Best Mound Poems
Mound of Sorrowoh how cold
the drift of migrant winds
unto the strip of lawn,
their newly planted garden
now slowly blooming
with jasmines and herbs that rise
above a pile of flakes.
Will he ever know how
she tended each bud
unfurling fingers to touch the lattice
of night stars? Her...

Tex Mex MoundMound of beans and rice
Lettuce shreds with tomato
Onion, ebony
Olive rings in salsa and
Guacamole; sour cream top;
Tex-mex mound,
Feast!

Bride's Mound: For Kathy HopeBride's Mound is a site sacred to the Druids in Glastonbury.
This beautiful Druid funeral was a wonderful way to say farewell to a lovely soul.
Up on Bride’s Mound, where the sky meets the ground
Circle wheels within wheels, on a blue winter day
Child of the...

Mound of AntsI was walking down the street
As fast as pistol Pete
It was nice and warm out
I was just walking my regular route
My legs were getting tired
This was my job because everywhere else I have been fired
I deliver newspapers in the A.M
And afterwards I go run at...

Snow MoundThe storm raged in
snow blinded sight
it howled around corners
it prowled over roof tops
it piled high on the ground
as it slowly began to seize
the wind died down
on the ground
snow mounds....

The Girl Behind the MoundThe dead march ahead,
But she hides behind a mound
A wooden barrier is all that protects her from being found.
Their soulless eyes burn bright,
As they walk ahead on
Trudging through the darkness as it swallows the dawn.
Their eyes are hungry, as they smell her soul’s essence.Her breath...

Autumn Leaves: Daunted Crown, Regal MoundSallowing leaves tarnish bough's regal crown
Swirling breeze pageant more doth confound
Dessicated lobes dressed in jaundiced gown
Crumpled folds in death's clutches bound
Cool tidal waves the exposed surfaces pound
Frothy glaze doth weathered follicles brown
Chilling currents surge; nutrient-rich channels drown
Shunted leaves from lofty crest tumble down
Shorn pinnates reassembling,...

Separated Spirit From the Mound of Dirt and Clay---SEPARATED SPIRIT FROM THE MOUND OF DIRT AND CLAY---
As I walk across the silver sands, winds;
Blows throughout my daughterly brazen hair;
Whisk away seldom the sun dims, its grin;
Shining brightly those grinning light shines there;
Kicks the pebbles corner stone’s made of gold;
Harboring the renaissance of stories...

Destination: the High Mound of KapildangaThe old pain in the skull seems to be
heading Kapildanga means
a mound with a high plaque
The mound surrounded by a wall is not far away!
Badu, Kalu, Falu, Yadali's parents are always there
The game is over, he said.
Assalamualaikum ahelal kubur.
There have been many...

In My DreamIn My Dream
I could twirl around,
Climb the highest mound,
As a setting sun would show,
No one would ever know,
About a pretty silhouette,
Doing the perfect pirouette,
Behind her as the sum dims,
Climb higher the moon beams,
Twilight soon sets in,
The stars all twinkling,
As I dance there’s not a chance,
Who...
