Best Apron Poems

Mother wore an ample apron
to cover her clean dress.
She'd tell you that's what it was for
if you asked her, I would guess.

But that apron had more uses
than I could even count.
It brought in eggs and vegetables
and could hold a large amount.

I've seen her use that...

Susannah Wesley’s Apron


      No pilgrimage to Israel;
      No cloistered cell;
      No holy retreat.
      Not with ten tumbling children
      rumbling through...

Lifted by soft wings
My tame little one
Released from loose strings
With praise freedom won
Opened hand run way
Fly fast to the sun

GRANDMA'S APRON 
 
Grandma's apron dabbed my tears and wiped the baby dry.
Carried wood and eggs and fruit when she would work outside.
 
We'd run and hide behind  it when scared or needed warmed.
It smelled just like the bread and pies she baked in...

When I was young,
I often clung,
to many little things.
I'd reach up high,
again retie,
my mama's apron strings.

I sometimes did,
what mom forbid,
although she'd make it clear.
Thoughts still linger.
I remember,
through each fleeting year.

Acquainted still,
her stories thrill,
with many left untold.
I can't go back,
though mem'ries track,
to years I'd rather hold.

I'm...

“The Butcher’s Apron,” often called,
My countries flag, I am appalled,
For Union Jack, inspiring cloth,
Once doused the world in bloody froth

That’s not to say, it’s all been bad,
It did produce my mum and dad, and now
I’m here, produced by them; I produced 
A son called Shem

("the Apron" refers to a stage apron)

In this life,
two types were made..

the type in the crowd,
and the type on the stage.


The crowd consist of haters,
groupies, and fans..

Keep this type at a distance,
you could never be friends.

They were created to admire
and see from afar..

They follow. They...

It hangs there on the kitchen wall,
A tattered apron, that is all,
But there is something I recall,
The love when Mother wore it.

From early morn 'till setting sun,
Her work, it seems, was never done,
Us children kept her on the run,
That apron, I adore it.

It tells of...

Grandma's Apron

In the corner I see a folded apron,  brown with years of stain.
As I draw it to my searching eyes,  I see the sweat and feel the pain.

All the years of toiling is over,  the apron will never wrap around.
The time...

Her Red Apron

Tied to your apron strings 
she wandered, wondered 
wondrous things 
about the snow 
covered trees. 

Put your mind at ease 
now, once and for all. 
Her young mind 
is colorful and curious, 
more privileged than...

Cj-you asked for it and now you got it  
GOING APE OVER AN APRON     
I was just sitting around scratching my head
Wondering why it was that you said goodbye
I was in the kitchen cooking with my apron on
With no other...

Like hungry wolves with ribs showing, men huddle at her heels.

Waiting for any little drop of inspiration from her paintbrush.

Like a wet dog shaking its coat droplets spray everywhere.

Bluffing they have the power and not the need.

Every woman has mother's potential  for nurturing ,...

When she wakens and 
  The sparrows fly, 
Her dawning thoughts catch fire 
  For you and I 
...of this I know... 

When she pauses midday 
  The wall clock seizes 
Her daydreams fixated upon 
  Ourselves and freezes 
...of this...

she loves mi
beyond my scope or scale
she loves mi
and speaks it in sultry detail
I have love
for someone

connected by the heart
I miss her when we're apart
I love you
I love you
I really: really 
love you
love so their my lover
so their my lady
so their my bestest...
