Short Wroth Poems

One sunny day little Mary Miller
Picked up a mottled green caterpillar,
Which became a monster moth. 
One fine morn her dad grew wroth:
Her moth laid eggs in his denture filler.

Contemplating eventide
Requested a longed desire
Resting in heart chamber side
Provoking aloud suspire
Burning as a wroth wildfire

This heart of mine is
a wanderer nomad and 
now it is on the 

loose. It became wroth
and restless for the mind is 
bowed down; the shameful

armistice is now
signed. Because it is still
aware that if it

gave upon on you,
if it ceased to love, it would
cease to beat eternally....

All the ways of man so imperfect for he sins;
Blessed are those whom turn around themselves now they win;
Closed hearts now opened up, now repented, now righteous wroth;
Delivering forgiveness amongst themselves sought;

Duty bound soldier
Marching worthy soul
Armed with munitions
While mentally tolls

Comes back wounded heart
Mind, soul, body’s wroth
Wayward Minister
Burden to the cloth

'Twas not the sin of sloth the Visigoth
rained down on Rome: the bitter taste of Gaul.
By moral indolence, His passions wroth.
Care lacked, and inward rot presaged their fall.

Africa is my name,
        America is my friend.
       Britain wroth my fame,
    Indian talked of my trends.
               Thank you!
       To who disflowered me,
         At least i'm exposed
         And none of you can
       No longer spoon feed me.
        Now!; I'm independent
       I refuse to be transparent.

I felt obliged to to admire the themes
Taken thy troubles from out of thine heart
Death shall bring overtones of beams
I remember I was issuing starts

Realest dreams
What do they mean?
Broken hearts what do they wroth
Healed is are once hearten heart

As my heart sleeps, it weeps;
Undying dreams;
Things in schemes;
I embrace and release;
My haunting thoughts;
I embrace and release;
Demons watch;
All at naught;
Laughing at my circumstances I’ve wroth?
Angels say wake up I am worthy and not lost;

awesome beauty stands
glimmering tarnished knot in the 
eyes of no man heart
~
yet hugs in spirit
congested it with thoughts of physics
spoils the purities
~
soul drenched in just lust
of spiritualities
tainted and combust
~
fair thee wroth it is
 about me not about us
I've come to the wrong
~
I lay my selfish
 burning  down please forgive me
spiritual beauty...

if I was just a drop
Would that it would be you could see that I was spot-on
Right on the surface I formed caught
A spot the positive on the surface formed
Just a spot
I wroth, I shoot I shot the surface
Soiled  a spilled  slots
On the surface a piece  of gravity substance
Falling costs
As if it were it was just a  drop

I have been humbled, they had thought.

Exile would be painful, they had wroth.

The forest would swallow me, they had spoke.

To sunshine and sparrows, they had woke.

Though at night, no one knew, that hemlock

And nightbane had replaced their soup

They had not changed, you see.

They had let their sheep roam free.

And one by one, the flock fell

Down through the ravine, straight to hell.

THE RISE AND FALL 
        
First rays of sunrise
Two lovers bloom with the light
So soon the sunset.

THREE’S A CROWD

First there were two just you and me
then you decided to make that three
the same line you spun to hooks us both
this fool full of anger full of wroth
a new life now across the sea.

PROMISES PROMISES

In Church a promise we made to each other
In Court a promise we made to each other.

The light that always cry,
When darkness is bright.
It is not so discipline,
But toss around by all factors.
The rays that from it emanate,
Did pleasant thrills to all animate.
But for the death of its benefactor,
The switcher does his pride lean.

It would have been,
To itself a Lord.
But the things of which it sought,
Wroth it vividly unseen.
This waning light is the light of our clan,
That had been murdered by their plan.

A cobbler may balance his trade, the mending of soles
  With that of a mender of souls, exchanging roles
With a man of the cloth, making two Roman officials
  Wroth, in the opening scene of Shakespeare's 'Julius Caesar'

Yet when barefoot you walk, on cobblestone streets
  It's quite hard to focus on spiritual needs
So there is, indeed, a connection between a man of the cloth and a cobbler
  Perhaps more than between an elected official and a squabbler...

I'm not much if from paper
  More substantial if cloth
Either way what I cover
  Can leave me quite wroth

So, inside me don't wheeze
  Neither slurp, nor drool
And please do not sneeze
  Don't play ME for a fool

I'm your CV mask --
  To keep me germ-free
  is your daily task --
Scrubbing hands is the key

Please wear me outside
  or if you go for a ride
on a bus, on a train or a plane ~
  But not when you shower
Unless you're wacked-out insane...
