Best Cul De Sac Poems

Stars were twinkling high, glinting moonlit sky,
As missives of love on scarlet winds buoyed 
Indulging passionate desires, enamoring pleas
Of elated longings, strumming pulse of glee,
Spurring romance, blooming heart’s dream,
As you arrived cheering fervid night of spring.

Oh, how I missed a beat, lauding your beauty,
When you...

After Vietnam he came right back
To a three bedroom house on a cul de sac
He worked hard to provide for his family
And now it all seems like insanity

After thirty years, his wife is gone
He can't figure out just what went wrong
His sweet little girl went...

The last drops of milk:
lethargic fly sucks, in my cup
- Autumn leaf lands atop!...

Cul-de-Sac 

Quick steps slow to hesitate
The sudden curve of a straight white line
Into the mists of detour
 Lined with haunting facades
  Of blurred addresses
   And faded street signs
Where echoes of curiosity bluster -
 Magic or madness -
In proverbs of warning about blind...

the good

The doors to my mind and heart
circle as revolving doors.
A peek inside and you see
happy memories and joyous events,
the loves, and lifelong friendships

A cul-de-sac, though a dead end,
has a circular finish, a merry-go-round
that accumulates happiness as it spins
into a cloud of beauty and nature,
compassion,...

The path led to rose bushes cul de sac.
Early in the morning, we sat down to rest.
Dewdrops are still shining on the track.
At our feet, a swarm of ladybugs, deft. 
Petrichor arose as the July rains left us back.

A strain expressing your clumsy affection.
Tune into your...

a time capsule locks inside my head ~ box of gray matter lined with lead

There was this cul-de-sac I well recall
when I was not quite thirty. We’d just bought
our first house, which was cute and kind of small.
Blue, ranch style; rose carpet I liked a lot.
In the cul-de-sac, our house was set
right in the middle; but the number of

The cul-de-sac of safety comes to mind
when faced alone with problems to resolve;
finding that place where boundaries unwind
a safe cocoon where answers can't evolve.

A dead-end street this cul-de-sac supplies-
where only certain outcomes come and go.
Outside-the-box solutions don't arise;
too easy to remain on this plateau.

To come...

For some 30 years, I was faced with Cul-De-Sacs. No
resident in those Cul-De-Sacs exited without facing
my house.

A few years ago, I began to muse over the
significance of Cul-De-Sacs in my life. Occasionally,
I would drive through the Cul De Sac only to see my
house as others...

“Oh weary hermit, etch these words in stone ~
God is within, we never walk alone”
~ quote by poet


Dear God, give us our joy back;
our life’s reached a cul-de-sac,
with heart caught in desire’s net,
our bankrupt soul’s drowned in debt.

Pathways of sin, a dead end,
for how can...

Walking down the country lane
I saw trees in flower all the way.
Gleaming gems among emerald leaves,
A medley of colors on fabulous display!

The path was carpeted with grass.
Thick bushes grew on either side.
The sun was mild and the air, pleasantly cool.
A quiet place where peace did...

There is a group of us that live around
the Cul-De-Sac of our neighborhood.

Jimmy is ten-years-old, the same age I am.
He has  a big tall life oak tree in the backyard
with a tree-house we use for a clubhouse.

Marty is twelve-years-old.
He always wants to boss everyone...

his mind had entered a state of confusion
numb blank and befuddled on one hand
with walls in front 
and verges closing in behind
enclosed in a mixture of discomfort 
and pressure to move

stand still for a moment
a voice quietly whispered
with a chorus answering
run for your life
polarized messages
