Best Nod Poems

Preposterous and illogical things
proffered as fact.  Unwilling to be fought,
politely we nod.  In time the lie clings.
Why hold to reason when we can be taught?

It’s fashion to question the foundation.
Even the small things we once thought were sure,
now discarded without hesitation.
Our observations aren’t...

Please take off your shoes, you've entered into
The land of Nod Off And Forget
Where people try to get something done
But haven't done it yet

They forget why it is they're here
And nod off in between
They can't remember much of life
Because they sleep through the whole thing

They...

She sees herself suddenly as a small girl
bare feet on the cold black and white tile
little toes curled
sees the white porcelain tub and
how pretty the light blue water was
so deep it almost came to her chin
as she climbed in

For hours she'd play with her dime...

How sweet are the messages of affirmation,
Enhancing our self-image when we are down
Often providing reason for contemplation,
But should not be worn like a golden crown.
To give someone else a simple feel-good nod
Elevates the spirits of both giver and receiver,
Now and then, everyone deserves that laud
Being...

Do not go gentle into that good night
     of darkness, blight, and disease;
     rage, rage against the hour of midnight—please,
with all of your might
     until I am at ease!

Do not go gentle into...

A mother is your first line of defense
The general who always leads the charge
She'll look right through your pleas of innocence
Then dress your wounded spirit, in her arms

How wise she is, to know when to correct
At times will even hand down discipline
Demanding daily, that you learn...

And once the full moon rises on’t
Da mid awhorl doth all we want.

But soon ta blacken brot a gri,

And once t’gin ta ram da moot

As Winter Flees Giving Spring A Begrudging Nod

As winter flees giving Spring a begrudging nod
So the farmer waits to turn over life giving sod
Mother Nature, bows to Heavenly hand of God
Summer too, waits to embrace racing feet unshod
Young lads dancing forth with live bait and...

She has felt a rope with a mustang attached,
Threw berries into a biscuit batch, 
The holes she’d patch in clothes and shoes
She loves her life and has paid her dues,
She has tallied and rallied, opened the gate, 
Chased and paced and could hardly wait,
For true...

In the land of Nod lived a man named Bob
Some people described him as a bit of a slob
His undies were soiled
People recoiled
At the sight of this fellow, a strange sort of a knob

I’ve let everyone down to be exact…
I am a proven-guilty fact (a false fact)
Optimism and pessimism sure have its arms around me at all times
I wish I had a black and white checkered pirate ship of my own sometimes
I over-complicate things too many times
I’m growing...

In a faraway land
In a  cottage of stone and sand
Live Mr and Mrs Nod
Follow the winding path
Deep into the woods
To a cottage sweet though odd

On the way woodland animals play
In colourful knitted clothes
A rabbit passes by
With a  twinkle in his eye 
And a...
