Best Parking Poems

I’m so sad mom
That I’m missing the chance
To be with you on your birthday
and to watch you dance

Yet your spirit I admire
You’ll celebrate with style
With friends in a parking lot
You’ll boogie for a while

Enjoy your special night
even if it’s a bit chilly
Let others ponder
the magic...

A street meter thief, Peter Jeter
Would saw off the head of one meter,
Take it home in his sack,
Keep the coins, bring it back, 
Which was pointless by that time, of course, having
   completely destroyed the meter.

Parallel parking on a private stow
For every row there was a foreign road  
Waiting for night, my thoughts roam
Straightforward, straight towards her

To...say.. find another, another home
Goodbye my lover, goodbye my love

A voicemail harping and a dial tone, 
Went to your door yet no one's...

Friends told a secret
Put the ticket on the shield
No more new tickets

I did not wait long
To realize the secret advice
When I got ticket

I did what they said
I left my car with ticket
Glad to know the trick

Dark when I came back
I saw the ticket gave birth
I...

I took my mother to the doctor just the other day.
An odyssey of sorts and an adventure I must say.
We came down from the mountain to the city about nine.
In spite of some construction work we made it there on time.

We entered the garage and...

I've had a few car ports in my time,
Where I'd regularly park my car.
My car would fit each perfectly,
Then I'd smoke a long cigar.

All car ports were slightly different,
With no two quite the same.
I'd drive deftly, steering into each,
I'd steady, line up and aim.

Some car...

It's not a flower, it isn't yellow,
     it's just this rabid,
            fearless fellow....

Sitting in my car waiting for my Cathie dear
Not everybody's as nice as us, I fear
Fighting for a parking spot
Tempers sure flare a lot
A wonder they didn't kick each other in the rear

I'm in a hurry and can't be late,
but for a closer space I'll wait.
Around and around I slowly go,
a closer space is sure to show.
I see some tail lights start to glow
but it is in another row.
I must hurry and not delay.
I hit the gas...I'm...

    vehicles all in a line.  One red sedan

For Wise Sage

When on yourself you start getting down
Get dressed, go out and buy a great gown
As soon a one you loves comes to town
Be happy and self in sorrow don't drown.

So do drown yourself in happy things
Much joy and jubilation each brings
And if you...

Traffic jams 
define the divine 
and the mundane.

Their long peak 
hours mix the sacred 
and the profane.

And with grateful awe, we see as a miracle,
as a beatific vision and spectacle,

the slightest hint 
there is, the elusive 
faintest trace 

of this city's 
rarest gem: a vacant...

Heat Lightening
by Michael R. Burch

Each night beneath the elms, we never knew
which lights beyond dark hills might stall, advance,
then lurch into strange headbeams tilted up
like searchlights seeking contact in the distance . . .

Quiescent unions . . . thoughts of bliss, of hope . ....
