Best Carpet Poems

If people suffer in truth at our hands
with ill education and manners
Then we turn on them spitting words
casting stones of hate
blame them as a menace unto society
corrupted from childhood 
what chance do they have
Living below means 
defined by their status not born to privilege
Then punish...

The long years are harsh where the hot sun does burn
on the sand hills and plains when seasons won’t turn
where saltbush and samphire do somehow survive
and through these hot days there seems little alive.

But shade in the she-oaks can offer relief
for creatures surviving who still...

I like someone 
who speaks all my languages
not just their own 
I love someone 
who when I get 
my head sewn to the carpet 
doesn't say 
"Good luck with that "...

Twisting and turning on tides of laughter,
we rise and roll with wild abandon.
Through sparkling sheens of summer rain,
those gentle gems of glistening, gleaming drops,
we fly freely upon this flamingo feathered carpet.
Happily we ride along the heights of heaven,
Gazing deep into galaxies that glow far beyond.
Saturn's...

So you rode the magic carpet
And you sailed above the skies
You were taken by the beauty
You were blinded by the lies
As you soared up through the heavens
You could sense the angels sighs
They could see into your future
And they witnessed loves demise
Now you head towards disaster...

*spot poetry: Written in 15 minutes or less about any random subject.

Betwixt
Betwined
Beneath the tweed
lay the nasty pin
It pierced my toe without a need
My foot had lost again

Of all the places I should step
I landed on this pain
"Walkin' on pins and needles"
just doesn't mean the same

I...

Megan's alone, she's as quiet as a mouse, 
as she steals through the hallways of 
Maplethorpe House. Mysterious, moody 
and always morose, it's as if she is leprous 
     no one can get close.

She carries a parcel held tight to her...

No season can surpass Spring;
though Autumn's a close second.
Spring embodies warm winds melting the snow;
a bright golden sun shining in blue skies,
and an earthy fragrance greeting each breath.
Soon, icicles melt away,
disappearing drip by drip.
And wrapped in a blanket of warm, moist air;
delicate snowdrops are the...

If you believe in magic,
come and take my hand.
We will escape what's tragic,
and stop trying to understand.

Leaving all of the chaos behind.
Taking everything that has been denied.
Belief and hope in whatever we find.
Fantasy comes alive, a magic carpet ride.

Soaring through an endless sky.
Fluffy white clouds...

Come fly with me to heaven's door
On a magical carpet ride
We'll explore the mighty universe
Reach the mystical worlds on high

We can only guess what secrets lie
Beyond the heavenly spheres
Another world like ours you say?
We'll probably never know I fear

Travelling through time and outer space
Our minds...

We lie
           in each other’s arms
as
     I run my fingers
through my lover’s lush locks
             of hair
In plush leisure we...

                      on the lush carpet
I explored his lips and kissed him with lust
and he responded- to ravage my mouth

My friend Carpet John
Who I met through a girlfriend
Was a funny one.

He once told me of his days at school
When he wanted to go swimming
In the school swimming pool.,

He asked his Mom to get him something to wear
And when he saw what he bought him
He...

Above my head are stars that often blink
Light is like feathers on the black carpet
All of this delight shown for what we think
White specks of brilliance are from stars that sit
Humble light flows from the sky that emits
Its awe inspiring white glory that shows
Light is...
