Best Chew Up Poems


Premium Member A Captive of Circumstance
Your thought-balloons are filled with wild and magical freedom ~

until madness seizes your think tank 
trapping your ceaselessly chirping ideas 
within the teeth of its snapped steel-jaws 
refusing to relinquish you; lest you chew up and spit out your mind-racing brain

ire over this cognitive quagmire...

Premium Member In the Grass
My name is Yù míng               
Jade brightness is what it means
I’m a Praying Mantis and we look like string beans
I jump about the grass to chew up flowers, leaves 
and stems...

Premium Member Life's Basic Rule
Global warming's changing our world,
as deserts increase, farmland shrinks.
And ancient glaciers have no ice, 
the sea's dying and the air stinks.

Weather upheavals forecast gloom,
as rivers flood altered courses.
And torrential rains drench the earth,
a shift in natural forces.

Virgin forests scared by fire's flame
leave barren soil to...

Premium Member Smarter Than Guppies
Why do puppies like to chew up paper
To ingest the news I'm thinking, this caper
Smart ass puppies
Smarter than guppies
They just swim around smiling back at us gapers...

Spitting Venom
You ask me where I've gone to and how I've been,
I stop for a second where do I begin?
It's probably for the best if I don't say what's on my mind.
So I take a deep breath and tell you that I'm fine.
Can you tell that...

Premium Member Got Game
From the north silently it comes down the river,
invisible, radioactive, combining with *acid rain.
Nuclear power, cheap energy, a cancer giver
and all we love will end, if we don't chose to refrain.

So fueled by greed, we chew up the earth for coal to burn,
blackening the skies...

To Market
Butcher beats bloodied meats
Baker takes a heavy seat
Hands are flour’d, rolling dough
‘round wooded table to and fro,
Humming softly, braids and bakes
Bread loaves, muffins, pastries, cakes.
Olive bar, briny.
Plump lumps all soft and shiny.
Some are pitted while others, bare,
Engorged with peppers, cheeses fare
Better than their pitted mates
Drying...

Stick In the Mud
You filthy rodent
Why did you eat up my plants?
You're a stubborn pest

You stick in the mud
Why did you chew up my crops?
You're very naughty!

Shame on you, silly, hairless rodent!
Remind me to buy some chicken wire or rodent traps!

Death
As scary as you are i wish you didn’t have a name.
As heartless as you can be i wish you never existed.
As brutal as you go, i hate to even think of you
Though even the rain of my tears doesn’t worth your pity.
I always whisper...

Good morning Bushy Tail
How are you today?
I sure did miss you
When I was away.

Even now that I've returned
I still don't get the chance 
To enjoy all you antics
Because of my darned back.

I understand you guys
Must of missed me too
I heard of all the damage
The neighbors...

Stocks
Roll up, roll up,
Take your best shot
I'll chew up all your hatred,
Anger and scorn
Then spit them back in your face
Rain down your judgmental daggers
I'll catch them in my teeth
And plunge them in your back
Let he who is without sin
Cast the first rotten cabbage...

Premium Member Is the Opossum Dead
It is 4:55 a.m.
The dogs are going crazy.
I turn and see a wet opossum lying two feet away. 
Is the opossum dead?
Should I pick it up?
Not by the tail unless I wear gloves.
Maybe I could scoop it up in my shovel
What if Buddy our dog...

Beauty Pageants For Little Girls
in the sea of lipstick & matching eyeliner 
you need to check your hands quickly---
oh watchers of beauty pageants for little girls
it just might be that you never really
developed those thumbs like the 
rest of us---
as those of us who have been riding that popular...
