Best Trill Poems

Law, English, business, and so on—
    alas, are tiresome!
All the professors here go on 
    with a prime axiom. 

A moldy, college campus where 
    knowledge and books abound,
freshmen and co-eds are clueless

Along resplendent lanes in groves of green 	
  In sundown’s mellow tinge aglow, we cruise  
  To grasp unto moon’s fingers so serene,

  Where we are charmed by lovebirds that amuse
  Who hum a rhapsody with lilting beats;
  Through...

Who do you think you are?!?



You use your tears like money,

              Each one paying for another excuse ...

       Lies dripping with feigned empathy,

A Cardinal’s trill, peep…peep…peep…peep…peep…
often full of himself, wakes me from sleep.
peep…peep…pretty…pretty…pretty; rings out his bliss;
across Kentucky’s bluegrass in the morning mist.

A tad egocentric but, he’s allowed;
his bright red plumes make him oh, so proud.
He’s a splash of color in the trees, 
a scarlet, rose red...

Jack and Jill went up the hill

This was never in dispute

It was how Jack fell down

With severe lacerations to his crown

That the jury had to conclude

Jill had a bun in the oven

The news was all over town

The bakers' wife was aghast

Her husband and his shady...

my muffled mind's cloaked in silence
deaf to men's and merchant's chants
tethered together with love's essence
open to whispers of light's acceptance

battling mirrors of inner cages
wrestling wrongful images -
constant accusations

spontaneously hoisted 
by a single song bird's trill
perched upon my window sill-
a wonder still

With dawn's emerging illumination
I rise...

In sick dreams bullets cut-through
tire tough truth like raw meat;

stringy and dripping with blood.
Teeth ripping through organs,

heart, kidneys, liver, making
sausage of our small intestines.

There is no valid temperature
for proclamations of redemption,

no trembling for forgiveness,
announcements of new leaves.

Baptism is spent gun shells, as
the chorus trills to...

It is a beautiful summer day I was wakened by a robin that lives in my hedge,
He lives in my old hedge row happily singing a loud trill, his summer song,
I sat in my garden wearing an old dressing gown sipping a mug of white...

Kept it 2 trill
It all amounted 2 nil
No longer a secret, guts started 2 spill
Big shoes 2 fill
Hard 2 chill
So I pop 2 pills
Eventually it all no longer started 2 thrill
An easy mark or hard 2 kill
Another payment due requiring 2 bills
Across 2 hills
Picked 2...

on the bird's sad death
     in the cage there rests a trill
          infinity flight...

Puffins and Parakeets
  Starlings and Sparrows
Hummingbirds and Hoopoes
  Cardinals and Cochoas

Their colors flashing
  Songs edifying
Perching and resting
  or airborne flying

They trill us and thrill us at night
  Wing their way through the day
Soaring high in tranquil blue skies
  or...

what melodious trill has awakened me?
I spy a gorgeous bird I have never seen
Hearing his song I detect pure innocent joy
beginning my day in a fabulous way...

black bird on the wire
                hear the telephone ringing
                 does not  emit trill...
