Best Tucked Poems

Tucked away in a forest, where treetops did sway
Lived a family pondering why they felt this way,
A miracle was to happen, which was certain to heal,
And their faith to God, was a joy to reveal.

The forest was giving, they lived off the land,	,
Each member of...

We were always the calm before a storm...
A fading rainbow as the clouds would form...
Reaching out but never really holding tight...
One would always be gone before first light...
Now just wallet size memory tucked far away...
An old picture with the sides beginning to fray..
Still when its...

Across uneven terrain
  tightrope-walking
narrow mountain passes
  dodging sniper fire

He carries her picture
  tucked into his heart
From that wrinkled photo
  his thoughts ne'er depart...

The world slumbers past the rise of the moon
And the mist of dark creeps upon Us like a blanket of shadow,
Crawling from the farthest horizon

As the world falls under the mist
Mortal genies crawl out of the cracks in the earth
And one by one they eavesdrop...

EVERY TUNIC’S TUCKED

squeamish that every tunic’s tucked
on one side, lopsided, uncouth
on the page, in the book - why is
every model told to tuck her hand
inside her pocket, jam her socket
into her pants, plunge me into distress.
If they want us to buy online, can’t
we size it...

Roses are burgundy,
violets are dead,
and the family
blossoms I
hand-picked is
enfolded under my
pitch dark bed 

My hearts beats
slightly and my love
leaves silently 

Dismiss from mind
Ted, Greg, and Meg
who is sealed and
bedeviled under my
pitch- dark bed and
not to be
narrow-minded
although I’m looking
out for I instead 

Your smirk creates
the impression...

Me Mother tucked me in, when I was small,
And made the nighttime monsters run away,
And kissed my cheek, still, when I’d grown up tall,
And broke me down when I had gone astray.
She gave her love through music, art and books
And loved Truth, only, more than...

We’ve always done for each other what we thought was good and right. 
Tucked up in our little corner under the rainy mist of our street light. 
Tucked up in our little life where we know that we only have each other when the world...

Tucked into bed,                                          ...

Lately, my love, you’ve folded me neatly 
into a corner of your consciousness
 
Tucked away

From the prying eyes of acquaintances 
whose tongues stick to the backs of their teeth

Tucked away

As the gift you give me is faceless soundlessness
Because we know that ours is a love...

eyes shut as books close
the gray-moon peeks through the blinds
— boys dream in color

tucked in at long last 
immersing kiss sensation

Bought a little gun today
                       Then tucked it safely away

summertime has passed
memories are left
of our lovely days
shared with family

special times held dear
grown grands in the pool
great granddaughters too
memories to last

yes, those days flew by
all too soon it came
close the pool- to sleep
tucked in, covered tight

and await next year
when in early June
twill embrace once more
loved...
