Best Crumbs Poems

Today so many young women
Don't know how to cook meals
They can drive through Wendy's window
Ordering a good deal

Today so many young women
Can't sew a stitch to mend
They can catch all the sales events
On credit cards depend

Today so many young women
Haven't had a good guide
They only...

These are my bread crumbs,
scattered on the brumous trail 
should I ever turn around 
to view the path I've traveled 
and see only a myriad of trees.

These are my bread crumbs.
I drop them knowing full well they may be 
eaten by ravenous rodents and raccoons
who...

I will NOT be satisfied with the crumbs
That fall from your banquet table of love
I’m here to have a gluttonous feast
Don’t….Don’t insult me with tiny morsels
You throw my way
To entice?
To tease?
To...appease???

I’m to sit at the head of the table
My rightful place
And eat and drink to...

Her wedding vows were simple, heartfelt and concise…
“If love is the bread of life,” she said, 
“I promise all my love with every slice.

A smile crossed his face and tears welled in his eyes.
He could not hide his happiness…
his contentment…
his surprise.

For he knew in their...

CRUMBS

Just crumbs, Lord, from Your table—that’s all I should receive,
For I am so unworthy, but yet I still believe.
For no one’s unimportant, You love all just the same,
And nothing is impossible when one calls on Your name.
I can’t impress you, Jesus, with any work I...

What's left of the crumbs, leave it to me.
His cries tore my ailing eardrums, my skin as blue as the calm of country nights
Then I sank under the mud of the battlefield, My heart sank like the stars of the raging galaxy, My wet hair...

SOME CRUMBS OF LOVE

Five feet one inch tall that I am
Young adult I am at twenty-nine this year
Wearing a contagious smile that outshines the sun they say
Constantly been walking and walking on weeds and rocks
where only I have are my dreams and the love I...

Man and wife are at opposite ends of the scale
When it comes agreeing on what's important in life, we fail
Obsessed with crumbs on the counter
Berates him till into a battle they flounder
Life's too short to worry about crumbs for peace to prevail...

I can feel the seemingly invisible shards creeping along my skin,  cutting me like glass. 
The presence of these creatures alone swallows me whole and leaves me restless. 
I promised you and myself that i wouldn’t open the doors to allow them in again,...

We work for them and drop them
So pigeons have a feast.
Indoors, they hide in dread of
The vacuum cleaner beast.

On coffee cakes and muffins,
They're something that we prize
And often they are sprinkled
On huckleberry pies.

The detritus of dinners
Or what's left when one succumbs,
Our lives are filled with...

where 
the
birds eat

cosmic crumbs...

Crumbs on the table, crumbs on the floor
And behind the door,
Crumbs on my clothes and even sometimes up my nose.

It's a mystery to me why,
No matter what I chose to eat, crumbs end up close by.
Yet my wife never leaves a one.

I can't give up...
