Best Acre Poems

Lennie was a Hen-pecked pastry baker
Who told His wife He might forsake Her.
She nagged and was grossly obese.
He wanted it to quickly cease.
Whereupon He frosted Her Half-acre....

Eden's dusk beams light 
As shining dawn sails asky
Amidst sea of gleams

'Lil' planets trade zones
Webbing auras with passion
In fate guarded bends

Yet 'still' were a few
The 'nerdy' moon, 'sorry' star
Rolling out lone cold

Within an acre
They grazed rays, lighting deep flames
'A new begining'

Marred with dusts and doubts
Distance,...

Just a few years left till I meet my maker
Hope my reputation hasn't preceded me as a heartbreaker
I'm truly a decent soul
Quite stunning as a whole
But at times I lose it, run wild over hell's half acre...

Tall and pure oasis 
So much has changed
You remain constant and lovely 
Gentle, morning green grass
Breaks like waves, laps at the shores
Of white, gray, and yellow stones
Towering above me, silent and sure 
Chiseled marble, granite spires, oak
Wrought iron, your scent is old 
A familiar volume...

Been chowing down Post Shredded Wheat
Since I was a young lad it's oh so sweet
Probably an acre by now
Milk from Bessie the cow
This breakfast supreme simply can't be beat

The pulchritudinous aquatic lair,

Of resplendent melancholy depth,

A place damaged beyond repair,

Teeming of glazed ghosts of death.

 

Hither and yon an offed world 
lingers,

The alluring charm of the 
cadaverous expanse,

Where bony-ice settles deep in 
frigid fingers,

A bloodless shore of gothic 
romance.

 

Eyes burning with a copper glance,

Vermilion waves wash...

Piglet and Pooh seal their friendship on their daily walk.
They casually bring philosophy to their lively talk.
Share sage advice, each one with their own reflection.
Demonstrate their trust in each other’s friend recollection.

Their walks take them around 100 Acre Wood along the valley.
They leave bits of...

Tynecot. God's acre.

   Here..
   A quiet churchyard on the Kentish Weald
   Finches flit from holly to yew
   Shafts of gold pierce the morning sky
   Calm is the air, serene is the view.

   There..

Been chowing down on Mini Wheat
Since I was a young lad it's oh so sweet

Darkness envelops like giant wings
Heart thumping eyes unfocused,
Hearing nothing silent as a graveyard,
Under a misty moon a dark shape looms,
Grey, solid, shiny marble it's a cold tomb,
Paying respects with a nod then walk on by,
Respect to all those that are long gone,
All is clear the...

sorry I have to abandon you
because your toxicity level 
has reached an all time high..
the inability for you to acknowledge and accept 
that people have differing opinions ...
your whole life you've wallowed in self righteous muck
your hostility is always just beneath the surface
ready to blow...

OPPOSING ACRE

Well, is it better to travel than arrive
Getting there doesn’t mean you rest
As that is when exploring starts again
To return here, nobody knows when
Stand on the walls and beat your chest
Such adventures make you feel alive

Arriving safely means you do survive
Maybe lose a shirt...

ACRE

Well, is it better to travel than arrive
Getting there doesn’t mean you rest
As that is when exploring starts again
To return here, nobody knows when
Stand on the walls and beat your chest
Such adventures make you feel alive 

For some, the journey starts right here
Exploring, thinking, seeing...
