Best Pins Poems

Four kegs, they’d left on the rye field’s bare crest
gone were the skittles and the balls of wood.
Four kegs empty of magical brew, strewn
upon the hill’s breasts, where gnomes had stood.

They’d left long ago, twenty years today.
Here’d been a mountain, where now a farm stood.
They...

Another song written in middle school - edited of course. ;)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Verse 1]
I'm trapped within these walls
Never to leave at all
I am the prisoner inside my own home
My spirit is broken
I do not believe
I'm locked in this chamber which I cannot leave 
[Chorus]
The needles that break...

"Nine Inch Nails, Ten Pins and the Purl Stitch"



She takes the cake 
they offer, chewing too rapidly, 
she Shrews when she speaks 
I’ll beat warpath drums, she says, 
no mistake

I’m a groper ... goody two shoes
she says

mouth wide open
songs problematic 
she's done and she's gone

Let's take these pins and needles

That we're always sitting on

And sew up this relationship

Before it goes completely wrong

Piecing it all together

These used lives, tattered and torn

We'll make a quilt from wanting hearts

Into something beautiful...

Life throws a curve
It's overdue 

A thumb is clearly
Under screw

The wall so cold
Against my back

Lightening strike
Now charred and black

"Nine lives all spent"
Purrs leaping cat

Nowhere left
To hang my hat

A parachute
With twisted lines

An absent ear
For bell that chimes 

Cruel Critique
When poem rhymes

Once friendly chat
Now voiceless mimes

A sense...

Safety in pins

Her mother bestows her with a pillow
Blooming roses in azure and red
embellished with silken threads
Edged with a 
A crystalline river
Making Anuket shiver
 
"Just stick a pin in it
whenever you worry!"
she says casually.
 
A worry pillow!
In a cheerful facade
How contradictory
Rose Thinks
Still better than
Biting her...

I can’t survive without the rush of an impulsive swallow or an impersonal touch.

I’m fueled by the adrenaline I get solely through sex and drugs, driving while high and chasing danger.

Piercing my skin with needles and pins,

willing to feel the worst to feel anything...

pins and needles sewn across the bed in threads of yellow-brown and rosy, red stitched across my sheets and embroidered to my bed and pillow eye to eye with pins and needles a prickly pair pinned to my bed and pillow...

African youth on the
Pins and needles, 
Pains...huh!
So painful ...Yooh!. 
African youth shout 
Shout loudly... Eh!

Crying in exposing  the power hunger, 
Which is called selfishness in tongue 
Of genial. 

Some people out there are hungry for powers, 
Some politicians out there  want to die on the...

Beneath the bowling-alley 
bar marquee 
the rain tonight

hammers off 
the concrete. 
Inside, beer flops

bottle into glass.
Beyond the bar, 
bright lights

reveal a Bowler’s day:
fluorescent shirts
red, yellow, green, 

and everywhere 
a roar so loud
one can barely hear 

the genocide of pins 
slain by balls 
a lifetime now...

Time to quit ribbons, pins, and rubber bands
I don't need them to take a stand
The bracelets cut blood flow to my hands
And the pins just hurt my nipples

Red, Blue, Green, white, Pink, Yellow, black
Show just what causes that I back
The rubber bands, just hurt me...

It's not thanksgiving, but I get a turkey. 
That's what comes when there's three strikes for me. 
My average is up close to two hundred by now. 
I had to get a lot of strikes somehow. 
One day, I shall be the recipient of some...

One pin to attack,
One pin to protect!...
