Best Grime Poems

The Grim Reaper, stirs from another well earned day of heavenly sleep
From within the bowels of this cavernous earth, from his cave so deep

His cloak and scythe, been cast to one side in an unceremonious heap
From last night’s hard work of collecting souls in the...

She stands by the door waiting for 
her to come, the days finally here 
going home with her mum. 

She's 4 now, almost a year to the 
day, since the childrens aid workers 
came to take her away. 

When she was taken her mom was...

Feeble steps
Eyed the plum
Nestled
In a cesspool of grime
His eyes they twinkled
Tongue salivating
It's been long
The hunger so strong
End of the road
For a body so cold
The car came screeching
Out popped a head
Here take this dime
Now stop your whine
His heart it panicked
The plum in smithers
Now there are no...

Put you to sleep
And six feet deep
Instead of turning the other cheek

Toss you in a box of pine
Where the light never shines

Meanwhile, close by masses pray at a shrine
Every Sunday at nine
Eating a cracker and taking a drink of wine

 As the planets occasionally align
Since...

My heart is glimmering glass, 
Shattered in your hands
Our love grew like green grass…
On many terrestrial lands

I am a diamond of imperfection…prone to rejection…

Make me whole and beautiful 
Because I’ve been an empty soul
A worthless, worn-out bowl…
Or dust from overheated coal 

Sorry if I made...

Travel through my mind

maybe you will find

the real me through time

all I have in this life of mine

is my family and a rhyme

one day we hope to shine

hope we will be doing fine

another day passes we look behind

realize how long we have been on the...

R-emain in the holiness
O-f your heart and mind; 
W-ith your life in order, 
E-vil deed is left behind.
N-o more walk in disarray, turn a blind eye to sin; 
A-ugust fifteenth Tuesday, let the vow begin.

Y-our promise is to obey
E-ach word of God every time; 
U-se...

Grime under the table cloth

Beneath the fluorescent lights and sterile walls, 
Lurks an undercurrent of unspoken strife. 
The daggers are kept hidden, the words unsaid, 
But the tension is palpable, 
A throbbing wound. 
For all the forced cordiality, 
the animosity seethes underneath.

You do Poetry
I try to do rhyme
But my beats do not shine

My son George 
Well he does Grime
140 beats a minute at double time

Until the day we do meet
And you knock me off my feet
I will just carry on marking time

One step up and one...

Epigram #62:  

GRIME


Weary days bring strain
Dreary feel frames pain
Dusty grime speaks plain

Sinking into the soil of his egocentric ocean
Snarled and sniveled the cephalopod mollusk
Since to be worthy of his charming prey
Sensation beaming from his passion blasting
Suspending her from being aware of drowning
Stunning to sight her lapse into squandering
Sloshing in intense sadness and deceitfulness

My grimy grill,
Is really quite,
Summer’s delight,
And if used right,
Is very much a thrill.

It’s not just meat,
That’s off the hook,
For if you look,
You’ll see I cook,
My veggies over heat.

The greasy grates,
They hold the food,
That will conclude,
With gratitude,
Once I put onto plates.

The fires burn,
On down below,
And cooking...
