Best Bucket Poems

I never really made a bucket list,
but I guess I kind of did it when I had
one thing I wished for – which was to be kissed.
That one got kicked off by a gorgeous lad!
I also wished the world I’d get to see,
for I was...

Oh, take me to the bucket in the sky,
where smells of fast food cooking tantalize -
a poultry paradise where no birds fly,
but come instead with biscuits, slaw, or fries . . .
where mashed potatoes may not be homemade,
but people seem to like them anyway.
They scarf...

To see earth's face through angels’ eyes
Afloat upon cotton clouds 'neath the skies
And hear noth but the whistling soft winds
Which encircle me like feathered wings

Too long these feet of lead have held to ground
On stone where porous clay abound
While spirit yearns to ascend the heights
My...

The day I turned the big 5 0
My friends all said to me
You got to make a Bucket List 
Of things to do and see

So, I sat there on my cozy couch
With pen and pad in hand
And wrote a hundred things I'm sure
No one would...

From a list made long ago
I’ve kicked my bucket many times
Yet, I’m still alive

Night’s impetuous canvas
Memories painted in broad strokes
Bold images color my dreams

First a brisk zip line
Snow flurries gathering on my nose
New Hampshire’s White Mountains
Majestic, tranquil setting

Gliding in a sail plane over Tallahassee
No engine;...

A seed was kept, by a pretty woman, in her pocket
As she goes, up and down the stairs, with a bucket

For nine long months, she has it, inside her pocket
Till she finally lost her strength to carry the bucket

When the seed popped up, from her...

Kick The Bucket 

Olive juice.............

I have no friends to tell,
I'm a vulture in the bucket,
A bucket of KFC all for me.
Life well lived!
Until I wrote down my bucket list.

Some people suffer a lot and some people suffer hardly at all
Some appreciate what they got some wanting what they saw
Why then the difference, and how fair could that possibly be
The answer being too immense for us to even be able to see

Some will never...

The red bucket in my bathroom 
suddenly one day broke. 
Day by day it deteriorated 
till it was revoked. 
I needed some plastic 
to melt for some work; 
the red bucket was chosen 
being already shirked. 
Little by little, in few days, 
the red bucket...

Sadly enough 
I'm running out of time
I remind myself 
it is love that I can't find
And this knowledge 
That I bear 
Means nothing if I cannot share 
And this pain I must endure
Will be in vain forever more 
And destiny which was never mine 
Is...

.          BUCKET  LIST 
 
Early dawn I find myself, 
wondering about my health. 
 
Journey, through the morning mist, 
overwhelmed about the reason I exist. 
 
Without thinking of my past, 
worried my future will...

I lost my old bucket so sadly,
And felt oh so terribly badly;
Then lo and behold
A pot full of gold!
I'd lose me another and gladly....

I've made my final bucket list
A wish to return such a beautiful gift

The gift to return a life for a life
For the one who supplied me, their blood sacrifice

Surgery required blood to keep me alive
Donated by a stranger so I could survive

I hope the check...

I am scrubbing the floor at 3 am 
with every swipe 
I think your name
once held so dear

The floor now shiny and clean
muck and mire all washed away
dawns pale light  
contrasts what swirls in the
mop bucket of my mind...

dirty thoughts 
snarling biting
clinking tapping
cluttered stairs
tripping...

A short note, my husband’s ice machine is 
His baby, and to have it broken down just 
Before Christmas dear everyone, was a
Catastrophe.

THERE’S A HOLE

My ice machine is broken dear Jenny
Dear Jenny, my ice machine is broken
Dear Jenny, so sad!

Well fix it dear Elias, dear...
