Thankless Poems - Poems about Thankless


Thankless
What a mighty web we weave Throughout the times, Throughout that raging river of poetry That thankless flow of consciousness. Possibly, the very beginning of story telling With beautiful couplets that produced the likes of Beowulf That carried on for centuries and centuries To possess the spirit of Shakespeare That carries on today With you or me With it's titillating and frivolous...

Thankless For Being the Luckless
In the Nineties Clyde’s heart sank: The slowest to rise in rank! You’d think him some faulty shank, The air about his room dank But he was filling his tank For being no stranger to prank That made less rich a bank… Still, not the gods would Clyde thank.

Thankless Devotion
THANKLESS DEVOTION Whirling around Saturn – an empty voyage - Always aimed at the curve Of the immense bejewelled orb, But never reaching her. Tomorrow is an uncertain few hours away, And sunrise is a fickle time For the distant sun Flickering dimly between her rings. Galilieo was the first To understand the loneliness Of being locked to a beautiful But unfeeling mistress. ………………………………………………………………………. ** ...

If you care to sing this one to the tune, 'Ghost Riders in the Sky" it works well. An Outlaw Gang, road into town As evil as could be Robbed raped and pillaged Everything that they could see No one could stand before them As the outlaws had their way 'Cause in a solemn grave The sheriff laid that day A young boy started thinking There was...
