Hooks Poems - Poems about Hooks

obsessions

I can be obsessive. For instance, last night I needed a command hook.
My mind couldn’t focus on “Principles of Biostatistics,” as fascinating as that book is, because I needed this $3 command hook to hang my keys by the door.

There’s a table by the door, I could easily put my keys there, but no. That’s

I Am the Blue Marlin


 I was made
To venture undulating time
 And chase the tides forever facing forward 
  Through glinting waves by unknown shores 

I migrate 
The oceans’ warm currents for 
Thousands of miles yearly,  continuing
Always onward, always embraced by water

I am
The mighty blue marlin mirroring a sight
Of the blue heavens above, divinely
I was created to

Sky Hooks Hang Themselves

Will the sky topple inward
or the hills heap upwards
it I do not make these symbols
upon a snow-white field?

Will a poet turn to stone
before my eyes
or will a jackdaw caw
pointlessly into a gale?

And now the thin thread
thickens
becomes a full gutted snake 
laying across a dusty road

or is it a rope
knotted and curling
as obtuse as any 
imponderable

Hooks

i have business here
not in your world but mine

your hat is hanging on a different hook
when the wind blows
both hats fly in different sky-scapes

if you dream of this
i dream of that

see you later
when the wind settles down
on a planet
neither of us belong to

Sky Hooks

SKYHOOKS

They pulled me up when 
I was mired in a quagmire
of rules and regulations,
and helped me parry
the thrust of a bayonet
in the heat of a battle 
we never could win.
They showed me the path 
to everlasting love
when no one believed 
it could ever endure.
They guided my heart
on how to grow old
as nothing but a pile

S-Hooks

S-hooks upon the lake,
Swimming swans gracing water
With their presence in June.

A stage of
Graceful performers
In a ballet.

Hooks

I wrote this song as a sort of self-therapy. I've only just started up writing again, so I'd really really love criticism, in as much detail as possible if you have it or feel like giving it. Only one rule: please be polite and keep your criticisms within reason. 

 (Verse 1) 
We pay for

Fish Hooks and High Heels

Standing along side souls,
You sit here where no one
ever sits.


Trembling dead roses
lost there beauty,
as women sing songs of being alone,
for all of love
is unfinished.


when it was quiet
you knew it was over.

Space-Age Hooks and Barbs

It has been DECADES!

And yet, for some ridiculous reason, we 
still choose to TIE our shoes and
BUTTON our trousers, ZIP our
blouses.

How ridiculous.

When Man first invented the wheel, do 
you suppose that there were some naysayers who said;
"I'm still going to drag my loads through the dirt on a rope. It was 
good enough for my

Boys Ii - Worms, Hooks and Foreplay

the boys were lazy
except when they wanted something
like your car
or food
or sex
oh yes sex
was a good motivater
for attention and detention
good thing I had a good appetite and could
match them one for one
boys were lazy
but trolling
if a girl could do all the work
that would be fine
that would be perfect
sure I'll be your boyfriend
when can we have
