Best Chin Poems

I have such high hopes; 
For you in this world!
I guess you can't see;
You're tucked up and curled;
In a safe, secure place;
Away from what's real.
With all of your needs met;
You don't miss a meal!
COOL as can be;
Caught up in 'this life'.
It seems you can't see;
What's...

I know life is fleeting, it all but crumbles to dust,
willessly washed away by the passage of time.
So easily lain waste and forgotten.

Yet for me who knew her dearest,
so easily enamoured by her graceful nature,
swooned over by her cosmic appeal,

chose not to sever ties with...

Looking on with disdain
At the wayside street urchin
We feel within us a pricking pain
From conscience to us one on the chin

Judging the other by outer appearance 
Unspoken thoughts veil not our intent
Where has gone innate innocence 
The play divine joyful & content

As a human I've found life can be hard
Feeling low, we let down our Guard
Negative thoughts keep us weighed down
Our faces show off merely a frown

Lately though, a changed feel to the Gut
Having kept my head down but always chin up
As a human I've found...

K-eep your chin up, 
E-vade the forlorn sight; 
N-ew dawn has broken, 
N-ever stay in the night. 
A-im to keep your chin up, remain joyful in the dark day; 
H-igh up in the wide sky, as the clouds are gray. 

G-ladly keep your chin up,...

The dry eyed man walked
with his chin held high. 

He'd done his best, and 
said his worst. 
There he walked away, 
away from the hearse. 

Who it contained, 
I do not know... 

But whoever it was, 
they sure got a show....

With you I could do it my way is a pleasure   
If you go away my bouquet will be empty
I know you'll fill the vase forever and ever
Hey stay in the gray and green my moonlight lady

If you go away my bouquet will...

I scratch my chin
while i sit and ponder
And i wonder
about that poetess
way down yonder
Shes far away 
So many miles
Filled with so many poetic styles
But now shes asked me to make her smile.
But what kind of smile im not quite clear
Is it one from ear to...

There once was a nanny,* lived in New Guinea
She's spot her billy, O would she whinny
   She'd kick up her feet
   And then she would bleat
She'd curl the hair on his chin-chin-chinny


*A nanny is a female goat...

What's something 
really gross 
you've seen lately? 

For me, 
it was a toothless old lady 
on a bus stop bench, 
gumming Cheetos she first 
softened up 
in a paper cup of water, 
her mouth and chin 
bright orange....

Why have we poured out our love
on the frozen floor for all to see? 
Why am I gazing at the shards 
of the stained glass of you and me?
Where a picture of pleasure once portrayed. 
Why is it becoming further stained 
not with love and...

Devotion Poem.  Dancing Dream

(Dedicated to my husband Jim, with love)

Like a story’s narrator, I cannot see myself 
In life nor in dreams, nor in memories where
My recollection of you comes first
Of your eyes, which I have
Absolutely memorized, especially 
All their glistening smiles,
When they look...

My heart is drowning and i can not swim, 
I do not know where to begin,
All the things the were said and done, 
wish i know just what went wrong,

I am confused and also in pain, 
Do not think my heart will mend again,
Thinking of...

On this day, a wee time ago_ after rough sails, you floated ashore. From life-giving waters, a brand-new soul_ for my eyes alone_ like unto one never-before. Bless my heart! Just look at that face_ round and chubby, beautifully graced in lace. Two sparkling eyes_...
