Best Chalkboards Poems

Poems have their verses


Blinded by the light
Stood outside to stare
Counting clouds in groups of two
If only you were there

Dreams may come in circles
Rounding out the bend
Ovals in a cornered box
Wanting you again

Laughing through the sadness
Easing past the fear
Bandages of cotton call
Wishing you were here

A most genius, scientific mind, whom I respect,
with chalkboards full of numbers and symbols;
such mathematical equations and theories
as to boggle the ordinary mind, spoke these words,
"No room for God."
I find that odd.

The same words spoken to Mary and Joseph.
The irony couldn't be stranger,
thus Jesus, born...

Color outside the lines


Coloring outside the lines
Not at my school
Nuns frowned on that;
Skirts above the knee
No way
Not at my school;
No gum, no pens,
No make-up
Not allowed-uh-uh
Not at Saint George School;
Memorize your verses
Three a night
Don'miss a word
Mistakes not allowed;
Practice cursive
Letter after letter after letter
Fingers hurting
Pain allowed;
Piano lessons...

Alone,
the television muted 
Thoughts float about on
shadowed wings 
Faces with moving mouths appear,
nothing is heard 
My mind collects itself,
slanted views 
Trading happiness for solitude,
beneath spinning blades
Not sharp,
but constant like minutes
Time teaches unwanted lessons
erasing chalkboards and creating dust

There is a moon, I have seen it, ...

In human affairs, what prepares
A mortgage to funnel a home
A church to repent its coffers
A vehicle to search its on tank

What keeps stolen pride alive
While kingdoms crumble
Let it be
The barnacles of the bridge

Enlightenment rescind its kid
As chalkboards charter a change
Or simply rearrange furniture

The hospital panic...

Recess Bell

Where'd it go
That twice a day relief
Leaving behind blackboard's chalk-lines
To immerse in the blacktop chalk-lines

That place where hop scotch
Poison line
River ball
Target ball
Quickly made chalk nubs
Made innocent everyone's fun
Made sad classroom returns

That ringing in our ears
Announcing freedom time
Now but a morning and afternoon
Workplace coffee break
Signaled...

Dull becomes the page, when there's nothing left to say 

When the classroom is empty and the projector is blank

And the halls echo in silence their voices now gone 

Autumns past, as the inspiration dies and the winter dawns....

Gathering my pens and a felt unto...

The hue of streets; cousins of chalkboards;
the distinct voice of transition; of forbidden love
sipped through straws of anticipation;
swallowing decadent tribulations
to nourish picturesque gardens
and English dreams; the line between
appreciation and alienation
Happens to be the blemish
of today's death; headline hopscotch
founding father of premeditation
Sound prints in the sand

Suddenly tired of being wired
Desire to die while being admired
Every omen reaks of old grass stains
Nothing in this twisted game to gain

Daggers and crimes filling my mind
Burning so bad it's making me blind
Every last sound the silence will make
Nails on the...

This is their moment 
Place on your makeup and let us begin
Cast the shadows of deceit with a grin
Curtain calls and the show begins

The world is their stage, action consumes.
Warm hugs and I love you’s 
Serene and pristine,  
O, look how they are giving...

i am drawing a blank right now
the clock is sweating and becoming impatient
i see the dots and spots that formulate clots in the hollow banks of my memory

i am collecting the air as i write
the sky is dehydrated and becoming desperate
i notice that sags in...

Outside my window, underneath an eave,
nestlings chirr,  greeting  the new dawn
Sleepy eyes begin to open, seeking,
much to do now that dark of night is gone

The Keeper of the Stars is gathering
her children onto a cloud where they loll.
Dawn is stretching her fingers out,...

Silence splattered across the page
Riding on deeply buried tides
Climbing from treetops into hills of tomorrow

Life never exists the way the say
In boardrooms and across chalkboards
They just know what you're likely to eat...

The sun shatters cobwebbed dreary polite peace
Too glorious now to remain unmoved
For those with...
