Best Cube Poems

I always wanted two slices of ice cube pie
“You only get one”, was the standard reply.
I don’t know why I did
But since I was a kid
It was my favorite treat on the Fourth of July.

The pastry is known by all our relations
Since the recipe’s passed...

Love is a season.
And holidays mark the seasons, and years like signs in the road,
reflecting the bumps in our journey, but showing us a way back home.

Sixteen, in pajamas, watching the rain pelt down,
it was long past midnight, Christmas eve.
Twinkling lights on one house across...

It was a magical time.  It was youth and exuberance; It was excitement and discovery; it was innocence. It is now just memory, ah, but once it was the reality of sunshine and butterflies. The seeming timelessness of youth is a realistic illusion, when...

who wants to settle in
and freeze on a park bench…
in a friend’s backyard…

drip-drip, the dream of the hereafter
what will you be thinking as you are sinking

in your seat
at the revelation of your death…

looking back a mother who cradled your head
most delicately…most carefully

milk pools around the...

It has not once left me alone, the stubborn beauty,
It has called to me to be at last solved,
But I had left its secrets alone, the unknown pattern,
Colors telling stories left running around my head,
Every fragment remaining present at my side,
I've been left no choice...

Natures gem solid
Cold, now taken in my hand
Her back in arched shape
To her nape, warmth slowly melts
Witnessing trickles running

Down her spine it flows
Curvaceous sighs quivering 
In hungered view, I
Retrace it's path to her nape
Fingers now cold in excite

Two layers in hand,
Misplaced colors offer no plan,
No exit, imagine!...

leaves a dent, falls in river

Yours is a horrendous bother
I decode one side, you obfuscate another!
I twist and turn, twist and turn again
Fingers engrossed around your parts, another twist
extirpates the other side! My enthusiasm refuses to wane.
I warp your shifting visage, weave the obliterated wrist,
Only succeeding to dislodge several faces,
I...

I got a plant for Mothers’ Day – 
An orchid, snowy white.
I placed it on the windowsill
For steady, gentle light.

Instructions were mysterious – 
“Avoid all drafts” – I get it;
But “Water with an ice cube”
Seems the weirdest way to wet it.

For in tropical environments,
Where orchids...

If Rubik's cube was molded round
no crazy puzzle would be found.
It could just be, like Earth, a sphere-
a ball with colorful veneer.
 
Now think of Earth as Rubik-cubed-
a smooth existence does elude;
unstably spinning through the air-
with rifts, upheavals everywhere.

So, if the Rubik's cube was round-
I'd...

If the Rubik's Cube was Round
Would the Earth not?
Would the men with knives and pitchforks 
After Eratosthenes be proud?
Would voyagers search far and wide
Once more for the famous edge
Only for the fall
If only the Rubik's Cube was Round...
