Best Baskets Poems

We have each become Gods basket, no two baskets just alike…no not a one. For each one was woven not to be liken to another, but each charged with a calling to collect assorted pieces of fruit to bring unto him. No not even one...

The Wicker baskets

Rooster crackled, fresh new day!
Sun arose planting gentle kiss
on the Earth's fore-head....
A cottage in the woods stood elegant
Lilted the cool breeze outside so pleasant!
Woke her child this mother, filled with zest
A long embroidered green skirt ,
made of flax this mother had draped...
Adorned her...

With empty baskets
in both hands
she treads the cobbles
of her broken land.

Her home once
pale washed blue
a reflection of early
morning dew
where now a bomb
stained hue.

She's walking solemn corridors
still empty baskets in her hand
she looks for the reason
but she can't understand.

The flowers grew in the garden
the mid day...

The eggs put in one basket old,
Broken of unwise then men told,
Eggs put in many baskets new sold,
Some baskets full of half boiled,
Some baskets full of hard boiled,
Some baskets full of no boiled,
Some baskets no eggs avail!...

When the old ancient bridge kisses the star surround the orbital energies smile and slip into a pleasant pattern. Its marvellous to encounter a rising formation of wingspan on a sunny day yet sunken are the earwigs whose reign is due to cease. So clap...

Aunt Martha had a knack for doing a lot with a little.
I spent a day watching her purchase a plethora of baskets.
She bought an assortment of sizes, colors, and shapes. 
What in the world was she thinking? She already had enough stuff.
A week later I...

Ladies and gents 
Step right up
Have I got a deal for you
Only $2  get yours quick

Flown in fresh this morning
Your very own basket of 
The sweetest baby kisses
And giggles you can’t resist

Grab your basket
Before they’re all gone

Slim elegance, pencil-sharp,
dark business skirt,
clean contrasts
where the black cuts
a clear white neckline.

Stretchy pants,
wide at the beam,
rumpled fore and rear,
a clear predilection
for sweats.

The two women
enter by the same door,
both will leave
by the same door,
never noting each other.

The fuzzy store-greeter,
stacks baskets,
none of which are different
until filled with...

Once ago,all natural elements were friends:
Sharing together time and lovely trends:
Plastics,pails,rivers,oceans and fruit.
Yams,pumpkins,were all bound by truth.

But one day...

Their sprouted an impromptu meeting,
Whose urgency hit if not all but few patience:
Barging into their privacy,
Denying them of their freedom.
And all agreed to go:
Even to the hall...

Baskets of Faith
and Hopeful Fishermen 

Sometimes there is not enough, 
to share everything we have. 
But there is always enough, 
to share all of what we do have, 
every time. 

God will take care of the shortages, 
and use the abundance, 
that there will be…

BASKETS OF SAND AND CORAL
	
	Here on my roof on Eastern pillows spread
	I watch the “slaves” unload the dhows-
	Strong black men with bulging biceps,
	Carrying baskets of sand and coral on their heads.

	In monotonous repetition they trudge,
	From ship to sea wall, from wall to shore,
	Each a vital...
