Best Splash Around Poems


Premium Member When the Streets Are Wet
There is one kind of beauty in a morning walk illuminated by the moon..and yet…there is a different kind of beauty walking after a rain…when all the streets are wet.

The streets take on a glow…one you never see at noon…the shadows seem to shimmer in...

Premium Member Wake-Up, Wake-Up and Let's Play
Here is my newborn brother to celebrate the day!
Together we'll splash around in mud spots eating tater tots.
Wake-up, my brother, wake-up and let's play!

There's no time for a baby snooze for the sun we shall lose!
I'll have you hold the phone books while I get...

My Home, My Pond, My Freedom
Away from the world
from the hustle and bustle
making friends with the residents
tucked in
among the cattails and bank of elephant ears
sitting in the dainty, mahogany lean-to
It seems it is just the screen that prevents me from sharing their world
a world where they can all live freely
but...

The Slimy Toad
Silently the slimy toad,
Squirmed his way down the shiny road,
And to his followers cried,
‘to Babylon where we’ll not be denied
Lilly ponds and fields of plenty,
tended over by noble Gentry
with cash and causes of great intent,
shall let us live or lives content’.

“Oh Leader! They all did...

Finding a Home
Finding a Home

I always yearned for the sky to turn blue
Walking in the rain was all I knew
I would halfheartedly splash around
My true feelings never did make a sound
Never did have a home
Optimistically I thought it was luck to freely roam
Walked around in my waned...

It Breathes
I wonder if it’s that hard?
I am young and full of years.
I walk this beach every day and watch
The tides come in, and drive back out.
Birds fly gracefully above my head and
The breeze blows sand into my face.
My feet sink into the damp out skirt...

Frogs and Lilly-Pads
Frogs 

They sprinkle and splash  around

Frogs jumping up and down everywhere

It is the best season of the year

    Lilly- pads


Lilly pads are waiting for someone

To sit on them

Like a king sitting on his throne

There Is a Brighter Side
Picture#1 -"No! means NOTHING to a duck-
(A duck chasing a young girl across a yard)


Today, I went to the pond 
to sit and eat a snack
I shared a little here and a 
little there with my buddy
He has a white, plump body 
of down and...

Insomnia
In the small hours of the morning under silver salted skies
I am fast asleep while wakeful and I see through half closed eyes
Though my bed has long been calling I am gazing at the stars
Hearing moonbeams splash around me like the riffs of grand guitars
Tiny...

Operating At a Loss
I
How long have I been doing this
Throwing my time & money
Into a hole
Filling up notebooks
Mining overheard conversation
For lines
Squeezing the sponge
Of my wine soaked
Mind
Into the bucket
Of poetry
And now here we are
Gulping down the
Lead tainted water
Like Romans
Romans
Forced to eat
Wooden fruit
To amuse a mad
Emperor
Isn´t it time
To call it...

I have a rubber ducky
His name is Mr. Quack
He likes to splash around with me
When I'm in the bath...

Premium Member Words, the Heart of Imagination
Imagined words, I will retrace
they're whispered, clear, from somewhere back in time...
These words I hear, can't be erased
I will reclaim, within my mind

I'll climb aboard this train of thought
and will recall, what's been forgot
and feel a gentle nudge, or two
to tread through words I've never...

The Pig
It was a cold and muddy day
as Gertrude lay smiling.
Just the kind of weather 
that she adored.
She could splash around 
for hours in the glop 
and guzzle up 
all her shlopp 
when it was time.
Oh how she loved 
the sound 
of the hog-call.
It would signal...

Give Me a Sign
Give me a sign

I was a soldier of war,
the killing haunts me every day...

I don't want to fight no more,
hope God, will hear me when I pray

I've got water to my neck, but,
all I can do is splash around...

My life is in distress, and I...

There are people to see and places to go like the Ocean when the waves come and splash around and get deep and the water runs to the end of the sand castle...
