Short Ignominious Poems

Can you be happy and sad
    simultaneously
  Many say you can today
    contemporaneously

  I say, on your wedding day
    attend the funeral of a friend
  That'll surely put your happiness
    to an ignominious end...

Smok’n hot in his black suit,

a cool dude - he’s not.

Sickle swings shattering glass -

silencing bitter sand.

Your ignominious ghost

broods your grim image,

under the reaper’s hood.

     Words are phantom neckties
        in and out of style they go

     From parsimony to paisley
        ignominious to indigo

     From wide to narrow
        sissified to antihero  

     Here today, gone tomorrow
        their return, beg or borrow

I
He set His face toward Zion
He Who was at creation
Elohim planned for salvation
Knowing Adam's race, flesh temptation

II 
Jesus, Yeshua, tempted in all things
Obedient even to a death ignominious
On shameful cross: from "Rabbi" to nothing
We gained what Adam lost, Christ victorious...

Benito Mussolini was known to folks in Italo as Il Duce.

   But they became disenchanted and hanged him with a noosey!

He was strung upside down with Clara Petacci his moll!

   'Twas an ignominious finale for his closing curtain call!

Total Surrender
By: Tom Wright
3/10/98

An ignominious life I had lived,
my surrender absolute.
I now find no place for cessation,
for Satan is so astute.

A captious person I will not be,
My antipathy toward sin will grow.
Take not umbrage at me, oh Lord,
for what's in my heart you know.

On her death bed,

Fatally wounded mother nature, bleeds profusely 

While 

Ignominious Man 

Drives further his dagger of ignorance into the heart of life

Thus

Unwittingly committing at once the most heinous crimes 

Of 

Matricide and suicide 

Under 

The vigilant eyes of a wrathful God!

Hippy hyena hid hipster hippo’s hysteria.
Ignominious iguana ignored Iceland’s icky industries.
Jovial jelly jars joyfully jumped jubilantly into June.
Kind kangaroos killed Kansas’s killjoy kindnesses.
Loving lithe llamas languished, lacking lonely leaders.
Marvelous magnificent magicians masqueraded as maestros.
Needless nutcrackers helped hippy hyenas hide hippos’ hysteria....

Listen to poem:

The wolves awake; beware the great deception.
The vampires' conjugate conception.
Witches gather with their brew,
Tyrants in their coup.
Surrender-
Due!
Pretender…
Cunning treasons thru,
Edict illusions will spew.
Ignominious of inception,
The wolves awake; beware the great deception.

Einstein’s brain was more complicated than any Swiss army knife.
A pathologist took it from his cranium creating its’ ignominious afterlife.
He confined it in a formalin filled Tupperware tub that stunk
then tooled around America with it in his Buick Skylark trunk.


True story; check out the synopsis of the book (I’ve read it) called “Driving Mr. Albert” by Michael Paterniti on Amazon.com....

I Fret the Holiday Season

I invited it in:
insipid, insidious 
holiday hoopla;
and now rue 
my indolent heart
As time escapes
I inveigh aloud 
a tirade of syllables 
that berate my 
immutable, 
irascible self

I pine for insouciance,
iniquitously doled 
to some
not to others,
and wear the  ignominious 
crown, self-bestowed 
upon my head:
“Intransigent Queen.” 

I’ve only myself to blame....

We are the Ignudi
unclothed, ebullient and energetic, 
we lean and lunge, twist and turn
impervious to the imposition of ignominious imposters,
we are an expression of immortal youth
the athletes and auditors of God's court
unbound by banality or bashfulness
we listen and leer at those who stare
looking for secrets in this sacred ceiling,
in our faces you'll see the feelings
of primal awareness unadulterated by apprehension...

in my world
i have 
a key

to unlock the depths
of which i may not
yet be accustomed
to unlock the sorrow
of which i may not wish
to renounce

will they ask me to
gather all 
their bloody remorse
and ignominious alibis 
so that i may 
or may not
replace this
space
with something more
righteous and stable

or will i just
leave it there
to desperately 
ask them
rhetorical questions 
and wait for 
blatant and heartfelt 
honesty...

Just recycled laptop number four.
They lived three years each – no less, no more.
Tossing the poor things into a bin
Feels like committing the gravest sin.

Seems like dumping your best-ever friend,
With whom a million hours you did spend,
And about a trillion words did send.
Now it meets ignominious end.

But what in Heaven is one to do:
Bury it with toy it liked to chew?
Now I've another, shiny and new.
Never mind; we get recycled too....

Preposterous hippopotamus laughs at scandalous rhinoceros. 
Precipitous, calamitous cumulus leaks rain on head.
Furious, igneous volcanoes spurt copious lava, aqueous and amphibious into sea. 
But despite the acrimonious albuminous setting,
anxious, ignominious and siliceous bed fellows, make amorous love anyway
wearing polymorphous, ponderous and porous pajamas in bed,
and enjoy anomalous couscous made by anonymous, ambidextrous, audacious, cantankerous cook....
