Best Coconuts Poems

By sun-kissed sands on moonlit seas,
The ships are sailing in the breeze,
Around me rum and coconuts,
Calypso music, wooden huts,
My hammock tied between two trees.

On sandy beaches and along fertile riverbanks,
In fecund soil and in lush green plantations,
Coconut trees stand tall towering into the sky.
They are benevolent palms at the service of generations.

A coconut tree is a marvel of creation, every part of it can be used.
Its umbrella like crown of leaves shades us from sun.
Its circular, heavy cluster...

In men coconut a link,
In coconuts,some kings,
In light color pink,
Hard and hard coconut skin,
Heart in neat,a white solid thing,
But the hearts in pink,all the Kings,
Very hard like skin,why?still I think!...

Your hairy brown exterior
Belies the sweet interior

A gift to humans culinary
Or cocktail quite extraordinary

Your oil it smooths, caresses
A babies bum it blesses

Your cream is heaven slurry
As I add it to my curry

In short you're what we all need
Though your stature for a plant seed

Might be intimidating
I'll still give you 'A' star rating

Coconut kernel is
good to eat;
healthy, too.

But a coconut
falling on 
one's head isn't
healthy!...

Each day many fall,

Them hardened furry balls.

And oh how they call

Perched on the coconut tree sturdy and tall



Nothing but ‘em coconuts on a dead-end street

With their half-formed wobbly meat

Them coconuts that leave

Me bitter from the sweet.



The tears of the coconut you see

Fall for ideas that never come to be

Dangling fibers from the tree

Bear witness to...

Natural health drink stored in
                            drupe clusters hanging down

The pink sand makes my soft bed,  
a cool breeze covers me like a blanket.  
The palm trees are swaying,  
swaying to the sound of the blue waves.  
As I lay here daydreaming,  
I find shapes in the clouds.  
I see a coconut with a tall straw,  
a...

I've watched this bum that some call President - Commander In Chief,

He made dozens of promises during his first campaign and none he did keep,

Promised "CHANGE" on a grand scale and has only made this country worse,

And if you carefully look at his overall record can only be described as 
perverse,

War, terrorist plane crashes and...

What a lovely bunch! Or is that bananas?
I think the term is cluster. But isn’t that chickens?
No, that’s a peep, as in, don’t make one.

If I don’t make a peep, will I become a Silent One?
If I Speak(s) Volumes will I cluck like a cluster of chickens? 
If I do, will I be thought crazy...

Over the tropical sun, where palm trees sway
I'm depicting palm fronds with a lyrical portray.
On a lowly fruit that cynosure nature bestows
A fascinating tale spanning the coconuts it grows

In this heavenly place, the...

Some people flip out.
Do they end up like a pancake?
Do they topple onto their head?
Some people have breakdowns.
Do they wake up needing fixing
in some asylum’s bed?.

Some people just go crazy,
but they “go” in different ways.
They might go nuts or go bananas.
Are they in a monkey phase?

I’ve heard of going ape,
so it makes sense to say

Coconuts and Fish and Birds

If coconuts could grow on trees
and birds could fly
and fish could swim.
What a wonderful world we’d all enjoy,
what a wonderful world we’d all live in.

If every line I wrote could rhyme
and poetry spilled from my pen,
I’d write about the things I find
and how,and why,
and where,and when.

If everything I wrote made sense
there’d...

I feel the wet sand ooze between my toes as I stroll along the shore
Splashing lightly through the ebbing sea water
Golden sand reflecting the intense sunlight
Creating a subtle mirage in the distance
A thick tree line is only yards from the shore
I look in wonder at the tall palm trees with their coconuts high above
Imagining someone...
