Best Roof Poems

When life gives a choice don't ask why
Don't dwell in dark under a star-lit sky
If music starts playing go find your voice
Don't ask why when life gives a choice

Every life will smile bearing a gift of joy
Echoing sounds of a harmonious ploy
Spreading cheer, donning perky...

There’s a goat on my roof and he won’t come down;
there’s a goat on my roof, acting like a clown.
That clip-clop of hooves, what obnoxious noise;
though it’s amazing, his level of poise.

What drew him there, I do not know,
there wasn’t any food or foe.
Just walking...

On the edge of sleep
lulled by the rain on the roof
my fluffy pillow
whispers a telling secret
sudden damper on my dreams

as brave strong smart
kind long-haired
comfortable unhappy creative
warm encouraging inspiring
memorable

who writes with abandon
lives with abandon
and no plans
late is on time and schedules -- ha!
the nerve of suggesting I'm
the one who is crazy

call me every letter of the alphabet
I'll give you a word for each
one and count...

FROM MY ROOF TOP

From my roof top I see the world crumbles
I saw people of mine shout, endlessly
They shout for two common things
They shout for these two alone
Prosperity and democracy
They want an answer and their voices heard
But they were denied, all
An tears run down my...

There once was an odd fiddler on the roof

     Townsfolk thought of him as the village goof

          He was a nuisance and pain

UP THE LADDER
UP THE ROOF
UP CAME A CROW
UP CAME A POOP
UP CAME MY FIST
UP CAME A SHOUT
UP CAME A TILE
UP I SLIPPED
UP ON A POST
UP CAME A SORE 
UP CAME THE AMBULANCE
UP THE HOSPITAL
UP WENT THE NEEDLE 
UP WENT A ROAR.

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof 



 I felt my finger nails digging into his back 
What an intensified sexual moment 
I never knew that tears could roll 
Down the cheeks of a robust man 

he wept! he sigh! he came 
Again, and again and...

three cats on the roof
mew to the  moon to come down
with a can of fish

The musical was near ready to start
When someone let off a rip roaring fart
The smell was horrific 
All had a sniff of it
‘Twas a bummer of an ass drummer’s fine art.

The show opened with a trumpet fanfare 
As the audience were gasping for air
The one...

so you gotta second chance to take part in the dance
 life is being busy making other plans you understand
 as a young child I would dream of far off places
 stuck in certain traces with castles built for kings & queens
 a balance of...

Sheets and bolts of distant lightning
Backdropped by a blue gray sky
Rumbling thunder softly, deeply
As the steady pitter patter, pitter patter
Of rain on a tin roof fluctuating
Playing symphonies to the soul
With natural melodic choruses
And invitations to the Ancient dance
Of wind-driven clouds sweeping low
Whirling visions and peace...

Compare me not with my brothers;
One common roof, we only share
Not the same story, not the same purpose.
One story differs from another;
We serve different purposes.
Not all are meant to reach the sky,
Some are but to run the dry land
And some, to swim in the deep...

I
Wolves howl, wonderfully if eerily, as winds -
Under the weather when weather is artic
One least expects this clime in the tropics
His tin roof resists, rattles, reverberates 
Wrapping a cloak more tightly, he falls to his knees
The spiders, sparrows, and starlings cohabiting hear, "LORD, please -
Save...
