Best Sit Tight Poems

Just as bees squeeze like watermelon seeds
Spit across apricot fields
My wife and I on Friday
Join the lines of highways up north

Pulled by hilltops to the Leelanau blue sky

Where lakes stir in the wind at the citrus rims
Of wine valleys below
And cherry orchards blossom in row...

I bought a box of smiles
Now I'm in a perdicament
Since there's only a few
How do I best use them

Do I pull out a smile when I see a child
Or wait for a funny situation 
Do I cut one in half to add to a nervous...

Mae West 
Large chest.

Cruise ship
Sea trip. 

Blue meth
Spells death. 

Clap more
Encore. 

Sun burn
Ne'er learn. 

Birds fly
Sky high. 

Palm trees 
Blue seas. 

Drunk tank
It stank. 

Red light
Sit tight. 

Wear pink
Boys wink. 

Bright bling
Gold ring. 

She bakes 
Nice cakes. 

Sea shore 
Waves roar. 

Sex toy
Lewd joy.

Adrift upon the ocean  
bob a bunch of resting birds.
What is it that they call themselves?
A flock or school or herd?

Could it be this feathered colony  
is a band or horde at best
No screeches, calls or gaggling,
they don’t brood or crowd or nest

Spread...

The Trails of Sanity

Why do I care if the disturber carries on
Why is it I cannot just wait it out, bide my time
Be more mindful, try and bond
Embrace what I don’t understand
Welcome the scorching taste in my mouth
I wait, I watch, and watch and wait
what...

You have asked what I do see
From my Magic Window
If you really want to know
Sit tight here I go. 

From my Magic Window
I see the future and the past
Time before creation 
And time before man

Where the dinosaur moved
Through the rocky hills
And Eons later their remains
Give...

Order by offer
Ingredients do matter
Stuck in first trouble

Boiling some flavors
Pudding missed in sweet manner
Moulding successfully failed

Yet we feel give up
Deserve for a second chance
Re-mould done! Relieved...

Sit tight in a fridge
Naughty pudding had a plan
Mission to seduce

Tempted by its look
My husband eat for a slice
Mother-in-law scold

Naughty...

It is night
2 am
I am driving to the store for cigarettes
A short trip

Or it would be
Except the light turns red
The minute I reach it
I slow my car to a crawl

Hoping that I can inch my way forward
That if I just take my time
It will turn...

we get ready
the family is steady
its bright lights
as we sit tight
its
FAMILY MOVIE NIGHT...

Where are you?

Where are you?
The only one that I seek in day and night, where are you?
      Within every glimpse of my vanished sight, where are you?
You are the ultimate soul of love and peace; do not hide.

If you sit tight, and promise not to spite
I will tell you a story, when I was not in my glory
grade one, a new chapter
who knew my teacher would be a captor?
that’s right! I said it!
a washroom run, she did not permit
there I stood
as still...

African rape of democracy 
She is citadel of beauty,
Crown in all nature bulden 
Nature made her, her blessing of 
duty
Atlantic, Equator, desert are beauty 
then


They came in Khaki and iron 
Rape her raining to harmattan 
season
Emptied, she is made in the sun
Her natural endowment with...

Autumn Rhyme by Sabrina Oliver

I woke up this morning like amber, 
Feeling the depths of my fire burn.
Exalting cold, dark shadows that linger,
Waiting for the clock, tic-toc, let it turn,
And rising crimson under flame yearns.
Under the Urn found truth and beauty Yates.

Waiting for my pumpkin...

No one lied, get it out of your mind
Don't start badmouthing again, putting your foot in your mouth
knocking your teeth around 
You saw the warning signs, you are not a rodeo clown
This isn't new to you
this happened before, it was bound to happen
Without struggle, there...

Surrounded by starlight, lost in deep night
Under street light, poet in moonlight

Walking through mist thick fog
A way through the woods to home made of log
Quiet lake in the mountains far retreat
Sand thread through toes over feet

Knocked off around mid-day
Sun on my face right where I...
