Best Drag In Poems

Anyone who mountain bikes on a wilderness trail,
especially where wildlife predators are known to prevail,
are all performing a very unsafe and dangerous thing,
that could end fatally or seriously life threatening.
Wildlife preditors like bears have very poor vision,
so when they see a blur moving fast off...

A lot said of Almighty’s modeling
Just a few minutes to lunchtime ding
Persons like thee make any evidence of such perish 
You came out hot from a specific idea
From the horizon of my world
Your image burns like the Maghreb sun

As a mortal of black earth that...

Wintertime, and the snow is now falling.
Trees are bare, and the wind blows through them
Holes in the cabin, and we feel like its freezing.
Dad must bring some good warmth to all of us.

Drag in some thick logs, and the fireplace is ready.
Then, we’ll surely find...

“A Cheeky Business”



Hot 
Cross
Buns

You 
smile when 
She’s crazy mad

She’s 
so 
cheeky

all Her
bullets 
are diamonds

She
makes you 
laugh out loud

when you are
grey skies
sad

She's 
a terrible
poet 

kind of 
cute

kind of 
good

kind of
bad

Bags upon bags upon piles within piles of bags
Yes, teachers are the ultimate bag-ladies.
Rarely but occasionally a bag-man steps into our midst
But here at the elementary school it is usually women
Who drag in carrying bag upon bag upon pile upon pile upon bag.

I meet them...

Living in the now of which I claim
Tomorrow is just a waiting game
A day we think of so much that never came
Of living my life in the moment I proclaim
'One day' takes all the blame
The basis for fear and shame
For I am here and now
Playing...

Death
will come
to all who
pay their taxes.
The love of money
only creates
a deadly
fiscal
drag.


Fiscal drag in economics is the process by which, during inflation, rising incomes draw people into higher tax brackets, so that their real incomes may fall; this acts as restraint  (death) to the expansion...

We sleep deep with eyes reflecting sudden drag in turmoil

We lament then run full circles in distant fantasy parked by its brevity
In sleepless nights frozen conclave we insist that we get our way;
Shapes of frightened cold unleashed sway;
Colors flourishing in ambiance tempered in modest excursion

Alone on an island far and free,
Life survives amid the sea. 
Neither wind nor swirling sand can tempt,
Life from its heavenly tent.

No life is safer no joy more complete
Than be from beneath the tempter’s feet. 
Hunger and thirst entice the soul 
Within the flesh they...

When the dusk conquers the whole...
The flowers drag in its petal whorl...
As the sun hides in the distant dark cloud...
The deserted streets exclaim its pain aloud...
When all the clouds come closer in sky and darken..
Pearl like rain drops eagerly fall to have fun...
They join together,grow...

The smoke filling up the crowded room;
I drag in the rain.
I hear strangers talking but they have nothing to say.
Outside I waited and she never came.

I wonder if she only leaves to hide away from me,
And comes back when she’s bored enough to need.

All at...

My shadows are tender and easy to miss,
Like a smile seems innocuous, stealthy as kiss,
Still these shadows add weight, create drag in our life,
Though they rarely, if ever, cut deep like a knife!

Too, sunlight wracks havoc though most never feel
All its subtle intrusions till later...

touch me sky... as you touched him
 spiraled cathedrals of twirling color
eyes dare not see.... in voices
the deaf drag in silence... screeming
there pears in the mud.

Van Gough heard them cry...
his sacred fingers to feel the knife
that slung his spirit to those stars
and(............. i,  ...

How funny it all is
we ended up not even talking about this
bitterness consumed our souls
confusion persuaded us to be so low
We fought for pennies
Disposed collections 
Became enemies
Severed our interaction
We made a big scene
then ran away 
to reset our minds
to a new dream

I guess in the...

Whoever knew days could drag in this way
Could take a whole lifetime to dawdle away
So slothic and languid, persistant to stay
Feels like you've been gone now for infinate days

I remained diligent, I occupied time
Busied myself between structure and rhyme
This lack of connection seems almost a...
