Best Double Decker Poems

(The memories are simple, living the feeling significant)

After conquering Beamsley Beacon due Southwest,
Rombald’s moor stood, while for centuries
within the valley the minute dwellings
of grey stone, brick and muck.
Main waterway, depending on era
town or sailor beck, though far from sea it be,
many a hour spent there,

Dazzling lights 
Throngs of people 
Walking through crowded streets 
  Reminds us of why we live here 
Costumed performers - Bright theatre marquees 
Seeing those sights brings happiness 
   to native and tourist alike 
  Autumn - a chill in the...

The loving people of our fair town needed a vacation one fine day.
I wasn’t about to argue with them, I’ve often felt the same way.
The journey was a family trip, with the entire menagerie along.
The Las Vegas Dragons, took us there, air Dragon was our...

My name is Bond, Els Bond, and I live in Africa where I was born and belong.
On my continent, I do not work solo – my entire herd shares my mission mojo.
Here, many human lives are needlessly spent from illness meds would prevent.

Spying, I learned...

Astride his father’s shoulders,
Like a double decker bus,
There...

On a cold frosty night the moon hung in the dark sky like a silver sixpence,
Waiting for a bus that seemed to be hours late, wind dried my face I was cold,
While leaning on the stop sign I could see into rooms through lighted windows,
All...

Memories Of The Sydney Tram

This fabulous road transport vehicle had it's humble beginnings
in the 1880s, were horses pulled the double-decker trams along
the various streets of Sydney, they moved pretty slow and the
people wanted to move at a much faster pace.
Soon to follow was the steam...

By the wayside
A story-teller charms;
Exquisite tale of old

~~~~~~~~~


Path of uncertainty
Change springs a cast;
Innovative ideas hurl

~~~~~~~~~


Loiter and linger
Upon these lonely shores;
Waves crash the beach

~~~~~~~~~


Listen for a glimpse
From unknown scenes;
Mellow music hints

~~~~~~~~~


Heavy mall traffic
Sea of faces swirling;
Waiting the sales kill

~~~~~~~~~


Bus number 197
Double decker sighted;
Bound for Alexandra Village

London at its best
Is on a cold rain day
Shrouded around grey
Sat on board a red double Decker bus
In search of the roads paved with gold
As Charles Dickens foretold
Great Expectations
In human relations
Are the elixir of life
But far more often truth be told
Reality is cold
Small comfort on...

I know I've been to Chicago,
     But I only remember the snow.
I know that I've been to Albuquerque,
     but I mostly just remember the hot marketplace
     with dried chilies twice the length of...

There once was a bus trip to taken
two groups was trouble in the making
All women, need I say more
whose beauty men could not ignore

Brunettes thought to be smarter
blondes needed to try harder
To this they were unaware
just trying to be fair

A massive double decker bus
to safety...

Trailblazing Then and Now

Astride his father’s shoulders
Like a double decker bus
There was always what his father saw
And the child’s gaze beyond
They learned together
What their senses taught them of reality

There were so many hills his father climbed
The boy seeing what was ahead on horizons
The father focused...

There once was a bold picidae*
Who pounded his beak just for play
on a double-decker
bus, now his pecker
resembles a flawed fricassee

(*picidae - woodpecker)...

Asphalt pours into road under melting rubber tires-
A horse with ribs like bars on a prison cell walks lazily under the suns oppression. 
Many people work for peanuts, unhinged cringes at the laughing ones working for bread.
Breathe in the road.
Its toxic, Intoxicating-Carcinogenic party.
Many creatures join,...
