Best Suitcase Poems

Consider, Recall, Reflect, Hesitate, Tremble
           Before your life's vast sweep.

     Step back; Try to fathom
           How much it's all meant.

Every morning, when I walk under my cherry trees,
There is soothing breeze which awakens my senses,
The flash back of life events roll before my eyes,
I am sent in soul searching and search for the meaning of life,

Long ago, I came to USA with a suitcase...

There is a poor poor man
I watch frigid winds blow his way
He carries his suitcase of regret
As his light slowly turns to grey
If only he puts it down 
I'm sure he'd be okay
But he keeps on carrying it 
day after day.

As I go into my...

My darling, you've lost the power of speech
But your smiles and laughter need no interpretation!
All I have are memories; some hazy, some clear
Is it crazy that I can't remember what your voice sound like?
You would talk to anyone and everyone!
You'd brighten the day of the...

Thus packed, my simple case

               What love, lost, does displace


Clothes and dreams and needs

               The waste of...

you will never know where you forget it
or lose it,
the night is an overstuffed  suitcase
that you never know when it will open wild,

i saw you walking, even more,
i touched you a little with my elbow
everywhere
on the platform it opened like the mouth of a...

You stood in your bedroom
clutching your Paddington Bear suitcase
With tears in your eyes
you said you’re leaving home
You’d packed your toy cars
and brightly coloured Lego bricks 
Don’t forget your favourite bear
I said with a smile
Please don’t leave me son …
It’s not easy being three!

MAN   IN    A    SUITCASE

Used to joke  how Gregory Peck  was my father                   
But never knew why I...

Dollies, doilies and daisies are not akin to a painting in a suitcase

Turtle trumpeters. The chopping capabilities of the large carnivorous cheese plant. Their leaves dripped with blood. Why run of two live jet streams of battery when the one within works fine and is...

My heart is an empty suitcase
That I store in the attic
It waits for me to fill it with all the things I need to leave. 
One time I took it down overhead 
stepping on the stepladder 
down to the hall to my closet,
And filled it...

Nothing has left but these plenty of clothes
Not even the burden from the past
Not even happiness that had last
Out of the wonderland is the last destination

Living in the world that swept all the love
You find your first love but you fail to grip it along
Failure...

Tortoiseshell tulips often grow at left angles to the moon and are otherwise adjusted to a sealed lip of ground. But a curled canopy of shredded wheat and oats make even the wildest of gardens bloom. It is within the great oceanography of a garden...

A blue-eyed man
knocked on the door to my heart.
I opened.
But the ways of life got us crushed
I realize I have to get unbroken.
Pack up the suitcase, leave for other parts
on to the unspoken....

So my son is knocking up
The alphabet at the worktable

He's onto the letter 'j'
(Should it have a hat or not?)

"Downward stroke, with a curl,
Then stab his face."

He's onto the letter 't'
(The Romans pronounced it 'tay')

"Downward stroke, then slap
Him across the mug."

The ancients kept reversing and
Rotating...

My room implodes
As I pack my bag.
I drag it from the corners
And pull it down to the center
Brushing off the old stardust
To make room for new.
It is a black hole and I
Am on the edge of it
Standing here in a near vacuum
Capturing the last few...
