Best Overflow Poems

     Unswallowed lumps of lobster immodest
     Crustacean returns to pincers persimmon 
     Waitress whisk indiscernible clears linen 
     Custom of one equates her eight hour day

yearly grain storage
too tiresome modulation 
over spilling crib

 
shaken a little heaped flat
housewife's face overflow smile...

Before our story has finally been told, we must greet 
the morning as the air does flow
into our mouths and nostrils.
We must seize the day as the light does come in and 
wake our eyes from a very good
night's sleep.  Time to get up...

Emotions are mixed, while sanity is lost. 
You get to intake all the luxury while I struggle with the cost.
Oh the risks I would have taken to see us pull through, 
The sacrifices I made just to try and be with you.
But you fled without...

There’s something deep inside of me
That makes me want to ease
Lines of worry on a face.
There’s something that is in my mind
That makes me want to change
A frown into a smile.
There’s something that is in my heart
That makes me want to catch
Someone who starts to...

The love that fills
To the brim,
Then spills
Over
And D
R
O
P
S
On those below
(There are always others below)
Becomes
A four-leaved clover
A drop of love
From above
What luck!...

An a show! Bravo we applauded. We
see past the befores' and look toward 
the nextes': we thought it was one of
 those nights. Durning the main attraction
most who were interested stopped and
went out and became audience, you know
regular guy's. I sat next to members of
the...

When blessings overflow
Beyond our dreams, beyond our needs
Let’s look to our brothers
Their table bare
Their children’s cries and stares
Their pain a stain
Etched in their brain
We can help erase
And do not debase
With cajoling and flattery 
In this world ever changing
Who knows tomorrow?
What hand we may be dealt?
We...

Tell me what you require of me?
Tell me why are you playing with my dignity?
You have sent all type of Tom, 
Dick and Harry to maneuver my life
Stranger, neighbor and family member
All are cruel people with material mind
They don’t care a dam if I live...

Kick the leaves, let bodies grow
Framed in Autumn showers glow
Rake the peak of ‘tober’s show
Pumpkin hues a zephyr throw
Saffron shake of candy snow 
And brittle brown tornado 
Child’s reaction blow by blow 
Swirling, twirling, vertigo 
Rosy leapers letting go 
Roars Calypso overflow

M-arch second early morning,
A-nother night is gone; 
R-ain and chill have turned
I-nto a warmth of the dawn.
C-oal clouds become white, 
E-vening shadows disappear; 
L-ight that shines above brings mirth and cheer.

D-usk has just faded
A-way from your view; 
L-ook at the pleasant place, 
A-iming to comfort...

I captain the words to suit my mood
  to curse or then to pray

And document those things I feel
  to others then to say

I choose each verb and noun with care
  and place them side by side

Reminding all of what we share

As I travel through the places in my mind
Like all the faces on the vine
The memories aren't all mine
Ready to go on the drop of a dime
When we have to walk this line

Coasting through life in a whole new timeline
That will no doubt realign our...
