Best Carrier Poems

Dream Carrier 

Bittersweet, your memory
Calling, echoing in my being
Recollections of your laughter
In solace, I remember the rapture

Twas' happiness, although so brief
Enchanting moments of belief
Embraced reunion between two worlds
The winds of time unfurled

In my melancholy morning sunrise
I question Creator why one must die
For if I could have remained asleep
With my dreams I could then keep

Awakened, the...

Diego Rivera’s Flower Carrier

My load to carry is backbreaking,
But this I must do to feed my family.
Down on all fours on the ground, I pray
For fairness in barter and my safe return home
From this capitalist enterprise I am engaging in.

My basket is laden to overflowing the brim
With the most beautiful flowers in all the land.
My...

eap- One navy pilot  sweating out the flag,
as the orange ignites, searing metals shine,
and the jolt aloft, with an fermine whine,
then the falcons queue, then plunge in line,
to the scarlet blooms I can claim as mine....

Lost
in a mesmerising blue and emerald haze I grasp at oyster clad sea waves,
a clueless swimmer‘s quest for shifting sand dune castles my mirage speckled eye has
found  


Lost is first line word 
Found is fourth line word
Lines 2 and 3 have 20 syllables each.

A cat attempting a headstand is akin to a gridlocked caterpillar visiting an air show of duck aero gliders. Aero gliders are neither glimpsing nor glimmering but glimmering could often be mistaken for a cider walking mildew headed bullock whose field antics were superfluous in the season of dun dun dun. But a dun dun...

Young man, just try a glass of sangria,
Now, we all can see you are angrier.
Audience is not a ‘a must’ for Town Criers;
Their job can now be discharged by flyers...

One cries too long and one lips get drier,
More pacing about the legs look sorrier.
In some circles you become a pariah,
For being of all things Hollow...

Patterned in love, your life it shines
Sharing so freely, “what’s yours, is mine,”
You hold nothing back from the Father of lights
Even when walking thru darkest of nights
Your smile lights our lives, like the light of the day
as you live to love and take time to pray
Your tapestry of colors, so beautiful to behold
In bright jeweled...

Whisperer of the ancient tales,
Breath of the Earth that gales.
Daylight's gentle breeze,
And dark night's howling trees.

Bearer of seeds and carrier of scents,
Sculptor of dunes and herald of storms.
Invisible traveller and caressing lover,
Tender murmurer and refreshing cooler.

The wind, an unseen wanderer,
A blind, playful squanderer.
It sweeps the Earth with gentle fingers,
In every nook, its demeanor lingers....

more the merrier
hope are not a carrier

Give me air I'm suffocating, 

Show me how to stop pretending, 

Hold me high do not let me go, 

Cut the ropes that lift me high and bind me, 

Open up the closet where you forever hide me, 

See the bone collection trail that slowly follow behind you, 

Haunting you while you are sleeping, 

Underneath...

CARRIER

In a world where the woman already goes through a lot
I can't imagine what it's like for all carriers
Especially when they don't know that they are
And only get to know after they welcome a child into this world

Cause it marks a moment of learning
Learning to be a mum,
and also to take care of the child...

He walks at dusk,
a lantern swinging from his hand,
light blooming in quiet pulses—
a heartbeat made of fire.

The path behind him forgets his steps,
but ahead, shadows scatter
like secrets too afraid of being known.

“Where do you go?” they ask.
“To the end of the night,” he says.
“Beyond the last fear,
beyond the hush of doubt.”

But the night is long,
and...

Well,
no matter how hard it seems,
still have dreams.
Until you rise to dizzying heights 
don't lose your sights.
So,
stay focused,
work hard,
Plan,
whether its business, school or career
you must realize 
you are a carrier of greatness.

You are more than a conqueror.
The obstacles you overcame while growing should encourage you.
From child birth you have stamina.

So what are you waiting for?...

pumpkin carrier is on his way
he is evil and crafty in many a way
we were scared before we saw his eyes
but he was a her, a big surprise

do not be fooled, the well-warner said.
pumpkin carrier is not right in her head
she will spin your feelings and ideas too
giving you new ones from windows and flue

Thomas Hobson (1544 –1631)
in 19th century late
a Cambridge ostler and postal carrier
set his priorities straight
he owned a livery stable
of 40 Hackney horses or more
plus boots bridles and whips
and put the horse the cart before
after the animal left the barn
by bolting fast the door
and as precautionary balm
the nag nearest the stable gate
the worn-out equine storm to...
