Best Tussles Poems

Clique ... clique
Peer pressure is a gun
Low self-esteem wanting popularity,
gather together in small clusters
Grapes of wrath ... attack anybody 
who try to break the bind
Verbal popping every moving target
in the movie theater line 
Estrogen cries when the dust clears,
another reject cherry fell off the vine

One suspects a matagouri temperament
Upon first glimpsing that weathered face.
Wrinkles extending like braided rivers
Life of tussles and toils, to demonstrate.

No stranger to heat or an icy shiver
Indeed he thrives on the wide-open space.
For living on the land he has chosen
Family provision his precious mandate.

Green land...

If love is sharing,
Heartfelt caring
Always being by someone's side.
If love is giving
Knowing the joy of living 
A deep down feeling of pride.
If love is heart thumping, 
Excitement,nerves jumping
Never knowing quite what to expect.
If  love is yearning,pleasing
Playfully teasing
Yet treating another with respect.
If love is tears...

Our family’s visit to an ashram—
Where parasitical monkeys haunt ’n hum.
Creatures known for tricks and hanky-panky.
So tussles ’tween visitor and monkey!

Monkeys win— tussles with woman or man.
Outwitting the monkey whoever can?
So woes of the devotees are many; 
There doesn’t seem to be solution any!

A li’l...

Poetry is a life-cherishing force. For poems are not words, after all, but fires for the cold, ropes let down to the lost, something as necessary as bread in the pockets of the hungry.”
- Mary Oliver

Poetry is my flesh, blood, body, mind and soul,
My heart...

Boys do boys BREAKS toys.  Knick knack paddy wack. Give. A dog. A bone.
Some say the things that boys do are wrong and even more wrong still.
Pushing a go cart up a steep steep hill. Wrestling down steps and falling. 
Breaking bones. Being home...

Lock down the LIMPING GROVE.
PIRATES have stolen the TREASURE TROVE.
I know all about the garden shed, how you
Hide and make your bed.
Watching with a whimsical stare he replied
I know nothing of these TRAVESTIES.

Tedious TEASING TUSSLES to taste...

Fish and chips salty air
Big fat bottoms sat on stripy deck chairs
Sticks of rock candy floss and bottles of soda pop
Sand castles and buckets and spades
Dad with binoculars pretending to look out to sea
But looking at the bikini hot babes
Little child paddles in the sea
Little...

No embarrassment , everyone poops
So relaxed is the feel after all 's out
No gold and riches can ever buy such feel
I am sure all will agree silently though!
We get that feel for free as nature calls

Popeye the Sailorman,
Ate spinach right from the can.
It gave strength to his muscles,
To overcome Bluto's tussles.

In my fragile little ship, I sail sail, 
In the tempestuous sea of life, vast, 
Studying the stagnant winds in detail, 
Gliding up slowly with a lofty mast.

Facing strong winds my ship starts from the clast, 
And trials of life - tides - ensue without...

A majestic golden eagle
wakens to the cool morning air.
And preens and prims its flight feathers
grooming each with diligent care.

Flies buzz over yesterday’s kill
scraps warmed by the rays of the sun.
And as night shadows disappear
darkness is defeated, dawn’s won.

A tree top branch provides a perch
from which...

If I could see your tomorrow I would fill the empty void that steeps so deeply within me, that rustles and tussles inside my naked being.  I would know exactly what to do to brighten your day and put a comforting smile on your...

All we need is a miracle to occur in our lives.

People are suffering around here and wish

That they could go to order a hamburger with fries

People are looking up to others who are really not wise

People up high are living for themselves and have no...

A child of the sun, coldness she knew 
not.
But the heat of the moment, 
dependent
always uneasy but of passion, 
resplendent.
The sun in setting, a lady she was 
not.

A flower to compare but a rose inapt.
More an orchid, a beauty of the 
tropics.
Or a frangipani, a...
