Best Declare Poems

His wife said she’d got a new house pet
He'd not seen her smile like this in years
When she showed him she’d bought a ‘rabbit’
He'd expected one with floppy ears!

There was a young blonde from Stroud
Whose hair made her stand out in a crowd
Til my nail caught in a curl
I declare this ain't no girl
her trousers were standing out proud...

"How fragile is life in nature's forceful wind..."
Dylan Thomas wrote of October gales
and their harsh, buffeting fingers. 
He called them an "autumnal spell."
Autumn...the season when leaves hang trembling.

Christina Rosetti's lines have been well read...
"Who has seen the wind? Neither you nor me.
But when the trees...

As a child I wanted to be a pilot and writer I wasn’t interested in much else.
I became a Marine at 17 a husband at 20, a father at 23 a grandfather at 50
I am a happy middle age fat man with the same wife...

Well I declare...the days are growing shorter
And this day was just as warm as was July.
Heat makes me lazy and the time just slipped away.
Woe is me...but the whole day flitted by.

Well, golly gee, with pears and apples falling,
It's time to get my canning kettle...

I watched, fascinated, as the tall lone boy
in line to ride the Scrambler
stuffed handfuls of peanuts in his mouth.
This was the same boy I had spied just an hour ago
further down the way
where thirteen seemingly ravenous, foolish people 
bent their heads to plates, and with...

Why, yes, that’s a picture of me there
You cannot believe I was once fair
     Just look at your belly
     It bounces like jelly
It seems you’re now ready to compare

At least I have hair you can envy
That wig...

He’s turning right without a signal to say so
She’s pulling out into my lane – oh no
They’re driving slow so they must be old
But what if that’s my Mama I’m told

He’s in my lane and seems oblivious
I think he expects me to clean out the...

Well I declare!
Gawd, did you hear
the minister just
dyed his hair,
a reddish tint
with purple streaks
to match his flowered
untied “sneaks”.
I do declare!
I saw him there
buying thong-style
underwear,
to match the
tightly binding jeans
that held him in
with bulging seams.,
caressing every
part of him
Dear Gawd, it’s
got to be a sin.
Saw him wiggle,
dance and...

     It may be Great Spirits above,
Or Almighty God that you love;
          But each day say a deep prayer,
We have so much thanks to declare.

I was your treasured secret 
and as you wished, I never said a word.
Just listened faintly for the next echo 
asking me again to dreaded dark,
where you yourself spoke often and I listened, 
knowing soon by heart your murmered mantra...

"sshhhhhhhh... you are loved by me...

Honey child I declare I day you will not believe what my little ole eyes did see.
Walking down the street was this tree like girl with arms that look just like a gorillas
she had hair all over them. That stuff was growing up and curling...

The heavens declare God’s glory

As the body without the spirit is dead
So too the moon is dead 
It has no light of its own
Without the light of the sun 
She cannot shine and give light
In the darkness

So too as the sun rises
In newness each day
So...
