Best Pressure Poems

THE IDIOM I MADE UP IS  - HE EXPLODED LIKE A PRESSURE COOKER

My son has returned to our home
He’s mouthy and just loves to moan
Now nothing is right
We constantly fight
He’s like a dog missing its bone!

His wife was once such a good looker
Her red...

Peer pressure of the worst no matter who they are
They can be a boy or girl that they believe to become martyr's

Strapped to these young souls, is something they just don't understand
Yet the cowards who persuade them to miss, becoming a woman or a man

What,...

Storm clouds gathered in the skies
Swirling angrily and anxious
For the war
Brewing somber colors
Not swept away by the mighty wind.

Finally, holding off no longer,
They exploded in a crash of thunder
As lightning lashed out in pain.
The tension was relieved
While the torrential downpour flowed
Like an avalanche of tears,
And...

pressure that could kill
an eerie, silent chill
parents, friends, family, and peers
all of the pain just burns and seers
they expect too much from me
no clue why they can't see
easily angered by anyone 
I can say my life is no fun
I know they don't care about how...

It’s May 18th, 2022. I’m poised, alone, heart pounding, in front of my laptop, waiting for courage, my finger hovering over the return key, like a child hoping the timing of my keystroke will bring me luck.

I took this summer off - which drove my...

I’ve heard about atmospheric pressure,
but honestly, it’s not a thing I get -
only that it’s something people measure,
and when it’s low, I hear we might get wet!

I guess they never taught me it in school.
In fact, I googled it just now. It said
we’re living in...

Down by the sea amid the frolic and glee
If the sky's blue, you're feeling the breeze
Adore, savor, relish; hear the wind's sigh
Because the atmospheric pressure's high.

On your farm, and all around the town
Calm air, no storms, no need to frown
Dance, bounce, spin, twiddle, twirl in...

Welcome to this club called "Earth"

Your wait will no doubt fill its worth

If you're a breather, have no fear

Your going to like the atmosphere

Mind not the pain behind your eyes

I'll be taking it with me when I rise

You see, the earth requires rain

And lows can...

dear grandson,
little do you know
your every decision
will form your character
result in consequences
and pave your path in life

little do you know
your every decision
the role models you seek
will have an impact on your life
and determine your destiny

little do you know
no matter what
i’ll always be
watching over you ...

When we went to high school
We’d do best to fit in
And our popularity was measured greatly
By the number of our friends

We dressed up in the fashions
That everyone would wear
And only spent time listening
To the gossip out there

And our thoughts and our values
Would always be in...

Oh! How difficult is peer pressure,
It is the identity measurer.
It is knowing who you really are,
When others say you are not who you are.
It forces you to measure up,
To things that you should give up.
It causes you to lower your standards,
To follow those who are...

Thinking back when I was young
I still recall your bitter tongue 
you guys weren’t fooling anyone
behind those plastic smiles.

She felt the daggers in her back
and as she passed I heard you laugh
I’m sure she felt the aftermath
of your relentless wiles.

Your loyal cronies all stood by
and...

you planned your race
to run at pace
and win at any cost

but ran too fast
and finished last
so the prize you sought was lost

had you taken time
to the finish line
you might still have your health

and realize
life's greatest prize
is the prize of life itself....

I have so much to say
so much to show
so much of me
I want to leave behind

     I don't fear death
     what I fear most
     is losing the battle
     against...

“as we passed her she did wilt
which caused in us sense of guilt
since our stance perhaps did cause
to put her heart’s joy on pause

though we’re gentle, not hostile
we diminished her soul’s smile
since our aura as she viewed
scent of love did not exude” —Unseeking Seeker

the passersby...
