How much is needed to fill this cup
Are doubts the memories all torn up
How high is the sky in your imagination
To the clouds existance or the sights destination
How deep are feelings that wound the heart
To the caring is love the biggest part
How far is gone when it comes to fate
Are our destinies our choice we make
How powerful are we when it comes to faith
Are we each being tested by problems we face
How close is perfection when it comes to a mate
Are we the choices someone else would make

In this particular scenario or case
The actual amount of Zeroes
You place or add on the end
Does not represent it's actual
Real value or true worth
Because the difference being is this
Although I may have only been able
To contribute $ 1 Dollar
It's a $ 1 Dollar I can barely afford
And may equate and come at the cost
Of me stealing a meal out my child's mouth
Far more than I can afford to give
Whereas your large contribution
Of $ 10 k plus Dollar's
To you isn't even pocket change
Whereas you on the other hand
Tomorrow will be front page news
Having your picture taken
Handing over that Cheque
I read over someone else's shoulder
Because I can't afford to buy the newspaper
Unless I can no longer afford
Actual Toilet paper itself

She has been waiting for amount
To her survival paramount
“From my base to the next bikes I mount!
I should, therefore, a whole lot count!”
But Bad Economy is a point,
Big money collecting at gun point:
An Extorting Police at check point,
Perpetually there, self would appoint,
Much like some Pastors self with anoint;
The Thing spending at every beer joint.
Spouse Coleman had this mentioned to her,
On bikes against Cold a coat of fur:
Britain’s Winter’s about eighty ponds
Russia’s Siberia’s a price that pounds…
“And so Life to Christ The Real Amount
One needs for one’s ascent of a mount!”

there is not a number for the amount of times i have thought of you just today
they double and they multiply by the second
my amount of love for you an endless cup
i wish you could drink from
if only i had the strength to tell you what you already know
to affirm your thoughts for they are just as complex, if not more than mine
to revel in the feeling of conversation and oneness
to look at you and see a reflection of myself
even if we don’t talk as we used to, you still know me the most.
i wish to keep it that way.
to know all your secrets and clutch them so close that not a breath could be taken near them
to protect you with a soft love, a gentle love, an intimate love
to assure you that when you speak with me, you are safe
there is not a number for the amount of times i have thought of you just today

My savings account was ready for his deposit
But got exactly The Opposite:
Thirty thousand our agreed amount
And simply ‘Three’ credited to my account…
Who can have his person spoilt
And the virtuous milk in him split?
I would say I could remember
His being obviously a cult member:
Rather a face unforgiving and somber
And a habit of counting women like number
Now that I sense ‘Some Sort of Thief
Our relationship should be damned brief
He may others’ valuables freely grab
Not mine who can’t tears steadily dab.

(described in ~thirty lines of rhyme)
Might help explain how fruit
full this harmless poetic brute,
(a Methacton School of hard knocks
grad), who sports astute
demeanor with ample
brew netted locks,
vaguely androgynously cute,
his trademark signature hirsute
unstyled wavy hair
tell tale characteristic,
not that I care if anyone
gives rats ass and/or hoot
bummer attire acceptable since
long unemployed and
recipient with meager loot
receiving social security
disability to boot,
nonetheless can while
away unlimited numbers
of wee hours into morning
yea ideally best time to sleep,
but also most optimal,
while the missus thrashes
in bed thankfully mute
unless ya don't count
flatulence she doth toot
disrupting and derailing
train of thought
courtesy trumpeting glute.

You've been dead for the same amount of time that you lived, forty-two years.
You were loved and your death devastated each and every one of your peers.
You didn't perform in all fifty states, one state that you missed was Montana.
You performed your last concert on June 26, 1977 in the state of Indiana.
Two of your hit songs were 'All Shook Up' and 'Hound Dog'.
You had great taste in motorcycles, you sure did love Hogs.
You had a wonderful life but not a life that was long.
When doctors constantly prescribed those pills, it was wrong.
You loved to give away Cadillacs, you truly had a heart of gold.
It was very sad to lose you when you were only 42 years old.
One of your friends saw you putting a hole in your foot with a drill.
When he asked you why, you said you were doing it to get more pills.
When you died on August 16, 1977, every one of your fans were in tears.
You've been dead for the same amount of time that you lived, forty-two years.
[Dedicated to Elvis A. Presley (1935-1977) who died on August 16, 1977.]

Amount of Sins Increases
As amount of sins always increases,
Jesus's preference is that He pleases;
As they expand,
On His command,
Takes sins and them tares to pieces.

Double Amount of Trump Trouble
Whatever will get Trump into most trouble,
Make sure that it happens and do it double;
Wherever he went,
Always incompetent,
And also be sure that it breaks his bubble.

Sure someone will already recognize this one.
Writing poems is just a way of displaying
feelings and working things out constructively.
If you see a great subject of mine go ahead
and use it in your poem.

No amount of liquor will
Drown my sorrow
No amount of pain killers
Will ever numb the pain
And no matter how much I smoke
I'll never forget the memories.

Most People for Most Amount
The most successful politician
will be the one who can satisfy
all of the voters all of the time.
This must be their main objective.
It is the ideal position but not
realistic. The realistic one is to
try and satisfy the most people
for the most amount of time.
Below is my Horn haiku for this.
How can a person
Satisfy the most people
For most amount of time?
That might not be the typical
form of haiku but it is mine.
