Best Low Poems

You hit when I was low
The pain you caused, you know
Threw dust on glitter glow
Made weeds of sorrow grow
Cued pent-up tears to flow

You hit when I was low

You hit when I was down
Made me a freak show clown
Took jewels from my crown
Gave not a smile...

With the rules she is quite savvy
Yet she has to pay a levy
She knows for a fact
The weight is exact
But, madam, she is top-heavy.

I spied a valley low
Across the road from the cemetery
A Columbus monkey swinging by

The trees of the vale
Stood tall and forlorn
Observing the crematorium
Covered in light gray smoke
As morning traffic streamed on by

Giraffe reached for the tallest bough
And I thought I heard the leopards growl
And by...

I can't merge with the atmosphere 
Nor breathe in the stratosphere 
My feet are off the ground
But I'm still tethered 

Get me away from here!
My mind obliges 
I levitate half of self skywards 
Maybe that's why my stomach hurts

I play a tune 
Listen to it...

You may see me out on the streets
Lying curled up in a foetal position my sleeping bag in a shop doorway
Trying to get a few hours sleep here in my latest home in cardboard city …
I never stay more than a few nights in one...

I wish you would 
ease your hold
on me...

I wish you would 
allow me, 
to be who I really am...

I wish you would not sit
on my shoulder
and whisper in my ear
"you're not good enough"…

I wish you could disappear
and never find
your way back... 

I know, I would...

Began in September
(Watching it grow)

A smoldering ember
(Black-orange glow)

October, November
(Can’t let them know)

Half past thru December
(Hope it won’t show)

Don’t think I remember
(Feeling so low)...

The low suffer most the blow of the law 
And no better do they fare with its flow:
From injustice to injustice it carries them
But none ever calls this a flaw.
For like that, perhaps, she can’t help to be,
Born of the mighty as she is.

Once, though,...

crisp wind dips low…
     trembling on hammock 
  of rosette sky

     along vast dome…
  feathery air ripples
        like scalloped leaves

 winged azure glints…
     lifting...

So, how long have you been waiting? No, it doesn't really matter!
I just came in the game to quiet the chit chatter.
And now that I am here, where should I start?
First, I'll examine your head, and then I'll examine your heart.
Did you really think that...

wind dances with great pines

long needles brush together

low musical hush.

The Enquiry
Is over

They did not find
the missing and murdered
whatever 
they were looking for
But every woman knows

Why

There are so many
missing and murdered
Aboriginal women
As every woman knows

Why

There will never be
an Enquiry
into the men
who murder women

I’m hunting high and low,
For someone I am yet to know
I can sense the beating of her heart,
But I know not where to start
She will bring me joy, bring me peace,
And maybe the loneliness will cease
So here I am,
Is she within the reach of my...

There's more than one Alex at an all time low 
Trying to stay up because I know some people want to see me fall like snow 
But then depression kicks in and it's off the walls I go 
I hope you understand when I say...

Tying my shoes ($$) for my morning run,
I think about quitting, I wish it were done.

Perhaps if I run at least a mile each way,
I won’t have to cry at what the scales say.

My breath comes in gasps, I look a freight,
The people I pass...
