Best Tip Over Poems
PeaceI have no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only turmoil.”
Job 3:26 NIV
The way of peace they do not know; there is no justice in their paths. They have turned them into crooked roads; no one who walks along them will know peace.
Isaiah...

Who can tip over the water jars of the heavens
when the dust becomes hard
and the clods of the earth stick together?
Job 38:37b-38 NIV
SMART MAN
Smart man, God gave
you hands - to fill a water jug,
to sprinkle the garden.
Who has bought powdered water,
wrung out the rain...

Ode To My PenMy dear incredible pen,
you are the pinnacle of writing instruments! Looking refined with your elegant ebony shaft and gold-filagree trim, you are a true technological wonder to behold and a master calligrapher.

The Petty Posh-Wahzee - Liberation and OstentationThe Petty Posh-Wahzee - Liberation & Ostentation
The Not-So Distant Past:
The fallen fighters for freedom, are unable to turn in their graves,
their battered, fragmented bones, mixed with a handful of torn rags,
are all that remain, a mute reminder of their selfless valiant sacrifice.
They endured brutal Apartheid...

A Day For MothersThere’s a day soon coming
For Mothers and those alike
That will take a time to honour
Our Mothers in their own right.
And it’s what they mean to us
That cannot be expressed
It seems that they keep giving more
Despite that they get less.
A Mothers love can’t be measured
And if...

HalloweenWrite a scary poem about Halloween?
Weirdest ode you've ever seen!
What is seen at Halloween?
Blood sucking Salem zombies,
TV addict Abercrombies,
Spiders and maggots in their hair,
Crypts in the garbage tip over there,
Witches floating round my room,
Fit right in, as they zooooooom......
Hey, my other car is a...

Dominoes QuaternI learned to win at Dominoes
To topple each one of my foes
It does not matter their standing
For on the floor they’ll be landing
Once I figured who to depose
I learned to win at Dominoes
Of whom each boss I’d tip over
To enact a full takeover
I used to...

Pretty FaceEvery time I see that pretty face
Blossoming the world around, like flower in a vase.
Those eyes sparkle defying the sunshine,
Suddenly the reflection on me and I’m not mine.
The smile that takes away all your attention,
A laugh that puts you in awe, that I don’t have...

Wicker BasketGramma's sewing basket
Overflowed with bits of fluff
Ribbons from a cardboard roll
That weren't quite big enough
Buttons in all sizes
And colors rolled around
If it happened to tip over
And spill onto the ground
The yarn left from my mittens
And scarf and baby glove
She knitted on a cold night
Entwined with...

SolsticeI want more solstice evening silhouettes.
And nights of rhapsody filled with rental stars.
To explore blurred mornings when the sun rises.
With transitions dripping through the trees.
I want to know how the seasons change.
Who makes time a desirable moment to give?
Happier, in an age turning over a...

Winter StormThe wind roars like a lion
As a sheet of snow, blows on by
Dusting of white sticks to windows
The weighed down bushes tip over
Outside, there is a brewing war
I walk, bting wind on my face,
By the snowbanks climbing higher
I hear loud scraping of plows
The tree branches...

Too Damp To Be WetA briefly wrung-out sky
is blotched with clammy clouds.
A humid air clings to my chest.
Damp squirrels hang limply
from dripping branches.
Desultory birdsong mops
but not much.
I yearn for the cold slap of sea-spray,
chill cheeks and fresh lips
not this damp-dive-walking
through a moist miasma.
Maybe the day will shake itself free
of...

Guide the Ship Part 2I know I keep on doing wrong moves
I keep failing...falling in a whirlpool of racketing frustration
I'm trying all my tries...so save yourself from drowning
Keep yourself entertained...there's no use of frowning
I guess I have to feel
My way out of trouble
You'll see what I have to show
Oh look!...

Eyes wide shut but you saw everything
Excepted my collect calls every day from the bing
So you know exactly why the caged bird sings...
