Best Lawn Poems

The thick numerous shoots of grass have come out,
no more snow shovels til late autumn comes about.
I hear the robins chirp as they tend their nests,
wait....the sound of a cranky lawn mower chugging
to life from its winter's rest!
Quickly, dear, go out and mow before everyone...

Poor old Mr. Perry,
Became a lowly pawn;
His ugly neighbor's dog,
Kept poopin' on his lawn

Big ol' piles of logs,
Standing inches high;
An odor so vile and funky,
You'd swear you're gonna die!

Retrieving the morning paper,
Would make him gag and yield;
Dodging mounds of doo,
Was like a wicked mine field!

"Keep...

The voluntary gardeners
Placed signs along the fence
Announcing that they’d given up,
Despite their best intents.

“We can’t maintain this lawn because,
Though signage says No Pets,
The owners let their dogs run wild,
Displaying no regrets.”

Perhaps these words have hit the mark
As those in charge have dealt
A reprimand that’s harsh...

Wild grasses of my springtime heart unmown,
unruly, unrestrained, in silence grew.
Youth’s fierce infatuation madly blew
its untamed gales where tall, green blades had grown.
Fair birds of transient love have long since flown –
that tale’s dark thread unraveled. Segue to
the stunning, breathless moment I met you
and found...

I'm floating right below the water
And you are trimming my feet and my head
So it'd be easier for me to collapse
Like you'd mow the lawn every week

I was 5 and in your bed and mostly scared
They'd been trimming my arms and my voice
As I was...

A flamingo on the lawn? Oh, yes!
With its s-shaped head so pretty.
Make fun if you think you must.
Fill yourself with giggles
At your house, not mine.
Flamingoes have
Feelings too
Pinkish
Ones...

I’m mowing the lawn free and clear
Don’t have no pants on
Because it’s hot out here.
Neighbors always said I was insane
Always called me out of my name
“Well to hell with them!” is what I say.
I’m mowing the lawn free and clear today.
People always lookin’ down on...

Always check for glass
Before walking through the grass
For feet should be bare...

and hedgehog balls;
striking flamingos; painted-rose

I live next door to angels
One day they fluttered in
But not just any angels
These ones play and drink and sin
 
Not sure they know they're angels
Since one day it came to pass
I heard some cursing angels
Whilst they tried to mow their grass
 
Quite impressive when...

Shoes on the lawn
every single one
a reminder
of someone
no longer there
cause no one would dare
speak out or decry
yet tears haven't run dry
so there they are
a colorful panorama
it's not frivolous drama
this is real
Feel...
Each pair's a silent scream
of a parent's shattered dream

empty places
grief stricken faces
empty seats
No after school...

Fairies dance with great romance
and display upon the lawn.
As they prance, don't give a glance	
at what they may spawn.

As they play and swirl and sway,
they create a magic spell.
It's their way to make us gay;
they do it so well.

Come in sight at darkest night,
while reveling...

Modern landscaping amuses me no end
in mansions and cottages round the bend.

To folks who seem aesthetically cultured,
a well-mown lawn is still ill-manicured,

unless there are potteries strewn around,
cracked, skewed, partly sunken in the ground.

But pots breed bad skitters that fill your artery
with dengue through this silly...

dandelions on my lawn
I love watching fluffy puffs
fly away...

One morning I was admiring our yard’s splendid beauty.
My kind spouse did the majority of the weeding duty.
The immaculate flower beds were bursting with color.
The dahlias, geraniums, and peonies welcomed the summer.

I decided to do some weeding before the heat came around,
And I was on...
