Best Heave Poems

There's a Senior's home called the Shady Lane
    and life's curse is at an end.
Where a hundred souls are kept in line
    till Death its message sends.
They built a country... fought its wars, 
    giving everything...

The river floats, carrying me
away from nights, out to the sky,
where leaves are tossed, as whispers grow…
retracing hours, when memoirs beckon.

And sparrows fling above me now
my breathing grace enshrined in stone…
among the lanes and endless roads
this calling mild, so warmly dear.

I touch the flame of...

Young hands gripped the red raw rope,
For a fight to the ultimate death,
Each team to march, to a tantric tune,
Stabbing a stomp of feet with each breathe.

Ready, set, go! and the “Heave!” was heard,
The rope: a tightrope on which one could walk.
All attention and teamwork...

From Buffalo to San Francisco, 
from Fargo to El Paso, 
you don't need the tobacco. 
It has got to go.
Give it the heave ho.

Heave Me Back Home


He grasped the reins across the breadth of me,

recrossed his arms to control the whip and me.


My heart dares not stop, lest I be tangled in the mane.

Dare naught to break the pace of hooves, 


now that we've passed the inn, and...

If we want to live in a northern latitude,
to the winter’s weather, we must adjust our attitude.
In the cold temperatures, we have to thrive.
Keeping warm is what we need to stay alive.
I certainly never get any joys or thrills
when I have to pay higher heating...

Upon the arctic floor, I wait
Crouched and undefended
It's time, I guess, to accept my fate
And walk this road unaided
I heave my wasted body
from my final resting place
Stretch out my disused muscles
My first breaths resonate
The unaccustomed motion
feels like seeing to the blind
It seems it's been a...

Yo heave ho
People must pull together.
Yo heave ho
No matter what the weather.

Yo heave ho
No matter what skin or feather.
Yo heave ho
We’re all in this together....

M-ay you heave a sigh of relief, 
E-nding the hour of being blue; 
R-ight decision you have made. 
R-eally glad and happy for 
Y-ou. 

T-ime to heave a sigh of relief, 
A-s you have won over the strife; 
N-o more tears in your face, 
U-nfazed...

Lè yon fanm renmen ou
Ou pa ka fè anyen mal
Ou ka chame li ak yon ti chanson
Nan men ou, li pa bezwen anpil.

Lè yon fanm renmen ou
Mond lan sanble li trè bèl
Tout bagay anfò, an pinpan
Lè yon fanm adore ou.

Se tout ane a ki printan
Ti...
