Cardboard Poems - Poems about Cardboard

The cardboard square, a battlefield unfurled, Two hidden armies in a silent world. Red and blue banners crisp and neatly stacked, A childhood strategy meticulously tracked. The General stood, a symbol bold and bright, Protected fiercely with all our youthful might. Each numbered rank, a secret held so deep, While cautious moves our silent vigil keep. The Scout advanced, a daring little spy, To...

Cardboard Castles You came in like thunder— wild, loud, and sharp with flame. Eyes like chaos, smile like fire, never still, and never tame. We shared a bed when we were small, built kingdoms out of pillow forts. You held my hand in quiet dark, and we survived in whispered sorts. But life came fast, and you let go— chose smoke and speed, the chase,...

When you have nobody you have somebody and that somebody is yourself. Because you’re all you’ve got. So why need anybody? Anybody being nobody. Nobody being somebody. Somebody being anybody.

The children come to visit once or twice a week and they are fine, I'm sure, but not the ones I seek. Though tall and fair and handsome, not who I'd choose to meet: those grubby-kneed and tousled, the freshly apple-cheeked! Oh, what I'd give...

Lofty sorts tenement; Residential entitlements; Homeward bound ; Lost in town, Logistics Irving bound; Summers call; Legitimate hall; Tournament crawl; No mortgage though; No rent termites eating bossa wood; Lying on rough wet papered floor; a homeless man lives alone and a cardboard boxed home! 8/30/21 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr © 2021...

A cardboard box tumbles Down the dark and empty street. Cold gray houses stand watch, No life within, their voices stilled, Their wide eyes vacant. On the porches furniture shrouds Flap and tear in the bitter wind. Dry leaves swirl and whisper. Do these sentinels remember? Do they see a different time? Surely they are waiting For the children’s laughter, The banging screen door, The clatter of skateboards, People...

Weaving, stumbling from one job to another His roadmap reeks of discontinuity And that is why his home's a cardboard box He's squandered each and every opportunity A fancy lady passerby, mercy in her eyes Once offered him her hand, if he could just stay sober But that very winter's night he'd gotten drunk ...

Old love letters in a cardboard box Tender conversations forever frozen Now wrapped with red ribbons Memories of loves gone by And precious moments now forgotten Wispy threads fading like the words that spoke them Their passion waiting to be discovered By others not envisioned, With others now forgotten, Waiting to be reunited Like old love letters in a cardboard box...

Amidst the glisten of toys the confetti of nursery rhymes play dates and toddler pools... children prefer a cardboard box that becomes a boat- a magic flying machine- a train a place to ignite the mind and dream. In short time the train runs low on steam the boat is docked to a flock of demands the magic flying machine sputters in a cloud of...

I bet your beds comfy, I imagine it smells of flowers and vanilla, Or just the smell of clean, And you have pillows, Big soft voluptuous pillows, And sheets, Clean sheets. I could sleep forever in a bed like that, Literally forever, And I bet you don’t even think about it, Because it’s just a bed to you, And it is, Id probably cry if I could...
