Best Cool It Poems

Sitting on the Fence at Twilight

When the sun waved good-bye in the afternoon,
I’d say hello to the smiling Man in the Moon. 
Perching on our gray concrete fence,
I’d swing my brown legs to a happy cadence.
From my solid fortress, I could see
a daily circus of...

Kittens In The Barn

He stops and removes his boots before opening the door.  He enters the kitchen and smells the familiar aroma of morning coffee.

"Breakfast's ready, have a seat.  How're the kittens" his wife asks.  

"Damn cat" he says.  "Should have...

I know I'm really tired
I just don't want to sleep
I guess I'm just really wired
Dreams will make me weep

I'm scared to see those things and sounds
Locked deep inside my brain
Make me sweat and wriggle around
Makes me think that I'm insane

Rational thinking is the cure
Its easier...

The purple on his chin was tellin'
there was just no use to lie.
That pesky, good for nothin' goat
had eaten Mother's pie.
She  had set it on the porch 
jist to cool it down a bit,
and don't you know that goat had come
and calmly eaten it.

“Waiting in the Soul Electric”



We all drown 
in the red madness
sometime 

Crying oceans
of saltwater 
we tear

Like torn pages
we rise rebellious
on all the blazing currents

floating on a thin simile of Life
kissing the Bluebird’s Wings
as innocent as an angel sings

confessional as a demon swings
pirouetting in our flaming...

"Everything is gonna be alright".
A simple writing stared at me from wall.
Somebody drew it. Why, for whom? Don't know.
And what they meant by it, if anything at all.
.
A busy day, its noise - tried push me out.
I had to rush, fulfill, complete and run around.
How...

How I Met My Hubby (Summer 1955 ~ using 1950s slang)

I answered the horn—it was my friend, Bobby.
He told me he knows someone I might dig,
and he’d like me to cast an eyeball on him!
He said he is very earthbound and hep!
So, I told him,...

I reckon the empty nest syndrome hits all at one time or another,
When youngsters flee the nest leaving dear old Dad and Mother!
This morning on the patio I witnessed this situation at its best,
When two baby wrens took flight and left their parent's cozy nest!

With a deep Growl!  
a  Corgi's disapproving eye,
a question mark tail arched in suspicion,
and four white capped feet poised  
to leap off the porch into a dead run,
my old dog thinks he has still got it.

Bark! Bark! Bark!
You have been warned by...

Chernobyl.


A nuclear disaster, in the Russian town Chernobyl,
An odor-less killer, the invisible force.
As the radiation escapes, from the crumbling reactor,
We must cool it down, before it blows.


Evacuate Pripyat, the employee’s town,
The town of 35000; first on the list of infected people.
No warnings to the town...

Every home should have a Jacuzzi
It's the only civilized way
To melt away your cares and troubles
Puts zing back into your day

Nothing else is really quite like it
As the jets open up your pores
It's such a happy invigorating feeling
Like the whole damn world is yours

Feeling like...

Hello? Are you there today?
Have I scared you away?
Spent my whole teenage life, 
Preparing for this day of strife 
To say my goodbye's
To your love-me-not lies
Oh well, oh well
I'm not saying farewell
Where do you dwell?
In Earth's heaven-hell,
Going pellmell in your shell?

Aloha...see you later,alligator 
Aloha...be a...

I wrote this, because I noticed a couple of my friends had a bit of a misunderstanding. If they live next door to one another I could understand, but here, really.

Now that you've said it
You've really made me pissed
No matter what you've meant by that
I...

Suicide is sad and an awful thing to have happen to anyone,
however, in all honesty, have you ever been to that point?
Have you ever hurt so bad down in your soul that you
just couldn’t make it through another day with that pain.
Has your life ever...
