Pipe Up Poems - Poems about Pipe Up

Horatio Nelson

Years ago I did so choose, to go on a Caribbean clipper ship cruise,
and, in addition to several other islands,
anchored off Nevis, northwest of Saint Kitts,
where, in the late 1780's, Nelson had lived,
and still bears traces of his presence today,
in various parts, pieces and bits.
When our windjammer Skipper informed us,
'Shopping here's good, snorkeling is bad,'
I

The Storm Water Pipe

The storm water pipe
gaped into open air
from an embankment 
where it surfaced
from underground.
The opening was a little
smaller than my childhood height
and they said it stretched
a mile or more but nobody
knew for sure.

A danger sign warned
against entry saying 
the pipe was subject to sudden
flooding - a protective grate
had a hole big enough
to crawl through. 
I would

Pine sap pipe

In the deep spiked pine forests

On a walk you forgot you took

Snow up your knees

Twenty feet away

An enormous old house

Not abandoned, smoke from the chimney

Large windows, dark wood walls

A forest castle here for you 

To explore perhaps

Eyes flash pink with sun light 

Through the unlocked door 

In the main hall

Taste the dust

 Ancient carvings everywhere

A cough from upstairs

There by

The Pipe Major's Embarrassment

The pipe major at the front led the way
On this cold and windy St Patrick's day 
He was six foot and well built 
A freak gust blew up his kilt
The crowd cheered at his manhood on display... 

Mr Drain Pipe and Mr Water Tank

Mr Drain Pipe and Mr Water Tank

Oh I really do hope Mr Drain Pipe and 
Mr Water Tank can 
reach a 
common decision about:
the best garden design (backyard at 
this stage), the right shape and colour of 
path bricks, the most suitable 
hedges, the easiest grass to 
maintain.

Exhausted Pipe

My neighbor has a new boyfriend
most every night he arrives 
in his little black sports car
to pick up his glittery prize.
His little black sports car 
has a big exhaust pipe...
that wakes me up most every night.
Sometimes he parks his little black sports car
in front of my mailbox-
He's pretty buff and has a mean little face
and

PIPE DREAMS

Not impossible
Just possibilities
Curious minds unfold
Imagination vibes
Journey through expectancy
Hidden thoughts beyond
Decisions to make
Avoiding any mistakes
Give and take
Dreaming stories
Surprises within realizes
Logic through understanding
Wild as it seems
Wavy streams
One point to several theories
One thing after another
Each dream different from the other
Dare to imagine
Only to dream

Pipe Lines of Kaimu: Much Ado About Poi

Welcome to a typical 'Luau' spread. The first thing that is best to learn is the Hawaiian word, 'ono', which means, delicious. It's a word bandied about before and after food goes in your mouth. In later years, it became a slang word as 'onolicious.' The main dish at any luau is Poi (PO-ee) pronounced

Pipe Lines of Kaimu: Imu Ground Oven

Preparations for 'Luau' (LOU-ow) or a Hawaiian Party-like event, for a church Luau, would be a 'Ho'ike' (hoe-'E-kay). The hunters will tie the hind legs of whatever animal will go into an 'i'mu' (E'-moo), which is a dugout hole in the dirt ground, and small amounts of sand thrown in to tame the dirt to

Pipe Lines of Kaimu: The Hawaiian Church in Kalapana

I stood at the top of our dirt driveway looking back at our two-story house. It's kind of a long house where, from our second-floor windows, you can see cars driving on the lane road in our village. Now with that said, Kalapana village is what I would call its, 'Heyday Period'. Just to the

Pipe Lines of Kaimu: Heading Out

A dawning twilight's me. Oh, joy. Oh, what a joy. This day. Oh, what a day. A breath bestills my eyes and I, e'er slight, a deeper breath that reopened them and myself to a blessed pleasing. All the while, the barking, the barking, it goes on, with the rattling chains and their forgiving little

Pipe Lines of Kaimu: Prologue

The orbiting host of a forenoon sky claims a sunny day. They are attributed for the better part of each year, primarily affecting the island's leeward side. On its windward side, periodic downpours from time to time yield a measurable output, and at times when hurricane season befalls the islands, the impact can be considerably

Pitch Pipe Overture

Sing for me and make it a cappella,
an album of musical afternoons;
By the light of the old candelabra
with a pitch pipe harness exotic tunes;

Your voice a passport to a far off land
no need for any accompaniment;
Colorful suitcase let me hold your hand 
I’m smitten by the vocal enchantment;

That accent so deliciously foreign 
I want to

The Parable of the Pipe-Down Piper

Behold the Pied Piper has tossed his pipe belatedly in the trash
   Having led folks down some garden paths he trousered wads of cash
Dollars, pounds, euros, rolls of wallpaper - the currency didn’t matter
   He gathered countless cretins, enchanted by piffle and patter

From sound suburban Ruislip to Henley-on-the-Thames
   This

Pipe Cleaner Visage

He gifted his girl with a doll
he brought home from every trip.
Oh, how the beauty would enthrall!
Always her heart would flop and flip.

A doll so rigid stiff and straight,
she had to have a pedestal
just to support he couture’s weight!
Her fashions were incredible.

Her essence was molded plastic.
Her hair and eye color unique.
Her formal wear was fantastic,
