Best Eavesdrops Poems

A cute gentile pig in New York
plays hopscotch over turtle hurdles
which eased her bunny
until a smack talking turkey announced,
'Did you hear how the skunks in bombay
lost a spelling bee - to an
artistic aardvark named clark?'

Around her, muttering mosquitoes
Dear teddy bear, my teddy bear
While a mynah...

Green!
Alive
on tall grass,
blithe, lithe, limber,
swaying long and lean
in their beachy masses.
The deadpan sand eavesdrops as
breezes wave blades like silk banners.
Whispers whir with emerald voices;
long-winded grass gossiping with zephyrs....

He clears his throat with a loud 
"please-see-me" noise
As he eavesdrops on my half
Of a phone call from a boy.

He thinks bad things about me
And my friends who drink and smoke
As if he lived his life alone,
A halo as his cloak.

Our memories are not the...

A mind of plane mirrors reflects rays of goodness.
It is weightless and indeed stainless,
in it right has a huge castle decorated in flowers of deeds,
roofed in kindness and painted in honesty.

Corruption knows it’s a waste of time
when it comes with its convincing lips and encroaching...

Observe Pacific blue butterflies,
  using no words, yet they can speak. 
Oblivious, they pollinize
  they're beautiful and their bearing's meek.

Using no words, yet they can speak 
  Kitty eavesdrops as nature translates.
They're beautiful and their bearing's meek -
  butterflies and...

She walks with her head held up in the clouds,
forgetting that pride comes before a fall.
She is curious and a bad gossiper.
She eavesdrops on other people's conversations,
not bearing in mind that "curiosity killed the..." 

Naughty behavior she possesses almost makes majority puke.
Look no further than...

Amidst speaking and listening
Blue shirts fly in cool breeze
Calling the pleasure pulsating
Dollops of cream from fridge

Eavesdrops curious time
Finding some dancing lakes
Grey surrounding mankind
Hands sharing pink shakes

Indulgent minds unconscious
Jasmine-rain steps in
King-size gladiolus
Loves lyrical whispering

Moments of life time memory
Not stopping the sunflower words
Of the delightful discovery 
Prodding...

My sweet baby sister (AKA the traitor)
Has radars for ears and the mind of a spy,
She eavesdrops, twists facts, and then tattletales,
And proudly serves mom an elaborate lie.

I sweet talked, I begged, I bribed then I threatened,
Locked her in the bathroom and turned off the...

As Midnight plays his haunting tunes,
The music drifting on the breeze,
The woodland creatures come to hear,
The moon eavesdrops behind the trees.

The magic fills the moonlit woods,
And tiny sprites and fairies dance.
He plays until the break of day,
When Sunrise joins in with her chants.

Invited, she waits with hands on doorknob,
hears her boyfriend talk inside, she eavesdrops.
She rues not being clever,
for her party is over,
for she knows he is a deceiving snob.

A young girl eavesdrops
On her parents one day
And found out that
They were the head 
Of the mafia and plans
To have her killed 
Dispose of her body in
Back of the cemetery
Behind rose hill
So, she runs to 
A friend's house
Shaking with fear
Crying and regretting
What she had heard
about...

Unique
Like dogs
Totem 
Of owl
Sees through the veil of psychic darkness
And eavesdrops upon the silent moon...

She sits on the park bench
a flock of pigeons carrying her memories away.
An unleashed dog sat with her a while
Left to chase a squirrel
The well-dressed pass her by
As if she wasn’t there.
A child in a carriage
Gives her a “queenly” wave,
She listens,
Eavesdrops
As Fall whispers
Scattered secrets
To fallen...

I listen to my neighbors toilet flush,
it takes a long time for the sound
to drain away and refill,
I settle deeper between my ears
cognizant of the cadence
of its slow rise and fall.

The trash compactor chews on
for a grinding stretch after I switch it off.
Uncomfortably heated body-bellows...

"As she drinks nectar from a flower, sweetness from heaven falls like dew  
anointed with a gentle rain amidst sun showers she appears as if on cue
 
Lifting her wings she lands on a Zinnia beneath a tinted sky of April blue 
flight of...
