Best Faucets Poems

Halloween - Jeepers Creepers

Zany zombies lumber and stumble on streets,
as vain vampires stalk for bloody treats.
Syrupy blood oozes from water faucets,
and gory goonies crawl out of cob-webbed closets.

Best time of year for the terrifying undead,
with menacing monsters lurk under every child's bed.
Ghastly ghouls and fearsome...

Cottage in the Wood

Arms crossed, pacing back and forth
poking and prying in every corner
peering in closets, turning on faucets
humming softly and talking to yourself
You glanced back at me and smiled 
knowing you had found our place
our place to grow old together
our cottage in the wood

I...

“The Lost Daughter”



Thursday walked through the doors on a Tuesday
She sat in the Waiting Room, 
the place smelled too sterile, 
Antiseptic wash, 
rank clean with soaps of fine lyes 
no rugs to sweep bulldust under
such shiny spotless floors, 
All open doors
Effective, efficient, 
cold and distant
No...

The faucets are dripping
I get so nervous that I can’t stop shaking
It’s like a cold steel dream
I know you can’t stop it 
But it’s the mechanical thing
That scares me.
Drip, drip, drip
Is it really that bad
To bring people into my house
I doubt it 
But I can’t...

Waves on the rocks 
a'crashing
In it human feet go 
splashing
And elsewhere in the 
swollen river
'gator tails go thrashing
Water may be stagnant 
or it may be thus moving

Sometimes softly 
dripping
at times forcefully 
gushing
In brooks babbling
In streams gurgling
In springs bubbling
In rivers running

From faucets freely 
flowing
or from pipes...

Saturday mornings my list was quite clear,
Pull out the comet and toilet bowl brush.
Windex, perfect to polish the mirror,
Finish the toilet with one final flush.

Scrubbing the sink till faucets do glisten,
Empty the countertop, free from clutter.
Scour the bathtub, with so much ambition,
While under my breath,...

It’s said she’s an angel in disguise.
She grew up in a small French town,
Playing on her Re’ island’s shores.
She’s a mother now, and all that implies,
Routinely going about her nightly chores, 
After working in the neighboring town.

Like many other soldiers’ wives,
Moving yet to another Army...

My faucets run cold, what IS this about?
My hot-water-heater-tank pilot light's out!
Press down that red button and click 'til I pout
Then spew out a string (my religion in doubt)

My stove-top still lights, I can still take a bath!
Boil three piping pots full (I HOPE that...

Flint 
Within its brilliance gleaming
Cool black in lacquered polished silver chrome
Cranked up pistons bleached in summer’s heat
Hot steam rising as gears thundering
Beyond the crystal liquid city lights
Highways built across the land
In hearts felt pride American dreams made real
Within its prime
Men in factories perfect their craft
Spit...

***Crazy Menagerie***


I definitely bit off more than I could chew,
when I came a-running to my friend's rescue
He said it was no big deal, a real snooze actually
to just please, please look after his cutie menagerie

He said everything was pretty much self-explanatory
just feel at home, and...

No one knows the hour of Christ’s return.
And when he comes to earth what will He find?
A place where man and creatures co-exist
Or places where the greed of man confines?

Has man replenished Earth as God commands?
Using what he needs, taking nothing more?
Or has he ravaged...

Subsistence defined by need, not want
A time when provisions made to survive
With no barriers; wealth not reality
Now a time when commercialism shadows death. 
Purchase for consumption; nothing is free
Their poisons inserted, to see growth spiral
Populations diseased; their hunger satisfied
Success not a work of art, but...

Singing gently sneaks inward
often taking us unaware with
unusual new tones and nontones.
Note how wild wind flutters leaves
driving ears to stand and snatch
soft sounds of cool air tapping.

An unexpected blast booms when
boiled water readily rumbles
on key, sputters and splashes.
Uncap water’s playful plop
near full faucets or its...

Each of us has a unique set of memories when we think of someone.  Each of us has our 
own "piece" of him that we take through life.  These few are just some of the memories I 
keep as treasures of my brother,...
