Best Flapping Poems

Flapping in the wind

bouncing to and fro

hanging on by  a thread

knowing shortly I'll let go

I remember when . . .

that day you brought me home

I was so fresh and new

bright and bold

bounded tight

 you'd cinch me up

I'd keep you warm at night

As time went...

Flapping Away

Ron said he needed a new place to stay.
From his apartment, he’d be cast away.

I offered my couch, thought he’d stay a week,
not settle down like a well-worn antique.

It wasn’t long before complaints ensued;
my cooking, my clothing – what’s with this dude?

His cigar smell...

Terza Rima Sonnet On the Boston Marathon bomb blast: 
     On a festive flag-flapping day of fun

   for the victims of blind bombs all over the globe

On a festive flag-flapping day of fun
Two brothers back-packed with hot nails in...

Harsh are the winters
in North America and one
must drink hot coffee
or chocolate to revive 
himself, not to let his bones
freeze and possibly crack.

By a window frosted with snow,
one sees mountains and vallies,
even an occasional hungry deer,
or a groaling scary grizzly bear
looking in the open trash...

Trump Mouth Flapping

Found Trump's mouth again to be flapping
At what he had said everyone was gasping
And could not tell truth from a puny pun
Played with our minds and was having fun
My memories of him seem to be lapsing.

Flapping wings

   The extinct bird of evil
   survived in the mindset of many,
   Flapping its wings
   casting dark shadows
   of things to come.
   Trump, I hear you say,
   the show starter

I sense their presence within me
and actually hear their descend;
I pause for a second and listen: they are following me
with close footsteps to safeguard me from any fiend!


O guardian angels,
never lose sight of me until day dies...
ever guide me on deserted roads
under starless skies!
I may...

A wise old owl this duffer's become
Trying to appear brilliant, flapping my gums
At times what comes out
Gobbly guk creating doubt
Bout the power of my brain or am I just a bum...

Moments remembering
The ripple on the water
As they plunged together
Blue sky God laid
Magical day
White butterflies
All kinds
Lord Your Kingdom is wonderful
No other beauty resembles
Birds whistle and song
Every note belongs
We are honored to see
As my Lord left for thee
To help others find healing
Through comforting feelings
Jesus Christ' heart
Remains the...

Penguins standing proud;
Wings flapping as if to fly–
The ocean waiting:-

Penguins flapping wings…
Ducks floating in the ocean…
Splash! Ducks fly away…

Beneath the water,
Wing-flapping penguins soaring;
Landing at the shores:-

** Shopping Center Blackbird **

He, rising in defense of the others,
Presenting himself, to all with ears 
To hear and before all eyes,
The black, flapping silhouette atop
The silver, double-bulbed street lamp;
This loudest shrieking,
Not to be ignored
Blackbird,
Appearing actually, 
Half the size of his declaring all
This territory his...
