Best Clam Up Poems


Premium Member Asperges Carer
It is hard living with asperges
Everything is black and white
Nothing is illogical 
Day is day and night is night

You can not read emotion 
You don't want to cause commotion 
All you want is love and understanding
Not grief and people just demanding 

It's hard to show...

Serenity
Deep beneath the dark blue sea,
tranquil, turquoise serenity,
as aqua waves wash ashore,
sand dollars, brittle, are no more.

Twice the tides will ebb again,
stirring creatures from their dens,
don't ask the oysters, they'll clam up,
they always keep their clam lips shut.

Watch the waves pushed by the wind,
silver flash...

Premium Member My Kid Machine
They draw me punk, they draw me clean, they draw me messy, my kid machine.
I have a cult, they are my regular beings, they come in droves, pretending mean.
They get referred more times than all the rest by a variety of teachers, galore.
They dance and...

I Still Care
I have finally realized it’s time to let go
Took me to loose a friend to realize what I already know
I’ve apologized for my actions to you with no avail
Which leaves me to do what I do best which is to bail
Kicking my own butt once...

Tongue
Listen! Clam up your mouth and be silent like an oyster shell, 
Your tongue is the enemy of your soul 
Death and life are in the control of the tongue
Your tongue can be sharp, ugly and venomous like a toad 
Keep your tongue from evil...

Premium Member Eric Clapton's Tears In Heaven
unable to wither away 
and crawl under bedrock
wanting to clam up
turn off all the lights
you the grieving father
in unfathomable anguish

the tragedy shakes the world
leaving it breathless
connecting each one of us
through your heartache 
compelled to share the burden
immeasurable in its wake

the world not done with
the grieving...

Premium Member What's In a Name Inspired By Exalted Words Contest
I’m catching a train to a station
It’s causing me awful frustration
I cannot say its name
I clam up, its a shame
I’ll never reach my destination!

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
When written it is quite a shock
My poem’s syllable count
Off by a great amount
But I've truly cured my writer’s block!

Premium Member Antiques N Elders
It's What's under 
the hood that counts.
 
Antiques  are worth money-
Like old things have much value.

Knowledge and wisdom
are the title's transferred.

Only people are
devalued with time.

One day sit down
and speak to an elder.

Open up his chest -Find 
what out how he survived....

the death defying
feat of...

Puppy Love
by Wayne Wysocki

Put some money in the KITTY,
It's PUPPY LOVE;
Better DUCK, 'cause I'm not LION,
It's PUPPY LOVE.

I won't CLAM up
Or FLOUNDER around,
I'm gonna HOUND you;
HOUND, HOUND, HOUND.

Mind your own BEE'S WAX;
PUPPY LOVE
Is bound to get your GOAT,
'Cause PUPPY LOVE

Is a TIGER by the tail,
But lots...

Premium Member Schizophrenia: A Collaboration with Myself
When I was one and twenty
a moral with a twist ...

They say I am the key
that will unlock the cell
yet how can I get free
for I'm wrapped so well

Don't wrap me or cell me
just give me what THEY want

At first, they say they want to...

To Much Adipose
To Much Adipose

Too much adipose
I suppose as body grows
Long extends my noose.

Is that what happens when
you are compelling and will
be telling a lie?

Clam up of course is what people
usually do when they realize
that their body has been
over baked like Trump's is.

Premium Member The Battle of the Sexes
The Battle of the Sexes
By Franklin Price
1/28/2017

The battle of the sexes
Not about the sword and sheath
Who will be above
Or who will be beneath

Who will be the leader
Who's the underling?
Neither one is who I say
Equality's the thing

Sharing in the doing
No matter what the task
“Why can't we...

A Therapists Dream
I'm a dream for a therapist
Except I'm unable to express my pain in person, But on paper I have no issue with sharing it
I've battled depression for too long to hear "life is too short, you should cherish it"
There's so much going on in my...
