Best Sink Poems

I'm thirsty - I needed a drink
There lurking in my kitchen sink 
Lying flat on his back
He’s no longer jet black
A hedgehog…now he doesn't stink!

Corralled Beneath A Slow Sink Of Half-Moons
 { After: Section LXIX of Memoriam by Tennyson}

An angel of soft and wanted touch, 
she delivers, serenity in tow; 
can this sunken vessel proclaim, as much, 
agreeing to lift the pain from my soul! 

Will this humble plea...

Found some inner peace
But the outcome was rather bitter sweet

Out in the woods where the timber creaks
And many critters sleep
Nearby a place where several rivers meet

Realize not all have a bite of dinner to eat
And that sometimes a winner cheats

The news was delivered by speech
And...

A plain beige kitchen. LED lights are lined along the top of the cabinets. Bright red bar stools line up next to the breakfast bar. The only flash of color. An old gas stove and oven, stained with black from past misuse. A sink in...

My hands penetrate warm dish water
An effect of silken skin,
Rainbow eyes sparkle
Spy me as I move within,
It’s all I have left for comfort,
For life which has given
Sure does make one pay,
Now all alone with no more dreams
When each end of day you drain away.

Drip, drip, drip
Watch for water or you'll trip
Drop, drop, drop
Someone better get the mop
Drip, drop, drip
Dumb gravity! I slip--
Drop, drip, drop
Someone, make the water stop!...

Lest sink in 
Darkness! 

Grind my smiles 
Which, remained  
Hidden in your letters and 
Trapping in poems  

Make it a soup 
Flavoring in clamminess dawn, 
Roses shame, and 
April breeze, that restless
 In spikes  

Lest sink in, 
Darkness! 

Present it to you...

Why did you, friend, tell me your secret?
I mean you know I can keep it,
but are you trying to break me?
Don’t you see the broken girl I see?
I can’t handle any more problems
since I already hit rock bottom,
but you want me to carry your load,
traveling...

the sink drips of your tears and shines with your sweat
it cleanses our homestead and centres the kitchen cheers
it smells of your cookery delights
of every plate and pot you scrape
and of every scorn you bake

the tap tightens after every refreshing drink we taste
the kitchen sink...

those who cannot swim
will not drown in the water
if they stay on land

those who cannot swim
should not drown in the water
if they use a boat

those who cannot swim
should not drown in the water
if they learn to swim

swimmers never drown
unless they enter water
and even boats sink

water...

I like Arthur 
stack my dishes 
high in mounds of glass and steel 
like castles in the sink they rise
until the very top 
when wet they slip  
to their and my demise...

Drowning in labels
not Aesop Fables
not normal retard
like being slapped hard
born an army brat
Lady was the cat
without hardly any hair
they would laugh they would stare
they called me hippie
I seemed so wimpy 
stuttered bad in school
looked on as a fool
Navy my biggest break
fluent speech I did make
head...

Sink or Swim?

I never learned how to swim at all 
I was young and fell in as I recall
I was frightened of water after that
And reacted to water just like a cat

I never had chance to swim in the sea
I wish I could but that...

***  RATE THE BATTLE  ***

Rate your pain, they always want to know,
On a scale of one (least) to ten (worst — “like hell,” they say),
Although, I think, that should be reversed, because at
One, first, this pain is anguishing; wanting to be foremost;
Rooted under...

Bowing to the mighty ocean 
Relentless is her pull,
Into the blue depths
'Til she's good and full

Ice took it's first shot
As steady we ran right in,
Sailing along so freely
As a whale on his fin

Crashing, just scraping by
Then onto a dead stop,
I write this letter now
While I...
