Short Gather Up Poems

Poseidon’s spear slashed out from the angry waves
A tumultuous monsoon began to gather up the sea
The faerie folk went into hiding
When they saw army of sea cupids...

Given Up All Hope

Of things, Trump never understood the scope,
While women, he would gather up and grope;
Always mumbling;
An idiot bumbling,
And on him we definitely did give up all hope.

Building castles on a sandy beach
I left to gather up more sand
But, in one castle, a shock
Ran through my wind-blown locks
Castle, occupied 
Sand crab resides
Pinched finger
Band-aid
Time....

As dawn meets a new day 
I stretch and raise
When I reach for my
Thoughts of yesterday 
As I gather up my memories, 
Before they get away
We should all be thankful
For all the good things 
That has come our way
Today and....... ALWAYS...

hark
     arise
gather up
      your
      thoughts,
spread out
      your
          wings
and fly:
the 
world
         is
         your
         oyster
Let nothing
hold
       you back

inspired by Strauss Sunrise op 30 clip...

Come gather heart
sing a song so vibrantly
whispers sharp voices
in soul harmonies

Reach out and touch
embracing loves choice
gather up life's due rewards
love me once have and hold

CAN'T WAIT  FISHING BAIT by James Edward Lee Sr.



   I would go into the garage and…
   Gather up all my fishing stuff.
   Soon as I’m done head to car.
   Put key in ignition.
   On my way to lake
   All ready now.
   Wait a sec.
   Forgot
   BAIT

i can gaze
at the moon,
but i can't
touch her

i can
gather up
flowers,
i can't 
be a flower,

i can
listen
to birds
sing,
i can't
sing
like they do,

i can
hold leaves
in my hand,
i can't become
a tree,

i can
taste
raindrops,
i can't
be the cloud....

October evening, gold and gray
Storm clouds gather up above
Winds will whisper, trees will sway
With barn owls and with mourning doves

October evening, gray and gold
Soon the lantern shall be lit
And hoards of specters, young and old
Like moths, will all be drawn to it....

ROOTS

They came seeking a future not their own
carrying naught but memories too soon to fade
into the substance of a union of hearts.
In leaving left the spitting image of themselves
to gather up their memories lest they fade.

As long As you love me 
I'll stay by your side 
I'll be your companion 
your friend and your guide

As long as you love me 
As long as you care 
I'll do anything for you 
I'll go anywhere with you

I'll bring you the sunshine 
I'll comfort your tears
I'll gather up rainbows 
to chase all your tears....

Take a quick moment to sneak a peak into me
Into my pain, but only gather up the pieces of me, which do not desire to cause you this same rain.

I am purposely here. You are to, don’t be drowned out by the sorrows left in you!

Get up! The fight is isn’t OVER, and you can’t win a battle, wishing on a four leaved clover!...

When life brings us what it brings us

We must never ignore the option of UP

Look up

Get up

Stand up

Sit up

Climb up

Lift up

Firm up

Rise up

Step up

Rouse up

Stir up

Move up

Scale up

Gather up

Regardless of what life brings us

Recovery follows when we explore the option of UP

Why
does my
Pa always
insist that I
help gather up thousands of fallen leaves
when many tree branches are still covered,
we will repeat
it next week...
I hate
fall!

~ Day's sealed ~

The sun's made its turn
   Farmer's chores almost done
It's afternoon's downside
   Kick back, stretch and yawn  

Afternoon heat shimmers
   over cornstalks and hay
Nearing the end 
   of another workday

Gather up some stray eggs
   Feed the cows one last meal
The shadows now long
   Come sunset ~ day's sealed...

Beneath each slender limb and bough
Are beds of russet silken cloths
Discarded leaflets from their home
Like orphans left to die alone

As rumors spread by autumn wind
She'll gather up each orphan, gold
No headstone for the bold and rust
Cold ash to ash... will turn to dust

I’ve been gone to long my children.
I am coming back to gather up my people, this world has not changed. I see how much of me is gone, 
It breaks my heart  to see. But I’m coming back with vengeance every rock will cry out.
Where will your heart be? The devil is winning to many 
souls. I have been gone to long I’m coming back to take my 
faithful home...

On the days the wind does blow
life gets caught up in how things should go
and winds gather up the harvest from the field to tow
to blow up harvest in good flight it may freely flow
but what of those who never know
and never feel the warm winds of autumn blow
and the scythes will never come home
and all hope of good harvest is then
 forever gone...

S-atisfaction fills the day, 
A-s the sun shines in the sky; 
R-aindrops shall never fall
A-s clouds don't gather up
H-igh.

J-ubilation brings brightness, 
A-ugust thirtieth early morn; 
N-ight shadows disappear, 
E-cstasy won't get worn.

R-apture and pure pleasure
E-levate the joy of occasion; 
Y-our birth causes gladness, 
E-ventful day of
S-atisfaction....

Passions unite;
My heart witness;
Minds loses sight;
Kisses of spiritual  bliss;

O' Lord God gather up your people:
Father surround the temple;
My eyes whispers,
those sonnets playing;
As my feet dances to abundance  street serenede

My heart witness;
Mind still loses sight;
Kisses of spiritual bliss;
Passions united..

My world is getting smaller
as age draws distance in.
And yet its orbit grows larger 
as it extends outwards
to gather up all the ordinary 
and familiar things to flare 
and shine bright
in the heavens of the mind,
swirling in an endless arc
just above my chair. 
I reach up
and plunge my hand
deep into the light
to see what I can bring 
back stuck in the wrinkles 
of my skin....

When I was crazy,

Everyone was bubbles.

And they never popped.

And they never shrunk to nothingness.

Everything was about to repair itself naturally.

When I was crazy,

I would gather up my family and friends.

I would talk and forget, talk and forget.

Then explain with a jolt.

My words would bubble and burble like from a fish’s mouth.

When I was crazy…

Everyone loved me.

When I was crazy....

Wind that blows from the north,
Crown this little note a breath.
Wind that blows from the south,
Gather these dreams and make them the truth.
Wind that blows from the west,
Fan this body away from boredom test.
Wind that blows from the east,
Gather up for nee what is best.
Wind that blows from beneath
The earth,
Crosses over 
And stretches your wings over,
Empowers and strengthens 
This -an ingeniously evergreen.

There's monsters in the seas and forests. 
It's obvious this is not our home.
Volcanoes and earthquakes try to shake us to the reality.
That we're greedy stewards-the earths final plague.

The natives say we came from the stars.
That we're star people..
The night sky is our path to a distant shimmer.
It's time to gather up our spirits and buckskins.
Climb aboard a speed of light time ship..
and glide across the cold black river....
