Zag Poems | Examples

Zig-zag

Zig-zag, zig-zag, what’s coming next?
Just corners, twists and bumps, 
No glimpse, no signposted clear path,
Just loads of holes and humps.

Day after day, just up and down
And twisting round and round,
No indication anywhere
Of where the end is found.

So much of life zig-zags around
Surprising frights and fears,
Uncertainties, anxieties,
And even desperate tears.

But stop! Just look! A bright new light,
With path so plain displayed.
And there’s a sign, a lovely sign, 
So clear, ‘This is the Way!’

Jesus there is always waiting.
Yes, he alone’s the Way,
Troubles he turns to singing,
Transforms the worst of days! 

Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.”  John 14:6.

- Haiku X 302 - zig zag -

                                      low constant rumble
                                 ignorant breath of the night -
                                       lightning formations

Alphabet Zig Zag

Again, I take my pen in hand.
Bring words to mind, so I can plan.
Compose a verse quite fresh and new!
Deciding on what style to do?
Each letter then I will suggest,
Flows quickly through the alphabet.
Great, this shall give me loads of choice,
Hoping you out there hear my voice.
In-case you don’t I’ll write it down
Just to ensure you will not frown.
Kindly yes, I considered that,
Let me decide the right format.
Making the meter rhyme I say
No other style for me today.
Organised with this choice, just made,
Presuming brings me accolade.
Questions although could still be asked,
Reviews received could me unmask.
Still, I shall understand if you,
Turn aside and do not review.
Undecided? you may have heard,
Value now from my written word
Will bring a Merry Christmas too,
Xeroxed this now sending through.
Yes, lastly, I will cheer and say,
Zip-a dee- doo dah- zip-a-dee ay!

Ocular Migraines

I see the wake 
of what I look at
objects casting ripples
through the sea 
of visual fields
like a boat or Nessy
cutting water
in zig zags
its trail allowing 
secrets, coloured 
kaleidoscope waves
rips and tears
peep holes no less
an honoured glimpse
into the mechanics
of reality, I hope
nobody up there
gets into trouble
for showing me
things they shouldn’t
how things are working
behind the scenes

Kelogb (6-7-6)

When those you do treat less 
Give no chance to be depressed 
Bow not in lovely mess!

Falling Leaves

Yellowish-red  leaves falling
Persuaded by the weather
Carried by the wind
Falling 
To the ground 
To the neighbourhood
To the lane
To the river
On my palms
Oh
What a beautiful zig-zag shape
What a dazzling colour of the sun
Is to be kept
Just as a memory 
Sad or happy
Is an experience in the life we lead 
A milestone of the journey on earth 
Moreover this special leaf 
Is a memory of
The happiest journey
With my sweetheart
On this foreign city

Zig Zag

The piglet is a baby pig
As far as it appears
The wiglet is a tiny wig
That fits on tiny ears
The ziglet is a little zig
But only when it veers.

Zig-Zag

Zig-Zag

Downtown or on the roadway
zig-zag searching
always for something..
Stopping at a coffeeshop 
reaching a place
seemingly removed..
An interruption in
a zig-zag map
with map forgotten..
The coffeeshop was not
a zig stop..or a zag
just momentary..a respite..
Might zig-zag dissolve
right here and now
 in this cup of coffee...?

Nearly Done - Zany Zig Zag Five Style

~Nearly Done~
(Zany Zig Zag Five style)







Day is nearly done 



                     
                 Light is almost gone



It's another day


                           Time again has flown



Now is time to rest
 

                                  Relax cause nights here


Time to stop and pray


                             Give thanks for today


God hears our prayers 


                           He gives us blessings


Forgives our sins



                            He is so loving


Day to be thankful


                          From dawn to nightime


Moon is peering thru


                              Time to dream and rhyme.

The Zig Zag World

The mad world of this generation,
it's hard to win 
not because it's bad
but how people behave,
and the way they think.
It's bad to be negative
to others whom you believe
that can try to change the world.
This world we are,
it needs unity and peace
because it's like a ball
which can rotate once to make us cry!
Please don't laugh
to those who strive to live
because today is them;
and tomorrow is someone else.
I say learn the world.

Zig-Zag

Reverse this polarity, my hormonal engine
Playing my body like a baby grand
Rough and rugged, Jerry Lee Lewis
Succumbs to Louis Armstrong in Platinum
Blues verses boogy woogy
An invariable blender, shaken not stirred
Keeping me up nights
Tapping my toes to the teardrops
