water


     Deflated Raft 2

floats on cold water  
flat, under maelstroms great weight 
watch the raft turn, sink

Clearing the land of valuable minerals, metals to build weapons of war Blowing up millions in bombs, land, businesses and homes Earth depleted yields humans sick from lack of needed minerals What will be the end?

Wish

I wish
I knew
What you
Had needed
I gave 
It all
Till I
Was depleted
My kiss
Your lips
No more
I’ve conceded
It aches 
For you
My hearts
Blood red
My eyes
The tears
Like rain
Never ceded
The pain
For what
Love not
Ever completed.

Premium Member The Prodigal

reserves
       depleted
    entrenched
in
feebleness
    strengthless
      self-centred
ego
to
the fore
        the
        tempest
rages
all around
battered
drenched
bereft
      broken
       beaten-
sigh
  turn
      back...
the cry

Premium Member Freshly Fallen Flakes

Freshly fallen flakes coat the land and everything in sight. Suddenly, Nature seems so bland, when whitewashed white on white. Color change completed Autumn has retreated: its pallet: depleted. A clean canvas takes freshly fallen flakes.

Premium Member The Bird

Did not the Bird,
warn us, by his airs?
Fewer by day...more by
night – the owls survive
longer! Did not rodents
warn us?  Depleted by
owls, they both now suffer.
Better men open their eyes
to Light – for, even swooping
shadows, will not long survive
such night….

Fed Up With Trump

Fed Up With Trump

Up with Trump we are finally fed;
Up wide  creek is where it all led;
Brain depleted;
Have deleted;
Trump is nocturnal and wet in bed.

Can't imagine a chick in bed with
him and getting wet all over. Here
we have to go all over again.

Premium Member They All Want To Be My Friend

There are Debbie Dis-Gusted, Dis-Delights in this crazy world, so neatly.

And they all want to be my most utter best friend, and seek me so sweetly.

Which I now understand has depleted me absolutely and completely.

As walls I do not build; my emotions are always on Open-eatly.

Premium Member I Am a Woman Saver

I am a woman saver
I see them all depleted and torn
Smashed and squashed
Down in ditches

I try to pull them out
Not using church or books of man
I put my arms out but they do not leap into them
They think I am a killer, a maniac, someone else to hurt them

I never stop trying

Spirit

Kicking up pillows of dust
   in desert dry
      depleted of hope
In his magnificence
he prances
    stomping
        bucking
unrestrained
17 hands raw
    black as death
nostrils flaring
fire eyes raving
    muscles taut in
anticipation
of the continuous climb
