Best Wheelbarrows Poems

A violent scene lay before me
Huddled in death, there’s Ella, Mary-belle, everywhere I could see
Swollen tongues, sunken eyes, frail bodies strewn in the hot powdery dirt,
I sniff the sharp stench of death, I catch my breath, swallow, stomach clenched, alert

Stark rocky outcrops, blister amongst the...

Apples.. beetles.. caterpillars..
daisies everywhere.. 
fertile ground.. hollyhocks.. 
Ivy jumbled kegs..
leafy mint.. nematodes..
oregano..peas.. 
quiet rest sunsets.. tomatoes under vines.. 
wheelbarrows.. xanadu yearning zeal!...

I stood and watched them
One by one by one
Working ever so lovingly
Until all the work was done
There were parents and adults
Kids of all ages too
All this was for
In memory of you-know-who
They were washing headstones
Using shaving cream, to clean
There were so many of them
And even more...

ECO FRIENDLY VEHICLES

There are  problems with eco-friendly  - among others
It is friendly for us but not for our brothers.
A rich man  often secretly  stands  on a beggar  -
Gasohol is often mixed from gasoline and cane sugar:
Great for conserving oil...

Like a drop of the rainbow 
A mother arches herself over her stricken child,
A man arches himself over his prostrate wife, 
And a stranger arches himself over another.

Rainbows in a hailstorm, they all are,
Bringing out their best colors
To hold back the hail of bullets
That but...

My Granddad can’t stay on the straight and narrow
Robs garden centres with his bow and arrow, 
Police knew his scheming 
So now he is screaming
Speeding downhill in a plastic wheelbarrow

As gramps in his wheelbarrow got lots of LOLs
The river impeded his getaway goals
When used as...

Want it?
Charge it!!
Can't afford it?
Charge it!!
Plastic startin'
to wear a bit thin?
Charge it on another
card...you win!!
No one can stop you now...
And, look, by God, 
You have rooms filled
with stuff you can't use...
No one, of you, could they accuse,
Of being a tightwad, a spendthrift,
A miser, a horder...

Evil is incremental
One bullet after another
And after another
And after another
Until there’s a blister
On my trigger finger
Where there used to be a wet print
Of a little kiss
Transplanted to my little girl’s cheek
Before I left for work
This morning,

She’s sound asleep in bed
With the spring birds singing
Through her...

STEALING

There once was a lady named Clara
Who daily rolled a wheelbarrow
It was always filled with hay 
Police searched it one day
Found out she was stealing wheelbarrows

Waking up in the morning,
I saw the sun angry with me.
Leaves bent low to slap me
Cows that ate little mooed,
asking me for more that day
In wheelbarrows wind placed
rubbish heap in the courtyard;
And the phone rang loudly,
landlord wanted rent arrears
As I moved, stone hit my toe
“Another...

wheelbarrows of grief
chip away, shred scars, spread wide

Damian is on the phone speaking 
With architects.  He made
Airline and hotel reservations.
 Soon Afterwards he went 
To Molly and caressed her away from
From a sweet dream. "Hey, baby girl."
He sat on the bed and said,
"When you collect your self go
To the...

Those are wheelbarrows
Carrying bony flesh
Towards the grave...

I've hugged the cold rock and walked with rubber legs.

Been planted like a flower, watching the bees do their thing.

The Ozian Wizards dual with silver words and pencil sized swords.

For a few dead presidents you can buy all the wheelbarrows you want.

The Spirit Kings sell...

Clumsy Cat was terrified of wheels
Being around them reminded her of heels
She would rather be chased by brooms or eels
Both had crushed some of her favorite kibble meals

What about wheelbarrows? Another cat said.
I’d rather be caught and thrown on my head!
Could I please show you...
