Best Grinning Poems
The Grinning Cheshire CatWhat lies behind that grimacing catty coy smile, it’s upside down
Thinking perplexes me mentally, topsy-turvy confusions beastly
Kitty, popping off riddles to confound all humanity’s realistic
Way of thinking!
Swishing his feline tail with utter cat flatting happiness, a word to the
Wise my dearest sweet Alice beware,...

GrinningOne night at my house a strange man had got in
When I asked him to leave he gave me a grin
I called the authorities who were of no use
He slipped out the back door, a man on the loose
But then he returned as soon as...

Ballad
Your Grinning DollsYour dolls grin in my summer
melted silver plastic sin
and I heard a crow caw
all for my belated needs
I never intended life
finding my self six feet deep
My pall bearer lover-needs
me and my simple sweet soul!
All for you I oiled...

Spinning, Grinning, Winning~*~
Spinning
slashing swirling
powerful tornado
lightning bolts, thunder and sirens
Spinning wind sounds like a train, head Spinning
homes spun to the land of Oz
a whole town blown away
dizzy head still
Spinning

Grinning
dazed and confused
does not look like...

Just Stood There GrinningJust stood there grinning
Watching fools pass by
Being what they pretend
Hiding from own reality
Lost in false impressions
More valued than dignity
Laughing for sake's effect
Happy yet truly sad
Wrapped in plastic surroundings
Slipping up drooling slopes
Talking to hear themselves
Deaf to any answer
Hair blowing in breeze
More concerned with style
Than what lies...

Grinning Like a PossumGrinning Like a Possum
By Elton Camp
The president seems to be well pleased
At the last second, victory he seized
The filthy rich will fork over more
The middle class about as before
His enemies blocked him at every turn
So this tax struggle was hard to earn
The wealthy may well...

The Enlightening Encomium of Grinning Garrick Beauregard, Or, a Sailor's DeathNo towering, flowering landlocked tree
Will weep for the waning life of thee
Forgive them, friend, they never saw you smile
Forgive them, friend, they never saw you smile
To mistress maritime were you married
For her you lived, so to her be buried
Below the surface of sorrowful sin
Where above...

The Grinning Tears That Held the Shade of Southern Suicides.There was the capture of life somewhere inside his eyes...
We wiped away tears in the slipping of secrets, and I remembered the draw of suicide as
the shade of Southern Octobers grasped me in his glance.
He pursued me, his kiss and his smile the nets that...

Just They'Re GrinningThis cold night bites
They have just turned off the
lights
My head is spinning
they’re just grinning
Is this actually
real?
Tommorow will I be able to feel?
I wait and wonder and cry some
more
trying to rise from the cold floor
They could hear my...

Grinning At the Thought of Fingers“Caps for sale, fifty cents a cap!”*
But that was just the crowning lie,
my pinnacle tooth should be solid gold!
Oh, if the truth could be sold -
And I feel so old…
So my crown not quite queenly,
feels unnatural, quite unseemly.
I will give it a speedy test drive
and...
