Welcome to this weekend’s Suddendeath poetry challenge, grumpy! Anyways, rules are as follows, write a poem in any style using the five words that I give you. Write it in one sitting or in under an hour (only to quash your inner editor, rules are loose there). Add it here, OR link in a comment so we can enjoy each other’s poems. The words can be in any plurality or tense. Today’s words are sad, blue, rough, tired, low.
My entry is below: -------------------------------------------------------
So much effort gone and lost, because of a morning grump
Sorry I took my mood out on you, I feel like such a chump.
Sad I have been, as I watched things break without knowing how to fix
Doesn’t help when morning grumpies I stupidly threw in the mix.
Blue do I feel but not the kind that’s calm, oh no this is low.
Despite my rude morning words, I do love you you know.
I didn’t sleep well and had a rough night and needed my cup of tea,
and I’m sorry that my tired, silly little self was grumpy you see!

sad, blue, rough, tired, low.
I heard from the grapevine you have been feeling so sad 'n' blue,
You know what gossips are like, never know if it's really bad or true.
It has been months since I've been laying low,
I'm tired of the rough nights, that you surely know.
It's been months since we've talked,
I did both of us a favor and walked.
I don't know what more you can expect from me.
I'm sure as hell ain't gonna hang around and see!

Here is my contribution
I had a girl that made me glad
Then she left me and I felt sad
That has happened with a few
When they left I’ve been blue
You’d think by now I’d be tough
But I just hate being treated rough
You’d think by now that I’d be tired
But without a girl I’m not inspired
So whenever I’m left feeling low
I turn to God above and I’m aglow

Hohoho!
-Are you tired?
-Yes, a bit.
I was fired.
-Holy sh*t!
Was Chef rough?
Or were you lazy?
Tell me stuff,
And don't be crazy!
-In the morning
Chef was sad.
Friends gave warning:
"Boss is mad!"
Low net profit
Was the cause.
I drank coffee,
Took a pause.
Boss came in,
I was relaxing.
"That's so blue!"
He said while faxing.
"You have time
For proper rest!
Ah, you swine!"
He shouted stressed.
"You are fired,
Lazy person!"
So i'm tired.
My mood worsened.
