Tomboy Poems

Tomboy

Years before 13th birthday
Sun beckons me run play
In the street under golden ray
With neighborhood kids on hills of clay

Learning to ride bike and skate
Playing kickball run chase
Playing football basketball too
Dodge ball softball all in June

In Clanton Park we all are one
Hiking green woods under red sun
What to do on rainy days
Play with dolls do hair

Tomboy Girl

Her hands don't feel like satin, 
she's been working since she was a child.
Never was a pure white angel,
she was always a little wild.
She can fight like a man,
but loves like a woman.
Some people say she's a blessing, 
others say she was a bad omen.
Never was suited, 
for the debutante ball,
She liked the honky tonks

Tomboy

Skirt and blouse - rejecting tomboy
Is never the cringing coy:
Very early dumps every toy
And her milky but effeminate soy, 
Cheerily ever for the boyish,
Forswearing everything girlish…

A sex-change operation hopeful
And male-fun partaker in full:
Never the allergic to drinking contests
And exclusive-to-males protests:
Not when she has got her throaty bellow 
And could say A Pure Rebel’s Hello!

Cleary not

Tomboy

Sworn to secrecy, she told me it had been a long time..
as we sat swinging in a hammock in the late day sun.

'What., are you sayin' you never did it?'

I thought what my mom would do if she caught me, and replied
'brought up different I guess'.

She leaned back into the netting, perhaps chewing on what

Tomboy

my momma chased me around the house to comb my tattered hair
and that pink frilly dress she could never get me to wear ,
cut I'd rather be out with the boyz in the mud and muck 
crawling on my hands and knees to push my Tonka truck

Tommie

she was born with wings
hiking boots and inklings
urges to run out and explore
she just couldn’t ignore

Getting Tomboy Ready For Prom

Our tomboy caterpillar’s metamorphic tendencies
Preceded her in reputation and in wherewithal
Her human indoctrination was a metabolic oversight
Uncharacteristically uncalled for, and clearly filled us with wonder.

We stood by eagerly, awaiting instructions,
As a magnificent metamorphosis changed our
Muddy, earthy, plain, now tiara-featured princess
Into a teenage butterfly, ready for the prom.

All we have to do now is clean those

Sweet Darling Tomboy

Little darling
You’d be so sweet 
With your hair done up in pigtails
Dressed up in a pink frilly dress

Your tomboy ways have charm
They’ll get you far in life
Running in the park and
Challenging yourself
A doll hardly seeming like an option

You have the eyes of a leader
The drive of a champion
But please enjoy your youth
And most of all

The Tomboy

the tomboy
self conscious
in her bathing suit

Tomboy Colors True

Tomboy colors true
Seeks the hearts of the handsome
Pink clouds refine dark

Tomboy

I never met a better fella 
until I met Ella
Ella was finer than Esther
but stronger than Joshua.

She's gat crude swags
both in the way she sags.
Her mother who often nags
would burn masculine stuff from her bags.

Her handshakes are so loud
like a clap in the midst of silent crowd.
Her hair, always bound,
like ponytail and it makes her

Become Tomboy

Become Tomboy

Become Tomboy
Some people might annoy
And often showy.

Don't care what you say
Enjoy her anyway
Even come what may.

One more poem should write
About how you liked to fight
Sure was such a sight.

America's Most Famous Tomboy

You achieved fame and fortune during the Sixties.
You achieved it by starring in The Beverly Hillbillies.
For nearly ten years you entertained us as Elly May Clampett.
Now you're gone forever and it's something your fans regret.
When you became famous, it was what you deserved.
Men loved your beauty and they also loved your curves.
You died on New

The Tomboy

I was fascinated by frogs, dinosaurs, and outer space.
Comic books, video games, and fast cars to race.

I got my clean clothes dirty and skinned my knees.
I spent my afternoons climbing high up in the trees.

Came home from the playground with shoes full of sand.
Went fishing, and held up my catch with my bare hand.

I would

From Tomboy To Girl

As a youngster, I looked like a boy…there was nothing girly to be seen
I could run topless without comment until the age of about fifteen.
I could climb the highest tree, jump the highest fence
I even dislocated the shoulder of the man teaching me self defense…
I could run forever eating the wind - but was never
