Best Bowl Over Poems
The Rose BowlThe sky is a gigantic bowl of pink turned upside down,
spilling soft rose petals that peeked out
from beneath snow white billowed clouds
till - fully blossomed - they burst forth.
Growing radiant at the edge of twilight,
they’ve scattered as rubescent streaks falling,
lush and luminescent, as we watch...

A Soup Bowl Full of ChristmasTwas the night before Christmas, when all thru the Soup bowl,
Not a poet was writing, not even the musing mole.
All their pens were hung by the chimney with bubble gum,
Hoping Winged Warrior would lose and let them win some.
The poetesses were nestled snuggled in their...

If you want to moderate this place, pick up the pace
From the mouth down to the @$$
Your so called kind has no class,
Fed by these political rejects, never elected for what was!
No matter,
They wipe their assets clean with...

Crystal BowlCrystal Bowl
A gold fish swimming round and round.
His world of glass is all surround.
Round and round, day and night
every round, reunite.
Day after day, night after night,
Everywhere he looked, always the same sight.
Outside of his bowl, there was...

Super Bowl DayThey're playing in the bowl tomorrow
and we are so very proud.
We Seahawk fans are loyal
and also very loud.
We'll be settled by our TV sets
before the game begins.
We'll stay for the fifth quarter
no matter which side wins.
I'm thinking of my men folks
who had cheered them through...

The Dust BowlThe plains soil had turned dry
No rains made the crops die
Red dust was everywhere
That just made the land bare
The harm they did not see
Dry farm way was the key
How to farm they knew not
Winds blew away the lot.
Written 1st...

Oh, Toilet BowlOh, toilet bowl
Did you hear me in the hall
Talking to that bastard wall
Asking who moved the door
Oh, toilet bowl
Don’t ever have gin and tonic
Cause inebriation is quite ironic
When lost in your own home
Oh, toilet bowl
So accessible and cool
Forgive my 90 proof drool
Irony is about...

You Fill My BowlMy dearest love who makes me whole
Fills drafty places in my soul
Where grief and sorrow left a hole
Your loving ladle fills my bowl
Each loving touch removes a trace
of painful scars that mark a place
where hateful love seared every space
Sad, broken life and battered face
Your love...

A Bowl of Poetry SoupPassed down through generations I hold a gift of soup poetry,
it doesn’t matter if it’s hot or cold, as long as it comes in rhyme,
free verse is also tasty when I add a good analogy,
and sometimes I add a little bit of limerick and thyme....

Love In a BowlI missed the meals mama used to cook
Her recipes were not in the cookery book
Mama was just more of a kitchen queen
She's the best cook we have ever seen
Mama's Fufu with Chicken soup was my best
The manner she cooked it...

A Bowl of Soul
In our soul is the light of our life, our inner being,
Our connection with Christ is through our soul,
It’s born within a baby, it's there til after life's end
It is an intangible part of us that is to be nurtured.
It drives us to divine heights...

A Bounty From Universe and Its Golden BowlA Bounty From Universe And Its Golden Bowl
Poets dream but reality wakes deep sorrows
world plots and schemes, as future holds our tomorrows
walking oft blinded to treachery and deceit,
setup and shocked, at world's wicked evil we meet,
many a pawn, in a world savage and quite mad
writing...

Dust BowlMy eyes look upward to the dark sky
So many clouds yet the ground is dry
All around me nothing but the dust
We need rain badly it is a must
Wind is blowing clouds look alive
Thunder and lightning will soon arrive
A gap in the clouds a shaft of...

Super Bowl DayPatriots and Seahawks, today head to head
Will wear the helmets; tooth and nail fight the day
University of Phoenix stadium, the beautiful Grand Canyon state
Sweat and blood will spill on cactus bed.
Hard training, pain, dedication and rivalry
Let it end today in guts, honor and glory.
