Best Lawnmowers Poems

August is almost a memory
Breezy cool nights are getting stronger
Colorful days of autumn soon will stay
Days are shorter, nights are longer
Each falling leaf brings us closer to winter
Finally time to put the lawnmowers away

Golden leaves flutter gently to the ground
Harvest season will be makings its...

Some day, someone will change all this.
The yard, no longer mine,
 having neither the work nor the fruits of my labor,
 will go unappreciated and require change.
The pond, once filling mewith joy and quiet peace and solitude
 will become undesirable.
The fruit trees, the garden no...

who are these people?
where did they come from?
i once heard that the margin, between the most intelligent human in the world, and
the most mentally challenged person in the world, was bigger
then the most mentally challenged person in the world, and
a monkey.
The human species is stupidly...

God cannot intervene in sovereignty 
and the boy will plead no innocence. 
Seedlings  cannot control the wind,
in birth the Oak has called their name
 a command from the forest  unseen.

A  biblical sandstorm unleashed by unworthy souls
Will  scatter this seed
that a millennium...

I was outside in my shed with my lawnmower in bits,
doing some repairs, for lately the mower’s miss and hits,
and getting me riled up because the darn thing wouldn’t start,
so that is the reason why I have pulled it all apart.

Lawnmowers can be fickle so...

I dreamed I was hanging out with Darroll near the train station. We entered a prison cafeteria and ate lunch. Then we looked in a junk store and I found two really cool vintage iron tools which I gave Darroll for his rusty iron tool...

Age old wisdom scarred not flamed. A dozen baked bees in an hour glass perturbed. And left undisturbed as a minotaur sunbathing on a single blade of grass on a sixty acre lawn. At dusk. At dawn. Week by week. But no lawnmowers. And it...

The Florida sky
is a soft cotton canvas
over tart groves
that, in the late afternoon
break wide with thunder
and rain

I am so glad for that rain
it is daily
it is aloe vera
It makes me new
sinking
and carrying my year
 out to the ocean
to become anonymous
to have no owner

The year ran...

If I could be a plant, I would be a cauliflower, or a cabbage, or a flower.
Maybe just a flower, as they are not usually consumed.
But which one?
The daffodil is so arrogant and sunny, leading the spring parade, heralding Easter.
Perhaps a daffodil.
The lilac is so...

Surest signs of spring arriving - sounds of lawnmowers and weed whackers....

Start now knowing joy,
that’s an order,
overcome a deepening solitude.

Like a bee at a bugle
or me at the deli
on Third Avenue.

I said to Joe when do you think this weather will break?
He jokes, April. 
That’s no joke. Weak creatures die and the strong barely survive.

Half a...

dandelions were stretched out along the roadside spent
wild lavender thistles were shriveling into brown stalks
we had no air in our car, it felt like we were in a sauna
the first few seconds were great, then it felt stifling.

how hot is it? I asked my niece....

early morning &
they get together to load up the truck 
with the lawnmowers, blowers, rakes, 
digging tools of sorts, weed eaters, 
trimmers, hedge clippers & their long arm
grabbers---
the four guys in their late teens & early twenties
work for a man who lives a couple counties...

The trees lining the streets are filled with cherry blossoms
Mother Nature is letting us know that spring arrival is going to be awesome
Enjoying a walk along the breakwater bustling with people enjoying the new day's sun
After a long winter, it is wonderful to be able...
