Best Bag Poems

The Writer's Book Bag


     When I looked done,
     The bags were all around.
     Scattered on the floor,
     Obviously bought at a secondhand store.


     Writers came...

They ask me why I’m so happy
Asking me, if I just won a prize
I replied, well I reckon I did
Today is a wonderful surprise

When you have a past like mine
My today is always bright
There is no better feeling on earth
Than the joy of doing right

I...

Slipping into my silver-gray SUV
Nicknamed  " Sly Buster Cruiser”
I speed off down the rocky, off-highway road.
Twisting and reeling like my wired mind,
windows down, sunroof open,
(Annie Lennox groveling on the CD player),
reckless noon rays on my chin,
wind on ticklish, naked nape ...
Damn, who cares? I...

A BAG of SPIDERS

I sit alone on the bench
Conversing with each passing breeze
A lone squirrel stops to listen
Its attentive tail mesmerized
There is a web of sunshine about my head
As if it were a bag full of spiders
Rustling in the darkness
Of a web-less mind
Drifting away in...

Silently junked in a dusty corner,
You ended things up in unexpected border
Used me for year and said was so loved,
Carried your things and it was well packed

I was with you walking in school,
You said that I’m so nice coz’ I was so cool
We spent many...

Such pleasure it gives yet thrown away
believe me it will happen to us all one day,
the only way out sadly is not alive
the secret being when in; how to survive,
my place of abode the teapot nice and round
in it one needs to ready the journey...

She carried a bag full of dreams
Too afraid to lay it down
Too afraid to open and see
What lies hidden inside

She had lost it once before
Along with the rest of her nation
They had lived a nightmare
Of someone else’s stolen bag

In the eyes of this child refugee
Her...

The Punching Bag - Through the Eyes of a Child

Each day the pattern was the same,
for all Dad’s shortcomings, my Mom got the blame. 
WHACK! He cursed her for all his lost dreams…
WHACK! For missed opportunities, and failed schemes.
WHACK! Dad would hit his punching bag...

There it is blowing in the wind
having no control of its own
the wind which you cannot see
controls it as fully as it's blown

That little old brown paper bag
tells a picture of life so mundane
we live here getting blown all around
knocked about leaving one many a...

God's bag of sugar 
Burst all over the North
The sweet scent of the stars are pleasant to the eyes.

The limiltless strength of the belt of Orion
Three stars in one belt, 
That only God can bind
Bring wonder to the limited soul
Points to...

The clustered jewels of Pleades
Has...

All the people I've known 
Are holding hands with the empty promises they made 
So they are not alone 
When day breaks
And everyone keeps getting in the way
Saying this and this
Doing nothing nothing
Feeling better with the apathy
Someone never held me
And glued me back together
Unless I...

Paper Bag Head




                      Like musical notes my voice dissipates in the air

            ...

A Bag Of Dreams 

A wonderful life, 
In it was me, 
Above a cloud, 
Below the sea, 
Breathing slow 
With angels about
But I couldn't move
Nor could I shout. 

A stranger spoke, 
I knew him well, 
Of a distant light, 
A tolling bell,
And I said yes,
I...

A bag of Spiders

Today, a special delivery came,
Spiders in a bag, a new game.

Open with caution, it warns,
If you are careless, they will swarm.

This writer is a fighter
And will not be bit by a spider.

I follow the instructions to a tee,
Soon they are free and...

Disgusting could be a weaker word to express the scene,
Nauseating and stomach-churning the locus has been;
Sliding, slithering, groveling, crouching, crawling, creeping, 
Filling, feeling, and falling they were seeping and sleeping...!

Crab, lynx, silk, orb, ogre... varieties were within,
Specimen of many species, yet, resembled akin;
Weaving webs and...
