"sulky" poems
The Grump put on his morning face. Wiped away crystallised grit , Straight out of her teared up eyes. My goodness this poem is shaped out of **** A deliberate ploy, For she is woman, and he is boy. He had a *** change, Normally grumpy is male, hee hee, Today grumpy is me. The last Sunday of a somewhat sulky year. Look deep in my eyes and surely you'll see a tear. I don't cry..... Why ever should I ? Mentally strong as a freaking ox, Manipulative as a silver fox. A wicked sense of humour. Thank f**k , Without that I'd probably have no luck, Not out on the pull. That just isn't cool. Ladies don't. This lady can't be bothered! (C) Livvi

GRUMPY
Among pelagian travelers, Lost on their lewd conceited way To Massachusetts, Michigan, Miami or L.A., An airborne instrument I sit, Predestined nightly to fulfill Columbia-Giesen-Management's Unfathomable will, By whose election justified, I bring my gospel of the Muse To fundamentalists, to nuns, to Gentiles and to Jews, And daily, seven days a week, Before a local sense has jelled, From talking-site to talking-site Am jet-or-prop-propelled. Though warm my welcome everywhere, I shift so frequently, so fast, I cannot now say where I was The evening before last, Unless some singular event Should intervene to save the place, A truly asinine remark, A soul-bewitching face, Or blessed encounter, full of joy, Unscheduled on the Giesen Plan, With, here, an addict of Tolkien, There, a Charles Williams fan. Since Merit but a dunghill is, I mount the rostrum unafraid: Indeed, 'twere damnable to ask If I am overpaid. Spirit is willing to repeat Without a qualm the same old talk, But Flesh is homesick for our snug Apartment in New York. A sulky fifty-six, he finds A change of mealtime utter hell, Grown far too crotchety to like A luxury hotel. The Bible is a goodly book I always can peruse with zest, But really cannot say the same For Hilton's Be My Guest. Nor bear with equanimity The radio in students' cars, Muzak at breakfast, or--dear God!-- Girl-organists in bars. Then, worst of all, the anxious thought, Each time my plane begins to sink And the No Smoking sign comes on: What will there be to drink? Is this ma milieu where I must How grahamgreeneish! How infra dig! ****** from the bottle in my bag An analeptic swig? Another morning comes: I see, Dwindling below me on the plane, The roofs of one more audience I shall not see again. God bless the lot of them, although I don't remember which was which: God bless the U.S.A., so large, So friendly, and so rich.

Introduction: What is Preludium but a time to reflect on what it is we know; What has gone before, and how it might shape those things to come? Preludium, or, what has gone before: An entire world, A great big steaming musty living breathing screaming world and- For all we know- There’s but two souls that care to fill it: Sly Squint, our latest hero, Swinging through his city like t’were a steaming jungle And him the proverbial Ape, He crouches in shadows on rooftops, Directing his lust, forceful! At all That kneels before him. Then there’s our mysterious wanderer- One hell of a sorry, stinking, sulky sort is he. No Name to claim yet garbed in rags aplenty Travelling on an endless quest Towards a dying dusk. Yet we need to draw a Third. See, in this strange place we find ourselves, riddled with danger and loss, We need one who knows some things; One who is up there; Better yet, one who helped to shape this world. Because for now we are clueless, vulnerable, shambling in darkness. And that will simply not do. So, with haste, dear reader, with haste, Let us ride for the one with the answers; The one with more Names than you can count, even if you had a lifetime in which to do so; The one who holds all the strings.

The Stealing of Names - III (Preludium)
It begins brusquely in the dark, a hoary noise, a tune which all the cats in town enjoy. Yes, they stare at the stage for a sparkle of gold to come forth from the shadows, the sound will take hold. Rippling through the room, a devilish groan rises, spirals high from an aged baritone. The other musicians join in this depressing affair and the men in their fifties are still fused to their chairs. The sulky cello, whining trumpet slither into the mix, the sadness fills the ears of several dozen beatniks. Then with no caution comes a madcap flow of music from the star performer, frantic yet mellow. And it slows, then picks up, goes on for what feels like a year, this rugged Jazz, no words but my, **** sincere. Like something so eccentric that can't be left alone, everyone captivated by the golden saxophone.

That's right we do have them, they don't hurt in the same way, but they're a pain in the *** and they **** up my days! Some of us get grumpy, some of us get easily ****** some of us get sulky, and it normally equates to this! I feel **** when my gorgeous girl is away, call me ***** although I won't be labelled as a ****** why can't my lovely just stay!

Bereft At The Loss
Here is a long and lonely night has come again in my life.,, Again alone with these tears,, again I am dreading the fact that the night of pain will never be over,,, my tears is trickling down in the dark,,, drop by drop the tears move down to the way of separation from the eyes and the eyes has no grievance why are you leaving them alone.. The affiance of mine is tears... And I know that it would never break.,, affiance of my solitude.. Something has broken me inside due to some one Today i am sulky in the deep of the heart. Everything is constantly.... going away from me.... My scars again changing into wounds.. Today is another new darkest night but my wounds was old.. Let the pain flows in the veins let them allow what they want to say now... I am just sit and smile here,, listening to the beats which is slowing in the remembrances,, I had the affiance of my beloved but she left me somewhere in the corner of the dark,,, who truly care and will hold you close through even the darkest night,, i think no one is here and no body want to be here to be bury in the dark,, but I am constantly talking to my moon in my pain those who not is not infront of me.., with this hapless life I don't want to be myself again,,, i have closed my eyes with my shattered dreams... MGO

ALONE NIGHT
Take a long drive to see the theater production called "Your Life" in front of me. I take it in letting my imagination float and get wrapped in the reality of you and me. The plot will thicken and the suspense grows the desire will bring the ****** then resolution. But by the time it leads to the final scene, I'm upset, as there is no happy ending, just confusion. So now I leave the stage with disapproval and hurt thinking how I just wasted my time. Unwilling to accept the fate of this show I wish to re-write it with my own rhyme. Spending hours upon hours pondering new ideas of how to end this show perfectly Rejecting every possible outcome I write trying to elude the feeling of misery. However, I can't give up or stop trying this play must not go sulky. I must keep on making endings to complete the thespian in me.

You hide behind that smile An artificial mouthful of white Barren in warmth Just as your barren gums You give me a sulky kiss The commercial Zollywood type Purring Like a cat with a fatal cold Stiff-necked in my arms With feigned bliss Shut up your ****** mouth Your breath is not Ozone -friendly kills my good mood And stop looking at me Behind those dark glasses They don't hide your ***** mind Behind Though your face is clean Your neck and back of ears are not I know your ***** habits A nauseating lump of pretence You fabricate, embroider,magnify Pretence is all you know I hate you -dougwa-

Plastic Smile(I'm Talking to You)
Curveballs can be hit, But dodgeballs are impossible to dodge. Comparing dodgeball to a summer’s day? Shakespeare, try again. Dodgeball, you are synonymous To a hellfire confined to a perimeter That destroys everything it touches, Especially at summer camps. I walk away from dodgeball alive, But dead in self-esteem: Always getting hit, And any clever maneuver of mine always seems to be a violation Of game rules. Dodgeball, you only fuel my aggression. When I am the only one in play, And see beyond the half court line Stronger, more agile and athletic demons Ready to pelt their confidence against my hope, My mind defaults to “bad-sport” ideas And just wants to get the match over with, Lose or win. With a POW! Or even the slightest brush of orb to skin, I give in And have to wait until opposing victory cheers melt Before grudgingly submitting to a pointless rematch That tortures me, vaccinates me with sulky feelings. Crying over spilled milk is negotiable, But I cannot undo the rash from the whiff of a dodgeball By screaming “That’s so not fair!” Instead, I force out good sportsmanship, My eyes wincing, my throat and mind hardening In the struggle to keep vengeance contained. If only the interest in dodgeball would cease And suffocate on the taste of its own humiliation. Boy, would I ever love to burn some dodgeball rubber.

Anti-Dodgeball
Visiting my parents I learned that I am being played, a game in which I am board and piece and ****** weapon. When a picture of me sulky toddler evokes “You always hated me” roots uncurl hibernated spores stored through my salad days and youthful spring. Broach the soil as I **** ankles grabbed, leg-locked planted firm reaching. What do you think grows down there? Digging has turned up rotted fibers, matted hairs and husks.

Clue-Less
* As I was familiarizing the sulky start, Seeking clues in my mindful halt, I aboard my ride for another venture, Holding my seat as script on censor, Lost in retrospect of my past, Heard a familiar tone at last, He got me indulged with the queries of life, Sharing his perspectives of life, It seems like he has tapped into my mind, After a chitchat, he seems to be one of my kind, At last it was the time to say goodbye, Leaving me reasons, for the next time to say “hi”*

Talk With A Stranger
Across the room I watch you from afar So much to see, so much to admire I can only gawk in awe: Shimmering softly beneath the party    lights Delicate as fine porcelain, elegant just    like a China doll Little Perky !  diminutive little button    of a nose A sublime protuberance, with a    wonderful angular symmetry; Like a beautiful ballerina in the centre    of the face One lonely Cinderella, forever    overlooked and unsung Neglected, passed over, the great    unmentioned one; So still and so quiet, mysterious like a    question mark - "Little Perky, don't you fret, I! Me! I'll be your poet though a poor poet I    be I'll hold up your charms for the whole    wide world to see, I'll be your dashing Prince too, if you    let me". Finely chiselled, exquisitely sculpted Better than any Michaelangelo And I love the little wiggle; How silently you sit there and how    patient, enduring all Stuck between the two drama Queens Eyes all painted up, that flit and dart Twinkling and fluttering outrageously    like their a class apart, And a rouged up Mouth's sulky lips,    burning rubber Busy gabbing away, running off like a    wild piano; But then there's you Little Perky,    simplicity itself Shy bulbous beauty, a throwback to    childhoods innocent days: Like the others, you play the game You go along but it's not the same, See you sniff into your little hankie And know that beneath, you're    probably not all that happy, You seem to say (to me at least) " I hoped for more, I dreamt - I dreamt     of other things And other nights than these". I see you Little Perky, I see you all    alone in your lonely prison cell I hear your sniffles, your silent sobs    and sighs. When pinned in the corner and    assailed from all sides My eyes, they secretly run to your    quiet hill, that lonely mountain, Like Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights I'll wait for you Little One I'll wait for you there..... my Cathy (O! lovely wild and spirited Cathy) I'll wait for you through the wind, the    rain and the snow I'll wait for you to come I'll wait for the real 'You' to show, Beyond all the bravado and the big    bluster notes Beyond the crowds constraining looks I'll wait for you, my Love, We'll laugh again, and dance beneath    the stars We'll live the dreams that once we had. Little Perky, sweet alarm bell of the    soul, shiny little bugle that gleams Go on now, give it one more blow One huge giant elephantine blast That'll sweep them all away And leave only you and me here,    alone at last Facing each other across this floor O! Little Perky, my Cinderella, my    Cathy.......my Heart!

Finely chiselled, exquisitely sculpted Better than any Michaelangelo And I love the little wiggle; How silently you sit there and how    patient, enduring all Stuck between the two drama Queens Eyes all painted up, that flit and dart Twinkling and fluttering outrageously    like their a class apart, And a rouged up Mouth's sulky lips,    burning rubber Busy gabbing away, running off like a    wild piano; But then there's you Little Perky,    simplicity itself Shy bulbous beauty, a throwback to    childhoods innocent days: Like the others, you play the game You go along but it's not the same, See you sniff into your little hankie And know that beneath, you're    probably not all that happy, You seem to say (to me at least) " I hoped for more, I dreamt - I dreamt     of other things And other nights than these". I see you Little Perky, I see you all    alone in your lonely prison cell I hear your sniffles, your silent sobs    and sighs. When pinned in the corner and    assailed from all sides My eyes, they secretly run to your    quiet hill, that lonely mountain, Like Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights I'll wait for you Little One I'll wait for you there..... my Cathy (O! lovely wild and spirited Cathy) I'll wait for you through the wind, the    rain and the snow I'll wait for you to come I'll wait for the real 'You' to show, Beyond all the bravado and the big    bluster notes Beyond the crowds constraining looks I'll wait for you, my Love, We'll laugh again, and dance beneath    the stars We'll live the dreams that once we had. Little Perky, sweet alarm bell of the    soul, shiny little bugle that gleams Go on now, give it one more blow One huge giant elephantine blast That'll sweep them all away And leave only you and me here,    alone at last Facing each other across this floor O! Little Perky, my Cinderella, my    Cathy.......my Heart!

I see the rigours of time Etched on your sulky face Though the sun's fingers caress The brow of your ambitions Nostalgia tinkles solemn bells Of dreams maimed and cobwebbed By time's blunt knife I see you mourn Life is molten wax that congeals With a caress of the air Life is a wagon swaggering downhill A liberating spasms Of wee wet dreams... I see you mourn I see your determination thawing Like white icicles on white winter window pane I see your patience wane in pain Like dry cakes of mud in the African sun I see your conscience rot and ooze Black brackish slimy rot Tomorrow they will declare you A disaster no-go-area zone I see you mourn Emotions thunder, tempers glow And voice a shrill mingle with unknown Raucous whispers of the gods of doom This world has been terribly nice to you I see you whimper like a miserable dog That has lost its tail Brother you have lost your tale I see you mourn. -dougwa-

I See You Mourn
#1 You were my first kiss, my first boyfriend, my first grown up moment older, seemily sophisticated you had this idea that the world was lucky to have you in it a god complex like no other and let me tell you, you had 15 year old me, convinced I felt lucky I felt old and sophisticated and although you were just a bump in my road I'm thankful I knew someone like you I think of you from time to time I remember you with giggles and innocence as well as with ice cream and tears oh how sweet and naive a 15 year old can be #2 You've always been my favorite. stood tall, sweet you thought I was the best thing that ever happened to you I swear you would've tried to move those mountains just to see me dance with a smile you loved me with pure intentions and a sparkle in your eye I'm sorry I ruined that love story for you you deserve a great love story more than any of us to the first boy I ever loved, it felt like magic. didn't it? heart flutters and forehead kisses faded all too quickly I think of you from time to time I hope you find the girl who holds your great love story in the palm of her hands oh how sweet a first love can be #3 I call you the lion in poems you took whatever innocence I had left in my fragile frame I never had seem evil with my own two eyes until I met yours you gave me a pit in my stomach and a fear in my heart you showed me some actions can never earn forgiveness and some people are so ugly they don't deserve love I think of you from time to time especially in the nightmares I hope you shutter at the thought of my name thanks for teaching me how to bring a power hungry man to his god **** knees I won't forget that lesson oh how sweet a corrupt man can be #4 my muse you have been the subject of my words since the day I laid eyes on you brilliant, brave and bold you are the root of any and all of my inspiration how could anyone not fall for you no one ever warned me about the sad brown eyes and the sulky smile no one ever told me the greatest loves make for the most epic heartbreaks you are a wicked man my love but if there's anything this heart of mine beats for it's a troubled boy begging for a home I let you in, no trouble at all it's getting you out, thats been a little more difficult I think of you all the time days on end, minutes on high my mind is polluted with the images you left for me to find I hope you know, my baby is you. till the end of time oh how troubling a life saving love can be

The clock on my tablet has struck twelve And I wonder what it is I can easily delve Into on a night as wondrous as this one is Back home the witching hour has come And I am sixty-seven and feeling calm Here in the queen’s realm I still am sixty-six I watch the cloudy skies for a sign, any sign Dawn is a reticent traveller and by design In the home country we’d be up and about What a lark when finally it’s daybreak here And there’s none of the fabled English bird songs To serenade my day, just the sulky silence and drizzle Who needs contrivance when family is here and warm? My day is made when finally at table we sit and are merry Counting my blessings and dreaming of something spectacular.

AMBIGUITY AT MIDNIGHT
*There are two types of summer; white and dark. White summers are those full of lawn and linen, the sea and soft sunshine, cherries and children’s smiles, in which you feel disconnected and light, almost floating, dreamy and distant in a haze of white dandelion fluff. You don’t ever want to land. Dark summers are honeyed and sulky, full of pomegranates, thunderstorms, magnolias and un-kept promises. Cinematic and shadowy, you exist in a trance of melancholy, and feel passionately, though feign detachment. Pandora opens the box, and lightning fills the sky.*

Summer
She lives in the green room. Where the curt air's laying thick. Walls like apple crumble. Cracking to the resonance of the latest passing train. A box of tricks and secrets held, within her PC brain. Halo of electric light. It's aura, hanging on the arty ceiling, like a sulky angel would. She's killing time for company. She mutters to her ego, awaiting it's response. It's response is somehow null and void. The lady's confidence destroyed. Hit round the head with all sorts of capers. Her failings lashed together with cigarette papers. No pun intended, surely no joke. Rather bizarre considering the lady doesn't smoke. (C)LIVVI

MISS MISERABLE
I crossed a Black Cat's path today, He stared me down with his Golden Moon-Eyes; Hushed and Silent Eyes that, still, Said many words often unheard by human ears, Even Cat-people, like myself. An intertwined dare and threat, Lightly glossed with acknowledgement: "Cat-person, what are you doing, To think yourself so inclined As to cross a Black Cat-Path, such as mine?" I quickly apologized for my error, and he turned his back, Already onto some matter of important business. Thus I got to wondering, as it were, If perhaps when I crossed his path It was to him bad luck was brought, Hence the sulky look of the poor Black Cat…

Black Cats
The path long and strenuos My steps falter and ebb Ailing, my heart is Hankering to be set free Lost and battered to the demon in me A sulky weary being hides Praying for divinity
