Tucked Poems

Premium MemberTuckered and Tucked In-dodoitsu string

tuckered and tucked in with him
ebb and flow of pillow head
personalities have dreams
we walk on the sea

we see no sun, with eyes shut
lily pads and no frog legs
and the sky’s a blinding blue
our feet toss and turn

pebbles rise into the clouds
a curious sight, indeed
even in the darkest night
distressing whale song 

whistle salts breeze into face

Premium MemberTucked In- Covered Tight

summertime has passed
memories are left
of our lovely days
shared with family

special times held dear
grown grands in the pool
great granddaughters too
memories to last

yes, those days flew by
all too soon it came
close the pool- to sleep
tucked in, covered tight

and await next year
when in early June
twill embrace once more
loved ones in my life

Premium MemberTucked Away

Every morning when I wake
The first thing that I'll do
Is look out of my window 
And search the sky for you

I'll do it every day I live 
In hopes someday I'll see
My precious little Bluebird
Coming home to me

Way out there from a distance 
You'll see my arms stretched wide
To welcome and to catch you
To bring

EVERY TUNIC’S TUCKED

squeamish that every tunic’s tucked
on one side, lopsided, uncouth
on the page, in the book - why is
every model told to tuck her hand
inside her pocket, jam her socket
into her pants, plunge me into distress.
If they want us to buy online, can’t
we size it up ourselves. I laugh
like crazy…going crazy…the lazy
love to push buttons

Premium MemberTucked Up In Our Little Corner

We’ve always done for each other what we thought was good and right. 
Tucked up in our little corner under the rainy mist of our street light. 
Tucked up in our little life where we know that we only have each other when the world chooses us with which to fight.

We found love and peace

Across uneven terrain
  tightrope-walking
narrow mountain passes
  dodging sniper fire

He carries her picture
  tucked into his heart
From that wrinkled photo
  his thoughts ne'er depart

Tucked Away

Lately, my love, you’ve folded me neatly 
into a corner of your consciousness
 
Tucked away

From the prying eyes of acquaintances 
whose tongues stick to the backs of their teeth

Tucked away

As the gift you give me is faceless soundlessness
Because we know that ours is a love best

Tucked away

As you get
when you lay between the hills of

Premium MemberTucked Away In a Forest

Tucked away in a forest, where treetops did sway
Lived a family pondering why they felt this way,
A miracle was to happen, which was certain to heal,
And their faith to God, was a joy to reveal.

The forest was giving, they lived off the land,	,
Each member of the family, lending a hand
Dad a carpenter, crafted a variety

Premium MemberTucked In

Before he was born…before his life in this world would begin…inside his mommy’s tummy…he felt safe…secure…tucked in.

When he was just a baby…before his memory in this world would begin…his mom was there to say good night…and safely tuck him in.

When he was just a lad…growing…still small and pale and thin…he remembers all those nights when

Premium MemberAll Safe Tucked In and Warm

It came upon a blizzard day 
with gloriest rays of old 
she stole the Babe  
that blessed night, 
and wisked Him home away 

A pooring girl so sad and torn  
she saw  Him shivering cold 
and from the church she ran   
towards her dwelling place 
to wrap Him in her

Sonnet 53 'Me Mother Tucked Me In, When I Was Small'

Me Mother tucked me in, when I was small,
And made the nighttime monsters run away,
And kissed my cheek, still, when I’d grown up tall,
And broke me down when I had gone astray.
She gave her love through music, art and books
And loved Truth, only, more than us, I think!
She taught us to be humble, by her

Premium MemberI Keep Her Safely Tucked Away

Childhood truth is tucked away good and hard
Hurting no one but me,
I dare not take her out even for a brief peek
for to look at her would make her real again.
Give her even more power
Which I dare not do
for I have so little left now....

I know not what else she could take from me
She has
