Best Billboard Poems

Speedy Bill was often apprehended
For driving faster than recommended.
He paid officers no heed
Even increased his speed.
Now he’s on a wall decidedly distended....

DIGRESSIONS ON BILLBOARD HAIKU

Sick of the commute?

	Early morning pavement gray as masticated 
	breakfast sprinkled with broken glass.

Brakelights driving you crazy?

	Blinking red Morse with its Monday 
	bad news: Accident Ahead.

Take the train and dream.

	And off beyond the shoulder, fields of grasses 
	growing free, whatever the mind...

So many billboards placed around you
and the trailer played in your head time and time again.
But denial disguised himself as belief
while it stood as your counselor 
to think a Bull will someday become a Lion.

No one has hit perfection
and no one ever will do so
but...

A transparent parrot makes a very big noise when seed arrives to visit. Mr and Mrs seed have fifteen children, eleven thousand grandchildren and one great grandchild. It is interesting to note bar levels for bar levels are neither bare back riders, billionaires, biscuit barrels...

I have always thought if I stayed in my lane
If I angered no one
If I used a soft voice
If I hid the real me
I would not be maimed or murdered.
Be unassuming, my mind said.
Above all else, do not show the real you.

Then I saw a...

Jazz on a billboard,
a flash of notes,
Urgent beats, syncopation, improvisation,
and impromptu solos but why jazz on a billboard?
What’s the hap’s on that?
Man, what is the impact of the word jazz on a billboard anyway?
Syncopation is alive,
solos breaking free,
and a temporary show,
but is jazz here to...

Picture a man's hooha on a billboard downtown
Ladies would be late, spill coffee on their gowns
With their mouths all agape
Their makeup in bad shape
Those ad boys sure know how to clown around...

Immeasurable,
unlabeled, word-
less by 
studded 
tears
and 
voice,


APHONIC.

Only death by 
tenderness 
swoops down
as eternity
and her hands,
soft as fire;
as time

the flesh;
a billboard
the soul
neon lights.

Stuff I don’t deserve
As I swerve through this life
A reflection in time
Jesus is the One 
Who takes me to my prime

My life has been a billboard of mercy
God the Father flows and 
Shows the love filtering from His Heart
Stuff I don’t deserve but
He allows me...

Every human being a is bill board
On each on the roadside of life
Devils advertise vices attractively
Angels teach virtues with humility
Skeptics deny everything outright
God records responses quietly...

A highway billboard reads:
“If you died today
would you be ready for hell?”

My parents die,
I feel a distant sorrow
that grows tighter
like a vine in my dreams.

My dog dies, I shed real tears;
willow-sap pools in my gut.

Five thousand souls perish
somewhere far away -
nothing.

I suspect heaven is a...

Just before the sun rises
  and just after it sets
The sky's majesty bursts forth
  Rapture's carnival in jets

of brilliant bold colors
  so rich and so deep
clinging to Heaven's billboard
  ere they give way to Time's sweep...
