Short Miserably Poems

Passive resistance 
                                Expelled uncharted voyage
                                         Miserably failed....

A would-be poet wrote a Sonnet,
With few brains under her bonnet,
She tried and miserably failed.
She picked up her pen,
And tried once again
this time her persistence prevailed....

From strings miserably out-of-tune,
voices compose music, sung a cappella.
Writers join them prepared to oppose injustice
yet harping over the kinks in government.

Courts can free
or incarcerate the body--
we are subjects of laws,
both legislated
and those self imposed:

"Faith" is a double-edged sword--
it may work fine in heaven 
but fails miserably when it comes
to politicians....

Now there's no more climate change,
All atmosphere beyond our range,
Chopped down last tree on Earth,
Turned to paper, for what it's worth,
They wrote, "Save the Trees",
Gasping for air so miserably,
That was that, you see,
True tale of our last tree!...

Her Essence
 

It is purely my indecisiveness to blame

This heart she cherished miserably lost

Doubt treated love like a fleeting game

Remnants of her essence a pallid ghost

was on a quest
to postpone 
inevitable downfall
was always trying 
to satisfy
need to control
situations outside 
comfort zone 
inferior effort to 
try and reach a 
level of contentment
based upon acquiring
things outside the self
failed miserably...

Many great men in history have managed, the entire world to tame

BUT

All of them have failed miserably, victory over themselves to claim!

I wouldn't wish a life with me
on my own worst enemy.
I live my life very miserably
and cause others to feel miserable who care about me.
I use to be happy go lucky.
I use to be the life of the party,
but too many years of too much tragedy
has made a shell of a man out of yours truly....

how satisfying
to be a meal
to nourish
feed 
to be a buffet
for one who is hungry
starving for days
thirsty
trembling
to be devoured
breathed in
dripping from his chin
being tasted
savored
melting through his fingers
warming his mouth
satisfying his urge
he is full
miserably full
too much of me...

Anthropologists are quick to brag
of homo sapiens’ superiority,
notably his cognitive ability
and why “lesser” species lag
so miserably in this capacity.
And yet the embarrassing evidence
contradicts human experience
which even the least brightest
can see but not anthropologists
despite doctorates and PhDs?...

When those abominable moments in our lives come, my beloved brothers,
 
And with indignation our voice to heaven, in protest, we feel to raise
 
We have to remember the instances of happiness our companions were
 
That we did fail, miserably, skywards our eyes to turn to, our Lord to praise!

I have tried, 
To hide,
In a place I was knew,
Where troubles were few,
A place in which I didn't know of hate,
And a place in which my dreams were ever so great,
Oh, to return I have tried greatly,
Only to fail miserably,
And I've learned to accept that though,
I cannot return I can show,
Those yet young,
That world in which once I belonged....

a daughter

When I look back
I relive petty torments
The way you teased me
The way I displeased you
The scars I needn’t show
With nowhere else to go
Avoided you miserably
Your need for turbulence 
had held me hostage 
Your drama
Day by day 
Flashes of you
Only glimpses of possibility
Vows of a better life 
When I look back...

If You Never Met
By Franklin Price
2/22/2017

If you never met John Doe
It would be too soon
A heartless, rotten, silly man
Who had a pet baboon

Treated his pet miserably
Screamed 'til he turned pink
Verbal assault was not enough
So he taught his pet to drink

Both were  alcoholics
In the Lazy Dog Saloon
John Doe and his special pet
The ring-tailed drunk baboon...

Balance to me means to try and be less Type A
To stop obsessing over things I cannot change
Balance to me means not to play all weekend.
I am so Type A during the week that I feel I deserve it.
Balance is something I do not do well.
I am obsessive and compulsive, so balance would be fantastic.
But it is something I have to try too hard to do.
I fail at it miserably, being Type A....

She tried to look like she cared.
Failing miserably.
We all know what a tease she is.

Isn’t that woman struggling with an alien?
We nodded, not caring.
Should we help her?

No.
Look at her body language.
She loves it.

She has always been a flirt.
We watched him carry her off.
She had a smug look on her face.

Should we tell her husband? Someone asked us.
Tell him what?...

Perhaps the Rose best
define itself? Lord knows
I have tried and failed
miserably! Unable to
live up to such sublime
fragrance, captivating
textures and enchanting 
colors—singular for 
each, while my replicas
are by the millions; just
recite our poetry if in
doubt. 

No! I can read your beauty;
cultivate and reveal--
but as God decrees of all
only we
can write 
our own....

I inked the stem of a rose
Of which I shall write and compose

A poem for my endless wish
To create the best literary dish

But for each word I write a thorn pricks me
And my blood changes the tone so miserably

Perhaps next time I'll choose to compose
Without a thorned stem inked through a rose

Why would a Lord's servant miserably die,
And his wife and children are left embroiled in lack?

Why would a toiler a beautiful mansion buy,
But a gun bearing loafer ambushes his head?

As I continue my gripes with life
Another question comes up:
Why should the industrious laborer seek heaven's favor
But all this he does in vain?

Why and why I ask
Until I discover that life is an empty husk!...

Eclipse of sorrow inadequate circuit of fame. 

Massly defined theories- a falling  raven.
Bluring blessedness busting uneven. Mischievous monkeys within. 

Fade lurking fade response fade mind.  Concealed the fine wit pouched with sticky ticks.  

Thriving physically growing vigorously. .. 
Malevolent mr miss fully satisfactory  

Unwritten image frow
Minshing throw...
Misled miles
Moaning miserably......

Very strange and unexplorable 
is this illusion in our mind.
It is like a glittering pearl 
in our darkness inside.

It knits a fine linen with joy and dreams 
Decorates the cloth with alluring things.
This sorcerer engulfs and covers us 
With it’s dire hypnotism.
Then finally deludes and deceives us 
So miserably with blankness.

Black fire was furtively raging
after the massacre of moon.
I still stood with feet of clay
to experiment with my lies.

Bare neck hanging, something
has to be done, to make a gift
for the sake of truth, walking alone
without an effort.

I suddenly realize the illusion
and fail miserably in a perverted manner, 
make a mockery of the death trap
in a hospital of thumbs

down, to roll the carpet.
