Best Lugging Poems


New Neighbors, Part I
As Miss Luby watches from her window
a moving van backs up
the driveway across the street

BEEP!  BEEP!  BEEP!  BEEP!

its warning cry has a beacon-like effect
on the neighborhood
arousing interest from all corners
everything suddenly shaken awake

Even the squirrels stop, stock-still
save an occasional flick of the...

IMPLODING REALITY

Silent scream
wildly flapping of wings unseen
around this crying head
where eyes are no more
and mouth a wide silence
where ears hear only madness
while mind is anywhere but sane
Violence throws me out of bed
every night on legs that collapse
forgotten they don't work
lugging, tug drag into
that corner
they fly...

To Whom It May Concern
Today, it is a sunny Thursday morning in April, and my body
aches like it does when a rainstorm hits, and I am regrettably 
bitter about it because in this very moment in time,
I am still waywayway too aware
       ...

Drinking Drugging
Drinking drugging, chug a lugging,
Cruising down the poncy street,
Drunk a 40 cats a hugging,
Look out 4 this ***** on heat,

Brain a thumpin, blood a pumping,
Dogs a humping, jelly beans to eat,
Cant get me car outa park,
So brain dead I cannot speak, 

Flashing forth in me...

Premium Member Busy Little Bees
A wonderous day, we're
Busy little bees buzzing,
Circling round
Dandelions, daisies, and
Early meadow rue, wild-
Flowers with open arms.
Gems, open blossoms,
Harmony of colors.
Incredible, arousing
Juices of fragrance
Keeping us busy
Lugging it all back to
Mommy in the beehive.
Nice that the wildflowers are an
Open diner,
Pollen for the asking.
Quick and easy, we can...

Retail Therapy
Yesterday I found myself slumped
into the saddest of trenches,
for no particular reason
other than a new moon cycle.
Instead of flopping myself
in my studio’s armchair to write,
I drove to the mall for an outing 
probably more expensive than 
what a therapist would charge
for an hour in his...

An Unlikely Duo
Watching her board bathed in fog at the station
Spectacles slide down the bridge of his nose
Usually a blur, not in this situation
Smudges can’t hide every beauty she shows

Lugging a satchel in high heels and cotton
In her left hand rests a statue that grins
Such an odd...

The Wheel
Symbol of mass transportation, 
crucial as a pair of wings; 
I wonder where we'd be without it 
in the broader scheme of things? 

It's hard to say just how we'd cope, 
or how we'd get around. 
I must confess a nagging fear 
we'd stay right...

Spooky Woman
Every morning, I steal longing glances at the most spellbinding creature I have ever cast my two eyes upon, 
Her skin is pale and lifeless, wearing a peculiar looking amulet draped across her neck, 
I cannot help myself to stare, as she engulfs her lunch...

My Phone

I've just been down to Tesco to get some shopping done,
I never go with money cos I have a little fun
You see it makes me snigg*r when I hear old ladies moan
'What was wrong with money,' as I Pay them with my phone

I went...

Lonely
Left lost luggage at a station,
One piece of flotsam at sea,
Never to feel integration,
Everything drifts endlessly,
Lugging a suitcase of sadness,
Yearning for someplace to be....

Genuinely Promoted
From lugging heavy boxes in a distribution place,
To taking pinewood coffins to a so called place of grace.
From melting from the heat from six till half past three,
To eating currant buns and drinking nice hot cups of tea.

From hassle from the bosses; there are far...

Humbling Lessons and Resulting Charity
i give because i can
it makes me smile more than i know
i inspire another to do the same
hopefully the gift of charity will grow

when i was lugging a plastic junk bag and a worn backpack,
i thought i was worst off than others
i thought only of...
