Assertive Poems

It's not a two-letter, four-letter word

For some, this two-letter word
is as ponderous as a sixty-cubit chain.
It rattles around in their hearts
like a lightning-and-thunder storm.
Uttering it is as impossible as
eating blazing coals or rusty nails:
both burn the tongue as mercilessly.

Two simple letters that might as well be
any of the twelve Herculean tasks –
each one requiring heroic effort of will.
Far easier it

Solar Eclipse

In India, it is midnight now,
and the solar eclipse wasn't visible for that reason.
Still, I remained awake till the solar eclipse was going on:
because I take the Sun as my alter ego
and I can't feel easy until darkness is removed.
No matter how dark will it be for some time,
but still, the light will be the

The Square Root of Beirut

The Square Root of Beiruit 
 
Ten men bending while theyre pretending to be near the ending
A capitalist nightmare glares like rotten fruit
The squate root of Beiruit
No it isn’t fair, so they’ll start to loot
 
The soldiers are just standing,
Old than the god damn moon landing
The Universe is constantly expanding
Modern society is too ing demanding
 
Im handing you a

Premium MemberAssertive Hindrance

If you've ever wondered why I'm always leaping,
It's likely because the situation is hilarious.
I'm strong, but what I surely fancy is weeping.
I envy tears to run down my eyes, imperious.

I went in the opposite direction from the charter. 
I found my soul to be less than I had expected. 
Yet, I had twice the courage

Premium MemberAssertive Express

It could deplete you after a lengthy trip and oneness.
And I am yet lingering cruel by contemplating bliss.
You've defied steadily and excelled in thriving.
As you're tiresome, illustrate it muses everything.
Aside from any explicit cure, along these lines,

Is much being done to shape the planet more viable?
The sound of racing feet announces the arrival. 
As the

Premium MemberAmber Rivers of Past Regret

Amber Rivers of past regret:
Something I can not just forget
The pain is too deep of a feel inside
Somewhere along these trails, I ride.

It's deep a wound I cannot forget,
Amber Rivers with this deep regret
I'm not sure how to tolerate this pain
As I walk this lonely road in my brain.

Deep it was; that was taken from

Magnificent, they yelled for you

Premium MemberA Faerie Tale For Assertive Girl Children

Once upon a mountaintop a she-monster named Mazy 
was searching for a man.  
She wanted a young, honest alien man. Not a nutty old 
tooth-jagged Monster like Bill or Dan.
We were horrified. Inner-galaxy dating was ridiculous. 
It did not work, and was crazy.
Bill and Dan had already trained lots of wives, 
and if anyone

Premium MemberWe Have Raised Three Independent Daughters

We raised three daughters.
Doing our best to let them know that we adored them.
What they did after we released them into the world was up to them.
Most of their choices were good.
Some not so great, but we still let them know that we loved them. 
And even if we were being babies, throwing root beer

I wake up in consternation, it is a day off. 
No schedule, no paperwork, no boss.
I smile as this statement amuses me.
I have a boss, but she is totally not bossy.
She is delicate with me, possibly because I am the old one here.
Unless you count the nurse and the secretary. We three are the token

Premium MemberMolly Our Football Star

I have a football star in my family.
She is my granddaughter and she is thirteen.
A girly-girl when she is not playing defense.
A grizzly bear when she is playing on defense.
I will not get to see her play because I work
And her games start at 3:30 unless I take an hour off my work.
Her next game
