Short Last Place Poems

I walk down this street
Away from the hospital;
Last place where we meet.
None of us held true avail
Over how God would greet you....

There once was a contest for rhymes
So I entered a rhyme that was mine
I came in last place
And felt so disgraced
Being told the rhyme of mine was a crime...

HE MISSES THE PENALTY


Acts cool -
Looks fool

It's wide
Off side!

He moans
Then groans

Blues score
Fans roar
 
Last place
Sour face

Although there are some games to go,
the Phillies progress has been slow.
What’s going on here?

They are currently in last place.
It’s not like them to move this pace.
There’s reason to fear.

I dread seeing this child on my watch.
He is belligerent and mean.
He yells at me.
He is totally disrespectful.
He yells in my face “send me to the principal!”
Obviously that is the last place I would send him now....

I'm here at the last place I spent time with you
You are on my mind a lot

My tattoo reminds me of you
All the time

I can't go to the bench we sat on
It makes me sad

I see the children play...
Reminds me of you too.

Miss you...

i sat at our spot today
the last place i seen your face
you can still see your butt prints on the bench 
the last place I kissed your lips 
no matter how far away you are
i just want you to know 
i love your soul and watching you grow...

I would rather come in last
For it would gave another the win
I have placed my ego behind me
For I do not need to win

Winning to me is just to see
Your comment to me
That is a win
I would rather be last then

Not have your comment within...

Listen to poem:

The Last Place of Solitude 
David J Walker

And when I find the right place
In the forest

I will sit and rest 
Allowing it to grow
Around me 

	And then

To let it grow 
In me

Until I become 
One

With the last place
Of solitude...

In your spectacles, 
Should I try them on. 

I see more than I 
Want, what I need
Is your labido. 

Caressing my 
Insides are you 
Family Man. 

And worshipping
Something unobtainable
Is my consolation prize. 

Yet, I always end up
Taking last place....

Edna gave advice to the love lost and lovelorn on the radio.
Her show was popular, but it would be the last place I would go.
Her breakups were many, her sour dour ways were no better.
I was thinking of sending this silly station an anonymous letter....

My rhyme
‘Sublime’

Low ‘win’
A sin

Last place
Sour face

I moan
And groan

Me thinks
Judge stinks

Bad judge…
Holds grudge

First place…
Disgrace!

Detests
Contests!

I feel the spiders touch of silken shirt on skin
Hear the hidden thoughts in words unspoke
I see beyond these eyes
And smell the past, present and foreword
as it lies prone at my feet
just the taste of me
Don't play 
never lose
Laughing from last place...

I have raggedy
shoes with a long tongue yet my
shoes don't speak none their 
~
silent souls searching
for something to say this day
as the latchets tied
~
in the marathon
race came in last place to place
these shoes don't speak none...

It sucks to know I hold no value 
I'm just an after thought,what is
it I lack? Am I useless. Why am I 
worth nothing maybe I'm to damaged
to be your only, maybe my heart is
to cold to care loneliness is my only
companion I'm just that good guy 
finishing last again...

Silent tears 
running 
the race
where there are 
no winners
only 
last place.

A heart that's
fallen 
too far
from grace
with dreams that 
are lost and 
cannot be 
replaced.

A memory 
of you 
I choose to 
embrace
and that 
empty vase
on the
table

just
in case....

No one remembers
Second to last place
No one recalls
That name or that face

If you ask who came first
The crowd yells and cheers
If you ask who came last
The crowd boos and jeers

But the one standing next to him
Never gets called
There are no tomatoes
Just one huge brick wall...

The American way
The only way
The last place on earth
The Last Chance Saloon
The bee's knees
The Great Satan
The silver bullet
The last roundup
The life of the party
The enfant terrible
The golden girl
The ugly stepchild
The man in the moon
The Frankenstein monster
The great white hope
The end...

Moving On

we are human tuning forks
vibrating to our own frequencies
searching for the rhythm and the pulse
of the universe
the peace of mind
we're looking to find
the occasional perfect moment
to prove we're not blind
so I accept my flaws
and their probable cause
because in the last place to dream
there can be no laws...

I believe the last person I shall ever see,
  is you
    —and you, me

I believe the last person I will ever know,
  is you
   —and you, me

I believe the last person I shall ever love,
  is you
   —and you, me

I believe the last place I will ever go,
  is to you
   —and you, to me

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)...

I need not to waste no time
Your holding me up 
The time is mine 
I can't give up 

I need to get to the finish line
That line I must cross
I'm getting to far behind
But I must not stop 

I'm here, the line isn't so far 
The power I must not lack 
One more step and I win 
But something just pulled me back.


And I finished last...

Green grass.
Green glare.
Green eyes.
Green soul.
Green monster,
Green minded,
Green motives,
Chasing gold..
Gold life,
Gold status,
Gold future,
Gold goals.
Gold takes
last place
at a fast pace
to a new home..
Gold is nice
but think twice
about the price
before you're sold,
Because overtime
you will find
corroded green
come from your "Gold"....

The last place 

Rushing river runs by

One step beyond and the river takes my soul

One step beyond and the river takes my soul

All my heart swallowed by the water surrounding me

Tears weep like the running river 

Dragging my heart beneath the rocks beating me

One step beyond and the river takes my soul

One step beyond and the river takes my soul...

We’ve moved
my wife and I from home 
to the last place

we’ll ever live and she 
wants to know why 
I’m sitting around

not helping to unpack.
So I tell her the problem
which is her problem too

but she keeps unpacking.
I’m not at home, I tell her,
but I’m not here either.

Not to worry, I say.
I’ll let both of us in 
when we arrive.


Donal Mahoney...
