Coconuts Poems - Poems about Coconuts

Premium MemberIf you let me, the clouds will open like coconuts under the weight of the sky

If you let me, the clouds will open like coconuts under the weight of the sky,
acidic milk will cascade over your cities, drowning them in twilight,
thin lightning like my fingers will write unknown messages in the sky,
I will scour the turbulent air to reach you, traveling through time like a dream,
I will step on the

COCONUTS

Coconuts,  
My eyes saw coconut trees
            on different beaches 
at the boundaries
of lake Tanganyika 
             in Burundi, Zambia, 
D.R.Congo and Tanzania. 
many people always enjoying 
to be under those trees while drinking
coconut natural juices.

Your hairy brown exterior
Belies the sweet interior

A gift to humans culinary
Or cocktail quite extraordinary

Your oil it smooths, caresses
A babies bum it blesses

Your cream is heaven slurry
As I add it to my curry

In short you're what we all need
Though your stature for a plant seed

Might be intimidating
I'll still give you 'A' star rating

Premium MemberCoconuts

On sandy beaches and along fertile riverbanks,
In fecund soil and in lush green plantations,
Coconut trees stand tall towering into the sky.
They are benevolent palms at the service of generations.

A coconut tree is a marvel of creation, every part of it can be used.
Its umbrella like crown of leaves shades us from sun.
Its circular, heavy cluster

Coconuts

Hand on thy hand, no walking distance
Under the yellow sun wandering glance
Silence of pebbles with the striding sea
Snail pace towards the soaked shore tree

The thirst grips the tongue of our mute love
Shadow of the coconut tree greets the dove
The rhythm of the streaming water notes hum
Swinging green coconuts clip the poetic balm
 
Flying Swallow gazes

Coconuts -

Spring of life for many reasons 
That thrive by coming of the seasons
A tall grass in shiny gray bark 
Rings of scar serve as its mark 

From its leaf down to its trunk 
The worth of its parts will not flunk 
An all purpose tool, fair and bright
A charming frill, a deep delight

A leaf that

Coconut trees are the trees of life
Providing needs at time of joys and strife.

Delicious drinks and foods from their big fruits
Soothing our tummy with loud hunger hoots.

Everyone can survive longer by coconuts alone
Providing shelter for protection and a lovely home.

Home with utensils, furniture and decorations
From all coco parts— capturing visitors’ attention.

Cleaning and working tools from

Premium MemberChickens, Bananas, and Coconuts

What a lovely bunch! Or is that bananas?
I think the term is cluster. But isn’t that chickens?
No, that’s a peep, as in, don’t make one.

If I don’t make a peep, will I become a Silent One?
If I Speak(s) Volumes will I cluck like a cluster of chickens? 
If I do, will I be thought crazy

Premium MemberLet's Go Coconuts

Some people flip out.
Do they end up like a pancake?
Do they topple onto their head?
Some people have breakdowns.
Do they wake up needing fixing
in some asylum’s bed?.

Some people just go crazy,
but they “go” in different ways.
They might go nuts or go bananas.
Are they in a monkey phase?

I’ve heard of going ape,
so it makes sense to say
to

Lets do the coconut strut,
Hard shell oh well,
As long as its nice inside,
Lets all dance with pride.

Oh, let's do the coconut strut, lets cheer,
Movements so smooth, it's better than cold beer.
We'll sway to the left, we'll sway to the right,
Our hips gyrating with all our might.

We'll shake our coconuts with style and grace,
Our feet tapping

The pink sand makes my soft bed,  
a cool breeze covers me like a blanket.  
The palm trees are swaying,  
swaying to the sound of the blue waves.  
As I lay here daydreaming,  
I find shapes in the clouds.  
I see a coconut with a tall straw,

Over the tropical sun, where palm trees sway
I'm depicting palm fronds with a lyrical portray.
On a lowly fruit that cynosure nature bestows
A fascinating tale spanning the coconuts it grows

In this heavenly place, the

Coconut kernel is
good to eat;
healthy, too.

But a coconut
falling on 
one's head isn't
healthy!

Coconuts falling large and whole
On my way to gather like gold
Calling my name as I love them so
Only to tame adult drink so cold
Needing the hull to make a bra
Understanding I am a bronze star
Tropical queen who sings in bar
Sing with me, have fun dear heart.
