Best Labor Day Poems

Got kidnaped from my African village,
tossed on a big, long ship that sailed far away
Stripped of every decent human privilege,
forced to work on short sleep, long hours, no pay
Didn’t come to America on a pleasure cruise,
land of freedom wasn’t nothing but fake news
Forced to work...

Lonely hours, seems
You've lived quite often
Silence in the shame
Of your sacred day
Blue light through your eyes
Shines an open coffin
Gleaming miracles on the way
Broken windows
Winter broken windows
False visions have you seen
Ice melts softly into tears
In your fluid still life scene
Wasn't it you who said "nothing Matters?"
It...

Labor Day
By Franklin Price
9/7/2015

Labor day is so confusing
We celebrate our job
Yet anyone who's laboring
Is not part of the mob

The majority have taken off
For this antonymic holiday
Maybe have a cook-out
Or take a trip away

I hope you have a great day
With good friends to drink and dine
May...

On Labor Day we celebrate
The workers of the world,
Quite often with a big parade
Where banners are unfurled.

But there’s another Labor Day
Which every mother’s sworn
Is more important; it’s the day
On which a baby’s born.

For labor’s a generic term
Although, for what it’s worth,
The toughest labor I have...

Tell me again
This wealth you gasp and clamour for
This strategy you wield
From the invincible substratum
Where the hunt pursues the frenzied heart
And the congestive traffic of arteriosclerosis 
For what do you deal
The long evenings swinging on the green and
The soul's sanity again?

I have checked for definitions
One...

Of january starting a new year

Of heart messages written on colored paper in february 

and my birthday in april 
 
of green cabbage and corned beef in march

Of hot dogs and hamburgers in may for memorial day

 the beginning of summer in june


And fireworks in...

Special Days
Written: by Tom Wright
4/13/2006

It seems that for almost everything
We’ve set aside a special day.
We recognize others for their work 
And sometimes for their play;

There’s a day set aside for Mothers
And likewise for Fathers too;
I’m sure that in this hodgepodge
There’s one that will cover you.

There’s...

Labor day holiday is laughingly laborious
Pack a punch of partying
On one only lonely playful day
Tonight the trio sets the timepiece to 
alarm again in the am another
Work and school worry with the rules day

To give a correct memory to May
On my computer’s Internet I look 
Where I find stories of courageous way.

And in my mind I see remind to shook
Grave and dignified people to protest
In the painted cover of an old book.

But against them violence addressed
The legal power...

Check your closets and your drawers;
Summer's end is almost here.
Labor Day’s the signal
Certain clothes must disappear.

For we know the custom dictates
That this holiday’s approach
Means that if you’re still in flip-flops,
You’ll be viewed with some reproach.

And whoever wrote the rule book
Felt that he or she was...

Another holiday has come to pass and I am no prouder to be an American than when it started.

What are these holidays for I ask myself?

Are they designed for the little man to feel like he’s getting a break from the monotony of 
a humdrum...

SEPTEMBER SONG - triple tanka

Like a lover's sigh
She tiptoes forth    looking back -
Those warm memories -
Birds    still singing    cross over
And sad sunshine stills the wind

Now    September sings
A sympathetic tune silvers
Promises late gold -
The...
