Best Cusses Poems

High noon in Fort Laramie, the summer sun is oppressive.
A whalebone corset digs into my body’s tender parts.
Peering from the shop, my hand touching the pane
of dearly brought glass, I feel the vibration of incoming riders.
The pale blue sky disappears in a cloud of dust....

The summer sun was high. The heat was oppressive.

The time has come to string the lights and decorate the tree,
Fix-up the barn an' house a mite for all the folks to see,
Cause Christmas time's around the bend, an' Santa's underway
A-makin' toys for girls an' boys, an' gifts to fill his sleigh.

The widder Jones,...

The summer sun was high. The heat was oppressive.
A whalebone corset dug into my body's tender parts.
Peering from the shop, my hand touches the pane
of dearly brought glass it vibrates with the hoof-beat of riders.
The weak, blue-sky pales, clouding over with the dust. 
Children playing...

This crazed boss pushes his ole luck
Mind's frenzy ticking like a clock;
As gut's livewire wants to explode
Rush of cusses now I shall load.

My pay is a low miser’s bag
While hard job has a large tag--
Stingy, lazy boss, he’ll remain
And there's nothing left to gain.

He jeers...

the tulip tree tosses petals
to the dying maple tree
tree cutting men and chain saw converse
leaving stumps ...of words
a twitching, gray squirrel cusses....

the tulip tree has lost its mate...

He drops the tailgate on that old GMC truck
using it as a makeshift workbench
He tinkers with an old icemaker 
determined to bring it back to it's former glory
He whistles an old country tune as he works with contentment
His screwdriver slips and the melody is broken
He...

From morning to dawn my hands stretch to strangers,
getting rain, the wind, and a few pennies. My begging bowl's
weight is light, making me wish that my heart was that light,
with less burdens to carry.
I have been thrown cusses, and thrown from one street
to another; bruises...

My friend has a woman,
She’s gorgeous and mean.
What comes from her mouth,
Is mostly obscene.
He brings her to parties
She drinks till she’s drunk.
Flirts with men, cusses women
Then leaves in a funk.
She spends all his money
On booze, food and drugs,
She dirties his house
and pukes on his rugs.
She’s...

She sits on the floor arms wrapped around her ankles.
By a thread of hope, she dangles.
Tears run from her eyes endlessly.
Nobody can stop her from breaking.
Her breathing gets ragged and troubled.
No matter what her problems are doubled.
Rocking herself, comfort eases over her mind.
Her meds are...

She is the scarlet woman
Accused and tried
Made to wear shame as a veil
To be prejudiced by the society
Somehow I wonder if soceity is wrong
She is a whore, an adultress 
A witch who deserves no pity 
At least that what mother said
Dad just smiled and whispers
Ladies...

Yesterday I would have cried an ocean over you,
Hell knows I did on many occasion,
Tired and alone from you non-existent love.

Last night I cried a stream, 
It ran down  my vacant expression,
Rolled off my chin,
And crashed onto my pillow,

This morning there is nothing inside...

Worldly or other worldly medical possessive pronouns 
Dance fire glow orange on white but darkened ceilings.
Frozen water per-cusses and abuses shaped glass structures.
Hand to mouth is how the birds eat.
Hand to foot disease spreads like children’s nursery rhymes 
In the fresh cut school lawns sandy...

My Amazon parrot is called Polly
By jingo she just won’t stop squawking
She’s totally off her trolley
And cusses at me when I’m talking

I keep her locked in a gilded cage
Just in case she tries to escape
When she flies into a vile rage
I just cover her cage...

Death.....
Tastes so sweet
Wish I was there
And not here
I slit my wrists
But I'm still here
I'm still living
I overdose
But I only slept
Went to slit my throat
Only to drop the blade
I'm still here
With nowhere left to go
He hits me
She cusses me out
They both say it's all my fault
I...
