Short Lamented Poems

When her gastrointestinal tract 
went gurglly and angrily talked back;   
lamented my Maria, 
"This damn diarrhea 
with me flat on my back so lacks tact."...

Lily pads lollygagged in lovely repose
I wish I had their water lamented a rose
But then you would drowned answered lily from her cot.
I had not thought of that, she said, rethinking her thought....

I have a frisky frog on my back the flamingo whined.
He jumped on last night when I went out to dine.
I wish I had one lamented Old Maid Clementine.
She had been a floozy in her day, and she knew how to grind....

Haiku 
Notes of music
Fell into the ocean 
Undulating 


Haiku 
Rain upon the sea
Softly lamented the loss
The conductor died. 


Haiku 
After great sorrow 
Gigantic waves crash the shore
Disharmony...

Callie Croakers was always a frogmaid, never a bride.
Her disappointment she very often would try to hide.
You have more dresses than anyone know I said.
But she lamented, none are my favorite color, which is red....

Easily measured
  not clearly defined

Often lamented
  more often unkind

Its loss we all mourn
  searching heaven to find

The time to become
  —a new past to rewind

Have Lamented

Many times have lamented
If she would have consented
Love of mine was only one
Together have had much fun
I would not become demented.

bluish seagulls encroach
the greenish out fields of
torture bestowing the lamented
souls pickled thoughts
bizarre regiments of
curious wants bombarding
the elements of vernacular needs
i shed tears of blood
on your decorated tomb...

overthink; distinct direction
(misguide) time given
infection, inflamed &
mutant. why have
contempt for this
hummingbird heart,
lamented prior to
start? melt the
outside, the inside 
oozes out through
blankets of bruises,
looses mass; relax....

Wildflower in bloom.

Mercurial swoon.

Under mid summer's moon.

Lunar contrast.

On earth toned skin.

Painted us azure.

As souls stirred within.

We owned it.

If only for that moment.

Lamented in time.

As life follows no design....

neglected
        once lamented
now graffiti
          scrawled:
faded respectability
of
   yesteryear and
outdated
            taste:
now.  
     litter-strewn,
dusty
        cold & musty
sepia like
in the late
       Autumn

Shouting your name does the trick
Echoing when the heart is empty
I lamented all the signs
Really ruining my fate.

Dropped repugnantly colonial
It spreads and hates changes.

Some remnants of nobility
Sort of pinnacle
All corrupted spelling in my prayer
Alhamdulillah....

As early frost kissed window glass

And autumn shed her scant remains,

Her glory done, her time now past

Bare trees lined the country lanes,

The woods were quiet, nothing stirred

Filled it seemed with expectation,

The shrill echo of a bird
       
Lamented autumn's resignation....

Swift as air, the jet took me back.....
to my roots.
The pre-Thanksgiving fares to Philly sucked me in,
like mom's Hoover vacuum.
And Lady Luck, her diamonds catching the rays of a thousand moonlit nights, 
held my hand,
when I stayed with an old childhood friend.
Together we walked the fields near the murky river,
and lamented what never became....

Fiery Fireworks

      Fiery fireworks
      started on your betrayal.
      Heart and mind got burnt.

       Got devastated.
       Passion cried, love lamented
       Desire drowned, shattered.

     Strong silent soul watched.
     Fireworks got extinguished.
     Time was best healer.

I couldn't look back,
the sound still haunts me
and the shadows cast across the street
against the trees
made by the devil's light.

I couldn't look back,
the heat still scorched me
and bright sad faces
lamented the scene
made by the devil's light.

I couldn't look back;
sadness surrounded me,
the devil burned me
as I ran from my pain
and forgot to take my heart....

The helium balloons adhere,
Now partially deflated,
To the ceiling, rating not a glance,
Though they had been awaited.

Of course, there was excitement 
When at first they were presented.
Their absence surely would have been
Acknowledged and lamented.

But two weeks later, they are stuck,
Now finished with fulfilling
Their purpose, so they cling to life,
Their insides slowly spilling....

They DETAIN me but I won't COMPLAIN 
Time MOVES slow  lamented BLUES
Don't CRY for me as I fashioned a SIGH
To FREE my soul to God as he comforts ME
So DEEP are my feelings for those who WEEP
The DEATH of those who breathed their final BREATH
I KNOW my place in life and time will SHOW
To RENDER my service to Him and then SURRENDER

Gallivanting about with doubt
You could fly to natural high
Hades called, saw you fall, like
Bottomless bucket unfulfilled.

Life became blue/black strife
Stripped your will to climb
From valley to hill, until
Your empty soul lamented thirst.

Such fog like state of zero visibility
You heard of fountain of faith, and
Felt grace ushering you forth, one
Snowy evening of warmth you knew.

Somewhere in the darkness I fear
something not quite natural draws near
is it an untimely death
stealing away my last breath
or is it something that's already here

No one can tell me what it is and why
I fear it when I know everyone will someday die
only I still shudder at the very thought
that I will end in pain although I had fought
and down I lay in dirt and moss, going out in lamented sigh...

That’s the best spa of all the sparrow said.
She hopped right in, with her cousin Fred.
Fred hopped back out, It’s too hot! He lamented.
She loved a margarita bath, she felt fermented.

The mud facial on her face soon slid down.
It rolled into the bubbles, which now turned brown.
My drink! Yelled the lady of the house, she was not happy.
“No big deal!” tweeted out my sparrow friend, we called her Sappy....

Angels and guides tried their best to console Icarus
Why did I not listen to my father? He lamented.
Determined to hang onto his sorrow and sadness
It is time to stop belittling yourself, his head angel said.
One mistake; this is how we learn; no big deal.
But why do I have to learn the hard way with broken bones?
And broken back and broken neck, his negative side added.
His positive side threw up her hands....
