Best Tip Poems
Still connected I feel you
How can the one that hurt
heal the one that is hurting
My saddened journey
no longer running
My thoughts tip toe
Carefully painfully
feeling each step
So much to share
My heart is barren
nothing in or out
a void full of doubt
From the vinegar you gave
only the sweets I have saved
I neither love nor hate
What will become my fate...
Lonely dreams...
Childish whispers...
Tiptoed toed steps...
From the stones of miracles.
To arch and curve in heavenly grace,
for a reflection... unlike any other of these days.
To dance... and lift a cloud of gloom,
once cast on a sunless evening.
Curve and leap... and bring down the stars
and join them...in their heavenly dance;
nestled...under the wing of peace.
And yet...it is a dream
dreamt alone.
But as hopeful as the stars.
Never... in a thousand years...
will it be true?
The solitary dream... to dance
on the tip of a raindrop

Tip Toe
On a tightrope
Across the Universe
Catch a falling star with your heart
Follow the silvery light to the moon
Slide down to earth on a rainbow
Row your boat to the shore
The music calls
You home

Lucky left on Thursday
a stroke
Friday no tip tap in hallway
Saturday no tip tap in hallway
Sunday morning, we woke to tip tap in hallway
"Did you hear that?"
Jumped out of bed.
New dog had come into the doggy door.
Not Lucky, but another black dog,
needing a home.
It's too soon, my husband said.
He took her to the vet for her shots on Monday.
Was raving about her on Tuesday.
Fed her chicken, beef, eggs, all the good stuff.
Gave her chocolate which everyone knows not to do.
New dog, Sophie, stayed at the vet overnight to get spayed.
I woke up at 2 a.m. to Lucky's familiar tip tap in hallway.
Jumped out of bed and ran to look.
I believe she was letting us know that she is
Sophie's spirit dog.

For my friend, Bea, who makes me smile and is the brightest star in the bunch.
The tip of my pinky is just fine, thank you.
My bosom’s low.
My gait is slow.
I can’t scurry,
but what’s the hurry?
My foot gets sore
when it touches the floor.
My nose is runny.
I have pain in my tummy.
BUT
My pinky’s still pink
at its very tip.
My cataracts removed.
My eyesight’s improved.
I grew a new lump thing.
Still my heart is pumping.
Amidst all these things,
I sing sweet ting-a-lings.
Always I snatch dem golden rings
hanging so shiny from shimmering strings

There's no need to boil drinking water
from a fresh water stream
if your intention is to afflict yourself
with a dose of dysentery.
Do hope the other four are keeping in time Dorothy
Yes Sybil they are all looking exceptionally elegant
When are you going to tell them we have passed the audition.

There was a barber shop quartet,
That went to the track to for a bet,
Their singing exploded
When their pockets got loaded,
From a topical tip called, " Minuet "
Dear parents, don't you agree
that you all quite regularly see
Your tiny pranksters shouting loud -
Higher and shriller than they are allowed?
So here's the solution to end all your worries -
When your naughty little poppet stealthily scurries
To make blood-curdling, spine-tingling, uproarious noises,
Just scare them to silence with their headmasters' voices!
If you can't afford a doctor, go to an airport.
You'll get a free x-ray and breast exam for sure,
and if you mention Al Qaeda nonchalantly,
you'll get yourself a free colonoscopy.
As a talisman around my neck, I wear a glass magnifier.
Now where ever and whenever there is sun, I can make myself a fire
and cook food I have scavenged to kill any harmful bacteria,
or boil water free of all parasites that can cause dysentery and diarrhea,
or for the warmth my body needs to prevent possible hypothermia,
or as protection from any local life threatening wild predators.
As an added precaution I also always carry a disposable lighter,
in case darkness falls upon me before I can make my campfire,
but I only use my disposable lighter very rarely.
because it will run out of fuel eventually
and anytime I need fire when fire can't be
is an official life threatening fire emergency.
You won't have any chance of surviving in the wilderness successfully
if you don't make harnessing Fire your number one priority.
It only took me one cap and one stem,
For the Halloween feeling to kick right in.
I took to the night,
Like a ride in a bike.
Please do not quote me on this,
But I really had to piss.
And in my one piece clown costume—
My poor pecker was not free to pee I was doomed.
A lush, drinking like a fish,
Plus I am lazy as it gets...
So I cut myself a pee-pee hole and found mushroom's tip.
And I continued to party, fading deep into my trip.
I was so high and way passed drunk that—
I had completely forgotton about my junk—I was lit.
Somehow I left out my magic wand; my lizard;
Hanging out like honey i shrunk the kids or a tiny little sliver.
If it hadnt been for the shrooms, no way could have I remembered;
What's her name tapping me on the shoulder pointing downward at my member.
My package was on display.
Man meat, free for all to gaze.
It was limp as limp could be, as if I was part of a parade.
The cat's out of the bag now.
My poor kitty was so sad, wow!
And to this very day it is blister,
Hearing, Hey buddy! How's little mister?
And this is how my story goes.
My life really sucks but it never blows.
I even changed my name; moved all around.
But the joke of Halloween never fails,
It follows me and we are bound.
No escape can be round from every farm to every town.
I tried every last trick in the book and
Finally, I have found,
An enhanced new look.
And now they tell tall tails
Of how it hooks along the ground.
Although I still eat shooms every year on Halloween,
I take time too think about my costume, just in case have to pee.
The End...
