I Can'T Write a Poem

Forget it.
You must be kidding.
I don’t know how.
It’s too hot my brain is melting.
My brother got all the creativity.
It’s too loud in here.
I can’t think.
The lights are too bright, there’s a glare on my paper.
The lights are too dim, I can’t see the paper.
My mind keeps wandering to my date tonight.
Time’s up? Uh Oh!
All I have is a dumb list of excuses.
You like it?  Really?  No kidding.
Thanks a lot.  Would you like to see another one?

Teenage Struggles

Listen to me
As I tell you what you don’t see,
The teenage struggles of today.
I tell you what I say
Is true.
Teenagers do struggle through
Life as we know it.
So why don’t you sit
And listen to the truth of
How teens struggle in love
Looking for the one to call my dove.
How they struggle through school
Just trying to be cool,
To make the grade,
So the knowledge won’t fade.
We struggle with the bully
And popularity.
We struggle to find who we are,
Searching low and far.
I hope this helps you to see
What it’s like to be
A teen whose troubles are unseen.

Loved, happy
Smiling, laughing, playing

Character and Reputation

Character is by far
An important part of who we are.
More important than
Your reputation can
Ever be.
But you see,
Some others would say I'm wrong,
And say that my song
Is a heap of lies,
But I'll always ignore their cries,
And stand by my words
As I soar with the birds.
So work not on your
Reputation but your character,
Reputation is others' thoughts of you,
But you should always be true
To the character that defines
The deepest confines
Of your being,
Giving your life meaning.

Color My World White

White
Snow, so beautiful and pure,
Clouds, fluffy and soft,
A candle burning in the night.
A newborn baby, crying his way into the world,
The final breath of an old man, as he passes into Summerland,
The calming sound of the ocean, as it breaks on the shore.
Vanilla ice cream, plain and simple, and yet so sweet,
100 year old wine, old and rich,
Delicious white chocolate melting in my mouth.
A swim in the pool, cold and exhilarating,
A relaxing vacation, surfing in the Bahamas,
That sense of being, after an hour of meditation.
White will clear your heart and soul and make you pure.

She makes me happy

My Baby Girl

My baby girl,
When you curl
Up in bed
And lay your sweet head
On your pillow,
My face will glow.
You fill my life with light
And I know your future is bright
But I don’t want you to grow
Up, but I know
That one day you will,
But you’ll still
Be my little girl.
When you curl
Up with me
I can see
One day you’ll get a poem
From a boy you’ll bring home.
We’ll have a talk man to man,
He’ll say he’s your biggest fan
But he doesn’t know a fathers love,
My cute little dove.
I love you
But you love the new
Man you found.
There’s enough love to go around,
However.
He may love you forever,
But if he leaves you behind
You will always find
That I am here.
If you ever shed a tear,
I’ll be here to hold you,
And I promise I’ll do
Whatever I can to make things right.
You are the light
Of my life
Usually so full of strife.
Stick with me
And you’ll see
That so long as my love for you is true.
Nothing can harm you
I’ll protect you always
For the rest of your days.


This poem is about what i would like to be my future. I got the inspiration from a song
called cleaning this gun about a father who threatens his daughters bf with a gun to make
sure she doesn't get hurt.  some people mistake this poem for a poem about love for a wife
but it's not.  It's actually a poem about a fathers love for his little new-born baby
girl.  I hope you enjoy it.

The Most Beautiful Girl Ever

She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen.
As I sat there, pen hovering above the parchment 
She was all I could think about.
Her complexion brought to mind olive shale.
She wore a dress,
It was the most wonderful shade of blue, india ink.
With eyes like big blue opals 
And hair an amazing shade of brown
That one could only call brass tack.
She was beautiful as a jade.
She is my wife.
She was, and is, my Lyndhurst jade.

The Hierarchy of Love

Sit down and listen
As i hasten
To explain
What no car, jet, or plane
Can take you from.
So why don't you come
And listen to my explanation of.
The hierarchy of love.
First and foremost
Is the post
Of Queen and King.
Now listen as i sing
A song of love,
That glorious thing from above
That brings a couple together,
Completing them, now and forever
However that's not the end of
The hierarchy of love.
You see,
Next would come the royal family.
For the marriage of queen and king
Serves to bring
Two families together
Now and forever.
But wait there's more
Because if not for
The good friend
Who brings an end
To the single life of
The one looking for love.
So thank you bishops, ladies, and dukes
For this fluke
Of nature that is love,
That unites us together, my dove.
