Best Rocked Poems

We sit, relaxed, at closing of the day,
you turn, a record on to softly play,
then place, fresh logs making our fire enhance,
and gently bow asking me for this dance.

The song, we’ve loved since we were very young,
so often danced with, and so often sung.
You sing,...

Dedicated to my son, my heart, my Kyle


As infant, he was a smile and precious dimples
  who had experienced no day or night simple.
He constantly battled while growing in the womb
  in order to cease death's increasing threat of doom.
He battled inside the...

Her long silken hair has thinned and turned to grey.
Brother, if we keep trying, I know we can find a way
to keep Mum safe at home, so she need never fear.
I don't want to send her away. I want her to stay near.

Sis, Mum can't...

Now this is a little story of the caravan that rocked
Whether parked in roadside lay-bys, the locals were never shocked

They travelled from the Highlands and motored so far and wide
Exercising their freedom, oh my! that you couldn't hide

They lived just south of Ullapool, and further...

Birthday gifts for my love are a ring and a
Bouquet... each flower a perfect red rose
Halfway to her house, I smiled because it's
Friday! I'll bend on one knee and propose.

Knocked on her door and she was surprised,
Shocked to see me kneeling before her.
Locked in my...

Jimi Hendrix-Played electric guitar with his teeth and left hand
Ripped through scales, held notes, used flames on stage on command

Mezzo-soprano vocals and an "electric" stage presence that’ll ever be

Hoping to See Santa covered in soot
eating his cookies, I dashed barefoot
to the living room and discovered—not
him, but he surely left me a lot:
Barbie doll, diary, candy, nuts, fruit,
books, jump rope, bracelet, and toy flute!

Nobody wants to see me down like I wants to see me up.
—The Unsinkable Molly Brown (Debbie Reynolds as Molly)

Her cradle rocked upon the sea.
Unbreakable was Molly Brown.
Icebergs, she dreamt; the meaning, key.
Her cradle rocked upon the sea.
The lullaby amidst debris.
The infant sleeps, as cries...

Rocked Bees,

Rocked Bees,

Rocked around the clock,

The Queen to sleep,

Bees waked up,

Rocked all minds up-

To give the tiring work up,

Walked over the hive,Bees,

Making flowers a might,

For their freedom fight!...

As I await another hour
And the watching of the clock
I'm torn between two lovers
Internally, I'm emotionally rocked

I'm wearing different faces
Daily, for months I do
In fear of addressing my fears
I've too much too lose

Living in the lives of hearts
So different they are to me
One I have...

still feels queasy about crowd temper
   even as a jaded, seasoned pub singer,
      sincerely booed or jokingly applauded,
         either statement hurts, cruelly loaded;

I love the blue water,
as I am rocked to sleep.
The salt air fills my soul,
as I dream far away.
I am awakening,
to a misty sea day.

A mother is unique
Only one in this life
Her love
Her presence
Her patience
Make you proud
And the eyes
That followed you
And the hands
That rocked the cradle
Will further tell you
The efforts and love
She put in you 
From the very beginning
Is unique...
