Best Split Poems

early morning sun
a brand new day is dawning
hear
the cockerel crow

sun beams from heaven 
with uplifting mellowness 
they 
brighten up our world 

scorching hot sunshine
summer has arrived at last
eat
cooling ice cream cones

beautiful sunset
spectacular orange sky
soon
darkness will descend

The road split two ways
  The traveler stood and stewed
He was holding up traffic
  Though he sought not to be rude

One sign said, 'The Easy Life'
  The other, 'Eternal Rest'
He honestly didn't know
  Which one would be best

He heard a voice...

If I could split myself in two
One half of me I'd give to you,
The other half I'd send away
To be with her like yesterday.
Though it sounds harsh, this I would do
If I could split myself in two.

If I could split myself in two
One half for...

A banana split can be a work of art.
With the fruit cut lengthwise in half is where we start.
Three scoops of our favorite ice cream go on top.
Whatever flavor, use the cream of the crop.
On each scoop go toppings of pineapple, chocolate, and strawberry.
Above that...

L ittle voices, rising in volume and pitch

C oats, hats, muffs, mitts, sweaters, gloves, socks, shoes, and boots on 39

trees with sprouting limbs
bathed by spring's April showers
don
their lacy green robes

trees with dense full limbs
swayed by warm summer breezes
spread
their green velvet capes

trees with brilliant limbs
whirled by the cool autumn winds
shed
their burnished gold gowns

trees with cold bare limbs
frozen by winter blizzards
drape
their white fluffy scarves

lavender florets
sway their hems to a gold wind...
as
queen bee jiggles


aisle of lush gardens 
invite morn's jaybirds on flight...
coo
cooing sweet tunes


dew bathes newborn plants
evergreen their christened ribs...
from
heaven's blessings


such bright assemblage
displays lush April's glory
when 
spring thrills charmed hearts

Life is ebbing quickly, …just as the sun must fall.
If we listen close enough, our number will be called.
Can you hear a ticking clock, unwinding in the dark?
Keeping tempo like a train,  that speeds upon a track?
Eyes may never look ahead, and heads will...

Summer’s sweetest natural dessert
Presented itself to me in the form of a
Large seeded watermelon that
I found by chance at a local food stand.
Thrilled was I to see such a perfect specimen!

Wide, round, and green,
It had a yellowish underside and those “bee stings”
Desired by people who...

Depression will steal your motivation and desire,
and use it to build a heap and then light it on fire.
You'll start to feel hate much more, but for no reason,
and your behaviour toward close ones nears treason.

The drugs and alcohol you use do not help your...

The Withered Rose

				The withered rose
				May be tattered and torn
				Scorned by past trauma

				Still, she is beautiful…

Lickety Split

Life is a vessel 
Inside my mind
Creeping along
Knowingly
Elan is over when the sails topple 
The wind ceases
Youth, and lulls old age

Such is the ascent and descent 
Pressing on now in quick montages
Life in its infancy to ending
In a blink of prized tuna and weathered...

“Love is a power so strong, yet if compressed without
 outlet, it is as good as stagnant waters"---by poet


 As we roamed under the star spangled sky, 
Sharing many a trivial thought
I failed to voice my clandestine whim
Structured within my heart's inmost core
When words got...

In the speechlessness 
of your breathlessness,
I breathe vigorously
to arouse your former arising,
too afraid to touch 
a corpse in the making. 
Could another's spare years 
restore your time? 
Could another's breath 
bring back your air?
Could my hyperventilation, 
like our blended heart,
be split in half to share?...

In quiet, space breaks down into insight.
Opposing the edge amidst deceit and blight.
Imperceptible resonation is reflected back.
On a hunch, or at the stroke of night track.

A lethal tree is still close in the woodlands.
The spirit was trailing on the kist of the tree.
At first, kids...
