Best Sniffled Poems

A final ugly bellow followed by the front door's slam and then. . .
the natural and sweet respite of silence. 
She remained where he'd left her 
and faced a pair of stony eyes staring back at her from the bathroom mirror. 
Stoically she stood, anger-fingers...

The Williwonk rose from its hibernating sleep
And jumped up in joy with a sinuous leap.
Time for some mischief, he mischievously said,
I'll shake up Manvile and fill them with dread.

For such a vile creature was the Williwonk,  you see
Quite different from the likes of you...

Today I stopped to smell a rose
And got a fairy in my nose.
She buzzed her little fairy wings
She kicked and punched and other things.

It kind of tickled as she fought
But all her struggling was for naught.
Like glue my boogies held her there
Her tiny frame lodged...

Stars In My Heart

Free from pain, he lay aloof and still on the bier
I saw him sleep motionless with no trace of fear
Recanting the prayers after the village priest-head
Eyes lowered I sniffled and dropped my heavy head

Sandalwood logs and incense were placed above him
Saline tears...

Walking down road of life and 
we're talking. 
Sharing our stories- laughing 
and gawking. 

While expressing the troubles 
that made your day hard- 
A climax interrupted,
The ending was scarred. 

A bridge built to pass, we 
thought it would last. 
Like spilling a glass, our 
moment...

There was a time throughout this land 
    when all was well and kind.
Where Wood Sprites, Fairies and Pixie dust 
    were not that hard to find.
But times have changed with the forest quiet 
    and...

The sun had been courteously shining,
But disappeared progressively.
The clouds became dark and rushing;
I heard several thunderous thunders.

Small and scattered drops of rain started falling.
Then, it started raining and pouring; 
With no umbrella, I compacted my paces.
I was critically soaked but paddled forward.

I became like a...

He sat himself down on the edge that evening with the gravest of sadness trickling with his tears and a whimper that shook his body. As he fixed his position to one more suitably comfortable, he watched as his legs languidly wandered with the strong...

The ball flew straight ahead
Smacking her right in the head

I pitched it to her
It came so fast, it happened in a blur

She sniffled in pain
As I thought in my brain,

I could have said, "Head's up!" or "Watch out!"
But I watched as the coach said, "Timeout!"

My...

"If anything were to ever happen,"
whispered a girl with heavy eyes and lips,
"remember to set your alarm for six,
you have a bad habit of sleeping in."
She sighed as the sky began to blacken 
and sniffled in sync with the faucet drip.
"If everything falls and your smile...

In dominant night chill of the winter breeze,
As i walked into the realm that was ceased,
A dark cluttered voice converged and groomed,
echoed with an offense that was bloomed,
the unsullied calamity that befallen on the doomed,
I heard a loud whisper tangled with a resolve,
More furious and...

I invited my oldest daughter to dinner for her half birthday.
It was highly embarrassing when she wrestled me to
The ground for the check, and I landed in some guy’s lap.
Sorry, I said. “This is my daughter.”
She glared at me.

“Why did you do that?” she asked...

She glanced up furtively from the shelter of the doorway
Huddled against the cold
In a tattered spring jacket three sizes too big for her
Bitter winter wind rushed down her neck and through her sleeves
A scruffy stray dog sniffled at her suspiciously, hopefully
Then sauntered off down the...

at 8 11 a.m. I met destiny by surprise
shadows of grey clouds took over my sky
the sun sizzled out in the rain
puddles of dirty water splattered on my legs

shower water heated up until steam blinded me
I found particles of gravel from asphalt in the tub

Memories of whip-lashing words 
steeped me deep into a roil of rancid oil
my soul a weeping blistered sore  
my heart a gangrene amputee 
pus-green-memories rupture to plague me 
infection still oozes from core’s moaning cracks

in a pale cringe I sniffled   cold floor...
