Best Tie Up Poems

As morning glowed pale light over the town of Soup Creek,
Jenna woke with a start when she heard a floorboard squeak.
She raised her gun and took aim at a shadow near the door,
"Hold it right there, Mister, unless you're lookin' to start a war."

A familiar...

I love those days, certain special days
when I can tie up my troubles
                         and send them away
 to set them adrift,...

Two decades old,
Soft skin light toned,
Bushy brown hair,
skinny slim built,
Eyes blue as the sky,
Emotions and mind,
All so very shy.

Born a Capricorn,
Raised in a working class,
Ball full of energy,
shattering plates and glass,
Father held the iron fist,
Mothers mind in a mist,
Smacking, screaming, shouting,
Reminders of him as a...

I saw a feller today with a sign readin', 'WORLD ENDS TOMORROW!"
Lord! Have mercy! That's all I need - more troubles to borrow!
I called the preacher who knows all about celestial things,
But he had no such revelation (usually borne by angelic wings)!

But I'm a cautious...

I’m tired of you.
Back stabbing me and not keeping it true.
Deceiving and lying
When I caught you, here comes the fake crying
The sad bedroom eyes hiding behind a guilty face
The phony kisses and the warm embrace
What you hide in the dark always come out in the...

Thump-thump of stiffening fish contorting
   In the bilge beneath the gunwale; 
 Lidless, bulging, reddened eyes, swivelling upwards, 
Protruding horribly from the straining sockets,
    Express stupefied amazement at inconceivable 
  Abruptness  
   Of a former world...

What am I missing?
every day I
bounce in all directions
through the door
off ceilings, walls, floors
rattling around wondering
what am I here for?
husband kissing
off to work
while I stay in
and create a din
of crazy commotion
out of my notions
I'll do this, no that-
no that needs to be done

Utterly distracted, no...

There's been a breaking news report about Santa's reindeer.
While flying over Russia, they were lassoed by vile Vladimir!
"I'm determined to ruin Christmas for everyone this year.
Too many smiling faces in the world," he said with a sneer.

An envelope arrived at the Kremlin. Postage was first...

I feel safe in a rhyme.
With a rhyme you can
Close off a thought,
Tie up loose ends....

There she was, sad and bereft,
  weeping hard with troubled signs,
    lone, desolate she was left,
walking midst overgrown vines,

Love memories she did hold,
    reminiscing them, she’d soar,
  but that day, gloom did enfold,
as tears continued to pour,

The...

Creaky bones,
I must be getting old.
Creaky bones,
But I will not be told.

Creaky bones,
Those stairs are hard to climb.
Creaky bones, 
I will not moan and whine.

Creaky bones,
Bending to tie up shoes.
Creaky bones,
Waiting in those long queues.

Creaky bones,
Once young, now aging fast.
Creaky bones,
Soon I’ll have that free...

Technology is matter built to mind our fusions and confessions of relaxation, tie up the man who believe not what you believe, and praises those like you, and pay homage to the one who makes you believe
Name the shame and project it in reason, seasoning...

Hopscotch, barbie dolls, playing house and jump rope
Puddle jumping, finger painting, needing lots of soap
Baking cookies, stuffed animals and having a pet rock
Vibrant drawings on the driveway with colorful chalk

Dance recitals, swimming lessons and girl guides
Zoo visits, riding bikes and amusement rides
Beach pails, sand castles,...

Pity my city
I pity my city there is no dignity in this city
There is no justice no freedom
Street children in a locked hall, shocking
County council overworking
The city must be clean so some humans are garbage
Some are cabbage, the garbage pay the damage
No houses sleep on...
