Best Stuff Poems


Premium Member 'beach Buddies' Collect 'stuff' - For Contest
Twice a month on our tiny little Isle
A group of heroes go that extra mile
Wearing protective clothing they clean the beach
Removing vast amounts of rubbish within their reach
Plastic bottles, fast food containers and tins
Items tossed away so thoughtlessly – it’s a sin
So many marine animals...

The Box of Stuff
I heard him close shut the attic door,
I snuck in and saw him on the floor.

He found the box that I stored away,
As I turned to leave I heard him say.

“Mom, could you come here for a few,
Whose badge is this and what does this...

Premium Member New Stuff of Earth
Poisonous air streams down
As plastic-laden waters choke
Fishes and  Universal Motion's glow ...
So much has changed through time,
I wail against slow death of UV skin,
while plundered Mother Earth rakes
in her once fertile womb...
yet indifferent hearts care not,
incensed by greed and unrecyled junk.

O children listen; build...

Premium Member Short Stuff
You were always happy, always on the move
with a great zest for life and a heart full of love.

We loved you too and checked to see if you’d get mad
if we mimicked your habits, but you laughed instead.

When we were in school together, you often...

Premium Member Stuff Happens
Life happens when you're busy,
Making other plans,
And things are often side tracked,
By circumstantial demands.

When you least expect it,
And sometimes when you do,
Life throws you a curve ball,
And some folks sit and stew.

They fuss and cuss and grumble,
Stomp their feet and call out names,
When it's just...

Premium Member We Are Stuff As Dreams Are Made On
A bird in hand is worth two in the woods
Teaches us to take care not to be greedy
In the air, quite very easy to build castles
The water and the image are not a reality.

The image of sky and pool, even the wood
This material world is,...

Of Tales, the Stuff of Legends
Great are his exploits
honour and rank
he's celebrated
he's immortalized
He's fondly recalled
Back to memory

The great legends of Old.. 
Great Chief Waiyaki wa Hinga..
Aged nine he killed a lion
with his bare hands...
When the imperialist came.. Waiyaki..
Raised a huge Army armed with bows and arrows

Testing the might of the...

More Room For My Stuff
I go to work to make more money,
to buy more stuff to make home homey,
the only problem now I find,
is theres no room to plant my behind,

So I went out and bought a bigger home,
so all my stuff could have their own zone,
whereas now I...

The Other Stuff
I wanted to buy a dozen red roses
But they refused to touch your hand
The chocolates said that, "You're much sweeter"
And, "Your lips would make them bland"

So I tried to find just the right card
But the words just ran away
There was nothing that the cards could...

Made of Bubbly Stuff
Effervescent
she is
full of sparkle
and fizz

The most resilient
gal around
she's bubbly stuff
(can't keep her down)

Bobbing up
light and airy
full of whimsy
visionary

A playful, funny
fabulous sprite
she glows florescent
in sunlight

People find her
motivating
like champagne
intoxicating

Poignant truth
is what she's after
she gets there
with sassy laughter

Bubbles rising
to the top
break surface tension
with a >POP!<

'Though bitter truth-taste
may offend
you'll...

Sweatin' the Small Stuff
Don't sweat the small stuff, they say...
I see it, a different way....
Small problems easily become big,
Make you pull your hair out,
So you gotta' wear a wig!...

The Write Stuff
This is no laughing matter,
I cannot go to bed.
the Master Poets, like book-bugs,
are sleeping there instead!

The Write Stuff crowds my book shelves.
Words dribble down the wall.
I'll put them in my poems,
and not waste a one at all.

In dreams, I plant poems in the vineyard.
I eat...

I Get a Kick Outta All That Kinky Stuff
Well and I Get A Kick Outta All That Kinky Stuff
You do to me, the way you blow and stick your tongue
In my ears, the way you spank me and make me
Beg for more, the way you pour honey all over my body
And lick me...

Premium Member The Day When No Poetry Exists But You Write Stuff Down, Just Not the Real Stuff Aka Throwaway Words
There's no poetry in me
I'm empty
I'll make sweeping remarks
Change my mind
Keep it in 
Spit it out
Sink and fly
Gaze out in a daze
Lost beneath eyelids 
Too heavy to rise
Too watched to sleep it off by closing
I wish to be enclosed in an embrace that takes away...
