Best Jar Poems

Standing on tippy toes
Top shelf 
Reaching
Stretching
Finger tips edging the jar forward
Imagining the taste of chocolate chips on my tongue
Yumm mom's chewy delicious wait till Saturday cookies
Thankful I have grown that extra inch
Thinking she'll never suspect me

The jar 
Tips
Topples
Tumbles 
Turns 
Travels over my head
Lands on the...

I learned a lot from Grandma
She helped me become a man
When I thought I just couldn't make it
She always told me I can

She taught me all of life's lessons
While sitting at her breakfast nook
Some homemade cookies and a glass of milk
Was usually all it took

She...

Does the one who loves you know who you are?
She needs a real man not just a facade.
Don't keep your heart locked away in a jar.

Not being open she'll think you're a fraud.
She longs to share every part of herself.
She needs a real man not...

You
mirror 
my pain in
deep lines of dark
thunder within a jar of hurricanes
mocking the sorrow I sing in silence
watching sadness
vaporise 
as I
grieve
and
quiver
to the tunes
of piercing walls
where shadows of regret dance to the moon...

Wandering the virtual
green fields of home,
I open the farmyard gate
fall into a haze of retrospect.
I see a “LMS Black Five” Locomotive
bellowing upon a utilized line,
ghostly sparks tantalizing
the embankment.
Below a paddock ploughed,
sown with scattered seed
to germinate this memory
of that time past.
I stroll the hoary lane
beneath a...

I shall not fear of parching for your drop or two is enough
Even a tear would quench more than my lip, my soul
Cry me thrice, laugh me once
Leap more, tiptoe less
Break this earthen vessel if you wish
Just don’t leave a love song behind
For it will...

It's a starry night
and the moon is shining bright.
My heart is full of love,
glowing.

But you are so very far
and I'm kept here in this jar,
in a secret place,
not showing.

The sweet mystery of life,
surviving neglect and  strife,
raises her head with courage,
waiting.

Won't you take that step...

i hear chirping beaks,
my love, as you deeply sleep
with your mouth ajar

butterflies in jar -
my abdomen aches with thoughts
of sudden silence...

This gift of love I gave my friend,
A jar with messages to send.
Adorned with ribbon curls and lace,
To put a smile upon her face.
I know she'll keep it to the end

I thought out just what I should say,
That she could read to make her day.

OH you marbles in a jar!
Teacher wants us to guess how many of you there are
I try to count the ones showing, but I lose track
This silly circular jar, has neither a front nor back
The child with the closest guess, will undoubtedly score
The dangling allure...

You're the jam in my jar 
And you fill my sugar bowl 
Candy kisses from afar 
And the sweetness in your soul 

You're the apple in my pie 
You're the pecan in my tart 
You’re the sparkle in my eye 
And the pounding in my...

Just a little snack, some crackers
and some peanut butter
Wholesome delicious treat to eat
There ants the assaulter_

They had assaulted the whole jar
Working like red wigglers
Entering the jar, eating 'til filled
Hauling off their weight_chiselers

There must have been thousands of them
Those small black sugar ants
They were inside tightly...

Hand In The Cookie Jar

The word is out, the waiting suspense is over...
Over here in this small young democratic country...

For quite some time, in this Bolehland of endless possibilities...
There has been fascinating accounts of financial irregularities...

Every man in the street, he knows for a fact...
When...

Hey Mister Tom Cunningham,
You are definitely the man,
Your poetic talents reaching far,
Your taste buds tantalized by a
Marmite jar!...

Lightning in a bottle 
That is my little firefly 
I gotcha right out of 
The summer night sky 

Gently captured now 
In an old glass canning jar 
You twinkle, twinkle, twinkle 
Just like a little star 

Riled up and startled 
With a tap... tap... tap
Awaken...
