Best Carving Poems

Wood Carving


He sits there, not quite motionless, for
even the comfortable must alter their
perception occasionally, frozen stare
upon a craggy visage, tiny fox-like predator
eyes peering into your soul.  “What are his
origins?” ask the bespectacled intellectuals.
“Who is he?” and “Why has he taken up
his unwelcome residence here?”...

I can not give away the Image engraved in my vision 
as I stood beside giants while hidden
mighty Titans, that is how I saw the trees that hid me
in their shadows like a villain 
thrown together by circumstance, 
I looked high into the sky, had...

 "...and 
the modist 
carving 
into the 
closet 
door 
read: 

"I do not place my life, nor my trust, 
my belief nor my faith within 
the 
resume 
of man, 
nor within 
his cause. 

For he 
proclaimed, 
is but a 
mere 
farthing 
of his 
merest 
self;...

The morning sun creeps slowly from underneath the grey sky
Dancing merrily with the angels on high
while the trees  listen  carefully to  the Gods will
And the birds converse harmoniously within 

I kept walking along the path watching the day as  it starts
I...

I love pumpkins sure
All those big and small are fine
The big ones are best
But the miniature ones
Can be lots of fun as well

I enjoy carving
Pumpkins into feared faces
Those creepy dark ones
Then I light them from inside
Perfect for Halloween night

She sat in silence, whittling wood,
Creating magic with her hands,
Here she couldn't be misunderstood,
Carving charming pieces on stands,
Fulfilling customer demands;

She carved serenely, working hard,
Chipping away those needless bits,
Making art out of something marred,
This showcased her finesse and wits,
She loved her work, wouldn’t call it quits;

With...

I went outside
Chisel in hand
Found a tree with the biggest trunk
Took a firm stand

Wood chips began to fly
A heart began to appear
I thought we'd be together
But a cross grain was near

A knot stopped me
The heart was complete
It will remain empty inside, like me
Until true love...

Starving and Carving

While other people in the world are starving,
In America,  on a turkey have been carving;
Then heard God say,
Have happy Holiday,
And soon Christmas season will be arriving.

he stood and people stand,
he walked and people walk,
he flew and people fly,
and on the inside wrappers
of candy bars
and on the paper napkins
from fast food restaurants
and from the scraps of 
brown bags and
old newspapers 
the notes 
came pouring in
notes from songs 
that people longed
to have...

Pummy the pumpkin refused to be sliced

Resisted against being sacrificed 

For modern Pagan delight

Did not fancy the limelight

Turned the knife against trivial zeitgeist

Why would one ask,
If the carving of a mask 
Is, indeed, a task 
When to simply this question ask 
Is itself a task?
Mask carvers in their job bask,
Their wine glasses beside a cask, 
Their African salad in their flask, 
Their own faces a beatific Mask…

Aren't grandchildren marvelous! Spoil them just rotten, 
then give them back, but they are never forgotten.

My maternal instincts are rekindled and who 
best to let them experience the joy I knew.

One of my preferred seasons is pumpkin season, 
tis for Halloween if for no other...

It's getting hot in here, 
   350 degrees,
      picked clean, and stuffed.

Keep the meats separated, turkey!
   Some like dark meat.
      Some like white meat.

Segregated even on Thanksgiving.

Yams or sweet potatoes,
