In dark wintry night, 
Daphne's fragrance heals me of
Crickets' woeful song.

Hopeful but woeful waters,
Pitifully falls...
Lightning wretchedly dances,
Thunders echoed and resound......

his music was joyful, hopeful, famed.

A marionette
A marionette of the void
Aware of the needle like strings,
Stranding on the edge of light
Yet covered by the veil of hollowness
A woeful homunculus, gazing at the abyss...

A Woeful Family 2k12
Herein the throes of our family's tragedy,
Herein our woeful daze, we're not the defeated
Nor victors; Simply the bearer's of tragedy.
Yes, Jonas was here; Thence we're the cheated....

Baby Blues
In bulging globes like sapphires strung,
A woeful moaning song is sung.
They flow like brooks.
Mysterious deep afflictions
Swim inside the wet reflections
Of this child's looks....

Silent warblers perch as garden’s crooners
With crest-petalled wings flapping as banners
All day long they exude unfading light
That no woeful glooms conceal their brightness.

"Till death us do part"
Thus I stepped upon a trap;
Oh, Why I said that?
Now I wail to no avail,
Lo, my life is in shambles!

  Hibernated in caves this June to dream
    Of winning their first game 
    But they exited tame ~
  Green Bay Packers turned them into whipped cream...

I Don’t know 
that poetry can light
anything,
beyond a page -- 

when the world 
in a loop 
of dark lows…

Though Heaven hears Mother’s 
woeful woes, Freewill her nursery's
obstacle….

woeful wanting world wages war,
wait, woodland wakens, wondrous wind instruments,
wafting whimsically,
wood nymphs waltz,
whooping cranes whish wherever,
woodpeckers woolgathering,
woebegone withers,

Underneath the branches of weeping willow
We shared our flaming passion last night
But when this morning, the sun had risen               
Found the woeful tree, glowing with delight!
