Best Fountains Poems

It was the Main Street hangout for the teenagers of its day.
For a nickel they could dream as they heard the jukebox play!
Wispy white metal chairs surrounded tables topped with glass.
(There were secluded booths where lads could woo their lass!)

From the tin covered ceiling hung...

Two crystal clear streams reach into the night
Give misty waves of intrigue to the eyes
Lazily falling from shadowy skies
Then explode in motion enhanced by lights
Suddenly the pool of water takes flight
Swaying and dancing, the droplets they shine
Those syncopated bursts perfectly timed
Sometimes in color, other times...

Carnage of unrelenting desert sun
Sun bakes, flora are impermeable
Impermeable unlike those who run
Run to hydration, inevitable

Inevitable crystallization
Crystallization of sweat on their brows
Brows no longer yield precipitation
Precipitation in their prayers, and how

How requisite drink does invigorate
Invigorate the flagging runner’s mind
Mind looks for something to alleviate
Alleviate sun,...

~Fountains Of Knowledge~
(Hotan)


Books are just awesome
They make my heart so happy
Help learn things I want to know
Much to read
Many things to learn
I'm excited
I want to know more
Many help me grow each day
Books bring inside many joys and dreams.

People are drawn to the water fountains
Water fountains are all different
They are round, square,oval short
 Yet a crowd always gathers here
Someone holds a coin-makes a wish
Then throws the coins-into the fountain
Hoping that their wishes made comes true
The fountain filled with coins 
No one knows which...

Water Fountains dancing to all kinds of music
And lights
Transform
The night
As they perform.

Did this conform with my idea of norm?
It was plain to my brain
That this was a unique form
In which to entertain.

Water fell back in to a water tight terrain
To go through the tubes to...

Presidential Library Fountains

By Elton Camp

Presidential libraries reveal the man
Both his foibles and his plan

A fountain stands in front of each
Facts about the president to teach

Nixon’s gives the viewer a little peek
Of a plumber while stopping a leak

Kennedy’s fountain looks a lot
Like a scene from Camelot

Johnson’s...

Out of the good
the bad emerges.
The cold wind bites.
The ocean surges.
Waves appearing
as big as mountains.
Like a toy boat
in the fountains.
Your miles from land
and it doesn't look good.
So you say a prayer to God
that's understood.
You've been here before
when all your hope died.
The promises were made.
I'm gonna...

Sorrow spoke the alphabet,
Turned upside down.
The little girl will bring, they said...
She will bring cemetery corruption.
Turned upside down alphabet.
Fountains will bloom executions down to the aqueduct.
Stripes arranged flat in the ground of the jail where pupils ran orange,
Lines across the story,
Tell her of her grave.
Blue...

i chased you around in circles
until we both were out of breath
you caught me a golden butterfly
and watched me as you let it go
we danced in forever fountains
and got caught up in our dreams
we told each other secrets
and made promises we could never keep
we kissed...

FOUNTAINS IN THE VALLEYS

I walked in the valley full of sin and shame
But did not admit it; others I would blame.
I saw many fountains in this valley wide,
Some I drank from freely and their taste I tried.
Something in those fountains made me thirst again,
So I...

Wishful Wonder

If you make a wish a thousand times to know the secret of the skies.
Will it take ‘til the cock crows for the elephant to share what he knows?
Is the answer hidden within the twinkle of one’s eyes? For this truly_ is where truth...

Drops of rain are so liquid allies
that embrace each other in a trance, in fever
come together to create fountains and river...
