Best Countertops Poems

I Hate Home Depot!

I hate Home Depot!
Just the sight of that
orange and white sign
makes my stomach turn.

However I know every
square inch of that store,
I’ve spent
thousands of hours there
as a paying customer.

I know what all is in the
garden section for all of the seasons.
I know where...

My dream house
It will be by the beach
Totally open
Bright with a lot of natural lights
Modern contemporary
It will be a 5 bedroom 4 baths
Why do I need that many?
Don't know
Like to spread out myself
It will have travertine floors
White cabinets
that I can totally drown myself in
Granite countertops
Stainless...

 Kitty  Cat and Christmas Tree
Kitty, Kitty

Kitty, Kitty

Oh sweet,  snuggly,  cuddly,  pretty bundle of joy

Full of mischief that gets you into trouble, my furry fur ball  

 A kitty-cat that desires so much loving and attention

Affectionate and my shadow when...

It was dark out. The stars shone dimly, and the horizon blushed faintly as the birds sang, too cheery for the hour. A chill swept the edges of all the outside world: not cold enough to be truly considered cold, but far from anything to...

With intention, I walk into the laundry room to get what was it now,
Let’s see, looking around ~  I know it will come to me somehow.
I’ll resolve this, so back to the kitchen, I carefully retrace my path,
It strikes me, I need some bleach,...

Brain strain – A kitchen adventure 

Broken ladles scattered about the new granite countertops
Veins of years gone by, prehistoric earth tremblings, spotted composites
in a vast array of colors, wickedly smooth and hard as rock (go figure)

Silverware sings like wind chimes on the tile floor,
cast aside...

The world you where born into is burning, Hopkins.

It's big and Ugly and smells like diesel exhaust.

Literally, because the hospital Insurance sent us to is on an i-95 off ramp

Just north of the South Carolina/Georgia Line.

You where born during an episode of House Hunters,

Two days...

The old Kaufman footwear factory
with it's grand entryway
Marble floors
Granite counters
Important people use to walk it's halls

Pictures of the founders had lined the walls
Intimidating, dressed in three piece suits
holding somber expressions
masters of a previous time

I walk down the halls
to the workers domain
stepping across pieces of debris...

losing blood like a hemorrhage. 
it’s your hands that will bleed this time. 
stale, Dauphin eyes break and feed 
tragic Calamity, when the wisping clouds 
,with their wisping mouths, wisp no more. 
biting at the king’s ears; hearing what I hear 
placing yourself at a...

Countertops like held hands
support slowly separated spaces
pulling away from unkept passion
your lips speak loves last grace

Has desire ever been so elusive?
she dances in my fireplace
she drips from my shower-head
only to fall into ashes
and retreat from my lonesome bed

her touch like moments past 
is color fading...

Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers...
   Are you numb from all your numbers?
Social security, drivers license, identity card numbers
   Numbers, numbers -- numb from numbers

Library card, insurance card, employee numbers
   Credit card, debit card, loyalty club card numbers
Numbers, numbers, numbers, numbers...

Sunday morning sardines
Sing trademarked sermons
No gain, guitars must be clean
To harken out the predetermined

Donation cards in cursive fonts
A prayer for a new patio to
Crosses finished like their countertops
Their fair-weather faith up for review

This is for the poor Diet Coke debutantes
In Burberry scarves with lipstick grins
Money...

It was summer on a Saturday afternoon.
With a few bucks, I went to a saloon.
I made some decent progress with my third beer.
All of the sudden, a vision of loveliness would appear.
She was a brunette scantily clad in a bikini colored pink.
This girl looked young;...
