Short Pothole Poems

The shovels scraping
Filling big pothole in street
My four brand new tires...

Pothole on highway
Knocked my front end out of line
Should the city pay?

Honolulu's Pothole State Park
Is a scary place after dark
With potholes so deep
Anything could creep
From octopus to Great White Shark!...

In France they don’t call it a pothole
Instead they call it a hen’s nest
It sounds much nicer doesn’t it?
But for drivers, they’re still a pest...

from too much stress
on an old country road:

simply will not stay put:

Its Raining…

God’s Cleansing Tool
Cloud-Concerto… How Cool !
Plop-Plop Plopping into Pothole Pools
On the Grass, Pavements and On My Own-Sweet- Fools…

who, don’t have Sense enough, to get out of the Rain…
… I think I’ll go Join Them… Again

                               Amen...

The pothole on the road
under the lamppost
 filled with nonstop downpour. 
Also, some water spread thoroughfare.
In the evening as the lights turned on
the hole produced
lamp’s beautiful reflection!
The sporadic rain droplets
heightened the scope
by forming startling images of a kaleidoscope....

Short legged lies 
walk through roads 
with many potholes,
trying no to fall down,
without closing their eyes.

Always walking slow,
hiding themselves,
scared of being released,
pretending not to exist.

Short legged lies,
don't reach further
when the road 
becomes harder.

Finally, short legged lies,
put the hoof 
into a big pothole
named: "the truth"...

Every winter, all the roads
Are pocked and filled with holes.
So what’s the money used for
That we pay for all the tolls?

You’d think when they’d repair them,
They’d use something that would last
Instead of bargain pothole-fill,
Which breaks apart real fast.

When driving in the city
In the winter, my advice:
Beware of ruptures in the road,
More dangerous than ice!...

Polished flesh
Mischief soul
Innocent heart
Unhealed hole

Deluded love
Cackling rejoice 
Left rambling
pain to thole

Betrayed trust
Torn feathers
of promises
Blooded pothole

Cosy cuddles
Eyes of care
Decaying traces
yearn parole

Melting eyes
Silent echoes
Sole loneliness
to console

Midnight days
Hollow nights
Obscure tunnel
Endless stroll...

You know you have a soul
      when you feel whole.
          Your always in control because
      your always on patrol.
          You always have a goal
      that's part of the role.
          Your never in a hole because 
      your always on a roll.
          You never step in a pothole
      or run into a pole.
          You know you have a soul
      when you feel whole....

Oh gaping chasm of misfortune
A sign of council extortion?
Roads not fit for purpose
Driving makes us nervous
Neglect of civil responsibility
The cause of such hostility
Oh pot hole why so terrible
Our roads are just unbearable
What future for these holes?
Maybe roadside fishbowls?
My rage is like a rabid wolverine
I shall write today to the queen 
Dear Queen Camilla Parker Bowls
Please send folks to mend our holes...

 O' weary a traveler am I, reign
 Grudge bugging Li catapulting again 
Meteor hritik traveling zrrr insane 
Absurd Milky Way pothole vrrr mundane
Luteroberg mosiktoe growl zrrr complain
Impaired space flights gravitate love vlane
 Galactic room slate mates deranged vrr plains 
Visits vor vat gobbles on try Titian v o b o g o i z e d disbane
Verver vis v o g o n i z e d rain
