Woebegone
No matter who you vote for the government gets in Left or right, day brings night with colors gray and thin The better parts of nature get worse as time goes on Bilateral infection whose cure is woebegone As hubcaps change in order the wheels forever spin Tomato or tomatto that same old song to sing A baby leaves its mother new brick to build the...

Premium Member Woebegone Love
My one true love is sadly gone, a name upon stone I dwell on; oh, do you recall the chiffon, of my wedding dress in Bourgogne. The green park in France and the swan, since your death I have been withdrawn; yes, I am a girl woebegone, and I dream all the night 'till dawn. Oh, why is the grass like a...

Woebegone
The land known as woebegone Is a grim and forlorn place, No good times, none at all No smiles upon a face. In woebegone dwells misery A place where people scream, And since my love, you left me In woebegone, I've been. There is a fabled realm called hope Where dreams they say come true, If I ever find it, My love, will I find you....

Woebegone Full fifty years ago, late summer, we had planted you... two tiny, wispy saplings that would grow and grace our lawn.

Premium Member This Woebegone Friday Feeling
It's Friday and I am feeling so woebegone, I woke today full of tragic melancholy; the day is dark with rainfall and I have withdrawn. I just want to hide so no-one sees my beauty, oh please no men looking with lust- women with hate; I woke today full of tragic melancholy. I look in the mirror trying to concentrate, deciding...

The Woebegone As wind begins to blow, she sobs on her bed. Is he alive or dead? She wishes so to know. Doubts fill up her head. To doom she seems bound. Wind makes a mournful sound. Snow cascading from dismal sky like her woes - piled high - buries everything on the ground. Dec. 29, 2017 for Laura Loo's 10 Lines, 5 Words:...

While destiny ditched me dearly in a dire domain my lumbering life left me lovelorn in a languishing limbo, With all of my lackluster longing long gone my haggard and heavy-laden heart hurts heartily. ~Alliteration contest by Barry Stebbings...

Premium Member The Woebegone Magician
Alfred was a man of magic; world-renowned was he. Wealth and joy were his. Of sorrowing he could not conceive until that day his one beloved, sweet May, died tragically. No pretty scarves or flowers does he now pull from his sleeve. Vanished is his smile. Woebegone without his wife, he can only grieve. Written Oct. 26, 2016 for The...

Woebegone
Rumpled clothes and dirty shoes looking like he's heard bad news eyes averted, face downcast or is he hiding from his past? Searching for a subway token spirit crushed and heart that's broken listening to the angel's voices rotten luck or rotten choices? Ruffled hair on balding pate always looks like running late tear tracks crust on wrinkled face how did he end up in this...
