Liked Poems | Examples

she liked the attention

they did not always call her donut head
but after she became one, what else would they call her?
I have a name, she would yell at people
They laughed

Maybe it was too much her friends suggested
she refused to change it
she liked the attention
just not the laughs

We Liked Tailor Very Much

Tailor had a circuit, he arrived three times a year to sew us up
He used to have a cat, a fish, a dog, a wife and a pup
The wife got tired of the traveling and took the pets to settle down
She was fed up with the hassle of always moving town to town.

Tailor loved his life, and did not much miss his wife.
She had been a harpy, grousing most of their married life.
But he did miss the dog and the cat, and especially the fish.
To get a new pet was his fervent wish.

Tailor brought along his sewing machine, materials, zippers and such.
The people in my town liked him more than a little, actually, very much.
We took up a collection and bought him an orangutan to travel with.
He made him a three-piece suit, and named him Little Kith.

Everyone Liked Garret

Everyone liked Garret.
The girls wanted to be his friend.
The boys wanted to be him.
Garret was like a charming epidemic
Mimicked by his appreciative peers.
Adored by his teachers.
His smile was dazzling.
His reputation widespread.

she liked her old housedress

she is wearing a bedraggled housedress
blue with enormously large red and yellow mums
it is faded now, but really soft, threadbare in spots

we surprise her with a new one for her eightieth birthday
she overly thanks us with this pink delight
but we never see her wear it; she wears the old one

when her estate is up for sale there are sixteen boxes
with brand new housedresses in them
none worn

people gave her new ones every year for Christmas
and for her birthday but she liked the old one.
They buried her in it.

my parents never liked air conditioning

my parents never liked air conditioning
only turned it on for company
not every summer day, maybe twice in August
if it was over five hundred degrees outside
both were Iowa farm kids
used to the heat and being sweaty
hard workers who cared little for luxury
did not hold stock in fancy fussy things

I liked the feeling holding the knife to chop it off maybe because I didn't do it by my hands

The flower I gifted you.
You didn't wore it anyway, did you?
I would've liked to chop it off,
So why are now,
Trying to spread your pollen over the meadow,
While you, 
Are elergic to that?

Do how did you feel getting dumped?

I feel like the worst witch.
Yeah you didn't mine decline anything at all.
But she did to you right?
So you cried that day right?
I did every day.

Do you find the problem?

liked it so much

Here comes that fantastic clown dog with his bulldog Mike
They both very much enjoyed New York circus run by Mr. Spike
Dancing was frowned upon, so they barked and gave a hop.
Liked it so much, no one could make either of them pause or stop.

I Always Liked the Rain

I always liked the rain
It’s avant-garde disdain
Encased in every raindrop
Its tauntingly cold chill
Trickling off a drippy nose
Its million centipede dance steps
Puckering the dust, stirring the mud
The child like joy of running through puddles
Popsicle stick armadas attacked by giants
Mud pies with maple twig candles

I still enjoy the rain
Walk more slowly
Savoring its scent
The icy edge of its smile
Its tear like essence
Reminding me
That I now walk alone

She Liked It With Nuts

There were no guys quite like Ben and Jerry   
                     She depended on them for her dairy
She liked it with nuts
No ifs, ands or buts
And she often found room for a cherry

Innocent Who We Liked and Would Do

Horn 7-5-7 Haiku

had been innocent
who we always loved and liked
forever would do

This said it all and is a story within itself.

Khaki Has Never Other Fabrics Liked

Khaki has never other fabrics liked:
It has even their wearer’s bodies disliked,
Their forgivable flaws, their blunders hyped 
And their names and their nicknames mistyped!

Sometimes you hear, “Like onions slice them!”
And begun a solving of what wasn’t a problem;
Bound to uncannily unfold
What Plain Malice does hold …

By then, it would be fanciful
To ask your questions – A roomful:
‘What and what next shall happen?’
And whether or not blades shall sharpen …

It shall have been a busying with fiction
By the time we triggers eschew from ruction 
Khaki has seldom The Plain clothes liked
And has, indeed, other fabrics spiked; 
Often through insistence on Inaction
And treatment of either as a faction.

I Thought I Liked To Play With Fire

I thought I liked to play with fire 
until your flame left it’s mark;
Bewildered, I walk around now 
aching for a little bit more 
of your smoke to inhale;

Forever isn’t enough; 

Sizzling, I think how would it be
to get a little bit higher    
come a little bit closer 
let my senses get muddled; 
Just feel you,
drown inside your touch; 

Forever isn’t enough;

When you’re not around 
you’re not gone;
Not really;
The echo you leave behind
never subsides 
instead seems to intensify,
the spark that you ignited  
leaves me longing to fly;

It seems forever isn’t enough.

I Have Never Liked Old People

They ask me for no advice.
I have out aged them by fifty years.
I am not insulted
Remembering my own aversion to old people


It is not their fault I was assigned to their school.
They pretend to like me.
I am doubtful.
I used to despise old people
And now I am one.

I have never liked anything about old people.
I mean – ANYTHING.
They remind me of nursing homes and funeral homes.
Neither seem pleasurable.

I don’t even see my friends any more
They are too “old” for me
I keep getting younger and they
well…
they are just
old
