Forlorn fibers fly
ruby refuse recoiling
morose motors mulch

Those blue,
Morose days
Temperature drops
Shifting clouds,
Goose-flesh -
A fickle sun
Leaves no heat...

They brewed-up vaccines morose
pledging to self-diagnose
disease most scary
hoping to bury
pathos with each costly dose....

The power of life’s morose destiny
Written with definite pain
Certain bane interest

Fireman Jim felt morose and grim
He could not put out a fire
He lost his hose
So Jim foreclosed
As he no longer had the desire...

Mine of mind
Morose of mope
Flailing through 
The torrent
Beside but never near
Perched upon
Window's ledge
Splintered soul...

Bellicose and Verbose 

Trump has been known to be bellicose,
And at same time also very verbose;
Sad affairs;
Never cares;
While feeling like we may be morose.

This silly man needs some cheering up
Really don't get it, the sun's my pick-me-up
Things are in tune
Born with a silver spoon
Then why am I carrying such a grudge...

There once was a lonely young girl
Who lived in her own little world
When she felt morose
She took off her clothes
And said,"I'll give naked a whirl".

Deep black like the night with no moon
Somber dirgeful grave morose tune
Ebon flower dahlia's late bloom
Pretty blossom
Place where stone crypt's by near cold tomb
Life's gone awesome...

Sad lull in the meadow 
All animals felt it
They paused

A morose feeling
Songbirds shuddered
Melodies ceased

Depressed knowing
Something evil was coming
Body dumped that evening...

Deep black, like the night with no moon.
Somber dirgeful, grave, morose tune.
Ebon flower, dahlia's late bloom.
Pretty blossom.
Placed near stone crypt, by near cold tomb.
Life's gone, awesome....

Funeral
A gray day, long and windy
A long line, sad and weary
A loved one lies still
Never to celebrate again
All there wear black
All there morose and mourning
A day of silence
A day to say goodbye...

Yesterday my day was grey
and I was terrified to step outside
terrified of what I would find on my way
Long I stood because I knew I had to decide
Then suddenly the sun rose
Lit me up from being morose...

Stemmed wings upon an autumn breeze
directionless ambassadors take flight
cast red against the morose, darkened sky.
Beauty’s flying carpet on the wind.

Month of March makes distinct mark, 
Meaning the end of the dark;
Unmasked, unrestricted muse 
Melts away pandemic, morose blues.

Mistletoe hung 
o’er alabaster Angels
 
Wreathes of holly
Wrapped round a morose marble God

At times I’m charmed
By thoughts of Gods and Angels…

And yet at other times
I find religion rather odd...

Soul abducted by a fermented sweet drops
Morose temper, hauling like a deranged fox
   Tongues idle within cracked lips
    Herbs ashing between finger tips
 A brawl stirred, Victims refugee on roof tops.

Silly pills are really quite expensive these days
Jokers like me need 12 a day, that's a lot to pay 
To remain this happiness queen
This infamous giggling machine 
Else I'm morose and lure kiddies into alleyways...

Appears To Be Morose

Trump appears to be morose
Disgruntled and is really grouse
A real chip off the block
That ended up being a crock
And has often been bellicose.

Every path he is on always leads
to another war.

Sickle moon moves in sly
Cuts through the dark morose sky
Stars console from far
Sick mind shreds life in its clutch
Divine soul acts as healer.

Listen to poem:

Beyond
These trivial pursuits
The day looms long,
Largely unused, unplanned,
Promising unimportant
Activities.
Anticipating alternatives,
Inertly I idle,
Mind meandering meaninglessly,
Mildly morose,
Diffident, diffuse,
And aimless....

Morose feelings do sashay
  Take with you those clouds away

Beckon sunshine through the day
  No sad thoughts allowed today

All fun tidings do convey
  Naught but belly laughs all day

Feckless forest faeries faintly frolicking for fiddling foundlings.
Morose mortals merrily mixing meager mushroom munchies 
Fantastical fey forever feeds frenzied fevers following forest firs 
Chattanooga chirps, cheeps, chattering chipmunks, chewing crunchies....
