Best Center Out Poems
Out In the Desert Late At NightOut in the desert, late at night
The stars and moon are shining bright
The coyotes sing,
While crickets keep beat
Cool night's joy, replaces heat
The owl sets out on nightly quest
"Who, whoo's my meal?"
ever his jest
The man in the moon
witnessed escapes
Wild dashes
for thorn bush...

Trump and the Beaver - For JanOut in the woods Trump took a nap
Under an oak dripping of sap
pants to his knees
what a big sleaze
Fresh beaver still caught in his trap
*I do not endorse this message and no actual
beavers were hurt in this poem...

Soaking You InOut back on that old tire swing
drifting to and fro in the springtime dusk
reliving childhood memories
she swings and smiles
free as the red breasted robin
singing love songs as she soars
from limb to limb
in the that mighty oak tree
her hair blows silently side to side
dangling...

Ice Cream, You Scream, We All Scream For Ice CreamOut in the sun
ice cream runs down
someone’s sad face
Fun will begin
once again, when
the chin is clean,
A few more dimes
just in time, will
buy nine more cones!
Ice cream for all
as we sprawl, in
the shawl of shade

Light Into DarknessOut of nowhere; the lights shattered
Within a moment; the darkness has filled,
My heart was no more; in a mood of lightness
My life has suddenly; twisted and disappeared.
It was like an abandon thunderstorm
Came into my life and destroyed my destiny,
I found myself in an isolated nightmare
Where...

Christmas Down UnderNow Christmas in July seems crazy - I’m sure I hear you say
That has got to be plain silly - but this is the Aussie way
Christmas is in December you insist it’s a well-known fact
But in this land way ‘Down Under’ our seasons are ‘out...

By the Grace of GodOn the train that I rode today,
into town I was on my way.
You never know what you will see,
out the window were clouds of gray.
An old man came on with one knee,
he hobbled over ~ sat by me.
By God's...

On Very Wet Days I Feel So MiserableOut walking, and I need a leak
A toilet I urgently seek
There’s now’t but a bush
Oops I felt a whoosh
Wet panties - I don’t need to peek!
I contact my doctor called Emma
And explain my awful dilemma
That when I need to pee
There is such urgency
It ruins walks...

Out of Words Out of words
I ran out of words
so I stopped at the store
and searched every aisle and row
Pushing my cart
with a wobbling wheel
just trying to keep with the flow
Green beans and cold cuts
and dishwasher soap,
cartons of squeezed orange juice
Deodorant, hot dogs,
steak by the pound,
napkins and...

Love's RoseOf all flowers
you stand out
most beautiful
an opening rosebud
sweet fresh
in blooming white
within emotions dew
Priceless feelings
falling kisses
softy from
the center out
tasting happiness
in sweet
scenting petals
one lady
of dreams
Fingers gliding gently
softly touching satin
over such...

Worthless WorldIn the world wide and broad
Aborigine, distort and deform
Out of hatred and disgust
We kill each of us!
Humanity dies by the hands of human
Brutality become familiar member
Kindness and emotions broke up with chamber
All seems dull and dead
No...

My PlaceI cannot recall my very first place
as a baby I did not know my home;
a new baby's room dressed with pretty lace
dad's dog was under the crib to watch~roam.
They say the walls were all painted yellow
the cute stuffed brown...

Ode
The RageOut of the blue;
lightning bolt jabs, stabs.
Raging storm of vengeance;
searing in the night.
I feel the horror
of the violent tempest.
Vile angry tempest;
sky of black and blue.
A worse horror
is a migraine stab.
It’s the longest nights,
unending vengeance.
The eternal vengeance;
barbarian tempest;
predator of the night;
leaves me...

The Essence of BeingOut of nothing you were called
Molded by Love’s unseen hand
Spirit and flesh intertwined
For a purpose you are made and uniquely named
Though a minute piece, of the universe, you are,
Yet, most essential is your being ...
