Best Act The Fool Poems

A nosegay is just a bunch of flowers 
The 'Gift' is a bunch of special powers
A day is just twenty-four hours
Lemons and limes are a pair of sours

A poem is a group of words that rhyme
(At least they do some of the time)
Larceny is just...

Imperative of a fallen star.
Discouraged from afar.
A shot goes out from a horizontal space.
One more bullet in the human race.
Cascade of resonance.
Death death dance dance.
As a tributary of a river swells.
From the omega to the frozen fells.
Pedantry to a broken rule.
A selfish way to act...

Having walked the path for so long,
      Trying his best just to belong,
One day he realized every step he took
      Moved him further away from himself 
Every stride just disappeared,

Sometimes I sit and wonder
What you see in me.
I’m not always the nicest guy around: 
Do you just choose not to see?

I don’t always say the right thing:
Put my foot in it often as not.
My big mouth causes me trouble
But it’s the only one I’ve...

Friends came around 
upset and angry 
with their children
a child's fist
flew through the wall

It's your fault 
the child said
It's your fault
my life is like this

several arguments
go into make one
a child's anger because 
of the state
Government rules

stupidity of men
the child was told
you have a right 
to...

Nobody wants to hear a boring story.


'specially when voices drone, monotone 
like an ancient documentary recording
 
or there’s so much "peace" and "happiness" 
you begin to doubt sincerity 

and the lack of any message 
results in a lack of any clarity.

Bueller, Bueller... there’s nothing cooler...

With what seems like lightening speed, time flies by,
The world as you knew it is gone, in a flash, in a sigh.

And all you really catch are glimpses of life here and there,
Sometimes the picture is pure delight, others deep despair.

Yet if you slow down...

You shelter me through tempest storms – indeed, you are my friend.

You never try to change my ways, instead you interblend;
I’m free with you and you with me, and neither will offend.

In spite of fashion's etiquette, your care does not depend
on ways I dress (or...

BEING THERE
some folks can be so cool
never,to act the fool,
laid back and taciturn-
this life they do survive,
more torpid than alive!...

Where My Dreams Have Led
By Roy Merritt

My baby ain’t got no teeth
She ain’t got no toes
She ain’t got no mouth nor ears 
Nor has she got a nose
She ain’t got no eyes
She ain’t got no arms or legs
She cain’t have no baby
Cos’ she don’t make...

Where The Grass Don't Grow

The historical record bared to see
In worn-torn pages, undecipherable.
And I’m to believe that this sum total
Will explain everything you say to me,

Mixed with phlegm spewed from the esophagus,
Spitting in my face like a rhinoceros,
That means nothing more than that goat in...

Yesterday when I was young
a life full of delight
we ran and played 
in fields and streams 
for morning till last light 

yesterday  when I was young 
a life that’s full of wonder 
of birds and bees 
and apple trees 
and even scary thunder

yesterday when...

"Simple Man"

I may never be the guy
that's the twinkle in your eye.
Nor that lucky fellow
that turns your legs to jello.
I won't ever be the chap
that's a feather in your cap. 
Nor that good ole' bloke
you want to take home to your folks.
I know I'm not...

Arrogance

More popular than religion
this is arrogance
which is plainly obvious to see
when now most the world thinks better
at least better than that of the

i'm sure you've seen it like i have
whether it be on a drive
or walk through school
it's insanely apparent
how people act the fool

like a quicksand pit
grabbing hold of you
and pulling ever harder
the pendulum of hell
has suddenly swung my way

If poverty were wisdom
I'd be the new Einstein
if bad luck were paid in bucks,
Donald Trump would be a friend of mine
 
If blindness to things 
about me
sharpened up my...
