Alas, all this pile, has not got much sense,
Ha’pence for all the lot;
Had but a clue I been taught,
I’d not compose utter rot.

Gold Pile

There once was a joy to behold,
A glorious pile of gold,
But the riches were cursed
Making folks do their worst
So their gold pile would grow by twofold.

Pile of Carpet

There once was a man from San Marcos
Came home to a strange pile of carpet
Didn’t know what it was,
Scratched a chin full of fuzz,
And said, “P’raps I’ll take it to market”

                                   Pile of dried branches

Premium Member Leaf Pile

Whispers of the night wind
                               Crackle the fallen leafs
                          I awake from my dreams of you
                        In the morning I burn the leaf pile

Premium Member Junk Pile Prompts Babel

For all I know, I know nothing
Who can say when enough is sufficing.

No way to verify what searches reap
To winnow out truths from junk pile heap.

Garbage tower to heaven meant
Like babel feeds bewilderment.

Premium Member a pile here a pile there

a pile here, a pile there
flows down our hallway and up our stairs
wafting about is Buddy’s hair
it’s in my nose, it’s in the air
pretty soon my dog will be all bare
while his huge fur balls chase me here and there

A PILE OF WORDS


They just fell onto the page
as I leaned over the desk
pouring from my addled brain
tumbling in meaningless streams
rebuffed by the virgin whiteness
brushed aside by a tormented muse.

Premium Member Full Belly In the Brush Pile

A full-bellied stray has been surveying the brush pile
I think she's carved out a stick hut for her litter
She'll have a ball of responsibilities very soon
Her life will thicken like storm clouds in winter
the bonfire can wait another season, or two.

Premium Member Babs Leaf Pile

Babs the bear collected colorful leaves that fell like tears
Her breath gave them a sheen, and kept them fresh for years
She had a pile of them in reds, blues, yellows, greens, and yellows.
Strategically placing them in her cave; she played with the little fellows.

Dishes Pile Up Once More

I sort bubbling dishes in proper place
I drown absorbed sink with soapy water and towering dishes 
They pile up-- what's the point of doing them?

I place a towel next to the filthy sink
I drown dishes and try my hardest to dry them without a drop
But what good would it do-- dishes pile up!

Premium Member The Pile He Ate

birds fall hunger-wise...
before
cold winters shortages...

today a woodpecker ate...
such an
overfill it had to lay on the...

feeder for ten minutes till...
its throat
cleared so that it could fly...

it was such a 'pile he ate' that...
it's
called a 'pileated' woodpecker...

Premium Member Words Pile Up

Words
pile up
and hasten my demise
into subconscious realms
of translucid reality
and all the while
it just gets too difficult
for me to comprehend
as I listen to complaints
from the weak and wretched
as they discuss their peeves
and I not really caring
not really wanting to hear
and being too cowardly
to just walk away

Premium Member Ratty cat

Ratty cat, ratty cat,
old and alone,
sitting on a wood pile,
making it his own..
Ratty cat, ratty cat,
listening and wondering.
Why has the sky grown dark?
Could that be thundering?
Ratty cat, ratty cat,
here comes the rain..
Fur now soaking wet thru an
orange matted mane..
Ratty cat, ratty cat,
drenched as can be.
Are you waiting there for
a free meal from me?

Pile of Papers

The words pass from my lips
Scrambled and jumbled 
From my pen tips 
Reflections 
About my present affections 
Or a deep emotion
Like a potion 
Tantalizing my sentiment 
How it wears on me 
Like a tenement 
Knocking down my weak walls 
Forcing me to fall 
Into the depths of blunt insensible fog
The only hopes of clearing my mind 
Is defined 
By removing my madness 
In an eternal sleep 
In this heap

Chief Linked With Thief

The poor man is still in grief;
He was being linked with a thief!
A real big blow to A Chief…

Thrice he’d tried a spiced-up beef 
But the glad bites turned out brief;
“Spreading wide is wrong belief;
To that beef holds no relief.”

He’d be leaving for some reef,
There to not be reaching beef:
Agreed place of his exile;
To stay there not for a while…

No one wants again his guile…
His case files: Stacked-high pile.

Pappy's Pile Pretty Papers

Pretty papers piled perfectly perpendicular 
Pappy’s preference prefers papers piled properly
Patricia Pappy’s precious princess plunders pile
Pappy painfully piles papers properly precise
Precious princess packs precise papers perfectly
Pappy pondering protecting pretty piled papers  
 Purposely purchases proper padlock protection
Pouting Precious Princess Patricia picks padlock
Pappy paddles Pouting Precious Princess Patricia

Premium Member Rise From Pile of Pain-Or

Tender heart of yours when in storm it breaks
Shower of melting cloud drenches sad eyes
Under trying test promise of trust wrecks
Flower called ardor drowns in tears … love dies
Splendor of grand times splinters in faint flakes 
Hour of reckoning calls from dust to rise
Console the soul … lift from the pile of pain
Stroll at new dawn on garden path again.

Premium Member An Ugly Pile of Wet Animals

A child was killed at this intersection on Tuesday.
A cross is on the spot before nightfall.
By noon Wednesday stuffed animals have arrived.
And dozens of cheap plastic flowers from dollar stores.
They are making an ugly pile around the cross
Which now has a giant photograph of the
Eight-year-old child who was killed here on Tuesday
It rained all day Thursday and Friday.
Making the site even sadder.
Which I did not realize was possible.

Cold tears

Being sad
Isn't bad

It's okay to cry
Once in a while
You just feel like you have to sigh
All your problems just pile

Depression is like recession

You can't keep filling up a jar
Not expecting it to overflow
It can only hold so much
When you have to stop you'll know

When the water passes the rim
All your emotions will come out
You can't stop that on a whim
But youu can control if you pout

Don't be afraid of crying
No one wants you lying

Premium Member Time to Pile Ourselves into a Stone Wall

It is time for us to embrace our differences, enjoy each other’s cultures
A time to rejoice in the diversity God gave each of us to admire and revere
We need to gather together, teach each other our mantras and our songs
Tell our folk stories, our relative stories, our experience stories.
To pile ourselves into a stone wall, not to keep people out
But as an invitation to others to bring us into their light;
To share their stones and stories, unity is love and love is unity.

Pile File

Work was there,
All lined up and piling,
I saw the pile,
And simply began to file,
Thought would do it later,
Though full was my platter,
Tomorrow came and more was loaded,
My courage now gave up,
As I nibbled a little work at around sup,
Next day more was there,
And I lost scruples and turned hay wire,
Now I could not even sort the pile,
Not to talk about getting it out,
The moment I looked at it,
My stomach turned and rose the bile,
I rued the day,
When I had begun to file.
