Short Encroach Poems

Drew Brees threw with ease
For Who-Dats to please
But never encroach
Upon the head coach
In spite of their pleas...

Don’t you dare encroach, 
your behavior is beyond reproach; 
Seething and you still approach?
This space is mine damn cockroach....

Charred edges
Slowly curl inward,
Like a hand closing into a fist.
Flames bounce
Briefly as they encroach
Upon the last remaining
Shred....

Dark blue
Echoes 
Persistently 
Repeatedly and 
Encroach m
Sadly and 
Sordidly 
Inside the forbidden
Only to make me
Never what to return again

I fight for my heart                                                                 The darkness and guilt encroach                                          For life, love, family....

Ladybugs
outline the memory of my childhood,
marking the pathway of my approach

Orange and black
like Halloween candy corn, 
tempting diversion—they lure to encroach

Have you ever heard the Eagles
  lonesome cry
  as we encroach deeper into his domain
  the fainter his cry becomes
  Until one day, the only cries that will
  be heard
  are our lonesome cries of
  where has all the Eagles gone!...

bluish seagulls encroach
the greenish out fields of
torture bestowing the lamented
souls pickled thoughts
bizarre regiments of
curious wants bombarding
the elements of vernacular needs
i shed tears of blood
on your decorated tomb...

Trump and Black Roach

Everyone's environment Trump did encroach;
Even naked woman wearing beautiful broach;
Wiggle trying,
While  dying;
She had turned out to be a huge black roach.

Jim Horn

In order to put up with Trump you have to 
be able to laugh him off like his idiot supporters
do....

Listen to poem:

Like tyrant Trojans
pandemic prophets proclaim…
Habitual horrid hosts
the wolf seeds the lamb,
Fallacious fevers encroach-
masters of mayhem dictate.

I espied a young roach
As he did encroach
Upon a spot I call my place
I gunned him with some mace

In madness he did flee
Into a hole I could not see
Twas assumed death was his fate
Yet he had only gone to mate

And so I sit where I still live
Viewing the territory I did give
Unto this most clever foe
And his multitudes born below...

Were it not for the well,
the garden would be a desert,
and famine would encroach
across the land.

Donkeys bray in the distance;
there is no fog to obscure them.
They are accustomed to hot weather
being bred for it.

They feed on dry stubble or weeds 
and thrive.
We, who are more inclined to luxury,
want cooled air and strawberries....

A December sun summons Winter’s freeze,
but a November sun shares its golden rays.
And upon a canvas of leaves, paints the trees,
as longer nights encroach upon shorter days.
Nature dips Her brush in a November sun
and transforms the landscape before She is done.
Fall’s changing leaves are a magnificent sight,
a pageant of color before Winter's white....

A DIABOLICAL CRISIS

Rhino, rhino, rhino,
Encroach, encroach, encroach,
Approach, approach, approach,
Poach, poach, poach!

Lion, lion, lion,
Die, die, die,
Why, why, why,
Cry, cry, cry!

Elephants, elephants, elephants
Fear, fear, fear,
Near, near, near,
Tear, tear, tear!

These 3 animals are killed for financial gain,
Let all the world hear so sanity will reign!...

Gloaming is wont to quell
the ginger smoke,
expunge the crimson flames
that surround the mill.
Lilac shadows encroach 
to cloak the hull's mossy patina.
Autumn's wild rooster,
struts its brash plumage
among fallen shingles and rotted planks
until a black hawk soars,
eclipsing feral zinnias' embers
just as calliope chimes
of a fallen carousel
disappear in taloned pine air.

Hearing the waters
Translucent lavender flow
Imagination
Enriched blind, senses kick in
Silence abounds, clothes in fall

Naked to bare dip
Porcelain to porcelain
Glass of champagne chinks
Lapping ripples in caress
Submerged delights allure me

Patiently I wait
Her cue, for me to approach
Encroach, I go through
Eyes, eye, tanned undulations
When said bubbles dissipate...

COPLA TRES (THREE):  This Bad Guy World

Bad guys signal to each other
In cryptic lingo and hand signs
Close ranks bind ties

Egg-white eyes of the murderer
Encroach the pupil with designs
Embryo dies

No worse enemy than the friend
Who feigns being a bosom pal:
Snake in the shoe

They know their role is to offend
Their lives but ephemeral
Do they yet rue

Weigh The Facts
Written: by Miracle Man
11-2-2019

The difference is frequently in how I think, 
About solving problems ready to encroach.
Situations can change in one eye’s blink,
With ample thought and a healthy approach.

But problem solving always requires action,
Let sound advice come from trusted voices.
To gain momentum and increase traction,
I weigh the facts before making my choices.

Cyber Monday’s almost gone
So everyone at Amazon
Can take a minute and a breath;
(I’m sure they must be worked to death!)

But as the holidays approach,
Some frenzied shoppers will encroach
On all the patience of the clerks;
(For out there, there are lots of jerks!)

Let’s hope that stores and online sites
Help customers procure delights
For friends and kin without much grief;
(And after New Year’s – what relief!)...

With a storm at night
At Wuthering heights 
I see, that you approach
You knew my heart
Right from the start 
My hopes, thy would encroach 

They say with fear,
You can't be here
But my senses say, they're wrong   
And On this Loch,
I'll stay and talk
Till I see you swim along

What is real
and what is not
I leave to those who are wise
As I stay by the lake
And talk to the fake
That comes real in front of my eyes...

The Green Fight

The land is green

But unclearly seen

 

The deserts may dare to encroach

Human activities may threaten to reproach

Yet we must fight for nature even beyond the seas

Together we can replant a greener world and build tall trees

 

Wedge the flood and erosion, keep the deserts at bay

For the love of the green life plant a tree today

 

The land could be green

And could be clearly seen

COPLA 106 RESOLUTION : This Bad Guy World

The still centre of independence
Is not inhabited by vacancy :
Inaction voids

Can Love alone ensure existence
In a void and make Bad Guys fancy
No harm overrides

Stand not alone unless you renounce
All the joys of life within your reach :
Dangers approach

Bad Guys derive pleasure from their stance
In damning Good Guys isolated each :
Then they encroach

Locked doors,
All kept away,
Hid from view,
They are not keepsakes,
They trouble and hurt,
They weary and hunt,
They barge and disparate,
They are disturbing thoughts,
They interrupt the flow of fond memories,
They encroach on salient moments,
Unlocking yesterday is an ailing pill,
It is cloaked in the sheets of the night,
It is buried in the deepest of the earth,
Corroded beyond use are its keys,
Fastened shut are its doors.
