Overflowing Poems | Examples

Hurricanes

The banks here were overflowing
The trees bent down, down like twigs
The wind howled, blowing to and fro
We didn't know the storm would be so big
I'm talking about down in Texas
Hurricane Alecia
Hurricane Ike
And Hurricane Beryl
They crashed into the seawall
The skies were dark and bleak
Storms in Texas are a squall
They happen any day of the week

Overflowing Heart

We haven’t shared a lifetime,
but these days feel profound,
Each moment wrapped in laughter,
your voice, the sweetest sound.

You make me smile so deeply,
my soul lights up anew,
A heart once calm, now brimming,
overflows, all thanks to you.

You joke about your brilliance,
as if it’s hard to see,
But, love, you’re breathtaking—
you’re everything to me.

You’ve shown me care and kindness
in ways I’ve never known,
A garden full of blossoms,
from seeds you’ve gently sown.

So let me tell you, plainly,
what words could never show:
You are my joy, my wonder,
my heart’s unending glow.

OVERFLOWING KINDNESS

Today…a blessing for kindness…
For…how often do we find…
to those we love…our friends and family…
it’s easy to be kind.

This blessing asks for that same kindness
to cascade…to overflow….
on to every creature of the Earth…
even those we do not know.

Overflowing

The blank page that was staring at me
  is now overflowing with typography

Nothing I've written means anything
  yet here I am, doing handsprings

Overflowing With Hope

The house is as fresh as a drain -
the toilet is blocked yet again -
but 'nature arose'
and holding my nose,
I prayed as I yanked on the chain...

She Fished the Ice Out of the Water To Stop It Overflowing

If the title is suggestive they watch me 
put their name in it they watch me 
the only time they get attention 
the only time they get a mention 
centre stage, run the show, 
watching me because they know 
I shine a light they glow 
watch the numbers grow 
it’s a sad life that their living 
and it really is a given 
that they lap it up and love it 
when I tell them where to shove it 
that short lived power trip 
to a lifelong sour lip 
yes you were a munter boss 
whose never ever known a loss 
because you’ve never had a lot 
your missing brain and bottom pops 
wishing you were someone hot 
clever interesting you’re not 
sense of humour not a human 
that moustache forever booming 
no man was ever after you 
unattractive daft and rude
but trust me they would laugh at you 
laughing at you not with you
yes you really oughta 
fish the ice out the water 
yes it melts and flows right over 
if you’re that dumb you’re a knower 
that knows nothing at all 
you should have gone to school 
you’re so stupid you will never know 
just how stupid overall

Goodwill Overflowing

Praise be to the tranquil home
Where care and amity abide
Like a well-worn book or favorite poem
In whose members we confide
And whose values are our guide

Ill-fated is the raging home 
Where resentment and cruelty reign
Like an outcast always bound to roam
Doomed to empty constant pain 
Where no glimmer of will remain

Blessed is our home within
Where resides a treasure glowing
Without temptation need or sin
Just eternal pure love glowing
And goodwill overflowing

Overflowing With Love

Overflowing with love describes me well
Thought by now the fire would die
Uh-uh, oh-no, not a chance of that happening
Still filled with that love stuff inside

Love sees a lot of changes through life
But one thing always remains constant
It's a perpetual desire to love one another
We recognize love in an instant

Been down that road quite a few times
But some things we never forget
Love is the answer no matter the question
We discover during life's perilous trek

I can honestly say throughout my journey
Had more than my share of crushes
But for you my sweet, my love stays constant
I still tingle and my heart still gushes!

Overflowing Void

The jar is full 
I've hit all the walls
So many plans in my head 
But without getting out ,
There's nowhere else to go
I'm gonna flow out but I won't 
You sipping is the only way I'm getting out

I'm not food poison as you think 
Know I'm not sweet 
But I ain't bitter either 
Trust me I'm gonna taste better 
Pick it up anytime you want 
I'll stay in till then in the dark without a clue
Know you don't realise I'm in here 
Because the water in here,
You didnt pour .
But I cant see you either 
And not taking guesses on the other side

The harder I cling on to these walls
The harder it gets 
But I'm not letting go 
Until I feel the suction 
It might be never 
But it's okay 
The inside is infinite too you know?
Know I've not reached infinity but I know I don't want it as much as a passage out.

Front Gutter Overflowing Again

Gads. Our gutter in front was overflowing again.
We have really been getting a lot of rain lately.
Have been saving flower seed and other odds
and ends for you. Think my grass will need
one last cutting for the year. Watched our
virtual church service on line. Jill is
whipping up some great soup.

Overflowing Love

Behind the curtain my heart overflows with love ~
come and drown yourself
