Short Mope Around Poems

You are my Valentine
   You look like Frankenstein
You smell like turpentine
   Your lips like iodine

You wear size twenty-nine
   You mope around and whine
But I like you mighty fine
   You're all I've got ~ You're mine!...

Mope around, 
Quietly, quietly.
Don't make a sound,
Until you do. 
Unexpected, 
Scares me.
Look up, 
Eyes kind and innocent. 
Soft and pristine,
Light, quick. 
Unaware of the worlds hate.
Soft purr, 
A gentle song to sleep.
Kitty,
Why are you so lovely....

My grandma taught me new meanings of “spoon” and “moon.”
	Grandpa and she, as teens, would cuddle and kiss (spoon).
	Apart, they’d mope around idly (moon), almost swoon!

another day i sing the blues
ever sence i heard the news
and i can cry so easily
it seems that crying pleases me
another day i'll mope around
hang my head down to the ground
wait for time to heal whats stuck
try to get over it with some luck
another day i'll spend missing
all my lovin and my kissin
close my eyes and see your face
no one will ever take your place...

~~Euphemisms can not relinquish a loved one in death or a sudden breakup. It doesn’t matter how little or few words are used.
~~Perhaps lengthy passages are said when someone is dead; but they are dead. 
~~It’s not a fun subject to share with a crowd; but it is something that is stated out loud. 
~~Thank you for listening I haven’t a clue. 
~~I’ll just mope around feeling quite blue....

Don't turn your back
because others need you
Don't mope around 
smile and be joyful
Don't be so doubtful
your friends you can                      Believe.


Stop
don't worry so much
Don't say that
everything is okay
Wait
you need to let others                   In.


Care
for others you don't know
Help
those who are weak
Think 
about others then                         Yourself....

Do I like to receive 'em?
You better believe it!
A day without accolades
I couldn't conceive it

I mope around moaning
My head hanging down
I feel like Eeyore
Wearing a frown

But sure as shootin'
Someone sends me cheer
And I'm once again grinning
From ear to ear

For the rest of the day
I'm floating on air
Nothing can depress me 
No worries no cares

If you'd like to contribute
To my mental wellbeing
Send me some happy
My face will be beaming
