Heads Up Poems | Examples

Heads Up

I saw a jet, jet ‘cross the sky

silvered high, captivating my 
eye: 

Surely no meteor could show 
natural better, icing the sky
leaving lick-able tails of frosty
air glitter -- 

The jet made circles

a lariat rhinestone cowboy

or sparkly pinwheel in the hands of
dancing child – surely some future
astronaut, making
novelty of atomic flash and fire – 

celestial lollipops

two scoop cones of sprinkled faceted
stars….

Heads Up!

Roaring African Diamond, Rolling Thunder, Beloved Warrior—

Cotton’s Violent Cr-owner craving Tougher, Blacker Pickers

praying Brother, Sisters, Mothers, Fathers couldn’t recover

Delight, Comfort, Dignity, Respect, Fortune, Majesty… covered

Blinded Visions, Inhuman Vitriol flowing through Uncivil

Society. Grander Savages casting Shallow Shadows; Ignoble

Secrets. Darkest Templar, Limited Freedom belongs Nowhere.

Heads Up

Heads up, there's a duck
Looks like angel in heaven
That brings us good luck.

A Heads Up

I exist - but I also exist inside the heads of other people
both knowing what I’ve done and what they have me do
when they close their eyes; it is inside these other heads
that we last longer, I think that’s where I truly take place

Heads Up

Sometimes I sit and wonder if we got it all wrong
Staring down at our feet as the world spins along

Could pick up our head to start seeing in a new light
Realizing beauty is abound if we adjust our eyesight  

Opportunities unlock when we zoom out our focus 
Things we missed before are now suddenly noticed 

Might even look up to see the sun shining brighter 
Allowing us to move through our days a little lighter

Heads Down Heads Up

I
We forget, days go by
We forget to gaze at sky

II
We are so earth-bound, non-birds
We see level, ground level, as words
Made for learning, learning theory, that is
Bound in text, texting, books, libraries

III
I learn to remind myself to look at sky
If u can't see skies easily, look high!
Trees will do, even thorns. If there are hills
Do gaze. Amaze you: mood lifts, soul trills

Heads Up

When driving, we use WAZE, which is
A talking GPS.
It finds the quickest routes and thus
Eliminates some stress.

At times, it issues warnings
Like an "obstacle on road,"
So we'll both be on the lookout
To avoid our being towed.

But it took a while to realize 
That an "animal ahead"
Won't leap out to cause some damage;
It's already stone cold dead!

After Finding a Penny Heads Up

after finding a penny heads up
i am introduced a new type of day
it is like a movement on a trampoline
suddenly i am travelling in another chapter of pure and sure beauty
a symphony begins in the many melodies of a simple breeze
i choose not to return to my former life
instead i learn to be an explorer of many different scenes
my family consists of suitcases and coolers
my home consists of one bedroom suites and amazing amenities
none of this happens without finding a penny heads of
it is framed in my mind smooth with every movement
that penny has turned into an increasing array of million dollar memories
Thank God I Found You....

Heads Up

I was texting and fell down a well,
I lost my iphone, "Oh damn, Oh hell,"
I can't stop the bleeding
so with you I'm pleading...
"Please, tear off my thumbs! That would be swell."


For people addicted to their phone(s)!

Heads Up

Keep your head up
don't think of giving everything up,
it's not worth it.

Heads Up Soldiers!

Soldiers heads up!The battle will now begin.
Raise your height to the steady sirens calling.
You only have one choice and this is to win.
Fight in a game of survival with conditions appalling.

Raise your height to the steady sirens calling.
On the other side the enemy waits for one wrong move.
Fight in a game of survival with conditions appalling.
Your weapons are your life.To the trigger your power prove.

On the other side the enemy waits for one wrong move.
Look around soldiers.Today is the time for a decision.
Your weapons are your life.To the trigger your power prove.
Fate will be your fatal glory,invading your inner vision.

Look around soldiers.Today is the time for a decision.
Are your innocent souls ready to carry such heavy load?
Fate will be your fatal glory,invading your inner vision.
Use your dreams to carve with steps and blood this road.

Are your innocent souls ready to carry such heavy load?
You only have one choice and this is to win.
Use your dreams to carve with steps and blood this road.
Soldiers heads up!The battle will now begin.

The clouds may vary
           But
Tornados are scary

Heads Up!

Through the yars I have wondered,
what's on my dogs mind,
do they like to play hide and seek?
Or would they much rather find,
do they enjoy our evening walks?
do they ever wish that they could talk?
do they like what I've chosen for them to eat?
would they pick and choose,
all the same treats?
do they like when their paws sink deep in the sand,?
or do they much prefer,
the solid of land?
why do they bury their bones in the dirt?
when they see a girl dog,
do they doggie flirt?
do they love their home?
Are they happy I'm their mother?
do they ever wish they lived alone?
or wish they were another/?
Though I may never truely know,
what my dogs are thinking of, 
I know we have one thought the same,
and that's the thought of love.
