Best Chew Up Poems
A Captive of CircumstanceYour 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...

In the GrassMy 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...

Life's Basic RuleGlobal 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...

Smarter Than GuppiesWhy 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 VenomYou 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...

Got GameFrom 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 MarketButcher 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 MudYou 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!

DeathAs 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...

Naughty, NaughtyGood 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...

StocksRoll 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...

Is the Opossum DeadIt 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...
