Best Bouncing Poems

viscera wound tighter
   than the tightest rubber ball
   never mind bouncing off the walls
   guts like a pinball machine
   an arcade between the ears
   with tilt alarms screaming

She dresses the land down
in a virginal bridal gown 
a masterfully cut and sewn chenille 
shines brightly with a fine crystal appeal

Her assistants work quite diligently
to add special touches and then flee
they decorated the mountain peaks 
using all their white glitter techniques 

beat beat beat beat

pause 

one small step to the...

Bouncing up with gratitude
my heart leaps midst jubilant beat
rising to praise God* for His blessings
overtaking me this New Year.

Propelled by the Holy Ghost
my faith strides steadfastly
ascending along trust’s push
to triumph midst obstacles.

Advancing the Saviour’s kingdom
my spirit promotes righteousness
surmounting hatred with His forgiveness
gripped by love’s transforming...

Bouncing Square Balloons

Bouncing square balloons
Rectangular falls spools bounce
Play catch you and I

A new day, a new exercise, a new function. Yesterday they said I resemble a bouncing ball, today I am, skimming and skipping. All round and affectionately kickable.

Somehow I have always known I am one. After all one doesn't become a ball overnight. It's a...

Yes, I'm bouncing back from a state of sadness and gloom.

I can't allow this sad state of mind to linger and loom.

No one, especially a kid like me, should be made to feel this way.

I'm very unhappy because I am bullied almost every day.

I've decided...

I'll be a poet.
Words will flow from heart to pad.
I'll write through times good
And, with God's hand, through times bad.
I'll have a ball...I know it!

Sex was why I left the homely coop,
lack of it to tell the truth.

And when I got into my flat, with every
girl I hung my hat.

Thank you mam and wham bam bam,
at last my life, was full of jam.

To wake up with a damsel’s cheer,...

Bouncing on my grandma's knee.
A pirate on a boat at sea.
A monkey swinging from a tree.
Laughing with grandma and me.

(Chorus)
Up and down
Round and round
Riding on a
Merry go round

Bouncing on my grandma's knee.
Buzzing like a busy bee.
Sweeter than the sweetest pea.
Grandpa's waiting next for me.

(chorus)
Up and...

The bouncing water!
Falling from the height where, 
Stream meets river....

At times I, like a butterfly,
May flit from bloom to bloom,
Or with my whimsy set sky-high
To outer space may zoom.
And yet, when all’s been said and done,
I follow what my fate has spun—
For some may strive and ne’er succeed,
While others simply do the deed.

A Muse...

Hallelujah I'm a-shouting, listen up you all
Government's sending me money, even though small
A major blunder
What happened I wonder
Not complaining, just can't stop bouncing off the wall...

Thundering paws pound the floors;
back flips off the walls, resounding.

Claws clicking floors as feline ricochets, 
down the hallway and back.

A cat with cabin fever,
after a long winter snooze....

Bouncing back, I’m
 brought from 
  boastfulness’ 
   break-down…
    ...braced up
     by God, the life-Builder
      blessed with His bounty,
       bidden to

The voice inside me writes, 
Every dawn with no reason nor cause,
Just wandering those hands down the page painted white, 
Singing the chorus of words, with no pause.

Every morning with no reason nor cause, 
When inspiration weaves like a thread into my brain, 
Singing the...
