Best Gram Poems
A gram of a good deed is worth more than a myriad grams of good intentions!

One gram, yes one gram, that’s all it took,
The mass of a one dollar bill.
It’s enough to make you healthy, too,
When you swallow a little green pill.
One gram, just a small little mass,
Less than a paper clip.
It’s one third that of a coin,
Or a hundred dollar black poker chip.
One gram can also hold so much,
A hundred gigabytes in a USB port.
And it’s the weight of a small metal nib,
Used in a human rights court.
One gram, yes one gram, that’s all it took
When dropped on a Japanese hill.
One gram of plutonium for a hundred thousand lives,
To murder, to slaughter, to kill.
Spread on the vast farm,dew-drenched grasses as soft as silk,
Embrace the bright sun rays, and glow like some gleaming milk!
On the frolic colourful flowers, fickle the frivolous butterflies!
Mingles with the brown land, on the horizon, the endless sky!
With red-golden flaunting fruits, smother the mild mango trees,
While sitting on the leaves less peepal, sing the nightingale in spree!
Sweet soft blackberries blossom, blushing berries turn reddish,
Bloom melon, lemon, turnip, tomato, cabbage and white radish!
Wild flouting flock of fauna, play in the lap of laughing land,
The fat and gluttonous watermelon, grow well in the Ganga sand!
Cranes standing in still water, like a hermit thinking deep,
Swans are floating in water, owls are snoring in the sleep!
The children and farmers in the farm , working hard for their dreams,
The autumn withered lazy woods , waiting for the spring it seem !
Like a open carton of pearls , filled with all the beauty we can find ,
Village with nature , sweet , serene , is enchanting all human mind !
This is only the translation with some additions and changes, please read original poem Gram Shree by Sumitra Nandan Pant which is very very captivating poem , it's in 9 th class NCERT Book.
Sit down clown and drown your sound bubble before I puncture it with my slam,
I'll show you an epic wham bam epigram 'cus I am the lion and you're a lamb,
your jam lacked glam like expired meet attached to smelly feet and moldy ham,
It was so lame that I wonder if you're insane, maybe you should book an exam.
You added to the pain in my brain with each row as the flow wasn't on show,
you managed to increase the decrease over again and couldn't maintain a glow,
the lightbulb is dim or needs replacing because you're disgracing poetry with below
average rhymes that set a new standard of previously unobtainable shallow.
You don't seem to know it but trust me you're either rusty or just no poet,
it's time to pack it in or relentlessly practice and stop the plummet,
I've noticed you're a little bit hopeless so I'm hiding the rope so you know it,
you came along for the ride, lost your pride, so go and hide but suicide don't commit.
musical expressions - feelings,lost for words
i do some weird stuff
some stuff you wouldn't understand
because the thing is i'll do anything for a gram
I'll wash your clothes
pimp out your hoes
because everyone knows
i'll do anything for a gram
I'll babysit your kids
i'll discipline them to
because they isn't anything
i won't do for a gram
i'll wash your car
go dance at a nude bar
for a gram
there is no activity that is going to far
i just need a gram
of some sugar man
but all my neighbors had
was cocaine and heroin.
in improbable scenarios I like to prance about
filtered to the max with an enormous pout
my fingernails are fake and so are my giant boobs
I'm promoting useless product that I will never use
I'll say anything to get more followers on the ‘gram
I’m a narcissist unaware of how ridiculous I am
Poetry is easy to digest, than pride.
the poetry slam - pen viva voce
NOTE: A mono gram is a one line epigram style poem of not more than 17
syllables with a humourous/witty ,ironic or enigmatic theme. or thought or
contrast.Think of a senryu in contrast to a haiku.
What a funny sight
One not often seen these days
Gram in pink short shorts
Deep inside the misty trees
I see the wind and hear the breeze,
I know you're here I feel it's you
within my heart I know it's true,
The day you passed the pain was so deep
night after night I cried myself to sleep,
I know that your free and out of pain
I hope it washed away like rain,
A part of you I know I am
so again and again I Love you Gram.
In today’s crazy,
topsy-turvy world,
you do
what you gotta do,
pick up jobs as you can,
but I must say
it is a bit awkward
to do your job
taking ‘grams
door-to-door
only to find
that you must
land a kiss
on your boss’s lips…
