Best Kicking Poems

From a list made long ago
I’ve kicked my bucket many times
Yet, I’m still alive

Night’s impetuous canvas
Memories painted in broad strokes
Bold images color my dreams

First a brisk zip line
Snow flurries gathering on my nose
New Hampshire’s White Mountains
Majestic, tranquil setting

Gliding in a sail plane over Tallahassee
No engine;...

blinkered by formal training  
counting bright abacus beads of syllables  
mindful not to step on cracks—  
rhythm is everything 

     the audience  c h e e r s !!!  
   the runner-up jeers—

The walk down freshly gravel road
kicking up stones seeing how far they roll.
Note a huge ox cart pulling heavy load
of dried kindling and dark black coal.

The ox cart struggles over new laid stone
with its immensely oversized cart lade.
Oxen soon tire as they heave and moan

From where l live
I see a silly monster
Trying to tiptoe and dive 
At you as if it`s a star 
Quickly I move in and check
Then like a super hero
I aim and really kick 
It into a screaming zero!

(N.B For Carol Eastman`s 
 Superhero contest)...

By the time I was a score and four
I was retired from overseas duty.
Was husband to an American beauty.
Had smoked at least ten years or more. 

I was hep......  Cool Hand Luke the fool.
John Wayne, all my idols puffed weed.
The movies, sports, all planted...

You’ve been walking down that dusty road,
for what seems like a country mile
Kicking the can with nary a smile
Headed for the schoolhouse,
you and your companion
A bus rolls by ... there’s a lot of dark faces
peering out the window
You curse them all, as you throw a...

A doer was seeking 
a physical thing
in this age of carnality.

Truth falls on your 
path when you become 
an absentee.

Take a break from
the silent assaults. Do 
not go for a dirty play.

I will not do any 
commerce with the paid
style of the omnivores.

The soil does...

Kicking Some Mouse Butt




I can since when a rodent is there,
I bet he's dropping his disgusting feces everywhere,
This thing outsmarted every mousetrap I bought,
It ate the cheese right off the trap and didn't even get caught,
I saw the hungry little beast eating crumbs off the...

The tale of the high kicking raspberries in two hundred lines of silt and steamed porridge oats.

Keynotes noted kissing keystones keep keystrokes kingly. But kingly is often not associated with kindness, kinship, or kept keepers keeping keys. It is the weeping of a solitary blade...

A lunatic dance, frenzied feet 
twisting everywhere, going nowhere, 
kicking at the cool March air.
No meek manner, no sculpture's 
mediocre smile, just a jumbled medley 
of clenched teeth and an impassioned, 
deer-eyed death stare.
All grace departed, exorcised 
and damned with exaggerated 
melodrama, from the electric...

over and over

why did you leave me?

over and over

over and over

over and over

why did you bang my head against the ground?

was it my head that you were banging 

or was it the ghosts you were chasing

your neverending chase of ghosts keeps trying to coincide with...
