Best At Bottom Poems

Quote- Henri Barbusse

""We are all, always, the desire not to die. This desire is as immeasurable and varied as life's complexity, but at bottom this is what it is: To continue to be, to be more and more, to develop and to endure. All the...

Echoes can hide in places far and wide:
in valleys, wells, near walls, in empty rooms;
in hills and canyons and in ancient tombs.

In Chichen Itza, Mexico, there stands
a Mayan pyramid, now known and named
'New Wonder of the World'. One mystery:
this temple, built for snake god, Kukulkan-
their...

At bottom of a glass of wine, finds truth
If he has a second, becomes uncouth,

If he has a third, he spits as he talks
Finally by 4th he wobbles as walks,

By the fifth can hardly stand, it’s his call
Just a drop left, let me finish it...

Hi you guys we're Smokey and Jinky
two cats we are Scottish born
one of us is grey, the other jet black
bright and bushy tailed in the morn

Now we lived in the lovely countryside
so free, staying out there on a farm
occupiers were farmworker and his wife
had only...

Tiranga (Tricolour)

First unfurled, was the Indian tricolor; 
on Everest, the world's highest peak.
All the three colours are deliberated 
to give some message and speak.

Dark saffron, white and Indian green,
the three colours of Indian national flag;
all in horizontal rectangular bars,
top to bottom, respectively placed.

In hell is called Malebolge a site
Completely made of ferrous color stones  
As almost all the rim around looks quite.

Of the malignant field the middle zones
Are the seat for a well much wide and deep,
Of which I will portray order it owns.

The remaining band...

Shot out like a cannon ball
As mother lay there in her bed
Twisted and contorted 
Push down hard the nurse had said
Audience at bottom end
Were quick to save the head
What a pair of lungs cried out
Went from purple blue to red
Cleaned up cord cut and swaddled
Poor...

He had no garments old or new 
that didn’t have a hole burnt through
from sparks when he lit up his pipe
and nearly set himself alight.
Smoke rituals in his old car
began when we set off not far
to visit Truro’s small town charms
on Wednesdays when from all...

I sought a soul akin to mine;
Like Zeus’s Athena
And Alexander’s Hephestian;  
In oracle and verse-
Transient of continents
From the warm breath of the New World 
to the Whispering sands of the old, 
so Ancient and archaic-
I consorted with shimmering stars and
Conversed with the deepest of...

Searching for water.
Lost spring at bottom of hill.
Anticipation....

justice 

What does this vastly misunderstood word mean to you? 

Too what ends? 

May we seek? 

Who(m) may guide us? 

Endless deliberation (spiss spiss spiss)

Debated and glorified by us all 

Beloved; instilled among (a) core integrity 

Coddled and looked upon/after with parental instinct 

Construed through...

Look at the top not at bottom,

Show your attitude not gratitude,

Live as per our custom not for system,

Run towards altitude not for substitute,

Live life king size not at zero size,

Be costly not fancy, 

Becomes ethical not critical....

This must be the princess, motionless in bed.—
She’s every bit as beautiful as they all said!—
But who could awaken her?  She looks quite dead!—
Fools rush in, where angels fear to tread.

This is the chamber where my dreams have led.—
She is the maiden I’ve longed...

BOAT RIDE BY GOAT

             A goat wore white satin coat,
             not calling due to sore- throat.
