Short Glumly Poems

Idle gnomes
glumly guard gravestones
ungrateful Immortal sleeps...

Listen to poem:

Woebegone woe beset, be gone
A Wobbegong dumbed down in dumps
Forlorn in doldrums deep and glum
For the taste of glum is dour and sour 
Mirthless and mournful, cheerless and doleful
Apparel crestfallen, disheveled, long-face, appalled
Butt out, begone, woebegone Wobbegong, long in tooth
Trim your beard, its shaggy and scummy, and glumly 
See more sea, and be seen in scene on screen....

the sap on the trees
the wind blowing pleasingly
a stroll I will take

with my umbrella and cane.

rain oh rain will show
dawn is to enjoy.
gloomy not, away I go
pouring cats and dogs.
glumly aurora
dulcetly I sing “Rain Dogs.”

no, no, no -- not him -- my old roommate approaching
  inviting me to join him on his 'Jog with Nature' kick
    what could I do... I fell glumly in line......

What I told Bill
My voice unchanging and shrill

And the ones on fire, grills
The left spaces for man to fill…
And it should be mainly about his will
But not less intensely his zeal

The same I had disclosed to Jill
But it didn’t him at all thrill:
On some angered bottle spending a dollar bill
And glumly ascending a closely bill
From his valley-sited vacant mill
Always life depicting as The Still....
