Best Burying Poems

THE BURYING OF THE  VIRGIN 
The gloom of death gone bad so near that night,
as circumstance played out a mournful tune,
and echoed through my brain, as if it might,
give credence to the shadows of full moon;
and buried I my virgin, thin and bare,
she bathed...

"Bloody Valentines for Burying White" 

Sometimes delightful
sometimes cyanide
that one 
speaks her mind 
burying white 
6ft deep 
in the slick
hot pink 
coils of her mind
scales for weighing
the delightful slights
of rose burning
war-torn 
bloody valentines

Of all the things I do resent,
Time takes most precedence;
For He's a Thief- the giver of Grief,
And a Lover of the Present...

Today he plots to plague my thoughts,
And wrought His plans for Pain!
Ideals are fraught, my Mind hath caught-
His buried hatchet in my Brain...

Friends, neighbors, countrymen,
I come to bury Caesar not to praise him. 
Of course he was no famous emperor, 
although he was proud and tough enough 
to think he was the king of our alley. 

Poor Caesar, a life cut short 
by some irresponsible driver 
squashed...

Written in the glacier, will soon be obliterated --
The ice-caps are melting. 
We are the 'creepy crawler' huddling for space --we got it,
just to ruin our stay.

Written in the glacier -- a human tale
is just as vulnerable as you and me. 

Green we desire; brown...

Of desert sands
And arid lands
Of highest mountains
Proudly stands
Of open plains
Of fertile soil
Where no man has touched
His hand to spoil

Of forests vast
And verdant gloss
Of river snakes
And silver dross
Africa stands huge and humble
In poverty it seems to drunkenly stumble

Of violence powerfully fed
Its bloody rivers washes red
Washing away...

Nobody ever forgets where he buried the hatchet. ~ Kin Hubbard 

Riley was a control freak
barking orders at his wife
who'd scurry like a timid mouse
knowing if she didn't conform
a barrage of blows would rain down on her body

Of course, he made certain
not to mar her...

Burying One’s Head in the Sand

By Elton Camp

An ostrich doesn’t really bury his head in the sand
But, to some humans, that idea sounds really grand

There is no need for me to lose weight
The problems of obesity won’t be my fate

For retirement I won’t bother to...

You don't know how this feels,
  the pain compacting my chest,
the pressure bearing down,
  laying my heart to rest.
Ashes and dust assail me,
  filling my aching throat,
gasping and flailing, a drowning man
  unable to keep afloat.
I feel I'm in a grave

The rose withers where you lie
Despite the watering tears I cry

I placed it there upon the place
You lay in peace and eternal grace

Embracing the piece of smooth cool stone
I placed a kiss there for you alone

The love I feel I can not hide
I long to...

Take away the memories burning within my heart.
Rid me of grief I've felt since we were torn apart.

Offer me a brew of magical potion so I can forget
This wretched anguish born from things that I regret.

Songs of sorrow stumble me; I can't listen any more
Sedate...

We all saw him seize his mum’s shoulder
And smile but in his heart a boulder
I knew you didn’t catch the second;
I happen to have a mind fecund.

What my eyes snatched was a masquerade:
A face vandal might want for a raid
But this he’s not acting on...

Burying The Hatchet
©Ben Burton 4/7/2018

When burying the hatchet, make it deep
Thus none who travels by might ever see
That designee of senseless, squandered time
Wherein the guilt lies not in any crime
Save arrogance or stubborness gone wild
Which should have been abandoned as a child
The path that leads...

The Ass scolds the Crab 
that dug a large hole nearby,
worried that his reputation 
would be ruined thereby.


For when folks see that dark 
hollow there in the ground
with just the ass nearby 
and no one else around,


they'll rib each other with 
such a question so...

Common Wisdom is not really either. For example ..
1. Let the past bury the past

Can not be done that way.
Use funeral parlors, or celebrate a dead person's with memorial

When Jesus said similar words, "it was to rebuke a procrastinator, "Let the dead bury the dead."...
