Short Mollify Poems

Sugary, yummy, tasteful
and dexterously
carved out to mollify
my infinite passionate
urge.
The work of celestial 
hands once
in hundred decades 
seen....

Listen to poem:

Laconic lullaby a simple sigh
a wink a terse goodbye,
pithy pun a pointed reply
made turgid when seen eye to eye.

Tangy zest an alibi
for why you flit on by
to mollify and justify
your brusque awry reply....

Trump Supporters Want To Acquiesce

To straighten out the Trump mess;
Give much attention and him bless;
Much nerve,
Then swerve;
They always do decide to acquiesce.

Jim Horn

Need to write a poem with word
mollify in it. That should be interesting.
Nullify and cry could also be part....

Autumn


Alluring colours of autumn mesmerise,
Unfathomed beauty in orange and yellow,
Trenchant evanescence of greens,
Unfeigned emotions true up in jest,
Mollify the fiery torrid days,
Nautica furnaces red on edge of horizon !

Time ticks by there's no time to cry
You can only turn a blind eye
The world is ready to horrify
And I wont stick around to say goodbye
While I solidify
You try to justify these actions that terrify
It will petrify and mummify
They wont mystify or mollify
As you just stand there stultified

My gender’s not the fairer one,
my student status ... past,
mine is not the voice of region
nor a specific caste.

No network calls me “one of us”
nor seeks to mollify,
I'm not considered ethnic, thus
I do not qualify.

The journals, competitions and
calls for anthology
don’t explicitly ask for bland,
old, white-guy poetry....

MESSENGER

Blue circles 
white lightning
my days vivify
ease pain
mollify
fright nights
and sleep
fighting

red numbered spheres
three bouncing dots
forgive and forget
me not’s 

conversations
reparations
private jokes
and 
innuendoes

soul breaking
life saving
love in
dialogue

ZZ Snore, Snore, ZZ
Written: by Tom

Night’s sleep was scanty,
today I’m logy and slow.
Forgetting pharmaceuticals,
caused tossing to and fro.

Today my song,
won’t be a mellifluous sound.
But I’ll be pedantic,
until my sleep clocks rewound.

I’m apt to be loquacious,
during sleep once again.
While a good power nap,
might mollify my pain.

A dog's job is to foes terrify,
Actors of scary films horrify,
The police a rogue identify,
Insurance firms one indemnify...

Science would laymen's claims verify,
Panels rigged elections nullify,
Microscopes to microbes magnify,
Deodorants to bad air purify.

Witnesses in courts to testify,
A counsel to trial judge mollify,
Big stereos to music amplify;
Flowers one's surroundings beautify...

The Angels Lord God glorify,
Nudists the public mortify!...
