Best Soaker Poems
Adieu AprilAdieu April
Adios you soggy segue
nature’s mud pie maker
roof top drummer
dog soaker
puddle teaser.
Au Revoir
cool breathed friend
easing the ice from its depths
cajoling the worms
play peek-a-boo
with the Robins.
Bon Voyage old vagabond
titillating transient
instinct whisperer
spring’s pheromonal scent
arousing dormant need.
Farewell
fading water colors
dashes of Jonquil yellow
sprayed among Bluebonnets
triumphant Tulips
surrounded by
Dandelion minions.
“Parting is...

Monsters BewareOh, little sister, just remember what I've said
Don't you worry 'bout those monsters, hiding underneath your bed
They think they got me scared
Like a frightened little boy
But I got some news for them
I just bought some brand new toys
I have a super soaker, that's filled...

Thirst For LifeSummer's sun at noon is a wilting torture,
scorches earth and withers the flowers' faces.
Breath to whistle shrinks away, throats athirst are
choking for nurture.
Dessert's climate visits Missouri's surface,
cries for rain are shared by all earthly feeders.
Turtles, lizards, frogs, and the birds begin a
desperate search for
shelter. Foliage...

Sapphic stanza
Player 2I spit game proper, like a pro-batter, I got the right stroke
I work deals, like it's Black-Friday, I'm far from broke
I can't help but make the girl proud and gay
Want some of my time, like takes, you too gotta' pay
Like a hole, she do nothing...

Long-Long WinterThe pricking needles of cold stars and hoarfrost
hypnotizingly sparkling in the dense crispy air,
a half-sky pearl hallo crowns the dead mercury-liquid Moon;
violent blizzards have been finally superseded by severe frost.
Grasses are peacefully sleeping under the snow whiteness.
Fords, Mercedeses, BMWs, Nissans are moving slowly
groping...

A Fresh 3mx3m Canvas Is On the Floor..To paint I do so adore..
Four cans of paint are waiting to be poured...
I hear you say "What for?"
Let's use a ladle we have in store.
Are you sure?
Let's fill a super-soaker...
On a tilt-a-door?
One,two,three,four..
your action painting is now drying
on the rumpus-room floor....

Termite Whiteant FixTermite/Whiteant fix
Out in west Queensland,
Lived a white ant pestered man,
Cos the white ants were attacking ,
Chomping on his house quite grand.
They seemed to love the skirting boards,
And would climb to get in em,
There in millions billions bloody hordes,
What would he do with dem?
He was...

28 DaysAmerica claims that all are created equal is the foundation that we’re built on.
Well, if that is true why Americans of African descent only get 28 days.
28 days to tell about great leaders, Such as, Harold Washington, General Colin
Powell, Carol Mosley Braun and others....

Draw a BathDraw the blinds,
Draw a bath.
Just you and I
...do the math.
Wash my back,
Come on in.
If it feels this good
It must be sin.
Soapy legs
Encircle we two.
A soaker tub
For me and you.
In the tub
It's time for play.
This is how
We end the day....

Watering the GardenHow I miss Spring with showers supreme
rainy weather kept everything green
But now it's June in the summer heat
have to water or it's your garden's defeat
An early heatwave it is blazing hot
everything gets scorched especially in a pot
so watering each morning never stops
thirsty plants need watering...

Summer Water WeaponsSummer Water Weapons
Forty caliber water gun
Holding off the summer heat
To lay in wait behind the hedge
Then beat a hasty wet retreat.
Super soaker weapon of choice
Beneath the scorching summer sun
Secret cache given away when
Drippy footprints circle back in fun.
Squirt guns douse the O.K. Coral
Gunslingers in flip...

I'M Drowning- -In my sweat I am drowning
My passion is the coast ward soaker
Off the beaten path resounding
What could there be more purely mediocre?
I was a weather forecast and you a gale
In my tears I'm crying, I am drowning
Off the beaten path resounding
What could there be more...

CoconutThe suffix nut specifying the skull,
defining the coconut, is misplaced,
for it’s not truly a nut,
but botanically, a drape.
A salinity soaker, the prolific palm,
sultry sea-shore colonizer copious,
it’s sky-searching trunk with spiny leaf crown
holds the fruit, the traditional tropical icon.
In certain societies around the globe,
a notable cultural...

Quiet on SilhouetteFlorid banshees recoiled, neck and hankering sneer.
A succinctly exuberant suggestion when selective.
Came on, fell flat with laconic ornamentation.
A miniature jaunt, interment; glove comparted.
Pin-striped foxtails attuned tune maddening clairvoyants.
Precisely predisposed, wine-flavored latten tobaccos.
A wooden-tipped juxtaposition, stilling waisted.
Bygone midge nonguarded, slunk olive drabbing on bayou.
Thicken handkerchief lightly...
