Premium Member Free Throw Tanaga

What works do shaken bones cast?
You smile with eyes downcast;
Does magic move fast or slow?
It tends to dance in free throw.

God’s wisdom ablaze 
shining amidst the darkness
of sin and meanness
alleviate and gives comfort
to the lonesome and downcast

Looking Within

I always turn to every
Energy of inspiration  
When I am downcast 
Or in need 
Of invigoration fast
Classy and sapient answers 
Crowd my brain

Rainy Monday Morn

i hear the pulse
this somber day
beat across the sky
its downcast eyes
dropping tears
against my weary soul
within its lies
a sunrise
unseen
through sullen eyes

Premium Member Fickle Finger

I conclude I was conceived hard-and-fast, 
Misfortunes rain on my parade, downcast - 
Bad Luck to date 
Fickles my Fate, 
I now bet on Hope, that they say, dies last!

Rain

An Outburst From 
A downcast heaven, 
I grew sullen 
And many more
Cursed the gloom; 

But they race
To hit the ground, 
Put the thirst to drown, 
And the Flowers
To bloom

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.

Sometimes in your life
You might be sad,
lonely, rejected or
downcast oh friend
Do be calm

Premium Member In His Flowing Robes

Preaching repentance in his flowing robes
    Abstinence from that which stains the soul

  The ascetic slumped forward, face downcast
    Neglecting his body, he'd breathed his last

Premium Member A Lonesome Young Mutt

A lonesome young mutt in Kalamazoo
Was so downcast he kept out of view
Just a schnauzer pug-mix
Shunned by smug pure-bred chicks
He’s found true love with his dear cockapoo

Premium Member Be-Bop and Blue Skies

A smile's a transformer
  It changes your day
To be-bop and blue skies
  from downcast and gray

So turn off the gloom
  and switch on a grin
A good mood's contagious
  ~ Laughter its twin

Premium Member Profile In Prejudice

Mrs. Elinor Roosevelt championed society's outcasts
Asians, widows, orphans, blacks -- all those downcast
   Yet as six million perished in World War Two
   She refused to speak up for a single Jew

Old and Cold

I lean beside a furrowed willow tree,
with threadbare limbs downcast
as I recall a meadow of youth's game--
now my belly, bones are empty, 
falling weary from old age and distant
cold orange pulsating  starlight.

Darkness2

darkness reigns beyond the pale, the downcast experience it and fail, to see a new horizon, when anger burns the ones we meet, see darkly, hatred indescreet, keeps sanity from rising? thanks Russell....Don Johnson

Premium Member Shady Daybreak Notions

Velvet murmur hue
intuits bright peep day clue
yet dark sky sports smirk!!

Sly sombre omen,
magpie in  mute  throat a ruse,
connivance in jest!!

Rain coat, brolly, cap,
light shower from downcast vault,
or oddball dry spell!!

Premium Member Cannot Uplift Mrs Negativity

I am downhearted, discouraged, dejected, downcast.
Ms. Positive said “You need to look up, for positives and fast.”
I am disheartened, dismayed, down in the dumps she replied.
Determined to be miserable, hopeless, sad, an expert who cried.

Young Hearts

The sorrows of a soldier’s world
Can be seen in his downcast eyes
The tears that streak his cheeks
Are unable to tell us why
Pain comes from many sources
Weakening a battered soul
Overwhelming visions of darkness
Turn a young heart to old

Premium Member Forgotten People

Forgotten people
unnoticed daily
with downcast faces
that no one sees anyway

Invisible people
scurry to their houses
unseen by many
unseen by all actually

Cellophane people
hiding their hearts
so no one else hurts them
we see them not

In Front Of The Class

In front of the class
she obediently stands
her fingers locked in cradled hands
with downcast eyes and trembling lip
she leaks a tear that sears her soul
then meekly voiced 
and barley heard 
she mumbles what she thinks the teacher wants.

Freedom Flight

Let not your heart be downcast,
Breathe not a hopeless sigh.
Lift up your eyes and see the light 
Arising in the sky.
                                  
God's heaven now is richer,
An angel chorus sings.
The joyful spirit now is free,
The eagle won its wings.

Withdrawal

Wide awake in bed
Feeling so afraid
For I'm at the brink
Of getting another drink

Drowning in the deep
Oh, I cannot sleep
For I'm at the brink
Of getting another drink

Depressed and downcast
How long would this last?
For I'm at the brink
Of getting another drink

Premium Member Terrible Teens

Crochety,crusty and cross,
ever at a loss;
testy,touchy and huffy,
full of fickle fears,
impulsive teenage years.

Sulky,sullen then glad
faddish,fretful or sad;
tense,dejected and downcast,
each day changing fast.

Like a chameleon cast
by teens that,oh so slowly pass.
