Best Hum Poems


Premium Member Silent hum of grief
My souls mutters in the muteness;
"Is my melancholy more melancholic than yours?"

I gaze across a bridge,
wondering which stream flows to you,
as nobody understands how 
in the definition of lament,
I am a piano without a pianist
and you a harp without strings.

My heart is a weeping willow
within...

Detached - Even Circuits Hum
A Music Video

As twilight turns to tangled thought,
and truth tiptoes down trembling streets.
Once, wonder serenaded willowed winds
now shadows embrace muted retreats
Wary hearts weave walls so wide
against a faceless, coded tide,
while glowing grids in distant bays
bloom haunting weaves they won't embrace

Dualistic stars...

Premium Member Ocean Hum
Murmur ambience above the endless
horizon freewheel briny breeze filled sea.
Nascent movements from their shells come to be
unfurled winks, life beating hearts is timeless.
Calm hums over the ocean and appease
the emotional storm; where bright blue sky
meets the indigo sea, cap speechify
sea foam waves roll into shore...

Hum a Little Moonbee Tune
I bet moonbees sting
And zap when they zing
I'll wager it's true
They love flowers too...

In hot Texas heat
At high-noon we meet
She guns me down cold
With bullets of gold...

Premium Member There Is a Hum To Morning
There is a hum to morning
an accustomed to whirr
softly grinding gears
electrical whispers
gentle creaking of awakening wood
satisfied exhale
of a still slumbering dog
purr of a sun warmed cat.
I lie still and listen
to this too often unheard
Symphony.

Ho-hum, another war lost
  We should have won
Our new partner for peace ~ the Taliban

Ho-hum, a new school year
  First semester's curriculum

Hum ditty hum 
Fathom my fumbling thumbs
My fat fingers were fiddling
A tune that was middling
Never a merrier man than me...

Me Dog Called Hum
I have a talking dog named Hum
 Every time a biscuit I give him some
Till one day it wasn't enough
The bugger went ruff ruff
And took a bloody chunk outa me bum...

''The Hum of Betrayal''
~An erosion of senceless sin.
Prolonged only by your avid absent conscience.
~Reality blurs no more.~
I fear trust will lye  behind these electric fences that divide us.
Like Scarlett fever,the plagued dishonesty fills only views of deception.
If only my ache for you would fade.
Still as stone,the filth...

Altarwise-Hum
Altarwise-Hum 
Nick Rush 

When it’s late enough to hear locusts love
East of altarwise, humming. 
You can see the somber moon fade away
Sunshines duty coming. 
The sun grows ever-meeker now
As night is blending dusk with day
The moon has since been slumping
West of altarwise, hear the bees...

Premium Member The Hum
What’s that infuriating hum,
		that droning, distant, low-pitched sound?
		No one can find its origin,
		but maybe’s and I-think’s abound.

		In my small rural area,
		not all can hear this thing that makes
		me crazy; and no city friends
		hear it at all. It even wakes

		me up. It’s worse when I’m inside.
		Earplugs...

Hum Drum Thumb

Has a person ever put or placed a ban
On those putting marbles in their tin can
And after suffering much more bad news
All of his marbles he would loose.

More than likely what happened after that
Is some marbles had eyes looking like a cat
And after...
