Best Toys Poems

Picking up my phone, the voice recalls my memories
Sweet talker across the line, hey... it's been a while
Days running, things change, here we are aloof in our boundaries

Trapped within our history, now we play the role of our guile 
The way you speak is like negating...

inside white fences

boys play at war with toy guns

miles from their nice homes. . .

villagers tremble before

a rifle-bearing child’s glare

Standing at the closet door
buried deep within my mind
I gather courage to venture there
to see what’s left behind

As the door swings gently open
so many things I see
the rainbows of illusions
and so many shattered dreams

But in the corner hiding
is a memory soft and gay
it pulls me...

Teddy bears on the bed, 
a little red fire engine on the floor.
Even though the batteries are missing,
a childs heart should see the lights flashing 
and hear the sirens roar.

The hand made rocket ships never take off to Mars.
The model airplanes that hang from the...

In my special child’s room, delightfully cozy
There watches Smidgeburner, his ape stuffed toy, cuddly fuzzy
Alongside prettisome guru, chimpanzee Betzy
Donning a hat declaring “God does not bless the lazy!”

Then Smidgeburner, a.k.a Smidge becomes busy
Tidying the bed-zoo against being messy
Guru Betzy supervises, never bossy
Smiling, she commends, “Wow;...

I hear the echoes of days gone by
in your voice tonight and I sigh

Does she still live in your heart
don't tell me, i don't want to get smart

but I can feel my throat getting bigger
lets look at the bright side I figure

Will we meet tonight...

Toys Are Us
By Cody Brandon Turner


Sweating and tired
Heat hovering over my skin
This day has got to stop
The only question I ask is when?
Parched and dehydrated
It’s too much to take
The sun is beating down on me
Like a bully in the sixth grade
My mouth is drying
My skin...

Santa’s sleighing high,
Among the starlit sky,
Mounds and mounds of toys,
For all the girls and boys.
Rudolph leads the trip,
Knows every curve and dip,
Rudolph knows his way so well,
Santa can relax, how swell!
Ho, ho ho he shouts,
Have never any doubts,
For every child, the elves
Have packed, lovely lovely...

You better believe it 
When I say this because, 
Here before you I sit ...
The one and only, Santa Claus 

When I say this because 
... I want you to believe, 
The one and only, Santa Claus 
Your eyes do not deceive 

I want you...

The other day while rummaging in a closet I was instantly overcome with joy
when I ran across our storage bins filled with our children’s once used toys.

Toys our children and grandchildren played with when they were young and new…
Toys that don’t grow up…like children and...
