Best Zip Poems

Getting ready to go to the big school
Was such a worrying thing
I heard grim tales of bullies
The teachers and the cane
And when I saw the savages
Get of the bus and fight
The worry almost drove me insane.

I remember my mother taking me 
for a new school...

ran the bath and fingers through my hair
I buttoned my blouse and my lip
no longer in love, no longer care
ran the bath and fingers through my hair
wanted to soak away hurt not talk and swear
needed to relax my heart and close the zip
ran the bath...

Satan cometh to kill
As an angel of light he does appeal
So zip up your armor
And don’t be fooled by this charmer
For, it is your breath he wants to steal!



Jesus, the giver of life
Oh how he loves his beautiful wife
He took all her shame
And bore all...

Playing practical jokes gave Fred a high
making folks look foolish he wasn't shy.
But one vengeful night
victims took delight
seeing him on TV with an open fly....

I would disagree.... but I won't cause a fight!

Now is the time
Of the retrieving of the jackets
From whence they've spent
Their summer repose 
Or
The back of the closet

So sorry that I'd
Forgotten about you
Until your warmth
Sent me searching

Welcome back, old friend
Especially if 
You've got money
In your pocket...

Don't forget to zip your zipper.
Said thee old whipper snapper.
Life's too short, so be a good sport.
While we head to a resort.
After the high school prom tonight.

We can make whoopee, under a pine tree.
After I take you by the hand.
Then we'll see buckets of golden...

Hunting to and fro
Zipping between marigolds
Low flying sparrow

I love these kind of words
their very presence makes me smile
A jump in my heart as these words come forth
as I see the words
splat and boom
gaw and he haw
little words
that have no real purpose but
to remind me that life
is suppose to be...

As I stand
Contemplating the threshold
Hopeless nobles
Pouring superficial sorrows
Parked in seven black chairs
Legs Tied
With Zip-Ties

I observe
Dark shallow depths
A mountain of endless
Contaminated tissue
Extruding over the brim of trash
Conquering wounds

As I
Take my leap of faith
Stepping forward with
My nametag

Hello, my name is Love
I Am an addict...

Zip Code
Contaminated water
For a few more dollars
Immoral power

Zip Code
Red Zone
No loans
Where are the politicians with a backbone?

Zip Code
Confrontation
Discrimination
Forced incrimination

Zip Code
Dirty streets
Vociferous beats
Too shallow to be deep

Zip Code
Higher prices
Thinner slices
This is a major crisis

Zip Code
High unemployment
Super high rent
What! It’s just a misprint?

Zip Code
Clean streets
Cushioned seats
But they're...

I live in the fall, 
the dying nation between two worlds.
I am barefoot, 
strapped to a catapult. 
I toil where the dark storms brew.
I see you there,
like the armrest between the discomfort, 
and the sadness. 
And I see you standing staunchly, 
as if the answers...

A fly on the wall,
overhearing a parent
chastise their teenage child


Shut up, when you hear me
laying down the law
No back talking ...
keep it quiet, yo
Don't wanna hear no squawking

When the riot act is being read,
silence must prevail I'm afraid
Don't wanna hear a peep ...
hold your tongue,...

Action begins and the scene is occupied by two living trays
succumbing to powerful activities much against dry cleaning services.
Nature once again proves its wonders
as water filled balloons and inverted cups
turn pressing pressures into pleasures
from two rakes with five long but rounded teeth.
Dialogue exists through sounds...

I wish we all had a body with a zip
For when we need a replacement hip
The body is unzipped to replace a new part
A liver or kidney, a lung or new heart
Bones are removed and replaced as required 
No need for traction or bones that...
