Best Turf Poems
Queen of the TurfThere it was gazing up – radiant –
radiating kaleidoscope silver green;
sharp with life, ready and expectant.
Spreading its claim, pressing out the grass,
was a thistle born from last year's seed unseen.
From where had it blown here to outclass
the perennials of the turf? Its time
now come...

frustratedly stifled.
Projecting

TurfThe turf is wet.
Tinny rap splashes out, booming and the players are bouncing
Like boxers, ready for the air-balls
That they cleanly tap and set on the ground
With the surfaces of their cleats.
The rap is crashing.
The rain is dripping
From a sky done raining,
Just feeling sorry...

The Right Side of the TurfHow am I feeling today
Hang on let me check
All things being equal
I'm pretty good, by heck!
Woke up this morning
On the right side of the turf
Nothing can really drag me down
My days are filled with mirth
I'll try to pass some along
So my heart's not on overload
Gotta...

Turf To TummyThe turf fires glow reduced to ash
A million years of bog history
As I watched the glowing embers
My mind took me back
To a nearly forgotten time
When the turf ruled the hearths
And cranes swung pans over its heat
Boiling the “spuds” and baking the bread
Keeping habs hot...

On My TurfOur family isn’t very big
But still, it’s kind of rare
When there’s a holiday and all
Can congregate somewhere.
It’s been a year since Henry’s birth
And though we’ve all united,
It’s never been where I reside
(Of course, they’ve been invited).
Until this weekend past, that is,
When Henry came...

Lawn Grass Turf Cut Me I Will Grow--vegetation turf
I am just a blade of grass
cut me i will grow
greenery, green lawn
narrow leaves, growing wild sod
cultivated mead
grasslands blades of grass
lawns pasture, as a fodder crop.

Right Side of the TurfEach day we rise on the right side of the turf, it's a bonus
A whole lot depends on us, on us guys is the onus
No one else is to blame
In this lifelong game
It matters not that we dribble or ashamed of our slowness...

Surf and TurfI went to the butchers to get me some fish
I asked for some haddock to bake in a dish
The butcher said, “Sir, if it’s fish that you’re after,
You’ve picked the wrong place and you couldn’t pick dafter.”
He said, “If you want fish you want the...
