Short Plummeted Poems

Oil spill in the Gulf
All is not well
BP should burn in hell...

There came a dark rain from above
With sorrow we released all our doves
They flew up through the night
Some plummeted with fright
One returned framed by God's Glorious Love

Love kicked me with no hesitation 
I am sore as a vigorously used muscle 
I have became love's rag doll
Started up, but soon plummeted downward 
Love has grabbed and choked me abruptly 
As of right now, I am dead as a door nail.......

The temperature plummeted to 26 last night
I figured something like that 
When I discovered the cats  
On my bed  
Together 
In fact, side by side 
Actually touching; 
No batting or hissing involved 

So according to Fluffy, 
Hades froze over...

Oh, to mourn the death of a season
Causing dread for the prediction of nature
Trampling through leaves plummeted from glory
Overt manipulations of human emotions
Barters the time of years gone by
Everlasting cycles of gain and loss
Remembrance eases the transition...

Into the heavens he flew to escape his fate,
Caged in a prison cell the equivalent of death,
And so he soared above on wings made of wax;
Rising up he threw away all caution to the wind
Until the sun melted his wings, such a sorry end,
Sea awaited him as he plummeted back to earth....

Listen to poem:

off a cliff into the abyss
freefalling as in a dream
I plummeted down, down, down
down through life’s wormhole of time
straight into my lover’s open arms
as if awaiting right on cue
steady, strong, my guardian, my knight

Round and round circling
 about the flickering flame,
 heedless of the danger
 till your wings got caught
 by the treacherous fire;
 you knew not what hit you
 as you plummeted down,
 dead.

 Poor little one, you were
 a victim of your own folly, 
 too late learning that not 
 all that glitter bestow
 life....

With wax and feathers 
Strapped to his arms,
Icarus took flight like a bird,
Escaping Crete,
The labyrinth far below.

Forgetting his father’s advice,
Feeling freedom,
Like a moth to a light,
He soared towards the sun.

The wax melted and he moulted,
Then down he plummeted,
To the ocean below,
Where the waves washed over his corpse....

Life’s Journey

An adventure begins – a seed plummeted into a liquid pool.
A ripple arises – waves increase, they continue to expand.
They gain girth – they run across the crystalline surface of time.
They absorb much – their journey begins to wane.
They touch the shore – dissipate and are no more.

Once a mighty angel
The right hand man
Expelled forcefully
Lost his wings
Plummeted to the land
Hatred left seething
Hotter than desert sand
Minions followed
An army at his command
Destroy the almighty’s loved ones
A course of destruction was planned
All of his attempts may be averted
It is up to you to resist temptation
Have the strength to withstand...

A lobster trap must have caught something big
It plummeted into the depths of the Aurora Sea
Captain Fishman danced a glorious jig
Thinking he’ll caught a treasure for free

When they were pulling it up the rope almost broke
This must be a sea creature or monster maybe crewmate
Or a mermaid or merman said first mate McBloke
Mermaid wiggled and jiggled all the way out of that sea...

It was a summer night.
A windswept moonbeam
plummeted. Sexualizing 

an indigo flesh. A butcher
was seducing
a spider, in company of

a holy book. Sunbathing in
mass grave of skulls. The eyes 
peeking out of the caps.

You want to pluck the blue
berries from
volcano mounts. The key player

will burn your script. Body
of milk died on snow. The 
moth was coming out of cocoon.

A rolling drum of thunder resonated 
outside lightning twisted across the grey 
expanse of sky  simply inundating.
Trees began to tango, swirl and jive
while sheets of rain plummeted from clouds
pummeling our startled lawn,
emboldening the rhododendrons to bloom,
liberating the Clematis to sprout,
invigorating and exciting the whole garden 

and all before the first day of spring....

Temperatures have plummeted for November,
And I am monitoring my thermostat setting
Snow is expected, normally, not until December,
Temperatures have plummeted for November
My fireplace is a-glow with hot ash and ember
I suspect sleet and snow we’ll soon be getting
Temperatures have plummeted for November
And I am monitoring my thermostat setting.

Have you ever stared death in the face?
Your eyes growing wider as he steps closer.
Pupils dilate as your day grows ever darker.
Sweat brewing on your brow, 
even though the temperature has plummeted.
Your age finally catches up to you.
Say your final goodbyes to your family, your friends.
As your life flashes past your eyes, all the joys, all the hate.
Death has finally sought you out to bring you home....

it seemed like
two tight busted
bloused women
we're going to have

a round about but
a meaningful in
cluded very stout 
woman broke it up

no one wants to watch
this she shouted as the
ratings plummeted about
but as soon as she left set

all that made 
a difference
to what was 
viewed

the two in fued seemed
to fuse together as we
segued to the voice of
Bob Hope singing 

thanks
for the
mamories...

My memory has been tainted
My mindset had been erased
My thoughts laced in worries
A lost expression painted my face

A place with no mirth
A place with a little injunction
A place brooded over past conversations
The sentences corrupted and caused dysfunction

The ghastly events raced through my head
The past plummeted through all my understanding
The idea of joy is mocked
I find life with constant reprimanding...

Juicy, ripe cherries, still on the jade green trees,
In vibrant, orange sunshine, glinting at summer.
Blackberries winking, saffron noon hour of ease,
When rose strewn seconds, seem lost in slumber.

Fragrant, purple plums gleam hotly, very coveted,
Lustrous, wild raspberries, deeply red and purple,
Ruby red apples aglow, like fiery sun plummeted,
Until all are lost in darkness, 'neath stars eternal.

Fear
of
flying—
facing fear
he boarded the plane
which some minutes after takeoff
violently shook and then plummeted toward earth—
him being sad, not over his impending death, but having just won the lottery

The last line of 21 syllables will appear as more than one line on mobile devices and smaller screens, but it actually fits on one line on larger screens.  Ah, the Romanesque broccoli spirals of the fibonacci sequence!...
