Short Sulky Poems

Sulky, crater-faced moon
Pocked by infinite awestruck gaze
Burrows behind dark clouds
Preserving its existence....

sea salty tears drop
sorrow spills silent wounds cry
sulky summer violent
sea weeds settle pregnant rivers
sun drowns sick rise again peace...

Such beauty,

on her peripheral.

Adorned with heathers and brackens bloomed.

Amidst, there lies a wonder, radiant, sulky.

Erosional twists, flow translucent carpet lay.

Deep she is, with a lurking cryptid,

Within her sightings, she,

is Loch Nis...

Crochety,crusty and cross,
ever at a loss;
testy,touchy and huffy,
full of fickle fears,
impulsive teenage years.

Sulky,sullen then glad
faddish,fretful or sad;
tense,dejected and downcast,
each day changing fast.

Like a chameleon cast
by teens that,oh so slowly pass....

She feigns a sober rationality
and speaks to you with fake civility;


   but then her voice can't fool those who can feel
   the hatred hidden there as cold as steel.


A peevish wince she tries to hide from you,
displeasure faintly dripping through and through;


   her sulky air like paint upon the wall,
   she need not try pretending after all....

As darkness fell with suddenness,
the sun slid behind the blood moon.
Sounds of nightlife emerged off tune.
You flaunted your unevenness, 
emboldened by dark drunkenness.
Your twisted mind a fierce monsoon
	as darkness fell.

You came with sulky sullenness 
and brought your foul humor jejune.
You played the part of grisly goon
and had lost all your humanness
	as darkness fell....

At the end of the season
bagging trash
worn out from holiness
Lights burning black holes
in bright windows
Longer nights circle narrowing days
sense of unseen toothless dogs
The thin smoke of merriment rising
out of colorless dawns
The children are sulky
their wishes all came true
someday close at hand
they will understand
Still it’s been
(if the amount of trash
counts for anything)
the very best one yet...

There was a sad whale 
A silly, sulky sad whale
A silky sulky scary sad whale 

There was a sad whale 
A silly sulky sad whale who lived in the ocean 
Oh what a whale he 
Oh how sad he was 
Oh how depressed he was 
Oh how unhappy he was 

There was a sad whale 
A silly sulky sad whale 
And this silly sulky sad whale 
Lived in the ocean 
The deep blue ocean 

There was a sad whale 
A silly, sulky sad whale
A silky sulky scary sad whale...

Halloween horror

Sally hides sweet candy under table
(Since sweet candy makes teeth decay)


Mummy angry...
Finds trick treat candy boxes empty
Jelly beans, fruit salad, black jacks  - whole stash eaten!

Sally looks awful..
Tummy aches
Sally spews vomit
Nasty vomit shows candy


Daddy cross 
Mummy livid...
Early night Sally!
Sulky Sally cries

At the end of the season
bagging trash
worn out from the holiness
missed or avoided.
Lights burning black holes
in bright windows.
Longer nights circle narrowing days,
sense of unseen toothless dogs.
The thin smoke of merriment rising
out of colorless dawns.
The children are sulky
their wishes all came true,
late in the evening
someday close at hand
they will understand.
Still it’s been (if the amount of trash
counts for anything),
the very best one yet....

Heaven, shedding dark tears

Makes this dull, grumpy day

Sulky storms puff their chests

Dressed in suits, flannel gray

They brood and they grumble

And complain of their mood

They're damp and foreboding

Yes, they're really quite rude

But the weather is improving

Rainbows parting the shrouds

God's squeezing out toothpaste

To brush bright ... the clouds!

The God of the universe
who did all things create
promise to those that trust Him
a spirit filled joyful state

This joy has no final depth
there's no limit to it's fullness
for it fills every believer on earth
giving each a real full bless

Sadly many don't show it
at least not as they should
no radiant brightness abounding
just a sulky sorry mood

but God has promised His filling
of joy gladness and contentment
all marks of real joyfulness
in a heart of spiritual refreshment...
