She went to a coffee shop
She saw the villain
In act of killin'
Scrumming in the room nonstop

Bright rays of hope liberate
The dismal boulders

Ocean of candescence 
Above me laying idle
To hope on this dismal day-
For these constraints to absolve

Anxious of what’ll transpire next.

wilted willow weeps…

A fill up with gas can cause pain
And cramps up our style as we strain
For cures less dismal
Like Pepto Bismol
Or a car with EV drive train

From Robert Frost

The way a Crow shook down on me
     The dust of Snow from a Hemlock tree
     Has saved some part of a dismal Mood
     That I had on another day.

Piteous As Piety

Conception of a bloodstained cross
Can be perceived a threshold loss,
As piteous as piety
When rage of age destroys its gloss
And ends a dismal dynasty.

A Dismal Diagnosis

Irrational views of all virulent kinds
Are among the slow-witted expected,
But often they mark more intelligent minds,
Making these the more gravely infected.

Veiled Silence

Mourning her lover
She wore the black widows weeds
Yet remembered when,
Life was a dismal affair.
Used and bruised like a crushed leaf.

Dream Poem 2

I stand alone
in the barren wastleland of my mind.
Colors twitch and flicker across a pale sky,
the only light in this dismal world.
And I cry for all that is lost.

Wedge of Hope

Yet whilst ajar, my hopes are wafer thin,

as door is slight, then wide awake am I

constraint of dismal days without reply

hopeful that if somehow, light shines in.
Form:

Unsmart Metre

I’ll apologise here at the start
For this verse won’t appeal to your heart.
So banal, it’s a shame
But I’ll shoulder the blame
’Cos it's not rude, nor funny, nor smart!

Premium Member Doom's Date - Mar 5

Doomsday’s dismal dawn, in the deep distance, 
Is our dusk, the diadem of decadence;
Daunting and depthless, a dark and doleful dirge 
Deems this dungeon of demons due for death

She

In
the 
now so 
gloomily 
lit corner of
the room, she sits, hair wild and free,
emerge from your dismal shell and join the human race.

Thank you, again, J, for your input.

Hope Sunset To Sunrise

Day passes waiting
And when silence seem to be lone company
Sunsets in hope 

Beacon of hope
When the nigh falls in the shadows of dismal
Sunrise of hope

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

I know a woman in Birmingham Her marriage is a pitiful sham, She plays around She tries new ground, And gives it up, not giving a damn.

Portent

This morning dawned
With drab, dismal dread
Portending debouchment
Of unearthly evil:

Yes, fear haunts the air,
So heed me—doom nears!
Oh, witchcraft and spirits
Shall sully our night.
