Short Seriousness Poems

Secrets:
Slyly discrete;
Suspense no-one forgets;
Seriousness not without heat:
Repeat....

One can escape 

the seriousness of the weekend 

by hiding behind one of the booths 

at the land checkpoints....

dividing up our inheritance
swiftly without seriousness
three without argument

our parents would be proud
zero confrontations
fine day to be a sibling...

In the very seriousness of times
Of survival and culture and creativity
It is nice to know Mother Nature has a sense of humor
For how can you not smile at a little frog?...

The world was a blur, a hazy design, 
Like Monet through mud, a most curious sign. 
But then came a change, 
My vision rearranged, 
Now, the details are sharp, and the jokes truly shine!...

I cement my seriousness with warm resolve
I have sixteen horrible math problems tonight to solve
If anyone despises mathematics, it is certainly I.
Every math problem except a word problem makes me cry....

loudly applauded everyone at the sound of our names
high-pitch my talk for a silly sounding seriousness
performing so clutched down on heavy plunging drops 

late aged (bad), still recognizable ol' friend...

Fierce Angel

With a sinister look
But amiable open book
Dangerous sharp glare
But so much love to share
Seriousness of a lone wolf
Playful & peaceful like a dove.

orange sentiments stick out of the seriousness of today
tantalizing me, teasing me to want to laugh, sing and play
I feel younger, more worthy, a hero, someone who could be adored.
If you would have said I was a mere human I would have been floored....

Will there ever be a day 
If ever a day with the sun's 
Fertile rays  will that day last
Forever  a day  of  endless 
Fortitude  a day of seriousness 
 Of shooting stars Granting every
Wish is such a day possible 
Without much stress
Should that day be called the best...

I sometimes sit
And wonder in
The who knows why's
The could have been's
The if I had's
The then what then's
The times I should
Have made amends
The would have done's
The never did's
The seriousness of
Who am I trying to kid
As I sit 
And wonder in
The how would my life
Be different...

I need something, someone
Anything, anyone
To cure my sickness
I need someone to understand and comprehend the seriousness
Coughing up blood and a neverending stream of tears
Lumps in my throat
Stomach of butterflies
Loss of oxygen
Please help me
Please save me
From this neverending feeling of..
Love.....

Aristotle's  Poetics

Epic poets quite divine in seriousness of truth's glow,
In the world’s poetic distinctions compared to history,
In “Poetics”, Aristotelian logic did clearly show,
Poetry more divinely scientific than factual glory,
Poet truths outshine history’s particular knack for gory!

Monotone some would say
black and white this is true
but not like simple nothing new
sitting comfortably on the couch
a look of intensity
seriousness
as if almost reaching bliss
paws out front 
haunches bent
tail forthright between two back legs
he slouches
upon his head he wears a mask
like a bandit
as he is named...

Innocence

Once,
Met with an image
Masked in modernity
Walked in purity
Smiled in serenity.
I stopped and reckoned,
There was a river
Flow like giver
Soul and body
Amalgamation of Chastity.
I acknowledge
There was simplicity
Wrapped into somberness
Dignity
Packed into Seriousness
Vanity
Dressed into richness.

You Will Freeze That Way

By Elton Camp

Most kids like to make a funny face
But parents act like it’s a disgrace
And they may with seriousness say,
“Do that and you’ll freeze that way.”

I wonder how that ever got its start
And why any ever took it to heart
No matter when, where or even why
It’s very silly to keep telling that lie...

Rondelet: Bad Guy Dope*

See what I said
Head strong arm strong ham-strung bike dope
See what I said
Training ground's where villains are bred
Good guys strain up Sisyphus slope
Bad guys dope down Paris and mope
See what I said

*Please see poem posted on December 31, 2012, titled:
"This Bad Guy World (in all seriousness)"

Entertainment


All we talk about
is death. We see it
on TV as casual as
sports. It's

empty death, non-heros
suddenly vanished from the script.
We don't live with histories,
only empty-eyed stories.

We say goodbye with
one-syllable whistles
and finger flicks. Blood
is a decoration

that entertains us with
seriousness. We know
how goodbye is a joke
we needn't really tell....

An Accusation has been made,
They rush it on the front page.
Presumption of innocence long since lost;
Guilty as alleged, freedom the cost;
The nature of evidence be damned;
The seriousness of the charge demands;
An investigation must begin;
Repeat, repeat, repeat the charge;
Thus, the perception is at large;
There is guilt of wrong doing;
This is not at all amusing!...

Beams of light shine
on an angel
There couldn't be a 
better way to explain it
The seriousness sat upon the face
poised and focused
is reflected on its
majestic and grace
How it flies
through the skies and
see things we could
never see
One flight at a time
two soaring in line
claws locked together
They put their trust
and lives within each other
like we were when we......

Childhood went away
in a blink of an eye
How am I supposed
to be adult now?
Stay warm
in this cold world
where it’s seriousness 
fills my veins
making me pretend
to blend in just great
Too much responsibility
I can’t take it all
it’s blurring my vision
of joy I held upon
There are days that I wish 
there was a reverse card 
so I could one last time
believe in Santa’s guard...

Just like shining stars in the sky,
Your traits and beauty held so high.

A diamond`s remnants that are so precious,
Labeling you with greed is fallacious.

You came from the bosom of a great seed,
which imbues love and seriousness indeed.

Your demise is still like a dagger in my heart,
Losing two of you is like floating in vague cart.

Celebrate,
celebrate having known her,
her shallow depth and deep cold-heartedness
the seriousness that was ever there,
the facade, the pump and pain.
Celebrate the knowledge you are privileged to share,
with your family and friends, knowledge through unsavory remembrance.
Justice is but a walking shadow,
always whispering high tide, fresh bread.
And I have to yell back, no pennies, Prima Donna!...

Seriousness is an acquired trait,
Exactly like moss on embedded stone –
Nearly enveloping the rock’s raw state,
Slowly eroding the surface where grown,
Entirely crumbling to soil

Old granite that had once stood firm and strong,
Falling victim now to lichen’s toil,

Feeling spongy, green comfort … nothing wrong,
Until its whole face has been worn away.
Never rolling with laughter, … ground to decay....

FACINATION
 a certain awe
 a kind
of reverence
illustrated
 mediated
fancifully
 conceived

an executed
 fantasy
through
 a
 virtual

 immersed
in trepidation

a vast moodscape
 iof seriousness
&severity
both  immediate
& passionate
driven

 of inspiration
unforgettable

 the
