Scribble Poems

What's a Poet To Do?

I sit and ponder, allow my mind to wander
And wonder about what I ponder
Then put pen to paper, begin to scratch and scribble
Hoping endless hoping that someone will read my dribble
And then reading perhaps exclaim
“This poem deserves acclaim”
crickets
Ahh, what’s a poet to do
But ponder through and through
Then wander further afar
Find a wonder so bizarre
And purchase

Scribble scrabble dribble drabble
What is that scratching?
I still myself and listen
Is it coming from the oak tree or ground?

A tiny but gorgeous fluffy caramel mouse is in my leaves
I watch her or him or they
She is nibbling on something
Her tiny hands are exquisitely pretty

I leave her to it, thinking I have never seen such a

Premium MemberI Scribble Scrabble Scratch and Scrawl

I scribble, scrabble, scratch and scrawl
Squiggly words on walls down the hall
I am a scribe, and I must write
Sentences flowing out of sight

Some people might not be able to comprehend
My ideas are pushing and prodding me to begin
I have a pencil or pen in my hand every day.
Almost every moment is grand, writing is play.

Premium MemberPencils scribble

Lockers slam, a metal roar,
Then quiet falls, books hit the floor.
No tests today, no homework sighs,
Just whispering leaves and butterfly skies.

Sunlight paints the desks with stripes,
As whispers bloom like dandelion pipes.
Chairs tilt back, imaginations take flight,
Through emerald jungles, bathed in sun's pure light.

Pencils scribble, tales unfurl,
Of talking beasts and dragons in a whirl.
Volcanoes erupt, castles

Song of a Heartbroken Scribbler

Happy Sad Day to me.
Who cares about the high cholesterol,
I will immediately gulp this Brownie candy.
Let the triglycerides increase,
only chocolate can set me free
because it's a Happy Sad Day for me.
I'm letting the sadness increase
so that I can swallow more chocolate pastry.
Happy Sad Day to me.
Now friends don't ask me the reason.
Can't answer as I

Scribble Picture s
David J Walker

I learn no more 
then I already know 
When I pour 
The black words 
on white paper

reading them again
and then
	painting a picture
in the candlelight flicker
of scenes shown 
sooner or later

crushed by
	a single brush 
in the fresh hues of 
	various shades on

indigo blues
framed in a
	scribbled picture

Premium MemberChristmas Letter

Little Ben picked up an ink pen,
To write a letter to his father,
Sat at his little table and chair,
In his mother’s bedroom up stair!

He started with salutation ‘Hi’!
Which at writing was his first,first try,
He followed it up with list of toys,
cars and trains and such playthings for boys.

At age of two he did very well,
To

Dribble drabble dimply dish
Sunny solemn simple sojourner
Boiling biting bunson burner

Wrinkly brinkly water bottle
Twisting words we rarely swaddle

Bare your buttocks, bubbly beach.

When edges are shapely,
               as curves match the form in a perfect- yet ( imperfect way )
        of course they do, as everything certainly falls into place

Scribble

I can't speak natural hankering affectivity,  
Otherwise a pen begins writing out my encumbered mind,
Scribbling uncontrollably; it flows like lava from a volcano, 
A scorching of withheld expressions, yet these pages are  bandages for healing. 

A metaphoric hug cuddling curious eyes,
Pasted along by their word of mouth, 
Caught with ears which are intrigued, 
My unorthodox
