Bumps Poems

BUMPS IN THE ROAD

Today I’m grateful for understanding
no matter what comes our way…
our happiness depends on how we deal with
those inevitable bumps in the road along the way.

Bumps of Life

Since I been here
I was never there
When the fear took control
I let it lead me on
When the face of change started haunting my dreams
I ran away
I cast it all aside
Everything I had
Everyone I love
I was the destruction 
In a perfectly built life
I said so much
I cared so less
I was in the abyss of lies
Manifested by me
What a shame on me
What a waste of time for them
I created their hell 
I was the devil in disguise
There was no light
Only dark
And now to this very day
It's seems the cycle will never be broken
So I will stay humble and fearless
For this is my destiny I wish to choose now
I hope you all come along for the ride
I can't promise it will be smooth
But all I can say is the bumps will be worth it all in the end.

Two Bumps on Logs

A seagull and anhinga sit
On logs next to the pier,
Perhaps preparing for a meal,
For fish are likely here.

They do a little grooming, but
They mostly seem to sit,
Though the anhinga opens up
His mouth a little bit.

As far as the anhinga goes,
I think that’s what it is.
My Google research said so;
I am not a birding whiz.

The seagull just flapped up and flew
And left his friend behind,
Although it doesn’t seem that the
Anhinga seems to mind.

It’s lovely sitting by the water,
Which a barge just churned
And, by the way, that seagull,
Just this minute, has returned.

Knuckle Bumps

The itsy bitsy fighter

Went up to start his bout

Down came the pain

And knocked the fighter out

Out came the blood

And dried up on his brain

So the itsy bitsy fighter

Would never bout again

snow bumps

trailers in the docks 
crooked tilted trailer doors 
poor yard truck driver

Bumps

Way back in my day, moms-to-be

Wore tents which made bumps hard to see

To hide them seemed good

Discreet understood

Now snug tops let large bumps hang free!

Duck Bumps

Why did we choose “goose” bumps
Instead of “duck” bumps or “caterpillar” lumps
How about “camel”
Grrr, only two per mammal
Oh well... guess we'll stick with “goose” bumps

Bumps In the Night

A crash, a bang, a whistle in the wind,
bumps in the night are a scary thing

Shadows in the bedroom fill me with dread,
is someone sitting at the end of my bed?

As the full moon rises on all hallows eve,
be wary of ghosts tugging at your sleeve.

Goose Bumps

cool
breezes
soft ruffle
of Goose feathers
an idle instinct
reawakened
bids adieu
to water's
chill

Bumps In the Road

BUMPS IN THE ROAD

Bumps in the road that I travel—
Menacing, to say the least!
Why are they there in the pathway?
I just do not have the peace!
Bumps of the past and my failures, 
Bumps of some bad memory,
Bumps that some cold, callous people
Put in that pathway I see.
Bumps of my life’s daily struggles,
Some are my fault there, I know,
So on this rough road I travel,
Now long I’ve traveled it so.
I could just give up the journey 
Jump off a bridge here or there,
Or other ways I could detour,
For I don’t think people care.
Then someone came there beside me
Who’s been on this road before,
He said, “The bumps are for climbing”;
I knew it was the Lord.
Strange as it seemed, now here with me
Bumps in the road I don’t mind,
For someone there is now with me,
And in His strength I can find
Courage to travel this highway,
With all its bumps on the way,
But knowing GOD’S there beside me
Helping me climb bumps each day.

Duck Bumps

Why did we choose “goose” bumps

Bumps In Life

Life can lead us in all directions
throw a curve we do not foresee
sometimes we go with the flow
other times we do not know
how we handle it can effect us
we could follow the curve with ease
or it can bend and twist us to our knees
sometimes fate plays a roll
takes us on a path we did not know
so as we bend and twist our way
all things have a beginning and end one day.

Lumps Bumps and Lines

what kind of a fool
do you think i am
even though even
i am at court and
court my queen

phrenology by gosh
by golly since when
hitting my head at
age ten on a log
would logically

assume my future
through a feature
placed on my body
after birth so what
of my hand

i would gladly take
yours if you're giving
but these lines liken
towards words that
say and speak

of marks made before
you were born so they
must be some sort
of map but not
exactly and

hard to read signs
pointing to turn
left or turn right
making no
decisions

so i prefer
the toes to
tell what's
told and i
also

love
to suck
and lick
them as un
meltable fine

desserts

Lumps of Bumps

'Neath the stars...on brisk dark nights 
Upon the stage... 'Neath neon lights 
Remembering thoughts...of old and new 
Mind-boggled sights...of Deja-vu 

Watching birth...my newborn child 
Watching nature's...open wild 
Touching lips...a melt me kiss 
Life's wonder's...heaven's bliss
 
Like tender movie's...(Forrest Gump's) 
Beautiful things, give me...goosebumps

Goosebumps

I get goosebumps
When I get cold
I can feel them
Rising on my arms
As the cold air circulates
They go away as
I warm up
I get goosebumps
When I’m about to walk
Into a dangerous situation
Like walking down a street
Or going into a building
They pop up on my arms
Letting me know that
Something’s not right
The closer i walk to it
The larger my goosebumps get
It gives me a cold eerie feeling
that enters my body
Giving me the creeps
