Best Hole Poems

This piece was sparked by an idea in a fellow poet Tom Woody’s’ — “Last Dance Amid the Stars.”  I however, followed a very different emotional path — one that avoids finality and leaves room for mystery and one’s own imagination. The story also...

The Hole Deep in One’s Own Heart

In moments of greatest loss, sadness and sorrow,
A hole forms so deep within one’s own heart;
There it shall remain so for each ‘n every morrow,
Until life’s end when comes our Heavenly depart!

My dearest, such times of tribulation define us...

The astronaut saw the black hole
And suddenly feared for his soul 
He chose to die brave
And gave life a wave
And as he went in he cried, “Goal!”

The astronaut clung to his pride
As his atoms were spread far and wide
And he nearly cried
Because as he died...

This is the donkey; Alice

                 ... follows the rabbit into a hole in the ground

The distance between us is like a pencil line drawn on a page
like steam in air

like the drop of water that captures in its soul 
the light

It is like water in the wash cloth
but also like that one ice cream drip that gets away and...

Framed by affections,
unlocked, waiting...
weathered of vibrant 
thoughts and dead bolt
delusions

A portal of desperate
desires and relinquished
pain, for the light
through my cracks and crevices 
now shines

My heart is hinged…
eternally by brass pins of endless dreams,
tightly fitting into
the perfect grooves of
your love

Twist with simple ease
my handle, dull and...

She's got a big blue hole
In her soul
Where she stores all her tears
And her fears
The place where she goes to
When she's blue

Red hole is for anger
Within her
Where she stores raging ire
Livid fire
When she's mad, she goes there
That's quite rare

There's a black hole within
Makes her spin
Where...

The Fishing Hole
by Jason Williams


Twenty years is quite a while.
And yet I still reminisce and smile,
thinking of those carefree times,
that we trekked and we climbed,
over fenceposts and through pasture,
to reach the fishing hole.

Oh, how I remember those hikes.
And the glow of the warm sunlight.
The smell...

 Black Hole Beauty

Stay calm my beating heart for you will enter the vastness of the void
Consumed by a blackened bestial bliss that the demons have deployed
She comes amidst the narcissistic night devouring love like a humanoid
A conqueror of time and space the light before...

I am the stillness 
beyond a spiral vortex
the eye of the storm...

Down the rabbit hole
I fell hard and I went deep
I need to dig out

she tricked him,
she baited her,
her soft steps,
leaving no trail,

when she ran off,
the only thing they saw,
was her,
fuzzy bunny tail,

her intentions were hidden,
a clever disguise,
masked beneath,
her evil human eyes,

she was determined,
to take them all,
the big ones,
but especially the small,

after all, who could argue,
when the bunny wiggled...

the weight
of your expectations
crush me


 "A black hole is a hungry beast ... It swallows up everything too close, too slow or too small to fight its gravitational force." ~JoAnna Klein/Dennis Overbye

Come my friend and let me lead you on 
a voyage to the singularity
where mind and world collide.

For what is the mind?
A filter that selects and connects
   the world as it varies
with all its cues and views?
   Or is it a...

Now I’m ninety solar masses and I grow as I accrete
all the inter-stellar gasses near my neighbors when we meet.
My doctor says I’ve grown too fat too fast, “… it’s unsustainable!”
But I’ve big plans for a big blast that I know is attainable:

I’ll do the...
