Best Passengers Poems

Christmas finds reindeer landing on rooftops

Santa’s kindly added some extra stops

     His sleigh filled with travelers

     Scared of TSA handlers

Scoff as coal through government chimneys drops



*For Francine’s Christmas contest...

A train that’s ridden from birth to death
Picking up passengers along the way
Some people there as short as a breath
Others that are there almost every day

I watch as some people keep their distance
Tending to their personal needs
Attempts to connect, met with resistance
And so without them...

The Lord is my driver
I will not crash.
He buckles me the front seat of my road car.
He drives me on back roads,
He maintains my vehicle. 
He leads me on the direct routes
For time saving sake.
Even though I ride on the narrow back alleys,
I will feel...

Funny passengers entered my taxi
Rich, schooled and powerful they look
Yet their heads are as hard as coco-nut shells

People laughed at me every town I passed
As every passenger refused to board off
Saying they will never quit even at gun point
Security patrol seems to be close to...

so,
how
come a 
fly can get 
into my car so 
easily, but he can 
never find a way out 
with the windows open...

A froth of snow crusts the ground,
fixing in place the remaining blades of green grass
and outlining the metal edges of stop signs.
The road weaves wearily through the
freshly white washed landscape
with its distant, dusted, granite outcroppings.
Fellow travelers in blanketed cars whoosh passed
chunks of icy snow fly,...

To the skipper, first mate, and passengers of the Minnow,
there is this little something I think you should know:

Considering the world and the shape it is in today,
on that little island of yours, I think you should stay.

we are all passengers
on this great ship called America
some only want to simply relax
others are willing to work and pay tax
some will man the cannons
others hide in decks below
some protest, scream and yell
others think all is well 
some fix leaks as they appear
others sit back and...

I noticed whilst walking up and down the thing
What's going on here I thought
I had been given a middle seat
In what I consider to be the worst flight I have ever experienced
The two passengers either side of me were trolling
Ghosting me 
Two Count Drunkulas in...

Between moments, till the very
day I die,
You have made my life so full
and great.
As beautiful as I could want
And I never asked...why.

It was the stars and heavens that
worked together.
That make my heart write of your
love forever.

Do I really belong to you..of course!
The gods and celestial...

One minute difference
The bus is gone
Missing the bus
Missing the seat
Missing the passengers
Missing the destination
Missing the time
And the only chance
The early birds
Catch the worms
Maybe we must be
Punctual for happiness in life...

Second class carriage, in the second class train,
Second class passengers all shuffling their feet,
Trains late again as they walk through the rain,
Train company says there is no need to explain.

Work, work we just need to get to work,
Mustn't be late, we can't be seen to...

The sea stops here
But waves splash hard against the jetty
Seagulls lingering
Before flying away
Ships docking at one moment
And departing at another
Shedding cargoes and loading again
Sea breeze blows in
And land breeze blows out
Departing passengers shedding tears
But arriving passengers wear a sweet smile
We never understand the feeling of...
