Short Grapes Of Wrath Poems

Nebulous night dreams
Become modish grapes of wrath
Reap an austere wine...

I reread “Grapes of Wrath”

Today,

Then went to El Paso

And stared at the wall....

When one does good deeds,
And others disguise them as bad-
                    Comes the grapes of wrath....

The grapes of wrath 
Are on display
Please help us God
Is our faithful plea
Help us find justice
For those killed and injured
By the Terrorism disease.

The maiden aged that none can suit

The barren tree that bears no fruit

The ample hills that none can climb

A distant memory in time

The grapes of wrath that yields no wine

That rots and withers on the vine

Alas, in time will take its toll

A lost, corrupt, and vacant soul...

Listen to poem:

Grapes Of Wrath

I paged you in blue
but pegged you purple be true
energetic red bouncing
round as a warring
fire embolden in passion
a stable calm of magic.

grapes of  wrath means to me
wrath caused by drinking wine, too free 
wonder what wrath I was suppressing last night,
wrath of a hangover is now my plight,
please, don't shout my wrath is pain,
wishes I had suppressed the wrath of wine.
In future will just sing about wrath and dine.


the form is as follows
I used the word wrath in each line

chose title Grapes of Wrath.

This redneck creed 
runs through my blood.
We won’t back down 
come push nor shove.

This land is holy 
to me and mine.
We’ll destroy all grapes of wrath 
and every vine.

My brothers and sisters
it’s time to take a stand.
Let’s drain this swamp 
and take back our sacred land.

Let’s set the eagle free 
watch her soar and fly.
May our freedom bell ring
With every broken bone and black eye....

When it’s dark, and you’re cold. When the wind howls at the windows, and rain pounds on the roof. When you’ve got no electricity. When you’ve only a few pennies in your wallet, not enough fuel in the car, and it looks as though the blackout will go on for another day or two. Well, then is no time to be read’n a book called…
                   “The Grapes of Wrath”

forced from history
into uncertain future
courageous lament...

With deliberate conviction,
She blew head strong through convention.
Her heart gave way to moods stubborn,
Freeing her vengeance to govern.
She scratched, clawed, to feed her demand,
Now floating crumpled down to land.
Sin deep disease collapsed her stand.

Now why weepest thou, O my heavy crestfallen soul?
Visions of pure agony hast cast thou into a deep trance
For the synagogue of Satan sits in the valley of Eschol,
and Jesus Christ, the King of Zion, they do not romance
The doctrines of Baal they've greedily swallowed whole,
as songs of salvation aren't accompanied with a holy dance
The grapes of Eschol will turn into the grapes of wrath:
See the road to New Jerusalem revealed as a fiery path...

Listen to poem:

Trapped in the Grapes of Wrath
David J Walker

The earth tones owned
By the caleche road lined 

With drying careless weeds  
Leading to the highway 
and the unknown future written 
In the sky, I

No, we  
may escape the dying 
Farmhouse framed in a past
Not coming back 

	Father

As it shrinks further from you
Farther away from your point of view 

And your new family
Not trapped with the Joad’s 
In the Grapes of Wrath 

The caleche road was only 
A path...
