Best Hard Times Poems

When hard times come they sit a spell,
Like kin folk come to stay
A-packin' troubles, pets an' kids
That always get ‘n your way.
It's drought an' flood, an' flood an' drought,
There ain't much in-between.
You work like hell to make ’em good,
But still they’re sorta lean.

The ranch went...

So many sad faces
To many broken hearts
All these familiar faces
Without any facial expressions
They anguish and depression
Has me asking questions
Is money and greed
Mankind greatest obsession
Aggression and oppression
Is giving a bad impression
All these parliament sessions and still no confession
In reading and hearing about these conversations
All I can...

The kids are in bed - there are dishes to do
Some washing, ironing, paperwork too
Children, office, housework, sometimes I think life’s hard
But it isn’t really, not when it’s compared
To my mums, who rose up early and who was never late
Lighting the coal fire, sitting in...

Manchester, born and bred, within a stone throw from the city centre
One of a family of nine kids and our mother as our mentor
In a place called Hulme, full of vagabonds and snot nosed scruff bags
Rope  for belts, football boots with studs cut of...

We have had tragedies and troubles.It has been very
hard on all of us.All of us are blaming each other for
what is happening.I know we all have...

But damn…sometimes it’s like I get so tired of always being let down, that looking forward to things is nothing but a childhood feeling that has grew old

It will spin you around never knowing when you'll hit the ground
Here I stand alone thought I had friends but nun as I look around

No laugh without tears
No calm without fears
No justice without crimes
Good times and hard times

No clean without stain
No relief without pain
Confusion breeds rhymes
Good times and hard times

No profit without cost
No found without lost
Cold winds ring the chimes
Good times and hard times 

Thus I learn to rejoice
When...

Love
When it hits you like a ton of bricks
Wham!

You're down for the count
1.2.3...
You're up!

Your eyes rise to the sky
only to catch a falling star
for a split second

Whoosh!
Then  it's gone

You walk away
beat
then you see your old buddy Jack
"Jack!"
you shout out
and he shouts back too

You go...

I wish I wasn't dissapointment
wish I wouldn't hurt them more
if I could I'd give them ointment
healing sores I caused before.

yet down, so growing's slow
the past; I sure did grow tough
from forgetting my first home.

~little house up on the shore

I bow down to the great Dickens
Whose name has touched every soil,
And whose art has touched every soul,
His  art "Hard Times" has travelled far and wide
When at last built it's castle at Sherubtse college,
Fortuitous me, met his art in the class
And heard all of...

I felt it like the storm
I called it my trying times
During my dying time.
In rear times.

But the moon looked at me with pity
As the Sun wished it could dry my tears 
By shining so brightly.

My pain wrapped itself around me
Like a blanket around a suckling...

Right Turns Hard Times
David J Walker

Only a scooter as if 
a Scooter 
       was just a toy

The memory disguised 
as an errant thought
Brought tears of joy

To a man returning to a boy
Before he could possible 
die alone at home...

I'm making myself preparing for that times
The times  I'll spend without you anon.
Feeling a love that's something above 
From heavens, the sky that makes you alive
Oh dear god please bless us this time 
To not feel loneliness inside.

Being together feels like forever
And learning to...
