Short Scoffing Poems

Children laugh,
scoffing at heartaches of
lonely souls sobbing
in corners of the playground;
but the bully is really a coward....

JERSEY ROCKS

Jersey rocks
Blue blazes
Docker jocks
Tackle and blocks
Hooks grapple
Around the clock

Scoffing bodies ripple easy
Power
Hardhats safeguard
Secret hearts

Foreign toughs
      Eye
Liberty's muscles...

When the wars of all nations fall quiet upon shells and shallow graves

A mockingbird rises from ashes and spreads its wings into nuclear skies

No muezzin left to spread angelic messages but a nest in calm turrets

Love should have its place among
those virtues that humans value,
but perfidious dudes scoff at
sentimentality!

What's the irony in this....
is it me that idiot
who shows his full devotion
by being faithful?

tonight
the dark
comes with
skepticism, doubt, distrust.......

tonight
the pain
touches
incredulity and scoffing

tonight
the loneliness
comes for
an inclination to believe that we are motivated purely by self-interest

Clouded and shrouded in mist

Hear the Misty Mountains moan

From their peaks they spend their time

Scoffing at hills fully grown

Rumbling and grumbling all day

As they watch the clouds go by

Their arrogance knows no end

Till they're humbled by the sky...

The flying winter-end moves ambivalently 
Scoffing with whitened celebration 
And thrashing through adoration
While nippy Jack Frost chuckles underhandedly 

Into the evening joyful delight 
The spring time moon, sings in speckle red 
Life moves triumphantly in joyful wed
And stillness beats the night...

We danced.
On that cold night
with everyone watching.
We didn't care.
Didn't pay attention to their scoffing.
We kissed.
Lips intertwined in warmth.
Dancing there in your arms,
I felt all my pain go away.
I just want this night to stay.
A never-ending love
that has captivated my soul.
I just don't want you to ever go....

He said, "Hello". I Said, "Who are you?"
He said, "I am the Devil".
I said, "C'mon man. You're not on the level".
He said, "Yes, I am".
"I can't talk to you. My morals forbid".
The Devil said, "You just did."
"No I didn't", I said.
"Yes, you did".
I shut my mouth and stopped scoffing.
As he vanished, I heard him laughing....

Sick and twisted people can be through in this life 
laughing and scoffing behind your back as you turn your head 
Even if you don't cry there yelling and taunting brake your
Spirit like a sharp blade.

Sick i am i of being laughed at by others who
no not what true pain is.

This is true pain, Words are true pain.
Sick are they, sick is this world....

a dangerous makeup
painful in its entirety
with no good compensation:
An Endanger of Life!

a scoffing-belief
extra cost for survival
its value nothing can buy:
A Worthless Risk!

a sinful poison
thereby a fool is known
knowledge alone its antidote:
An Eye-opener born by pain!

ignorance
cost me much
and much cost me more
behold very much I now know....

You don’t like my structure;
Sit and call me sell out,
as you reap each reward;
Scoffing at discipline,
get up and try coward;

You don’t like my structure,
schedules drive you mad;
Complain yet do nothing;
Sleep whenever you want 
with a hand out yawning;

You don’t like my structure 
eating what I worked for;
Stop hanging on me then! 
I’m done with your comments;
I won’t be dragged again....

the pig was a snake
not to be trusted
the snake was a pig
scoffing the custard

the owl was a chicken
not very brave
the chicken was an owl
a wisely old sage

the sheep was a dog
fetching a ball
the dog was a sheep
following all

the rat was a cat
chasing a mouse
the cat was a rat
away from his spouse

and the mouse?

well he was a monkey
swinging in trees
the monkey was a mouse
greedy with cheese

1)  When tongues are wagging,
     Eyes are sagging,
     Times are dragging,
     And life is nagging...

Chorus:
Look above,
I say, look above,
Look to God,
And find love.


2)  When some are scoffing,
     Some are laughing,
     Some are teasing,
     And life's not pleasing...

3)  When eyes are crying,
     Times are trying,
     No one's minding,
     And life is grinding...
