Cool refreshing breeze
Books begin to pile up
As school begins and Summer ends
You realize

Pile up snow, yes, pile up deep,
pile up snow on hills real steep,
pile up snow, I want three feet,
pile up snow, fresh powder is sweet....

There is this clever poet named Jack
His limericks pile up by the stack 
I try to write one
To have a little fun
But his, a feast and mine just a snack...

The stones that are thrown to break my bones
Pile up to they start to weigh
And the sticks don't decay
Nor do the words that you say
That I thought would never hurt me...

thick blanket of fog
                                                       smothers visibility --
                                                            cars pile up...

Silence so deep you can almost hear the snow fall..
While velvet drifts pile up against the cabin wall..
And then the lonely wolf begins his mournful call..

Thinking about a close friend who died a long time ago:

The days pile up
And the seasons come and go,
The moons wax and wane,
Years continuously flow,
How long will I remember . . ....

Immigrant bodies pile up in Texas

After building a wall from ‘freedom’ glass

Green card for hard labour

Slave on dearest neighbour

Watch your companions expire en masse

Cover your back and don't be slack;
Don't buckle to stress and crack.
Procrastinate not and pile up the stack;
Have your goal and stay on its track.
And show some knack and ingenuity in the battle of the sexes....

Like the fine snow that falls,
Life continues to gently pile up.
Then one day it becomes a burden.
Like snow so pure and gentle
It becomes soiled, heavy and a job.
It takes more than these shoulders
To clear a path to sanity....

oh,how i love 
the colors of fall

from the trees
until they pile up to your knees

oh, the wonderful colors of fall....

Let your words pile up
like laundry on the floor;
don't sweep crumbs of thought onto a page
I won't read the letters anymore.

Don't calligraphy your love
hoping I will break;
peel the stamps off your envelopes,
Your letters I won't take....

Ticktock, the clock calculates time;
the seconds morph into minutes.
Then, the minutes converge as hours;
that accumulate into days,
till the weeks pile up into months.
Tethered to thoughts of forever;
time transcends the concept of years.

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!...

Under the sour light
of the summer moon, when the
asphalt maze exhales

heatness we come and
ensemble at Teufelsberg
just to pile up the 

broken and rusty 
pieces of our outcasted 
heart, hoping that if 

we exchange them like 
puzzles of the autumn we 
will able to build new ones....

We gibble-gobbled fast and furiously 
Like race cars that are about to pile up 
Three friends meeting at a restaurant
Where people are supposed to wear masks but aren’t.
All of us not waiting our turns, so eager to explain our positions.
As rude as lifelong friends can be without consequences....

Education starts at home
  Work kids' fingers to the bone
Pile up the chores after school
  Then on to homework
               --  That's the rule

No TV shows or quick little breaks
  Nose to the grindstone 'til it aches
If you want them to taste freedom
  Prepare kids to counter Red China's Kingdom...

Give me an Ace
pile up the deck
Give me a chess
Let’s save the King

Put on these games
Hope I play well
start, stop the time 
Not for too long

Light the fire right
Watch me burn bright
Like sparks at night 
When it’s light out 

Give me an Ace
Give me a heart 
Give me a pill
Hope it heals time...

Years pile up like shadows, long and still,
Etching the limits of dreams and will.
Youth, a spark, now smothered by grace,
But the soul's depth, no moment can erase.

In quiet lines, in silver threads,
A life at one time was lived and spread.
For age is not a closing page,
But a mirror that reflects an endless stage.

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...

O, father, tall as an emerald mountain,
Caring for the family, loving each one.
Scintilate like a star, you light up my world.
Sacrifying your nights and working hard on days,
You pile up heaps of paychecks for us live on.
O father, now, I have my gift for you...
My tears, streams winding their only way to your soul.


to my dad on FATHER DAY...

I am a collector of worthless things
How they pile up I have no inkling
I clean out my junk drawer at two o’clock
It is crammed full of extra things by two fifteen.

Do others have this problem?
What solution have you found?
Would it work for me?
Bear in mind I refuse to throw away anything
And a husband who stuffs all his extra stuff into drawers....
