Short Plaintively Poems

Cats meow plaintively.

Shouting screeching misunderstood.

Love induces Hate....

As he watched her sigh so plaintively
a sigh filled with sorrow and chagrin
it made him wonder 
if it isn’t sighs
that initiate the wind....

At the Bird-feeder 

Rushing, pushing
the sparrows shove;

pulsing wings
beating the air,
all for a bounty 
of unexpected feed!

When drops two doves.

 Wings folded,
they plaintively call;

the seed of plenty

gently falls....

a lone
        voice 
softly
        sings
it's solo
          so slowly-
pity
       me
pity
        me
it cries
      so plaintively !
      high
       high
        wretched
               me..
who
will
  save me..
only He

Inspired by Faure's pieu Jesu youtube clip...

Things will be great in two weeks
Foretold, ordained, and promised by my Gaia's wisdom.
With this ring, I her wed
Betrothed, bewitched, smitten and bitten
I plaintively appeal
And foreswearing poor science I lean on intuition's incalculable import
And offer this corpus indelecti as a sacrifice
On the altar of her breast....

In silence of the middle of August
The bell rings plaintively.
It cries about a dream not seen. 
But the red, setting sun has poured bright light around,
and birds sing joyfully about love, about spring.
Grasses dance to the kisses of a breeze,
And flowers smile.
Only the sad, gentle music is audible-
The bell cries plaintively
about dreams that did not come....

Merciless movement
Atonal antipathy
Nonsensical noise

clarinet crescendo
soaring above
the collided cityscape

Harried hordes
Aggravating acrimony
Terrifying tumult

piano playing
plaintively over
the primal phantasmagoria

Torrid traffic
Alienated aliens
Nihilistic neon

soaring strings
singing through
the striking scenery...

I sleep, abrupt awakened, 
by stroke of fingered word. 
A wide and lingering voice 
plaintively whispering 
so much view my eyes cannot digest, 
so much ache, my soul cannot find rest.
You are that sound of distancing voice 
never nearer now to me. 
A pane upon my window beckoning 
come see! come see!
I cannot wake to find a different view 
or quit your echo in the things I do.
Memories of you are nuclear 
atoms which, when split, 
destroy my world....
