Live life large
Sample every flavor
Pause before it’s gone
Which ones did you savor
Neither life nor you were perfect
Admit it was so ~ for your own self-respect
When things seem too clean, too good to be true.
Or advertised as free.
There's probably a con man waiting in the wings.
Things can get soiled in a city heartbeat.
Never take a free sample at Dahmer's deli
or hitch a ride from a clean-looking stranger.
You may end up on Bundy's back roads.
You may not make it home in time for dinner.
Just remember nothing is for free.
If God had to write a poem
Being the best divine writer
Ever
This poem
Would have been very simple
No words
No swords
Writing on the parchment
No, this is not a sample
Of his mysterious accoutrement
Just blank pages
For the ages.

Not like this
it's like never before
it seems impossible
something we can't ignore
it's a something Spectacular
it's beyond incredible
it's sourta unreal
thought I'd let you know
Come to you
for you
catered especially for you
with you in mind
all interested
might find it interesting
ya'll get together
and let's do this thing
we can't cope
and aint no hope
unless
we are the best
forget all the rest
we the best
and everything else
is a strummers fiddle
**Once again, I have taken lines from previous poems and have fused them into a brand-new poem. The words in bold are either in addition to my original line or a minor change to make the line fit.
Leave me from the stress.
I just don't understand.
So I shop in search of me
Because you have had your turn for an hour
But maybe I might actually be
wondering when the pain is going to stop.
Feelings of chaos not splendor,
bend and break our souls!
Go ahead and speak up and speak out
that is just my luck
I promise my weakness and your strength will blend
It pays to dance through the moments
When a thought festers and brews
And scream aloud the pain.
Be the voice for the weak
In this journey of life
Sometimes we take action
to be the helping hand someone needs
In the identity store you know.
What's this I hear?
The heat of the flame got turned up bright.
IF the church is a hospital,
I would find a guide indeed.
Possessed a Sample More Than Ample
possessed a sample
discovered more than ample
that trump did trample

Ample Sample of an Example
In my mind, thoughts made are ample,
Amount we did determine to be sample;
When measured,
Was treasured,
Of what had become an exact example.

Sift sight
Bloom bright
Apt ask
True task

Glimpse gift
Each end
Breeds blend

Feel more
From deep store
Work zest
In full jest
Juice joy
From word ploys
Squeeze fit
In word wit
In time
All things rhyme
Be blind
Harsh blame binds
Cause sweeps
From soul deep
Frame tact
With good act
Gain poise
In crisp choice

One thing leads to another, then to sex
To be perfectly honest, it's what us guys expect
To sample her biscuit
Maneuvering his digits
No crevice unturned, a trembling I detect
Seize zest
Write your best
Live fest
Love knows
Watch deep flow
Joy shows
Dance deep
Wake from sleep
Watch heaps
Seek more
From deep core
New shores
Mull fate
Fill your plate
Mark date
Now dare
Live full fare
Purge cares
Sign now
Know just how
To bow
Change grips
Drink fine sip
Fond trip
Faith hopes
Learn the ropes
Love scopes
Sculpt start
Words script art
Heed heart
Sure sketch
Draw deep etch
Just stretch
End game
Just the same

Sin Sample Trample
God will set and perform a perfect example,
Food eatable and always more than ample;
We never do wretch;
Imaginitation stretch;
Thankfully our sins He continued to trample.
Jim Horn
Ample Example of A Sample
What I always will need is an ample,
Amount of things being exact example,
Being part,
From the start,
That shall suffice as sufficient sample.
Jim Horn
A sample of beauty, inviting and hot.
I suddenly saw and admiration I got.
Each country has its own pearls.
How can I not look at Chinese girls?
From the height in the mountains I saw a flower
It's beauty amazes with refinement and power
Is inaccessible to me a fairy valley
But the aesthetic picture will calm me finale
Escaping from boredom and frustration,
you partake in adventures within dreams.
For there, without going on vacation,
one can climb tall mountains and fish fast streams.
Magic exists in the kingdom of sleep,
an imaginary place of your own.
For when active conscious minds fall asleep,
thoughts start drifting into The Twilight Zone.
You can go anywhere you'd like to go
and do anything that you'd like to do.
Yet, where your dreams lead you, you'll never know,
for fantasies are as unique as you.
Nothing feels as intimate as your dreams,
where you sample life's highs, lows, and extremes.
