Best Corner Poems

around the corner...just!

light brilliant...trees freshly brushed...
a breeze meandering through the grass...
a baby blue sky, an occasional cloud shaped and reshaped,
...a waterfall roars like a lion...its spray soft as a lamb.

around the corner...Just

a lovers breath against my neck...a lover's lies,
an ego lift...a seat on that pedestal...

As I walk downtown I see an alley 
Where a black cat sat staring up at me,
The sound of her purring was so soothing 
Lulled and hypnotized me how could that be.

With its green eyes lightning up the darkness 
I saw a sign was hanging...

Maybe the most deadly disease is just around our corner
Carried to our doorstep by an unsuspected foreigner
Ebola is lethal with a fatality rate that is extremely high
If infected you have a 70% probability that you will die
 
Incubation period can span from one to forty...

Around the corner (20141010)

What’s around the corner?
What’s just beyond our view,
For the soldier and the foreigner,
What’s ahead for me and you?
Two terribly tired turtles
Which wearily weathered wars,
Survived cyclical separations, 
Regretfully raised rebellious rascals.
Seemingly securely safe-shelled,
Ironically intently imagining inside
Future failures, follies, fallouts
Won’t waste, wreck, wipe-out their...

(Giving voice to those who suffered and believe in poetic justice)

Should I cut the corner of your coat?
Too many times you tried to squeeze my throat;
you got perverse pleasure to see my page blank, 
thought I have overdrawn the polyglot’s bank.
I saw your glee, you...

The flower fairies congregate
around the lily pool then wait
until the stars' resplendent light
illuminate each floating pad.

To taste the sound of petals' song
how quietly... they drift along
above the grove, all clothed in flames
till pixies scatter dust on boughs.

And winging through the air-brushed haze
each little feather gleams...

Is something wonderful in store for me?
I feel it near and almost hear the pulse of it!
What’s around the corner? What can it be?
So far, a butterfly, it only wants to flit.

I feel it near and almost hear the pulse of it.
It has to be...

The ruffle of fleece at her neck
makes her feel manufactured, not born—
brushstrokes of windswept wool,
all soft edges and curves
the color of old milk.

Her lips were no artist's accident,
nor the smirk as she lurks
in the corner more knowing 
than any ewe usually dares. 
Coy smile, a...

Buzzing loudly,
Is that coming from me?
Dust and filth in my shade,
Slightly cracked, was this how I was made?
My light yellowed and dim,
The chances of me getting a new light bulb are slim.
But I've been here for so long,
Everywhere else feels wrong....

I’m standing in the corner 
of a room named loneliness  
 
There are people all around me 
in their ties and fancy dress

They’re engaged in conversation 
and though some of it’s with me

without you in my life 
I’m as lonely as can be 

I’m...

Let's take this chance to relish color
Embrace the autumn while it's here
for soon, we'll need turn the corner
and find Jack Frost is waiting there

His frosty face will nip the air, 
His slick rain coat will steal the show
He'll blow a wind to bring the snow
and...

Good morning, good morning, girls and boys
I hope you brought your Disney toys

Gather round in a circle close
Lets sing about the ones we love the most


Mickey, Mickey, your so cute and small
We love you the best of all

Donald Duck with his ducklings three
Dressed the same...

Around the corner but just out of view
We'll see what the future holds for me and you
It may be great yes it may be grand 
It might be simple and quite bland

Around the corner but just out of view
What the future holds depends a lot...

Unsettling the days we live,
the whole world writhes in anguish;
hatred dances with brutality
and innocent children languish--
what lies around the corner?

Will the future be stolen
by evil bandits on the prowl;
does the bending before us
disguise an ending fair or fowl--
what lies around the corner?

Heart, refuse surrender;
continue marching...

At times I write my verse in rhyme
So rhythmic words may travel time
My hope is that they will endure
E'en though my name remain obscure

The clouds had cleared, the moon was bright
Illuminating thoughts, at night
Abounding from both near and far
They paused to watch a shooting star

I...
