Best Bounce Poems

3/7/15


At times reality was a slap to the face
But it was something I had to embrace

It was hard to bounce back
While down path
But I didn't mind being an outcast

Now that
I understood how fast
This life was, as I watched the clouds pass

I did see
Divided teams
Which only...

To the wild overgrown garden
of my age crammed mind
I keep returning, thirsting for
the nectar of neglected nights,
when moonlight shone in vain,
searching for scattered words
among the shadows of silence
urging myself to catch a whiff 
of her fragrant sensual scent
where distant memories linger
dripping from dew laden boughs.

Clinging...

these petals unfold
like thoughts of mind
heavy as the weight they bear
this benumbed september day

in the crux beyond a seed's gather
viscid drops of crimson red
carried off by wings of time
now daffing in the cooler air

the hive of mind
through torturous stings of past
grounds me thickset
in honey coated...

Flitting and buzzing in a 
playful, poetic dance
a whirr of delicate wings 
crescendos and decrescendos
among a colorful carpet of
sumptuous, silky petals. 

Daring drones speed dizzily about
barely resting, constantly competing 
in a crazy chase for their sticky prize. 
Swooning with drunken lust
they dream of its sappy...

I meander the winding pebble path
where the bumbles bounce . . . 
holding back my sorrow and wrath,
for my beloved lay in eternal peace;
among bird songs that never cease.

A place of tears and grief alive with life,
oh, still I feel the pain- the knife;
where the...

Where bumbles bounce and witches fly
Faeries and jet streams in yesterday’s sky
I glance up and see an eagle so high
And I laugh at the juiciness of yesterday’s sky

They are hop skipping and flitting and fluttering too
The brownies and what-knots playing in diggery-doo.
My brain is on...

Moonlit Rays Bounce On Jasmine Scented Hair

She first came to me in the setting sun
her long searching soul wondrously agape
that June night dancing having youthful fun
in her arms, I begged for no escape.

Moonlit rays bounce on jasmine scented hair
as earth, time itself stood silently still
none...

A small tree sits among 
bouncing sparrows.
At this time of day
a groundhog may appear 
over the edge of something earthy.

The world arrives each day
blaming no one,
the sky wipes its face
ten or more times a day.

Sun up, sun down,
people come and go
appear or disappear.
Forever, is just...

squishy sodden miles
footfalls bounce
Spring waters my feet...

when someone you care for is filled with pain
life beats them again and again
just be there for them whenever they need
a good listener a true friend in deed

she is so kind so loving so sincere
my heart just aches for...

The goal of perfection for me is unattainable
But as I bumble along, my resolve is unshakeable
One day I'll announce
Got back my bounce
As I open my coffin and yell, “I'm still capable!”...

you fall down
get off the ground
have set back
put on the rack
be a strong wall
BOUNCE BACK
LIKE BALL...

I've seen the flight of black and gold,
their little fuzzy bodies wing
from lace cap blossoms where they fold
- one final fling for pollen kings.
One final harvest for the queen
and babes the season's end will lose
when Autumn's sting of frosty wean
the death of both, no fate...
