Best Bulbs Poems

Lovely blanket on
The ground, snowflake comforter
Keeps my flower bulbs.
Snugly and warm as they sleep;
In winter repose so deep.

Springs thaw will wake them;
Hungry, they’ll eat and drink their,
Fill when they arise.
Tulips and irises grow
Tall and strong with nourishment.

A hiding place where, 
Newborn bunnies safely sleep,
Among my...

Set some goals
Set out bulbs
Bulbs planted in garden
Bulbs planted in beds
Beds filled with blooms
Beds are warm
Warm days bring flowers
Warm beds rest
Rest equals health
Rest for weary
Weary souls faint
Weary hearts mourn
Mourn love lost
Mourn departed
Departed is gloom
Departed is pressure
Pressure creates diamonds
Pressure can explode
Explode from anger
Explode from dynamite
Dynamite dangerous
Dynamite...

We talk in a world where no one will hear. 
Made so deaf by what we all feel and fear. 
We're dark smoking, popped bulbs at night.
Burned out, shattered, spreading no light.

Now wars are waged in once peaceful streets.
and law enforcers afraid to walk their...

Bulbs in cool spring burst
Open fields of lemon stars ...
Apes the skies above...

Just
Over the
Next hill
Quietly resting
Underneath the
Icy ground
Lay the jonquils.

Bulbs 
Unscathed by
Long winter days
Bearing the promise of 
Spring....

Now you can buy them in sizes
There's clear and colored ones to,
Short, skinny, long and spiral
Just to mention a few.

In lamps and yard lights
Used in every house to see,
Some only last a few months
While some come with a lifetime guarentee.

The world would become darken
Without a...

It’s autumn so I’ll plant my bulbs and then water the plot
My wife said last years didn’t grow, are these a different lot
She said they’ll brighten up the spring, how many have you got
I said there’s forty twenty-fives and ten are fifty watt...

I've done my part
all the players laid to rest,
three wise men gazing at a star
a gentle beast braying
the lamb with the chipped leg
a family of three still smiling
though they lost a bit more hay. 
    
Miracle messiah dumped to the back of...

“Deep, deep, deep. Listen and hear our faint gait.
Sanitation, fluorescent lights, and a PC pillow for smother.
Agree! Agree! Atone! Suck it in and suff-o-cate.
White-ness. Black. Ev’ry creed, faith, and color. Listen to Nanny State and call her your mother.”

A wilting flower and grass that’s mowed

Blue Light Bulbs and a Bottle of Bleach and The Incandescent Must Win 
(part 1)

A wilting flower and a blade of grass
No presumptions of the way things ought to be
Feeding plenty on light through a tinted glass
Patiently waiting and resting in what...

growing slowly for springtime;
a daffodil blooms....

Pungent bulbs spout sourness:

Out of the 20 bulbs in the ceiling, one never turns on.
Out of 2,000 tiles on the floor, one always squeaks.
Out of 2 million people, it had to be me.

How do I crumple my own bones?
How do I put myself in a Pandora's box?

What must...

newborn bulbs from sprouts
unfurl into green leaflets
a robin twitters

tulip buds will stretch
to greet the morning sunlight
colors of rebirth
