Best Basket Poems

I see my Angel in a basket
watching over Baby Jesus

no one saw my Christmas Basket
filled with peace, love and joy,
soft and sweet...

somewhere out there
in endless time
she sees my
Angel
in
a
basket,

         and

        ...

A waste paper basket, a trash can, a bin
Whatever you call it, some things won’t stay in
The things that you write
Long into the night
May make, when discarded… one hell of a din

*

Don’t write by moonlight at midnight
Do not trash your tale late at night
For powers...

Years ago, I bought a basket,
Plain, unappealing –
Weave already unraveled,
I only paid one dollar –

I set the basket on the shelf,
Separated, secluded –
And there it stood,
Unbefitting the decor –

I filled that basket,
With defeated dreams –
My lonely heart,
My deserted thoughts –

I loaded that basket,
With yearning love...

When asked what in my basket I would take
of any kind of fruit; well, here’s the truth.
I much prefer my fruit in pie or cake,
or chocolate covered for my sweety tooth.

No apples, peaches, pears or plums for me.
I find bananas boring. Am I sick?
Of all...

A tisket, tasket, a pretty May basket
Made to hang on a very special door
Filled with flowers from the field
For a neighbor that we all adore

A tradition when I was just a girl
Fun way to bring a bit of cheer
The glories of  the 1st of...

Scores of struggling lives
Searching green fields
Implanted splendid ideas

Partial distortions imposed
Multiple thoughts ahead
Others mislead and inspired

Savor a basket full of fruits
Wisdom earned with like minds
Anyone's greatest dream....

the quiet of the spring day was broken
by the noise and shouts in the fields
belching smoke the great iron beast 
dropping its sharp blades into the soil
took large bites into the soft belly of the earth

warm and moist the soil yielded to the blades
as the...

Bathing in the afterglow of sunset,
nature’s inflorescence meadows charm tread.
Sprays of flowers for my woven basket.

Gleam before the blooms fade and all forget.
Lavender, Daffodil, Take Me Instead!
Bathing in the afterglow of sunset.

Balm Jasmine, Hyacinth, Granny’s Bonnet,
slightest glow of early morning love shed.
Sprays of flowers for...

To excel at the game basketball
It helps if you are incredibly tall
Two points you can get
By dropping the ball in the net
Without making much effort at all...

E arly Easter morning, Amy Sue
A woke to find a basket by her door.
S he looked at it, then knew just what to do -
T o empty out its contents on the floor:
E ggs hard boiled, dyed, and sweet ones too,
R abbits made of chocolate,...

Up in the trees,
Cold from this winter night,
Bronze leaves dangling 

Along the wet hedges
A train passes,
And doesn't say much.

Sweet hot sun gently
Placed on the surface of my
Face- easy to smile.

The roar of jet 
engines- tilting onto a
Set destination

For two nights a
Constant beeping-
Location unknown

Foggy morning-
Down the...

The maiden was carrying a basket
it was full of sweet flowers for market
once she got there she places a blanket
then lays the bunches around a casket

A toff came along and got one for Ascot
he doffed his hat showing a crew cut
the fabric of his trousers...

Hillary referred to half of the voters as a “basket of deplorables,”
Grossly generalizing Trump’s supporters as not so adorable.
She is cutting off her nose to spite her face,
There are many who are undecided in this political race.

That is such a low opinion of the American...

Under a thatch of welded grasses
Beneath the sentry trees and singing birds
A seven decade muse sits on a naked earth
Drunk by the tunes of choir birds
Creativity invades her weary veins
As she strokes the grassy strips
Expertise emits from her ridged visage
Her keen eyes chant the incantation...
