Best Bottoms Poems

I just hit rock bottom I fear
The landing sure tore up my rear
A BADLY bruised butt
But hey, ya know what?
I'm starting to LIKE it down here...

I sit here and i wonder , why i have my soul in my lap and this pen in my hand, i've earn my stripes they said, and the blood is not mine to keep, but as the rounds tumble to the ground i lose...

At the Bottom's dropped out.

I'll write to you 
the end of the story.
The only one i know.
Sundown on a field of dandelions.
No step closer to rapture,
I smiled with no hurry 
when i found myself here,
at the bottom's dropped out.      ...

Computer time shouldn't ever exceed play time
This technical age has caused play time to decline
It's a a serious problem
Kids sitting on their bottoms
Time for a serious attempt at a major realign...

1.  Inevitability

The rain will come
and be rude.
The wind blow away
all quietude.
Erase it?

Debase it?
You have no power
and when it's
your hour, you'll 
go, you know.

2. Drowning 

My foot tapping time, O sweet,
he cannot know he echoes mine.
He's not in this world, but I am.
Take me there!...

Bottoms Up


Heavy handed was the pour
convex cap to rim of glass
chasers iced and doubled back
dry toast to soothe an empty flask.

Innkeepers have their history
in treating drunkards mystery
disguising in replete display
the demon haunts their every day.

When we're young'uns, our hourglass is full
Surrounded by fillies, we charge ahead like a bull
With the passage of time
The sands realign
Our bottoms get heavy and we run out of fuel...

Nothing grows naturally
or resiliently,
and certainly not perfectly,
from the top down
or from the outside in

Including pyramids
and sustainable nutrition economies
and healthy
organic
democratic co-passion systems.

Some win/lose things
that do grow virally
from outside in
and/or over-powering
top down:

autocracy
cancer
kleptocracy
pyramid schemes
negative pathology
eco-political colonies
capital expansionism
invasive species
StraightMale privilege
anthrosupremacy
toxicity
pollution
trauma.

I once spoke at a condominium meeting
about cooperative democratic values

Way down south in the land of cotton
Love and friendships are not forgotten
They thrive in full bloom
Under the big yellow moon
Some backwoods girls have really big bottoms

They say in life you should start at the bottom and work your way up
Butt your bottoms in the middle, I’m betwixt, in between
Well that’s a bit of a bummer which way do I turn
My only saving grace is your bottom is so gorgeous
So I’m...

In the 60's, dungarees
(Not jeans, if you recall)
Were worn with big wide flaring bells 
And floor-length they would fall.

My favorite pair were cut real low,
Hip-hugging and skin-tight.
A fringy belt of suede made sure
My clothes looked out-of-sight.

The bottoms grazed the ground and thus
Would rip and slightly...

Beached the sun-bleached bottoms
of small boats color the sand scape,
safely turned bottoms-up
far from the high tide’s line.
They lay in wait beneath the teardrop rain,
huddled from the bay’s breath, they hide.
It is only the lap of languid wave that bides.

I have always wanted to see the world 
From the bottom up
So when I die 
don't cry
Throw my ashes down the toilet
And flush with vigor
while shaking the handle
here is  looking up at you...

Butterfly Rainbow Bottoms is my neighbor’s new dog.
Can you guess the ages of their three children?
If you said four, six and eight, you are right.

Butterfly Rainbow Bottoms' name has been adjusted to BRB
Can you guess why?
If you guessed daddy embarrassment, you are right....
