Best Hard As A Rock Poems


Premium Member The Silence of Stone
Hard is the rock, yet it does roll, beneath the oceans
Swift currents its rough edges become smooth, rounded
But it makes no sound; it is the silence of stone.
Gray is granite, as markers grave marker, yet in times
Harshness the names that speak for a life lost,...

Their Queen Pheromones
"Their Queen Pheromones"

Nectar 
attracts 

foraging 
honey bees
with components 
of their 
Queen Pheromones

the butterflies beckon
their inner wasps
to sup on clover
four leafed, beds of velvet
green virgins unseen

herein slumbers
far too gone 
to lie in wait
love expells 
from his fevered pate

the crown of Lysander 

fragrantly torrid
oriental orchids 
for the...

Barefoot In the Bushfires of the Vanities
"Barefoot in the Bushfires of the Vanities"



Heat rises slowly to rapture flames licking and teasing
Blue Ghostgums to stretch and crack wide open
as Fire spreads molten sweet sap bleeding burgundy all over 
amber gold wild bush honey running freely down the rough wood 
of tall sombre...

Hippopotamoms'
Her love is a hot pot of oats
Radiating all the warm colour codes
Fuel for their endless conquests
Homing for her love requests

She lends them her wiser ear
Learns them her fine wear
She imparts her keener senses
To their lesser, commonsense(s)

Go my princess, go and find your toad
Leave breadcrumbs...

Premium Member Fertilizing My Garden
My cucumber needed hydrocarbon 
So, I thought to pee in my garden 
Thought my cucumber would grow 
But what did I know... 
My cucumber began to harden 

My tomatoes were as hard as a rock, true 
But I noticed they turned a dark blue 
When...

Miss Polly Had a Dolly
Miss Polly wanted a lolly that was thick, thick, thick,
So she begged the doctor to prescribe one quick.
Doctor gave her his candy stick, stick, stick,
And said “Please don’t bite, you must lick, lick, lick

She knelt  in a skimpy little frock, frock, frock,
And licked Doc’s...

As I Lay
As I woke up in the morning,
I didn't smell your sweet scent,
I miss your smile as you began to go down.
As our eye's meet,while you continue to eat.
The moan's you make,
as if your eating a piece cake.
You lick me like I'm a limondrop,
as I stroke...

Premium Member Inside the Clouds
Sometimes I wonder
About the puffy clouds
What is inside them?
Is it soft and smooth?
Or is it gooey sticky?
Or hard like a rock?

The clouds in the sky
I ponder about it
What makes the shapes?
How do they change size?
Do they change inside? 
I do ponder this

Does the color change?
Inside...

There's No Escaping Love
As sure as the sun will rise each morn,
And the flowers of all hues will bloom,
So will love find you soon,
For there's no escaping love!

You may hide in the toil of the day
And cower behind the veil of the night,
You may try every which way...

My Very Own Seeds
My time keeps ticking/ Fresh outta mind prison/ I still have a hard time trying to listen/
 I keep on walking yet I keep on tripping/ The pain in my brain heart thickens/ 
Redemption for change Im still missing/ 

Im still on the reservation/ Dont...

Safeguarding- Open Sea Contest
Safeguarding


In the blink of an eye
My world crumbled.
Catastrophe struck my life
Leaving me numb.

My soulmate, my childhood mate,
Whose shoulder I had oft wept on,
Who had remained steadfastly loyal,
Just vanished out of my life.

My soul mate loved sailing,
Always saying, 'The wind, my drifter,
Safer world it always leads...

Premium Member Cocoanut
(Event poem)

Fish a floating cocoanut from edge of Caribbean Sea
Hux the outermost part with machete
See its brown hairy shell hard as a rock
Pierce its eyes, which will rain healing water
Cut out the white meat for lunch or dessert
Create some ornament from its polished shell.

I, the Nonrobinhood
Why do I take from the poor, for the rich?
Why do I steal from those who I love?

Don't act like I don't remember, Mom,
When I disrespected my gifts from you.
I told you that Saint Nick got them.

If only I had known the truth.

You're hard as...

Premium Member A Funny Thing Happened On the Way To Poetry
A poet lost for words with writer’s block and barrage

		Playing with Lego in Copenhagen

Anderson’s mermaid hard on the rock

		Casting away the human soul

The artist failing construction in a mechanistic world

		Retrieving Meccano

The pea shooter’s jammed and sour gun

		Squirting marmalade

A philosopher's dislike of wisdom

		Playing in Epicures’ garden

A...

Premium Member Above the Clouds
When I gazed at the sky,
Was devoid of celestial bliss to the eye,
Pitch dark, as dark as a black lie.

Obscured 'above the clouds' were,
Moon of my emulations and stars of materialism,
Rising upto infinite expanse and unlimited realm.

Ambitions coursed like blood through me,
Material desires unending like...
