Best Sweating Poems

Anxious and sweating
Running away from the crash
She feared for her life...

He spun the wheel,
no big deal there;
no real money.

In a short while.
that big smile of
poor Lyle vanished.

He pursed his lips,
Gripped his chips and
Took nips of gin....

I was nervous before I first posted
Apprehensive what people would think
Would my poems be lauded or roasted
Hit submit and then grab a stiff drink. 

My words on the screen looked so helpless
I had exposed them for others to see
And there I sat nervous and clueless
And...

the music is sweating in the room
strings and reeds bump and grind
slow-dragging dancers entwine
oh the fruit is ripe upon the vine
and the wine of love and laughter
a mingled vintage- joy and tears
now are drunk down to the dregs
then another round is poured

urgency prowls the crowd's...

My eyes watch the trees grow
as the sun sheds sweat.
The yellow beads of sweat taste sweet on my open mouth.
I am lost in all the sweetness around me.
The sun is sweating so much, it looks like rain.
Perspiration watering the trees
So I can watch them grow...

as I am here this warm evening
pressing the microphone button 
on my smart phone 
John Quincy Adams sits beside me 
at his congressional desk 
while Thomas Edison is sitting nearby
at a bench in Menlo Park and 
Archimedes is lounging 
down the hall in his bath...

Homework, friends, no time to spend,

watching TV or being lazy.

Assigned to work, no choses for you,

but TOUGH cookies all the pressures on you know who!

Tests, quizes, and exams, the teachers say 'SHAZAM!'

Think they know how hard it can be, on one who is always busy?!
NO!

sweating snow, travel
a go?  heavenly flakes
fluttering, stimulating, drawing
attention to themselves

cockapoo doesn’t sweat
his tail, sweep
sweep,sweep

his black coal nose nuzzles
the glorious landscape
slowly inches, back
to hearth and home

idly i stare, through off-white
curtains - they seemed white
yesterday; today
a go? impact:
will we head home…

sweating shame
feeling disconnected
from you
such a shame

i am in shambles
because of my life's
shambles, which was 
in shambles
when shambles was 
just a question in my
mind

sweating shame
feeling disrespected
by you
such a pain

i am in denial
because of my
ego's denial, which
was in denial
when denial was just
a happening in other
peoples' lives

sweating shame
feeling...

(My late father was a construction worker.Remember him on Father's Day.)
The construction workers with
Sweating foreheads
Dry throats
Burning skins 
Blinding eyes
Struggle to build 
An air-conditioned roof 
Under the sun
For you and especially for you
While themselves 
Working at a place
Without a fan or an air conditioner
But under a...

Tears behind the cocktails,
Rowing down to calmness
Oasis was found,
Pure life's gratitude
I found after my mistake.
Confident I feel while I'm breathing loneliness.
Awake with open eyes
Lonely in a tropical island.

Isolated in the middle of the world, I wonder. I wander.
Sun shines above me with compassion, but I'm...

Seeping and crawling came my fear.
I couldn’t see it very clear.
Tension mounting as it came near,
Transforming it into a tear.

Anxiously waiting, couldn’t hear,
My eyes were staring with a leer.
Then I felt it, it seemed so clear.
Arriving quickly, it was here.

Shimmering, I felt it unfold.
Negative thoughts...

The short order cook is getting delirious at five in the morning
Beads of sweat showing under his funny hat
As he stares blankly at the eight new orders on the wheel,
And wonders when the drunks
	Will all have enough and go home.
	I’m one of the drunks
		From a...

?Sweltering on the leather 
front seat,
With sweat coming down 
my tanned legs.
Feeling like being cooked,
as helpless,sunnyside up,eggs!

Those silver shades on the front 
window, 
don’t do me any good.
As I sit here, soaking, in my
California neighborhood!

Rather be in the house with a 
cool glass of pink,...
