Wayside Poems - Poems about Wayside

Like a bombshell it's killing you The day she said her love was through It's time for her to hit the road With bags in hand she's out the door You're left alone just like before So what will help to ease the load Nothing hurts like a broken heart The pain remains the day you start To dwell only on the past Each...

Who lies now by the wayside stricken, sick of body, sick of soul? His eyes are closed, his ears are deaf to the somber bells that toll. I knew this man now sadly stricken in happier days when blessed by wealth, famed for both his strength and valor, his soul and body in best health. He saved my kindred, then the...

I’ve often mentioned Hilly in the poems that I have written, and I’ve often said that Hilly with a brewer’s surely smitten, so you’re libel now to see him in the state that I call ‘blotto’ but today he can afford it because he recently won lotto. But Hilly’s really not that stupid that he wasted all on beer. He...

Over the years some were carefully carried tied up in tiny bundles held tight against the heart While the other more awkward ones were pulled behind in a cart like so many precious parcels taken along for the ride But a few fell and rolled astray off by the wayside along the way Some were missed right away with heartaches and tears While others were eventually missed after some years And some not noticed...

D-on't fall by the wayside, I-n spite of the rugged wind; A-im to reach your goal, N-ever let your ardor E-nd. F-all not by the wayside, L-et not your fervor fail; O-n the twenty-sixth of August, R-ow your boat and sail. E-ven though it's isn't easy to go against the tide; S-tay focused to emerge winner, don't fall...

The Wind to the Wayside There’s an old man sleeping on the bank of a river, and he’s flying his dreams in an indigo sky. If you listen so softly, there’s a chance you’ll remember his words of magic to the old and the wise. There’s a...

By this wayside Here on the verge See humble pride Floral calm merge I walk pass here Sense stillness clear Beauty dots near As silence steers Watch beauty grace Such common things Truth wears a face Feel peace now sing Green grassy patch Contours to match Joy waits to catch A profound batch Glimpse of odd cheer By wayside verge Nature speaks clear Watch joy emerge Leon Enriquez 14 January 2017 Singapore...

Near the garbage, I did see A sad, discarded Christmas tree Wrapped up in a plastic bag, A sight to make the spirits sag. With Christmas looming, it seems rash To toss a tree out with the trash. I wondered 'bout the reasons why That tree was ditched, with no goodbye. Perhaps it brought some bugs inside Or else the owner up and died. It's...

That wayside beatific nook, With a crimson seraphic look; Silhouetted against a dying sun, Like dying embers of a satiny run; Every twig lunging an officious bow, For a kiss of the pasture lain below; Hark, the trill of the melodious lark! Clung to the bevel of the bare bark; A raised horizon owing to an incumbent brow, Dwelled by the shades in...

Ocean gales and tidal shift Pounding Basalt and sandstone mountains Boulders Rocks tumble into pebbles Mighty trees Uproot and splinter in Neptune's fury Under my feet, Crumbled remains of life Ground to dust by the unrelenting ocean Walking barefoot on tiny shards of glass...

Remember third grade, When the raciest book the teacher read out loud Was Wayside School Stories? Maybe because my mom was all for wholesome stories, But hearing those books was a weird guilty pleasure. It was my first introduction to the bizarre: The Gothic novel of children's stories. Sometimes people disappeared into alternate dimensions, But more importantly, Bebe Gunn was having troubles with...
