Stick Poems - Poems about Stick

if you wake up with a stick

if you wake up with a stick in your bed you have a dog
if the stick is chewed into eighteen pieces you have a puppy
if there is no stick you either do not have a dog
or your husband has pica

Stick Shift

It is time to change the gear
you are causing a mountain of fear
people are running to and fro
looking for a safe place to go
the cars are climbing slowly up the hill
and there is a traffic jam and I hope
that you can understand.

Nothing is coming and nothing is going
the heat is raging and everyone is complaining
meet

Stick to the Facts, Mr President

    Russia invaded Ukraine three years ago
        Stick to the facts, President Trump

     If you don’t, Americans will abandon you
        And lower you into the garbage dump

Stick Figures in Front of Oldsmobile

Skinny kids
Wrinkled clothes
Crooked windows
Non-symmetrical
Snowman slightly off center
The “Olds”
Wrinkled fenders
A round-headed driver
A teetering toboggan
Hanging from its roof

The artists
Sipping hot cocoa

Rubbing ink calms the mind
so hairs may glide,

long lasting lines.

stick figures

(a poem in Haiku and Senryu)

Draw a stick figure
future - sadly diminished
and chaos ransomed.

Paint the landscape
with the sweltering glare
of global warming.

Add micro-plastic
and forever chemical
flavorings to taste.

Come share this
with me - let kisses heal and
soft whispers inflame.

Some locks need two keys
to open, some heavens can
be reached by mortals.

A song for this:
All Gone Away by The Style

carrot and stick

blood sweat and tears leave 
no stone unturned move heaven 
and earth pull your weight

go to great lengths make 
a supreme effort bust a 
gut and go all out

give it everything 
you’ve got burning desire 
step up to the plate

fire in the belly
spur on drive someone get the 
ball rolling take pains

take the bull by

The Life and Times of a Stick of Chewing Gum

My walking stick

Take away my blind walking stick, been stuck with it way too long, Pedals of love, unwraps  in my heart, I see light approaching swiftly inside my heart piercing through my eyes, thought miracles ended in the Bible, draw closer the world,  miracle embrace of beauty, a Sotho sanamarena, royalty blood now rears

A String, A Stick, A Stone

     a morsel of this
       a crumb of that
     a string, a stick, a stone
       
     a robin scours around
       the nearby ground ~
 

Walk softly Ode to my walking stick

Loyal companion carved from a sturdy oak.
This eternal gratitude will never be revoked.
You've been there for me more then
some human folk.
I think I may be in love with you and that is no joke.
Please stay by my side until the day I croak,
if perchance we come upon a very nasty bloke,
I will turn you upside

You Hope They Stick

When plans are made, you hope they stick,
That no one will be getting sick,
Because for every date you pick,
A better one is waiting.

The weather might be filled with rain
Or someone could be stuck with pain,
But if you’ve planned, at least you gain
No more anticipating.

There never is a perfect time
When factors - family, health and clime

Slap stick comedy Laurel and Hardy-dodo

whimpering sniveling pout
mopey face bo ohwe-ohwe whine
scratching his head mopey face
I was here with me

please stick to the story

Please stay on track Dad, the young mother said.
She wanted him to stick with the story others had read.
As soon as she was out of sight her twins pleaded with him.
Tell us the story of how they bashed and hanged Uncle Jim.

I heard that! Their mother said, now leave your grandpa alone.
So he got real

Stick Out Our Neck

Don’t forget
We have a neck
To stick out
From time to time

It’s an asset
Though not high tech
Yet it shows
We have a spine

We have to shout
Get the gist out
As a poet
Words are our way

There’s no doubt
We’ll find the clout
And show it
With what we say

To expose wrongs
Some write apt songs
To keep powers 
In check, and

Poets stay strong
Just as long
They’re
