Best Cooler Poems

"Dry Throat at the Water Cooler"

Particle after particle,
Riding out the sandy dunes
Wanting so much to nibble 
on the grapevine

My wind pipes crack, from dry wit and gossip

All the witty remarks are scarce 
Snatched up by others flushing out

fabrications Diverting attention
from themselves Drowning in their own...

Fifty years of bustin’ ass, I never had a dime,
If I had any balls at all, I’d’ve chose a life of crime;

I never owned a brand new truck, a flat TV or yacht,
I figured I deserved much more, but settled for what I got;

I’ve had...

A MATTER OF GRAVITY

where art thou when I need thee most
ah yes, thou has become a ghost
a wishing well empty, a pond depleted
as I stand as stagnant, a man defeated

i have been overcome by demons inside
and when they request "why hast he died"
say unto them...

His Velvet  voice
Rusty growl
Gentle pauses caress the veiled swell
             Her secret beneath a tailored vest
Radiant  warmth spreads
             thistledown

Just an Old Cooler

Not much to look at,
Hard to carry,
Won’t through it away.

To you, it looks dirty,
To me, it looks used.
From the late 1960s

To you, it appears empty,
To me, it's full of memories.
I miss my dad so much,
The tears well up, flowing out.

Camping trips to...

About today's latest news flash at the office?
You asked if I heard about so & so...
How promotion came to be...
As you winked,
Winked.
No,
But,
I hear you-...

Now, come cooler days,
   wind riding on morning haze
   and the once cloudless clear skies
   find billowy puffs in uncovered lies.
A sudden wind and rain storm
   teases the earth to resurface, be reborn
   but the...

Cooler nights
Autumn breeze,
brighter lights
soon will freeze...
One more day
One more night,
there is no way
I am taking flight...
Live for today
not for tomorrow...
For everyday
Joy and sorrow...
Life is short
Live to the fullest...
Praise the Lord,
for He is worthy...
Soon He will come
and take us home...
Prepare to meet your God
and worship Him...

How many remember the typewriter
With it's clickety clack sound
For those that do you can never forget
That sound so familiar
To every office before computers
A sound so remenicent
So nostalgic to those who remember
Those long lost days from another era
Unless you lived through them
They are sounds gone by
Never...

I looked for shade on that Summer's day
My body is made for a cooler May
By a river to wade I found the way
Lie or be laid where coolness may stay
High up the grade where zephyrs will play
Nigh on the blade where green grass forms hay
Shy...

ice can be sculpted 
into an ax, a ring; shatter;
soap, a thumb pop;
used to keep water
and soda pop
chill and give the kids a reason
for sitting still.

ice can slide over the neck,
legs, arms - deliciously melt;
can make a kid laugh,
under his shirt.

Send the kid to the...

Split splat against my nose it goes, 
Nothing I can do about that though....

Boat’s hooked up
Cooler’s packed
Got my hat
First beer’s cracked.
Crank bait on
Poles are ready
Off I go now
Slow and steady.
Troll around
The lily pads
Cast and reel
Almost had him.
Now off I go
It’s the end of the day
With stories to tell
How he got away....
