Best Living Quarters Poems


Outback Shearing Shed
I'll bet this set of rusty shears have a story they could tell,
of the loneliness and broken backs in a land that's hot as hell,
where hopes and dreams mirrored lives that these shearers led,
here among the ruins of an outback-shearing shed.

I'll bet this set of...

I take my hat off for the flag
  I stand up straight; let others sag
I get all weepy for Old Glory
  thinking of my family's story

They came from Russia with naught but hope
  with just their wits to help them cope
No language...

What Makes a Home
My normal route diverted,
I walked north instead of south
And passed a man who looked like he
Existed hand to mouth.

He’d made a small encampment
Underneath a walking bridge,
Though of course he lacked a bathroom
Or a closet or a fridge.

But I had to give him credit
For I couldn’t...

Elf
I am a little elf
Tinier than a mouse
I live in a bluebell forest
In a mushroom house

I don’t have a lot of money
If I did that would be cool
I could upgrade my living quarters
Into a top of the range toadstool

Living in a mushroom house
Has its down...

Path To An Unknown Destination
As I travel on the path to an unknown destination.......
I must conquer the process of never-ending education
Average math pupil but good with money multiplication
So I try hard to keep rigid concentration
Don't need drugs or liquor to grant my brain stimulation
The elevation
Of my irritation
Anger accumulation
If I...

Premium Member Tanya
She stalks the garden looking for a feast
Once she gets one, she can bite or incite
Gaze into her playful eye for instance
Quickly am caught in her magical trance.

As the sun sets, she comes out of her den
Cycle of life goes on from dusk to dawn
Espoused...

Unknown Wilderness
Each step into the wilderness presents intriguing thoughts
 of how nature became our theatre
each step is a discovery in itself  of unsettled land 
which sits in the wilderness of  unexplored territory
but is filled with animals  that do not know their  boundaries....

I'm a blue collar worker who works outdoors 
and I'm also required to wear a hard hat all day. 
My exposed skin and face tan at a very fast pace, 
but beneath that hard hat, absolutely no way. 
The last time I went bandanna free,...

Time
We don’t need your money
But can you afford the time
Because some of us are homeless
Some of us need a sign




We don’t need your attention
But can you send some doctors
Were desperate for medical supplies
We need some caring watchers




We don’t want your money
But can you send some...

Premium Member Let's Be Clear
In my lifetime,
I have observed and
witnessed some evil things.
Many were news reports, but
some were eye-witness melees.
One notable travesty was the
implementation of 'A Clearing'.
It was called ethnic cleansing,
but there was absolutely nothing
cleansing about slaughterous murder.
Like so much garbage, being cleared
from our living quarters; one people
claiming to...

Really in the year 2022, one cannot tell from a person's dress
