Best Last Day Poems

Gene stood. Skyscraper demanding. Cold steel.
Thirty-five hard years. Over now. Just like that.
Corrugated box. Family photo. Timex watch.
Bitter coffee. 
Stale sweat.
He walked out. Sun blaze. Fireball. Air thick.

Sidewalk. Familiar corner. Man there.
Black skin. Weathered face. Cardboard sign.
Gene stopped. Eyes met. Silent understanding.

"Seen you," the man...

It’s three am and I need to pee, feeling thirsty
My water bowl is empty and it’s getting warm in here
My crate is barren, the cement is cold on my legs
I hear my brothers and sisters cry, they are next door
I hear the door open, my...

On a beautiful morning one day in May 
I went to my grandma and grandpa's to stay
My grandpa fixed breakfast and fed it to me
I felt so secure as I sat on his knee
I ate every bite of my eggs and my grits
For a snack...

I watched YOU be.  
One night. One day. 

Love grew this way.
Thinking you were the one for me. 
Skin so soft. Smile so strong. 
Eyes so big. Glare so deep. 
Love i would love to keep. 


I watched IT be. 
Two nights. Two days....

If my last day on Earth came with one wish
                      It would not be for food but it would be a dish

If today was my last day,
I would tell my friends, family and 
even my foes
how much they have influenced my life;

if today was my last day, 
I would embrace the weather
whether it is winter or summer;

if today was my last day,
I would offer apologies to
those...

If it was my last day to live,
All my earning to the poor I would give.
There's a few things I would enjoy,
And share God's love with every girl & boy.

If it was my last day on earth,
I would of hug & kiss all who I...

Tis a lovely day for students are glad 
The last day of the school year is anything but sad
No more assignments to study nor papers to write
Students can deal with William Shakespeare at next year’s fight
Textbooks have been returned and stored away
Lockers are cleaned out...

So this is it. It’s finally here. 
Your last school day has come
No more morning drop offs
No more rushed school run. 

No more sandwiches to pack
No more sports kit to acquire
No frantic searching for the socks 
Hiding somewhere in the dryer 

No more crazes to...

Here it is at last!
The very last day of school.
I have waited so long for it,
Now I feel like a fool.

The thing that I’ve wished for
Has come true on this day.
“My children” will all leave me,
They’ve grown up, and will go away.

We’ve learned about the...

Here I am facing my death at age sixteen.
Each moment of my life has been a foreboding scene.
I never had desire to be this nation’s queen.

Devoid of love and care from my mother,
it seems I could not trust her or any other.
Merely a pawn in...

‘Tis the last day of the year
Got it’s own remarks to bear;
Children this day ye don’t despise,
The day God made has got it’s price:
The day to settle the Year’s account
For God’s love so plenty bound,
Feeling sorry for the mistakes done – 
Sometimes with hatred, sometimes...

What Would Santa Claus Say
by Michael R. Burch
 
What would Santa Claus say,
I wonder,
about Jesus returning
to Kill and Plunder?
 
For he’ll likely return
on Christmas Day
to blow the bad
little boys away!
 
When He flashes like lightning
across the skies
and many a homosexual
dies,
 
when the harlots and heretics
are...
