Down Poems - Poems about Down

A brook trickled easily down As poetry running unbound And I stood on a rock To hear the steady stream Of foreign words gurgled. A hazy shaft of light beamed down - Laser-pointing through piney boughs - And where it gently struck - Columbine shined and teemed The floor with emeralds....

Seal the mountains, the peaks, the city— The little emperor rides waves like in Shanghai Bund. In the end, the man who loved beauty became a rifle. Where is the man-made bathing pool atop that mountain? The princely courage, allies in accord, Carried martial genes, shamanic rhythms, Carried cells of herbs and discipline, anti-entropy. Like Zhang Xianzhong sinking treasure into the Min...

Used to gad about town as such in my day but don't get around much anymore conked out zonked out (perchance to dream) I prefer to remain housebound indoors yes it's an age-old refrain my dogs are barking and my best guess they may really be completely up the wrong tree entirely but my best bet yet feeling my years (the weight of the world) I'm...

Reach Down and Touch the Dirt How far will you take it? How bad do you want it? Work hard at all things you do. With strong work ethics, just follow through. Reach down and touch the dirt. Be open minded and alert. You have to suffer to grow. Put in the work, be headstrong, let go. Pick up the iron and never look...

I've carried time like a coffin — an eternity. Feels heavier than dark gravity Devotion that cruel peculiarity; in me, it shattered — clarity now it's just deathly polarity. Structured, then... infirmity Silence bloated with verbosity! Thank you expendability to reach low generality; close my chest cavity With immensurability, blessed by fate's absurd decree I kiss the edge of certainty. My unthinkability — death offers no pity, It's...

Breakthrough begins Where my excuses end (1) No reason to pretend When given a way to amend Division was bought Unity is what we got Crushing all doubt Abba love pours out Faith in a measure Love is the treasure We seek in the mystery We praise the unseen When tares rise in me Collected and cast in fire Even when I see the storm Wheat is stored in my...

Being Desperate to succeed, Means desperate to foresee. To foresee the rudiments of success, On steady look and not on swift races. Though sense organs react to tranny's pains, If they endure, it results to plenty gains. As tolerance life's span has no limit, That's why success stay for no limit. There are tyrant on the walls of pen and paper, That even syringe...

The scarecrow could hardly wait until the sun went down He would climb off his post and twirl around and around The corn stalks loved watching the pumpkin-head dance He trotted and marched, and then did kind of a prance But before The Browns, his farmers, woke up for the day He climbed back on the post and proceeded to...

My emotions spinning around My world's turned upside down. I'm out of control Confusion rules my soul. Agony is reaching it's highest peak My voice cracks when I try to speak. Every hour of every day I think of you in every way. As the storm makes the wind spin around and around Inside my mind, I feel like I'm going to drown. The torture...

They went mudd’n down at the water hole Getting their trucks filthy was the goal Grandma said they needed to bless her soul They baptized that old lady in the water hole Everyone has a beard down in the holler Because haircuts cost more than a dollar The best rednecks live in squaller My pig is Sophie, you may call her. We ride...

Sun down in Death Valley The memory of white branded heat Falls away so fast Dissolving in flashes of sagebrush shadows The long flat bands of sand Submerged in desert darkness, the sky A wall of impassive indigo The moon a ghost, ancient When the sun was young To walk this vast Wind pricked emptiness Is to feel the grim beauty of nature As our dust parched...
