Premium Member downcast downtrodden down in the mouth house

downcast, downtrodden, down-in-the-mouth house
not perky enough for a raccoon or a mouse
was passed over quickly by Lee Ann’s spouse
Buying this monstrosity would make him a louse.

Just because others are down in the mouth Don't let it affect you, be a big strong mouse Lead by example Don't get trampled Show 'em how to grin and the fires to douse

Ill winds are blowing, things are turning south It's a sign of the new order, we're all down in the mouth But there's bright days ahead Not yet ready for a deathbed Next election, we'll surely be cleaning house

Premium Member Reassuring Hug

If you’re ever a bit down in the mouth, 
Or even feeling just a little bit blue,
 One thing you can rely on is, 
I’ll always be there for you.  

And if you feel in a bit of a hole, 
Even if it’s one which you have dug, 
You know you can rely on me to – 
Give you a reassuring hug …

Premium Member Tidings

positivity in voice,
mannerism, mollycoddling
may bring tidings
up from down-in-the-mouth
to a weak grin
     if that doesn’t work
perhaps, a little gin,
olive plops,
fizz fizz,
a little sun, a little breeze
wings flapping…
     just
omitting, oblivious,
staring straight ahead
     tethered
to fair-weathered feathers,
free-and-queasiness of tears

     Bare, bony fingers probe
       nature’s naked cupboard
 
     Nary a morsel seen
       nutrition confined to dreams 

     December winds howl o’er barren ground
        January storms muffle all sound

     February thaws gurgle whispers of hope
        Crushed by March, snowdrifts abound

     Bears in hibernation, birds down south
        We humans alone, down in the mouth …

     One glimpse of Robin redbreast
        ~ no longer depressed
