Best Thieves Poems
The Prado ThievesI noticed her limp immediately
when she sat next to me on the bench
in the park outside of the Prado.
I inquired about her deep brown eyes
behind her octagonal glasses
that looked sad and defeated.
“I was robbed here yesterday,
during siesta,” she said.
“Two men with knives
jumped out from the...

One of Two ThievesOne of two thieves
You can only be
One of two thieves
Better choose wisely
One of two thieves
One scorned and mocked Him
Which of two thieves…?
One had to love Him
Which of two thieves…?
One joined the loud crowd
Which of two thieves…?
Which one are you?
You saw His glory?
Which one are you?
Laughed...

Beggars and ThievesMaybe I feel sorry for;
The amongst us thieves;
The ones who give to us;
But don't ever receive.
Maybe beggars can't be choosers;
Like lovers amongst the abusers;
That's a game I refuse to play:
Before they roll the dice, they make you pay.
You call us versions of Robin Hood;
Just...

The Thieves On the Cross SoliloquyLord be my salvation.
Lord be my salvation in times of necessity.
Lord be my salvation.
I am just a wretched soul in a perilous acquaintance looking within iniquity.
Lord have mercy on me.
Lord deliver me.
Lord deliver me from the purgatory I am confound.
Lord be my deliverance.
I know my...

Thieves Beneath Contempt.Lining pockets with cash large and small,
Once found out, they return not one call.
But an amendment we need
to inflict on this breed
the same treatment that they give us all....

straight from oven
smiling memories of her warm kitchen
frowning, the pie had disappeared from view
in the tree house

Thirty Thrifty ThievesThirty thrifty thieves furtively foraged through their filthy things finding fifty thin forks
though the thieves find of fine thin frilly forks thriftily foraged failed to thrill
Thlipping Dithicult said the first
whos swolen tongue he nursed
The second thought it a trifle tricky
this can't be read as a...

Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves - Aka African GovernanceStanding in front of the hidden entrance
On horseback, with loud sacks
Clinking as loot hit loot.
With smiles of satisfaction adorning their faces
The chief said the magic words, and in went the team;
Safe from the spoiled, safe from the world,
Ready to go back out and lay misery...

Bread Pudding ThievesAlmonds encased in hard red candy
Brandy from snow white walnuts
Collateral damage to the left front bumper of the sled
Dietary restrictions on anything considered a spice
Everything more often wins the day
Francesca left her pie though (no one will eat that)
Gluwein, go get it, we need it...

Merciless ThievesThe tiles upon the floor
are creaking like the door.
We're doomed to the thieving,
their wicked hearts beating
for money, we have no more.
Our windows freely swing,
letting in horrible stink,
we live by pure luck,
but mostly it sucks;
items are stolen in a blink.
The neighbor's hounds are dopes.
they allow the...

The Watermelon ThievesTHE WATERMELON THIEVES
Once when I was oh so young,
My mom decided she,
Would show us where some melons grew,
Beneath some large orange trees.
A farmer man she knew of,
Grew them there she said,
So folks would leave alone the fruit,
That grew above their head.
The melons were okay to...

Thieves of Joy...No one can take away
The smiles you give to me each and every day
The comfort and security and most of all love
Peace and instruments playing sweet as a dove
Nothing alive or dead can steal such a friend
Your spirit that stays with me until the...
