Best Digging Poems

A debris  engulfs this mind
when a chuckle, a pirouette, a dream
ransacks  wired thoughts--
and for once, I am a shrill :
Though  weight presses on  hardened back,
images  dig   dig through shovels of the past
to unearth replays from a year ago--

I've
been on
here for hours
since I joined up,
reading all types of
poems and responding
to many souls. I've found stones
and I've found diamonds in the rough.
But if you're here reading this right now,
then I can bet I've found a precious gem!

Digging 'taters by headlights
Can be a bit of a trick
Having to feel in the ground for spuds
Becomes the best approach

Headlights makes shadows
Shadows are darkness
Darkness doesn't give much vision

It is a faith of sorts to feel in the dirt
pushing the thought of a snake
or toad out...

I'm one of many people with shovels in the sand.
Some even go digging the crude way by hand.
In the estuaries, it is now low tide.
There are sandbars that the waters hide.
Buried in the sand are those round white shells.
Hunters are hoping that the number swells.
How...

We're all a mess,
Migrating towards the same cold spot.
I remember you through summer eyes,
Touching toes and tickling noses.
Yellow is the color of memory,
Shining bright in our die hard need to stay present.
What angles of the mind,
Tricks of the cerebellum.
Saw you on the swing of the...

Those magic moments
             we missed and are above

We can not control the actions of other people
But we can control how we react 
We can show restraint and dignity
By keeping ourselves intact

People will show you their true stripes
And will continue to play their games
All the while saying they are different
When in fact they...

intelligence diverge upon starlight

shrouded in extrubiant relight

             candles melter in resplendent swelter


    i belt out a belting belter


wax drip drop drips on burned lips
swinging out swingsets from smashed and cracked...

The Summers were hot in the suburbs of our city,        
 We had a small sandy yard, a few toys and a kitty.               ...

A black cat dig effortlessly,
for gold, he insists,
just keep letting my nails open,
past, quietly, rushing,
six, ten,
unbelievably, very well,
'xtract your zillions....

From the dark depth of the ocean
To the harrowing pit of the abyss
Or the fiery scorching nadir of hell,
Nothing is deeper than 
the numbing pain of a broken heart.

Speechless and scattered 
As the hole began to formulate, 
Bruised and severely battered 
As the pain increased in weight. 
The crevice continued to expand 
Frightening actually how I became, 
Suddenly trapped in the ignited land 
Stuck inside what became a flame. 
My burning heart felt...

Pete a polite gentleman from Marsden
Everyday he works out in his garden
While digging something did squirm
Found he'd disturbed an earth worm
Pete said "Sorry I do beg your pardon."


The worm replied "Hello and good day"
Then fast wiggled and went on its way
Mouth open and in shock
Pete...
