Best Tight Knit Poems

No T.V., no internet, what are we to do, just look at us!
I remember a time, it wasn’t such a fuss.
Where pleasure and creativity we could find
without such things to entertain humankind.
We could look around and we could see
All the jewels of life waiting to...

Martin & Connie


Martin and Connie had five beautiful daughters and then she 
found out from her Doctor that she had another baby on the way, 
but how would she tell Martin of her great news she thought
for he is coming home from work at the...

Each night's wrapped in a silken shroud
when sunset brings the end of day.
We wait for sleep and dream aloud,
"oh let me soar where bright spheres play."

Outside my window, in the sky
the tight-knit flag of night unfurls,
the moon and stars of silver fly
and billow clouds dance,...

So this is Fremont, California
Circa nineteen sixty-nine,
Nice and bit of a tight-knit
Neighborhood, that is fine.

I am a honey tanned Hawaiian
In a nearly all white community,
With the only swimming pool
Thinks there is another opportunity.

Learned later that ours was it
For this part of the town,
And that would...

Times have changed, much for the worse.
Familiar understanding, a vestige of the past.
A bond of lineage, of common mother land.
Unified through generations, now all alone.

A time once existed of dependable men.
One man knowing his brother had his back.
A combination of efforts, towards a greater goal.
Family...

Fra Angelico Sermon on the Mount
Jesus and his tight knit group
the pristine sculptured scene
breathtaking and serene
a halo light surrounds the head
of keen ears leaning in
it’s as if the disciples have died
and gone to heaven to relive
this ultimate speech
robe’d in blue, red and pinks
yet there’s a...

Flowers blooming
Spaced out or in a tight-knit grouping

All around things looming
In space objects still or moving and zooming

Birds pluming
And other animals grooming

Downloads queueing
Electronics in need of a rebooting
Or powering off, to enable cooling

Below, on and above the roofing
Toxins spewing
And other particulates polluting
Some of which are...

love is fatal attraction
just another Icarus
plummeting slowly earthward
as tight knit bonds fail...

Everyone loves her. 
Lots of ***** and energy.

Zero giving up very stubborn and tenacious. 
Acts very kind to others watches over younger kids. 
Believes in God and Jesus Christ. 
Excited always about her upcoming birthday no matter how 
far away....

Roses are red. Violets are blue,
But Violets for you, PD, just won’t do!
Roses mean passion, for roses are red,
And though I don’t want this to go to your head,
PD, you’re sweeter than dozens of roses
So those who give violets to you ---- Up their NOSES.

A...

(thinking of better weather right now :)

Tranquil waves gently crashing the lake shore. 
Tight-knit family units of Canada Geese,
all on a mutual hunting mission as they coast along the choppy waters.
Various shades of green consume the surrounding hills.
Summer voices of children playing that bring back...

I'm just cooling 
And musing
Below the flooring and above the roofing
Still manuevering and moving
Working hard towards improving

Live a life of your choosing
Focused on what I'm doing
Got to get it, can't continue snoozing
While there is and isn't booming
Whether win draw or losing 
Before and after what...

High on tiptoes, fingertips reach for unknown eternity
No existence no seen reality nothing coherent
Tendrils of tight knit gold lash out seeking  
Connection, link to fingers outstretched
Music only heard inside mysteriously
connect strands of consciousness
Unawares of surroundings
Little boy, little girl
Dance, dance

Arriving on this earth just after the war 
Never seeing the images my parents saw
Food was still rationed or so I was told
When to see a banana was like striking gold

Today we demand food whenever we want it
Ignoring the air miles, pile food in our...

An anti-Semite pruned the tree of life,
cutting branches with a sickle of hate.
He unleashed hell's fury in God's temple,
killing Jews, he swore to eradicate.

The faithful fell in a hail of bullets,
as a synagogue in agony; cried.
For as a raging madman kept firing,
Jewish friends and family...
