Tragicomical Poems | Examples


Premium MemberWhat Did We Learn

What did we learn from Mother Earths signal
Cajoling us to be kind and gentle
As our life upturned, with her message stern
That she will not idly watch her home burn
Whilst man heartlessly upon earth tramples

Posterity will judge this parable
Message received is direct and simple
Art of living, with mindful eye discern
What did we learn 

Earth strikes back; we pray for a miracle
With narrow agendas on our table
Consciousness darkened by lack of concern
Though quick to take, we are slow to return
Attitude of man, tragicomical 
What did we learn

Premium MemberDeep Stupor

“The rot has sunk in deep
Yet we continue to sleep”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Grooves of habit
Becoming reflex instinct
No longer wait
Our originality extinct

Waking from sleep
We expect our body to be there 
Is it not a hypnosis deep
Of or true origin now unaware

At a secondary level
In each and every thing we do
Oblivious to Gods miracles 
So patterned has become our view

Even in thought rested awareness
In the vibrant void of cessation
Memory imagery stuporousness 
Obscures depth of our elation

Energy pulsations toroidal
Beauteous full complete loop
Would it not be tragicomical
If to lower orbits it stoops

So to feel the throb in fullness 
To become the bliss fizz
Mindfulness renews emptiness 
Then that that is is as it is
