Best Leaning Poems

The leaning tree has battled many a storm
The scars are plain to see
It's crooked trunk and twisted branches
are a living testimony

As I pass in dreary weather
I always take a second
To rest behind his broad limbed back
hidden from the wind

When at last the summer comes
I lean...

one thirty phone call
legless teenage son in need -
dad's taxi deployed

falling up the stairs
legless teenage son in need -
dad's support required

incoherent sounds
legless teenage son in need -
dad's patience tested

vomiting in bath
legless teenage son in need -
dad's memories stirred

falling out of bed
legless teenage son in need...

{intro}
You keep-you keep-you keep flying,
Though I’m honestly crying…...weeping…..sighing…..
Extra careful not to snip your heart strings
Tattoo your tune in my heart that pleasurably stings
Pain is what I need not to inflict myself with – just what if…
This love affair was all but a reality with a...

Cossack Cowboys
Riding Llamas
That they dress
In pink pajamas
Teeny boppers
Blowing bubbles
Biker chicks
Causing trouble
Nuns in Habits
Punks in chains
One or two
Of the deranged
Rubbing Buddha belly
Cravers
And the band
Harvey Danger
David Bowie
Elton John
Both of them
With Spacesuits on
Vegetarians 
Eating chicken
Love it fried
Finger licking
In a line to 
Meet and greet Obama
Now I wish
I'd brought...

leaning from attraction,
attraction to fool’s gold
that glittered oh so sweetly
to the naked
eye
how it pranced, alluring
you felt it long deserved
yes, 
worshipping the handsome
that prayed ever to be slightly so
as he waited in the womb
to one day consummate false hopes.
me left leaning to the cane ridden side

How else do we prop a leaning tower?
Pull it down?    Root and roof and all 
falling, crush roaches and rodents—
aliens without a fatherland.

Leeches and suckers, they're. Carriers 
of malaria, bloated tummies, fire red.
Hawks and vultures, hovering for carcass; 
babblers, shrinking common coffers...

The song I remember so clear
From church, as a little girl, made 
Me realize whenever problems arise,
I could lean on Him, I would be saved.

I could feel safe and secure from all alarms,
He wouldn't allow any any harm.

Today, I still think of that song, I...

In times of loneliness, In times of pain
In times of tears, In times of rain
In times of hatred, In times of mystery
Im just in the corner, Leaning on poetry

When days of frustration, When I'm on a moody paced
When I'm making this poem, When I'm writing...

But for those who forced darkness to take flight,
And could never by grounded thoughts abide,
But for those who fought the accustomed fright
At the new thunders rebel minds confide,
Fossil dreams we all would still inhabit,
In the muddied bogs of yore gladly flail.
Dead creeds’ taxidermy doth inhibit
Fresh...

Leaning On a Stone

I was afraid of gaining weight, so I kept on puffing my cigarettes. Filling my lungs, holding that drag as long as I could. I liked that feeling deep in my chest. When I breathed out through my nose, I looked like...

push at
the blowing wind.
Lean into the curve's slope.
Use the gradient to knurl grip,
Progress

Pondering two thoughts
about this dusty old room.
At first I feel abandoned
and a bit of gloom
My emotion turned to sad
Wanting to decorate glad....

An  illegitimate child of advanced technology we are told
That acquired the potency to destroy our health and gold
As you pack your stuff and ready to go
The world has reason to be happy once more and glow

As we continue to debate and bury our dead
Let...
