ok, thought i would try my hand at something really depressing...a dirge (not a poem). feel free to hop on board and post your own depressing dirges! LOL!



happy flowers yellow sunny twisted, dry stems crackling
gilded smiling dewdrops dusted with parched grimaces
heads nodding slowly falling in the bleak stillness
tiny petals trembling into rage unfolding, shaking

blue water shimmer shy folding into barren ravines
teasing come-close turn-away song shriveled in upon itself
frivolous froth swirling over dread secrets unspoken
tiny shells tumble into salted wounds shrieking

in the greenery fire flushes, ash sifts lifts to dunes
branches reaching high stands petrified, bleached
once willowy bending these monuments of the leveling
tiny shimmering leaves reduced to elemental unity

skipping child laughing runs to an equalizing silence
flickering instants in forgotten places, the lone legacy
a red handprint in the cave, a single footprint in the mud
a legion of forms marching to this crush of aeons




(what a bunch of rubbish...LOL! ;P)
