Best Sprout Poems

The memory span of the average sprout
Means he forgets why the light is out
If life in a fridge will be life without end
Never forget that the dark is your friend

letters, words, verses
ink blossoms sprout from her pen

Even if you are the tanned sprout
tightly packed 
in pretty cane
filled with olive oil 
you could not stop to dream about ocean, 
lolled by such hopes and illusions
seemed groundless absolutely. 
But while your truth is hard and distorted
you will soon unavoidable
unpacked and go to the...

Renewal began with strength

A life so fragile, placed in your hands,
To mold and teach to understand....

To mold a caring and honest soul,
   to teach morals, and to set a goal.
To understand feelings, to accept without change,
   to love without judgment,
To be a friend

A live,...

Ignatius Sprout pushed himself to the surface

As he was the foremost elected leader

Followers, Bamber, Gottre, Bovis and Night

were all reluctant to escape their prison

None could remember how or why they were trapped

Bamber's head popped out, flapping his long green ears

Ignatius frowned down at his friend's...

¡Esta es para ti, señora!
Alfa eres mi brote más hermoso;
Un día, tal vez seas mi esposa más bella

Rodeado de la belleza que Dios ha concedido.
Y tu...

Sprout

It’s a bundle of joy, God’s miracle indeed,
Profound happiness grows rapidly with the seed

Everybody should enjoy this beautiful phase of life,
It took me months to believe there’s actually a life within life

Thanks to technology, it shows you everything,
At times you just don’t believe what you...

Brussel Sprout
Are you the mouse
Always hiding in the house
Where no one ever wanted you
To even have a chew
Just as well we don’t all like
As you can go on to fight
With all your small might
To then give us a fright 
To those of us that did...

Fire
Flames
The ring of fire
To surround my soul aims

Fire of hell
Of despair well
Fire burns anything that lives
Vastness greater than ocean is achieves

Just a droplet of water in the endless fiery sea
Fights for its destiny
Droplet of water maybe a tear
In a heat it might disappear

But in this...

In the land of The Vegetarian,
Lies a land beyond Green Sea
In the realm of the Gourmet Table
Dwells Sir Sprout of Broccoli.

A beaming knight, crest held up high,
Adorned of a brightly wee tree,
The banner of the Green Vegetarian
Inspires Sir Sprout of Broccoli.

Go forth, Sir Sprout, design...

Donald Trump never had any doubt
He could hear Melania shout:
"Oh for goodness' sake
How long does it take
For a couch potato to sprout?"...

The tiny seed wasn’t certain it wanted to sprout
It had been through such trauma above the soil
winds buffeting it this way and that 
striking sign posts and trees 
bouncing off them before being whisked away
once again with no idea when or where it would end...
