a spring break-up
the ice laments its lover
…thunder on the pond

nights gone by and still,
Luna laments her lost love...
tearful ocean born
**Written for Raul's Reflections contest :)
Stewed regret begets
laments like mythical ents
puts legs on old scars
that haunt and herd the present
tense with stench of past reborn
A victim of the Holocaust
Laments so many lives were lost
Their Christian friends
Can't make amends
Although they all have double-crossed
Laments surrounded
Disfigurated faces
Suffering dolor
Purging for their heinous sins
In the eternal red flame

one small stone
laments it place on top
a crooked tower
built on sand
cannot abide a rising tide
slow creeping near

Thank you God
For this glimmering snow
Please God
Don't keep me slow
Increase my strength
Remove my laments
Undo my pain
Make me Young
Again!
I want her to do it my way! my cousin laments.
I stare at Lulu and burst out laughing.
You don’t remember being eighteen? I ask.
She is silent, remembering.
Finally someone who loves my poetic sentiments.
Finally found someone who sees me as special without laments.
Finally looking forward to how our times will be spent.
The Triple Cross
On the cross of earthly greed,
Hangs my bloody Body
On the cross of ignorance,
Laments my poor Mind
On the cross of mortal sin,
Burns my tainted Soul
Ten million people in my city have I.
I see all these bodies, and I want to cry.
They use so much juice!
They wear ugly puce.
I wish they’d move to Singapore, bye and bye.

The environmentalist laments:
in the polluting of seas
by the toxins abreeze
and the chopping of trees
by the greedy who seize

starry tapestry
on ebon turquoise sky
laments for no moon.

He wanted to domesticate his lovely wife
This misogynist plan caused him lots of strife
She went after him with a sharpened carving knife
Ruined my life! He laments. She ruined my life!
Poor little Kelcie, while taking a selfie,
Tripped and fell down the stairs.
She cracked her crown as she went down,
Twisting her ankle and knee.
Now she laments at these awful events;
"All for a picture of me!"
My heart’s tears fall to extinguish its flame.
that burns for true living
And yet laments, for fear and doubt came
and called such a goal a fanciful thing.
Thus I cry and reduce this blaze to a mere sputtering

The Washer Woman in Canyonlands
An old woman laments
of her daily chores,
the stinging lye soap
and a biting washboard.
With knuckles bleeding
into the day’s dirty water,
she sighs and prays
for a better tomorrow.
too
perfect
for this world
she's an angel
without hurt or pain
now
the
clouds cry
as do I
soulful laments
and heavy helpless
tears
rain
and sun
together
combine become
her essence hugging
me
Owl hooting cease now
The ears feast the dirge of night
One more rat is dead
Rat flesh shrinks tonight
Makes feast for tomorrow's barn
A new parliament
When the owl laments
The village waits bait in breath
So silence breathes peace
Grey
winding
lonesome road
laments beyond
high hedgerows hiding
sun blushing rose spilling
throughout darkening day sky.
Speed teasing devils push homeward
lyrics screaming bring pent-up release
driving out sorrow lures transient peace
My pen was touched by God,
Bestowing upon me the most exquisite pain.
My laments wrestled with silence,
I fell silent while burning in the desert of reality.
I learned: inspiration is God's path.
Thus my deepest pain became my ink.
Born out of wedlock
she gave up her baby girl
for quick adoption.
Twice married since, old and frail,
she laments her childless life.
