Best Rev Up Poems

Ted’s libido has now gone astray
He refused a quick roll in the hay
So what could be the cause -   
It’s the male menopause   
He’s been grumpy and snappy all day!
 
His testosterone levels have dropped  
Many Viagra pills he has...

Wake up fresh in the morning, free from daytime's infections
   Splash a pot of coffee on your pristine complexion  

Rev up your car's engine: Send a cloud of smoke into the air
   Motor off to work: Emit toxic pollutants over...

Rev up your engines
  O, youth of today
The challenge before you
  Is to find a smooth way

To ease out the old
  and bring in the new
Without transforming the world
  to a dark witch's brew

You've seen what can happen
  when we...

legs churning
lungs burning 
feet heavy
heartbeat unsteady 

another mile to go 
toughness time to show 
now or never go for the glory 
thats the story 

late night hours 
no fear, never cowers
shifting gears
to the crowd's cheer's 

given up many an indulgence 
to be an athlete of...

5. MIDNIGHT DREAMS 
At night the soldiers sometimes dream
of many things which make them scream,
like
                      floating down a gelid...

Best be those who mind their tees and traps
for a green man lurks in the swamps
wanting to win over the lives of the tramps
mucking their way to rev up the amps.

Life costs plenty true and to be sure
so a pot of gold is good as...

My "Blue" Equinox sitting in the driveway;
Can't wait to get in it and enjoy the day.
I am going to rev up the engine ride all over town,
To show off the "Blue" that I finally found.
I have wanted this SUV for a very long time,
"Blue" with...

Merry Go
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire

AAAY..
It is the pluck of dawn
In full mettle moxie
Morning is examined
YAAY..
I am afresh and wake up
I am breathing again
Ready stable and able
Bouncing and determined
First eat is the porridge on the table
Aay say I beautiful day
Yay sunrise has been created
Morning Santos 
My soccer mad...

"I'm told I'm free to try, so try I did,
    but then the shrewd wins with the highest bid;
        I'm tired of being told that I am free,

Revving Up Life

Half asleep by my window
watching swirling snow
outside - memories drift
like a slide show, pictures
of my youth so long ago,
almost as real to me today
as the events were then.

Snippets of childhood – 
I am three, stung by a bee, 
James plastering mud on
my arm,...

A breathing machine
is what I've become
no engine to rev in anger.

A tower of bones
with hands to shake hands
but no strength to hold onto purpose.

These feet making tracks,
they don't fill big shoes
and the shadow I cast will not make the news.

The direction that I'm going,
the perfection...

Rev up, rev up
engine roaring racing such
never boring lighting fast

birthday blast cars vroom-vroom
Carlin's runs on females hearts

They roam the streets with such evil grins,
Spreading mayhem wherever they've been,
Smashing pumpkins, toilet papering trees,
Stealing candy from good little girls and boys,
They are known in these parts,
As the pumpkin gang.

They ride their bikes throughout the town,
Terrorizing both the young and the old,
Chasing teens down...

This morning I am not in the finest mood
Can’t be a lack of sleep or the lack of food,
I cannot account for my apparent malaise
Could be I’m going through a difficult phase
Mostly discontent with myself, I think,
Trapped in couplets may cause me to drink!
Every word...

I am living proof of life after death.
Weakened and not yet at full power,
My heart beats in a quieter rhythm
than when you were alive.
I have been making the necessary repairs.
Hammering out the dents.
Checking for a spark.
Watching the gauges.
Listening for a hum or a ping.
Polishing the...
