Short Woeful Poems

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......

feelings of protection evaporate
emotions, woeful
lack of hope, scornful
deep mourn for love to rehabilitate...

The black velvet clothing hook
Waiting to be wore 
For the woeful soprano
Who sings in a musical

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....

A woeful moaning song is sung.
They flow like brooks.
Mysterious deep afflictions
Swim inside the wet reflections
Of this child's looks....

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….

can’t win improvise
             crocodile tears woeful cries 
                   hypocrites disguise
           endless feigning soul destroyed 
        truth turns to ash neath stone eyes

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

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!

Batting away 
the hold on me to 
rebuke all kindness 
to expel in blindness
the vomit that is dread. 

I fear too many things 
on an empty stomach, so
I inhale the final drops
of my woeful sustenance—
where are you, 
Little Hope?...

How the words of the woeful
wane in the light by the waxing moon
How dismissive of our sorrows
are the shadows cast by tall oaks.
How precious the shimmer of stones
in play with the wind and waters

Love stories on our hearts rewritten,
imbued on parchment of those we've smitten
where whose love was laid to ruin and waste,

fibers with woeful letters erased
again and again, thin the paper,
til none remains to print one more story....

Wolves wander warily 
Warring strength in moonlight
Watching warm skinned bodies
Weakened with chilling sight 
Waging teeth, mouths water
Wakening woeful fright
Mortal wounds with death’s bite
