Best Hooks Poems

It has been DECADES!

And yet, for some ridiculous reason, we 
still choose to TIE our shoes and
BUTTON our trousers, ZIP our
blouses.

How ridiculous.

When Man first invented the wheel, do 
you suppose that there were some naysayers who said;
"I'm still going to drag my loads through the...

S-hooks upon the lake,
Swimming swans gracing water
With their presence in June.

A stage of
Graceful performers
In a ballet.

I wrote this song as a sort of self-therapy. I've only just started up writing again, so I'd really really love criticism, in as much detail as possible if you have it or feel like giving it. Only one rule: please be polite and keep...

the boys were lazy
except when they wanted something
like your car
or food
or sex
oh yes sex
was a good motivater
for attention and detention
good thing I had a good appetite and could

if a girl could do all the work
that would be fine

You sit here where no one

Trembling dead roses
lost there beauty,

see you later
when the wind settles down
on a planet
neither of us belong to...

Will the sky topple inward
or the hills heap upwards
it I do not make these symbols
upon a snow-white field?

laying across a dusty road

SKYHOOKS

They pulled me up when 
I was mired in a quagmire
of rules and regulations,

They showed me the path 
to everlasting love
when no one believed 
it could ever endure.
They guided...

 I was made
To venture undulating time
 And chase the tides forever facing forward 
  Through glinting waves by unknown shores 

I migrate 
The oceans’ warm currents for 
Thousands of miles yearly,  continuing
Always onward, always embraced by water

I am
The mighty blue marlin mirroring...

I can be obsessive. For instance, last night I needed a command hook.
My mind couldn’t focus on “Principles of Biostatistics,” as fascinating as that book is, because I needed this $3 command hook to hang my keys by the door.

There’s a table by the door,...
