Tinker Poems

To R

You have not seen what I have seen.

I have seen a girl
getting trampled with our spiteful words.
I have seen a girl
with her shields of soft nature
trying to cover all her peers
from getting blamed just like her.

It was her day, it was her show.

She was trying so hard
to keep everything like a gentle river's flow.
And we forgot how sweet, mild
and obedient she was so,
instead we kept nailing her
only with her mistakes.

But at the end of the day
when she took the stage,
she was a heavenly embodiment
of bright and sparkling light with laughter,
as if stars were laughing with her!

So restless and happy on that stage
just like the Tinker Bell,
it was a sight a thousand times
you can tell.

She was returning love and respect
to everyone, even the ones
who have hurt her with words
all day long....
most of the times uncalled for
and totally wrong.

That forgiving young girl on stage
forgetting all our vice....
showed me how to be a real loving,
forgiving human being....

and there was tears in my eyes.

Like Peter Pan and Tinker Bell Nursery Rhyme

Hand in hand two sprites on a magic flight      
with wings of crystal glass and fairy light 
they flew, inside an abstract sky of white  
wing to wing, one was nimble one was bright 

Wearing  taffet gowns of silky swishes 
they were often flourishing their wishes 
blessing all with benign hugs and squishes 
tiny pixies, no bigger than mom's dishes 

They were sent to baby rooms and wee ones 
they shone like light from fifty golden suns 
but every now and then they goofed all thumbs 
and landed in a cabbage patch, oh crumbs !

they flew like Peter Pan and Tinker Bell  
with magic wands to cast a spell, pell-mell
they scurried this way that and then oh well  
they crazed it up and then they cast a spell.

Tinker To Baltimore

Once came a smart tinker to Baltimore
He peddled his pots near a dry-goods store
He hawked them all in one day
For whatever folks would pay
Then hurriedly left and came back with more.

Tinker Toys

A Doll,
Broken, fragile, porceline 
Cracked and flaking 

A Jack in the Box,
Arms detached, missing eye
Still jumping to its song. 

Peices of me falling to the floor. 
A fragile toy sitting on its shelf. 

Eyes viewing flying by, no beauty in whats broken. 


Toy collector, Toy collection.
Thank you for seeing my worth.

Tinker Trinkets

Love to play with word
where the the therapist
becomes the rapist
love evolves love
me squared becomes a meme
Chagrined by a silent e
using silent phonetic letters
the gnome needs to know
without an a aplomb
remains the sane

I Want To Tinker With You

A tinker I will always be
If it wasn't for that
A tinker I would never be
I build this
And I build that
I tinker my life away

When I found you
I wanted to tinker you
But you said
Not today
I will let you tinker me
On Sunday
I will wait to tinker her on that day

I will bring my tool
That was made especially
For tinkering you
Sunday is here there is tinkering to do
Today we will tinker all day
On Monday I will sleep the day away

For my tinkering will be all done on Sunday

Tinker a Rich Man--A Poor Man

TINKER   A RICH MAN--A POOR MAN 

how you a rich man
and you got a mortgage due
shouldn’t you be through

what you want to give
and why is it’s hard to live
shouldn’t you be true

I am a poor man
and I can hardly stand here
make it on my own

you’re torn and bitter
sworn to deliver nothing 
must you pay taxes

difference tween a rich
man and a poor man is this
poor pay more taxes

and if the rich don’t
be very careful it’s hard 
getting in heaven

a rich man a poor
man whose more likely to give 
a hand downtrodden

Tinker

Here at the gate
Closure comes late


Be willing now
To live endow


Each man a fate
A certain date


Here for a while
Dare etch fond style


Day turns to night
Dare focus right


Be willing here
To love with cheer

Tinker

Words curl
Thoughts hurl


Mind games
Blunt blame


Odd think
Now links


Verge here
Sans cheer


Lift lot
Pry plot


Set free
Word spree


Verse chimes
New rhymes


Take heed
Lines seed


Tinker
Thinker

Tinker

Finesse knows well
To fashion tell


Thoughts in sure flow
Move what you know


Set your heart well
As mind casts spells


Look deeper still
To glimpse wise will


Tinker with lot
Spread ample plots


Play with fine feel
See how grace heals


Prize your sweet daze
Chance each new maze

Miss Tinker Bel Acrostic Italian Sonnet

Magically magical eyes,
Instigating skipped heart beats, while
Showcasing her own unique style,
Sparkle like the stars in the skies.
Truly, her beauty helps her rise
Instantly, carried by a smile,
Noticed from the furthest of miles,
Kept up on the highest of highs.
Exhuberant minds, hearts, and souls
Rise to the occassion, on wings
Built for angels with earthly goals.
Enchanting moments often bring
Levels of learned poetic roles,
Like the one that made my pen sing.

Shadows of Tinker Street

I watched 
As the long winter shadows 
Grew past the travelers on the green 
Touching the tinker street stores 

Like an actor in a play 
The evening light dimmed 
While the early night lights appeared 
One by one by one 
Lighting up 
All the stores on Tinker Street 

As I listened 
To the sound of music and drums 
Filter past the growing crowd 
The local Tinker Street musicians 
Gathered once again 
For another evening’s performance 

All these things painted a picture 
As I watched a mystical vision 
Of shadows and visitors and musicians 
And of course the townsfolk 
Swirl and mix into the Woodstock night 

It was flawless 
The perfect country street 
Magically remembering its roots 
And passing them on 
During a dreamy cool wintry night 
All to the delight 
Of Tinker Street

Tinker

A pint size spit fire that you are.
A wreckless goth chic with a permanent scare.
She fought all the girls and half the guys.
broke more than a nail and never cries.


A loveless girl so mad at love.
When ya ask for a hug she'll 
just give ya a shove.

At only seventeen  she's  a  way better 
drinker.
Most call her trouble .
But we just know her as tinker.

Loves poetry  in dishing out pain.
talks lot of trash. And hits like a train.
Just joinned the hells angels.
I think this girls insane.

After she hit me with that tire iron
im really not much of a thinker.
Hell knows no fury.
Like a seventeen year old spitfire 
called Tinker.      


Dedicated to the real life Tinker Id say your name 
But I like breathing to much.

Tinker With a Crowd

Have you ever
Tinkered with a crowd
You have to speak up loud
Ring a bell or
Toot your horn
Blow your whistle or
Beat your drum
Sing a song or
Just hang out
Enjoy your laughter or
Kick box your way out
To meet the unthinkable
Another great Sumo Wrestler,
In this crowd

Tinker Belle

A careful nonchalance she holds,
She dances on her twinkle toes.
Spin round faster, her hand she flicks...
No sleeve has she, but she has tricks.

Your eyes shall dart from here to there...
She acts as if she has not a care.
It seems she flies where the wind does blow,
In truth SHE tells IT where to go.

Lilies float about the pond,
They compliment her hair of blond.
She basks upon them all the time,
The sun all on her faces does shine.

Mystically she runs along,
In your heart she'll play a song.
What she has is not quite joy...
Look so sweet, seem so coy.
