Best Boxing Day Poems


Premium Member BOXING DAY BLUES a hiku sonnet
shorts,white socks
sandals and panama-
winter-white legs

no wind,blue skies
dozing in a deckchair-
my afternoon tea stews

hottest day of summer
flying ants on high-
a swallows' drive by

summer-days ever-lasting
memories so tender-tasting...

Boxing Day
Christmas day now over,
The turkeys now all dead.
While the bloated celebrators
Sleep their gorging off in bed.

No matter what it cost them.
(Though it cost the turkeys more),
They’d enjoyed the Christmas spirit
They’d invited through their door.

With plastic in their wallets
To finance their spending spree,
They ensured that all...

Boxing Day
Boxing Day

Christmas over,
Boxing day,
Snow replaced by rain,
Turkey eaten,
Presents opened,
Bones and wrapping remain.

Silent carols,
Muted bells,
The candles all burned out,
Bottle tops,
Nutshells
And gift tags lay round about.

Glittered cards,
Ribbons and bows,
Tinsel, baubles and more,
Unwanted gifts,
Stale perfume,
All strewn across the floor.

The tree bare,
Bulbs blown,
Forgotten cracker jokes,
Empty bottles,
Hangovers
Santa just some bloke.

Party...

EIGHT


A deliberate surprise 
A shove from the back
while creating artwork 
in my second-grade class
Perhaps an ocean scene
A distant angry memory
of my eight-year-old 
consciousness


The broken waxy blue crayon
in my right hand
Before me the ripped orange 
construction paper and 
a scattered image


Girl bully momentarily
reigned behind me
her face...

Premium Member It's the Thought That Counts
My abiding memory of 2015 is of events that are so sad
With my father’s death, it’s the worst year I’ve ever had

It has been the most challenging year for me
But with amazing support I remain pretty happy

I don’t want to dwell on events that have...

Sales - Day After Christmas Contest
Awoke with a feeling of deflation
The razzamatazz is over pressie’s given
Then a thought arouses me with a smile
Whilst the men watch the sport on this boxing day
A few cans in reach
We females can hit the sales with parking queues for a mile

Like a rugby match...

Praise the Lord Dont --Hate--
Get him off get of me
Before Jesus give smack down
Let your fingers crumble and fall
Help distort there mind begin to separate
Please help me now

** A Very Memorable Christmas Present **

Someone made an err::
Boxing Day ‘ere’s 
Been the day of — not after.
What started as the greatest 
Christmas ever, turned 
Us from better to worse
As our tempers grew, altered 
After our fingers were slid into
Those gift-wrapped firm gloves of...

Cat-and-mouse
  Gloves held high
Can't see you
  Peek-a-boo

Gloves held high
  Block every punch
Can't get through
  Peek-a-boo

Drop your guard
  One split second
BAM POW SMASH
  A knock-out beckons

It's cat-and-mouse
  Move those feet
Then my jaw
  ~ Your fists greet...

An Athlete's Poem
It takes a lot of time to master such skill
There are lot of downtimes but I climb on my hill
There are days that my body is strained and about to give up
But I go back to self- determination and rise up

The passion to play runs...

Special Days
Written: by Tom Wright
4/13/2006

It seems that for almost everything
We’ve set aside a special day.
We recognize others for their work 
And sometimes for their play;

There’s a day set aside for Mothers
And likewise for Fathers too;
I’m sure that in this hodgepodge
There’s one that will cover you.

There’s...

A Fighter's Cry
Don't allow him to corner you, punch him hard on his face, kick him hard and make him cry, just one nice smack and the title is all yours. 


These are some of the expressions which I keep on shouting on the top of my...

Elegy 'N' Eulogy For Mohammed Ali Clay
A very famous champion,
 an inspiring enthusiastic man was he
Who has  now departed , yet is quoted, 
for many pearls of wisdom
Vociferous king , 
of the boxing ring
A sports star
And such a sport too.
A motivating peace star who shot up to deserved stardom
The earth be proud...
