Best Metal Detector Poems

You walk through the metal detector 
You look at me with a deep seated scorn
You loath that I made you remove your stuff
You had to take off your shoes belt and jewelry
You’re thinking “I’m no criminal or terrorist so why me”

I am only doing the...

In May two thousand and seven I was on a beach on the sand 
When it was time to leave I noticed, I was missing my gold band
I started digging the sand frantically, my wife she helped too
We were flying home the next day, there...

First person shooter,
on a hate tour of duty,
swinging a bullet sling blade
Buying a death row ticket,
worth fifteen minutes of fame
First person murder shooter;
womb-to-the-cradle-to-the-grave robber,
using your Automatic Revolver
to solve your anti-social mental problems
Sharpen that sling blade
on a coroner grindstone wheel
Gather the scythe-shredded corpses 
from the harvest...

want a metal detector,  
I need to dig things up.  
There's so much in the dirt,  
and I can't get enough.  
   
All that was left behind,  
has since been immersed.  
Forgotten graves deepen, 
in time's cyclic...

Been carrying one since I was five, to school and everywhere, moons 60 now
         Cut leather, whittle on a stick, never as a weapon, where has common sense gone?
If I was to go through a metal detector...

it carries the baby
it cleans up the tub
it does all your homework
and gives great foot rubs

It takes out the trash
it can be a TV
it can play all your music
like a big mp3

it can be your best friend
yes, it can do all that
it can take all...

     This is the Ballad of Sandcastle Jane
     Who went to the seaside in the pouring rain
     Where she built sandcastles on the seashore
     At first there was one,...

She stands at the barbed-wire fence
 Her chest heaves up and down
  Her picture is taken ~ dogs bark
   They are ferocious

The gate in the middle creaks open
 admitting her
  It slams shut behind her
   ~ She jumps

He can only find oil by opening a can of sardines.
By hoping to make money, he employs some strange means.
He takes his metal detector, and wanders along the beach.
Is there some buried treasure well within his reach?
With almost any IPO, he buys big blocks of...

At the airport a young director
Ready to film a new TV show
Walked through the metal detector 
Forgetting his nail clippers in tow

He had put them in his pocket
Down a hole the clippers fell through
Then just as the alarm went off 
He said, "There's something in...

Travel

Zip-zip-zip the suitcases go
And we all pile into the car, ready to start the show 
It’s that time of year
When my family and I travel to far away places full of cheer

Spellbound with giddiness I am
Ready to cross the border into a foreign land
Beep-beep-beep the...

Can I describe an object?
What is it? Please have a guess?
It’s just a little exercise,
It won’t cause you much stress.
The object I’m describing,
Usually is long and thin,
It comes with some instructions,
You should read ‘fore you begin.
They come in different colours,
Though I’m told that lots are...

I dream of a clean class room, where I can learn in peace... and not have to worry 
about if a bullet was meant for me.

This is America where freedom did ring and land were the pilgrims cried? 

I dream of new books, that I...

Spread it out on the ground and let’s see how far it reach; spread it out on the ground and you will see where destiny is bound; spread it out and measure it and you will know exactly if it fits.

You have to cover the...

There are more than pennies in the sand. 
I stumbled across a wedding band. 
Me with a metal detector, walking along. 
Other beach goers in throngs. 
Dropping tiny things that they will forget. 
But I found something that has caused regret. 
Sticking this ring into...
