Sorry, I guess we will just stop then.
I am just not good at commenting on other people's poetry.

This poem makes
sudden stops
keep a safe distance

if rambling erratically
call 1-800-badpoem
to report

uses poetic license
registered in
state of confusion

When at wits end
do yourself a favor,
pick a dish you desire
elect sinful behavior,
if it's against doctors orders
just ask for a waiver,
you've only one life
so let it be savored.

I may be black I may be white, whatever I am is just my plight I could change my spots, just maybe I might But pigment is permanent, as black and white Can't wish it away, wish I may wish I might The choice in the matter, just a roll of the dice A bias can grow but to be precise it's never as simple...

HELPING

A simple act of kindness
can never go away

It will be remembered
forever and always

For what is done for anyone
who needs a little help

Will stay with the one befriended
while enriching your own self.

WAGER NO WOUNDS When told of her son's untimely demise his mother gave these words so motherly wise Courage was one thing my Jim never lacked "I'll wager no wounds were found in his back" Not one to back off or run from a fight my Jim always fought for what he thought right He would have never retre...

LAP CATS

No better time
is there, alas
than when your lap
holds purring cats

And add to that
this certain fact,
no heart is cold
when warmed
by cats!

Passing Train

A horn
that blew
whoo whoo
was blamed

We were
queued
and thus
detained

All things
will pass
the old
refrain

It too
explains
this passing
train.

IF

If we lead our lives
with only IFS,
if we'd done that
if we'd done this

What nagging questions
will persist,
what happiness
we surely miss

One chance in life
is all we get,
we must dare more
less we regret

The truth in life
is only this,
we must do more
than only IFS.

Dear Miss
we guess,
if you
insist,
as per
request,
we'll call
you Mist.

As a man I must confess
I am mostly with sex obsessed-
a common trait most men possess
is addressing gals speaking to their breasts!

BY ACCIDENT This morning, 4:54am (I get up early because sleeping is like an engine on idle, and I hate to be idle) I was getting dressed and somehow pressed (by accident) the button on my car remote that had buried itself deep within my pants pocket and as if in a bad dream I heard the scream of th...

TODAY

Today is the most important thing.
It's perfect when it arrives.
It willingly places itself into our hands.
It hopes we've learned something from yesterday.
It must be carefully spent until it fades into tomorrow.
