Best Flat Poems

I decided to turn around this morning,
stop spooning away the day 
Forget about mother nature, 
look much deeper into the grey
I could see late night approaching, 
and planet Earth speeding away 
When the unimaginable happened, 
God spoke! this is what he says

Your journey through life...

It's funny
How did a computer
A silly computer
A flat screened computer
Become my obsession?
I wake up
There it is
Waiting
Begging 
Inticing
"Turn me on"
"play with my buttons"

I look at the bright screen
Remembering the Poltergeist warning
"Don't go into the light"
But it's so pretty!
I'm sure I'll be alright 

Eyes see
Pupils dilate
Pulse quickens
As...

A randy old fella named Jack
Always went sleep on his back
His todger would rise
Right up to the skies
It’s only a woman he’d lack!

Flat Stanley needed some time off
to have a little fun.
Cassidie thought her grandpa
would be the very one
to show him the sights and glories of
a great metropolis.
So she sent him off to Seattle
with a farewell wave and kiss.

Now I don't know all that Grandpa did
to show...

Secretly;
Not seen or felt.
A soft melody.

Gently;
picking up pace.
It sings to me.

Amazingly;
tells a tale.
Calm and sweetly.

Tenderly;
notes drift in and out.
Feelings emotionally.

Quietly;
It fades slowly away.
The final note ring....

The house across the street 
This evening has no light.
It lost its last heart beat
From within when they took sweet
Ninety five year old grandma to a nursing home over 
on Wright.
The house across the street
That was made with love from concrete
Has said good night.
It lost...

I open my eyes.
All around me,
everything is unfamiliar:
unfamiliar wallpaper,
unfamiliar white leather sofa,
unfamiliar country.
I moved here to teach,
and here I am learning
that I’m underprepared,
underqualified,
underdressed,
and hungover.
 
He wouldn’t let me leave last night,
you see.
As the party was dying,
I coloured his bathroom
with oversweet Georgian wine
and washed down chicken...

OK,   IT’S   FLAT

To say Saskatchewan is  flat 
Is like saying a woman is fat :
A  superficial judgement 
Which denies all her other allurement. 
Oh,  what wonders are in glorious Sask?
I hear everyone breathlessly ask.
Only  the lake with...

In my urban habitat,
On a bridge’s ramp,
Heard a noise like rat-a-tat,
Giving me a cramp.

Taxi driver passed my way,
Pointing to my wheel;
Couldn’t hear, with traffic’s fray,
What miles would soon reveal.

Soon I felt familiar thumps – 
Oh no! My tire is flat!
Riding over highway bumps
Tempts rubber to...

Skippity doo, skippidy dat,
I jumped over my pussycat,
Doing it just once more
I slipped upon the polished floor,
Now pussy looks quite flat....

Called meeting of Flat Earth Society 
The Enclosed Earth theory must refute
As well Hollow Earth theory to dispute
and that dag nab round earth futility

It's clear as dirt we must confute
That old thingamajig gravity
Which with not our abacus compute
So how can we on an earth agree

Such...

How about that just sat on our cat
She screeched bloody murder, so sorry bout that
Love this dear sweetie
Made me all weepy
With my hulking big body, I squished our cat flat

Cat lover Laura Lottie was much too fat
a chair was in jeopardy if on it she sat.
She was six ax handles wide
people quickly stepped aside.
But not seeing the cat, on it she sat--splat....
