Short Depleted Poems

Lonely bridge shaking
Depleted stream lightly veined
We open our ears...

Beneath the surface,
It sits not yet depleted,
We fetch but still lack....

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

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....

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 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....

ebony edges
day depleted of color...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Bright flame to
	Fading ember
 Reservoir of
	Creative joy
Now depleted
	Brings the
Dim
	Dismaying 
Emptiness of
	Effete creativity
Disheartens
	Disenchants
The migrant
Soul of Striving
Artistry...

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 – 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...

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....

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...

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.

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....

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...

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
...... back...

I’m stuck in the present
And stuck in the past.
I’m all out of room
From the stuff I’ve amassed.

The future may beckon
But I can’t respond
Because I’m so stuck
I can’t see the beyond.

Where once I possessed
Much more moxie and pluck,
Today I’m depleted
And hopelessly stuck....
