Best Adjustment Poems

in the frail blue dusk, 
that comes as prelude to dark,
there's a fragile lapse,
one period so oblique,
it's called neither night or day.

this brief moment comes
as if designed to be our
period of adjustment,
before darkness wraps its arms
and the daylight lets us go

there is grace and ease,
that...

Life is an Adjustment


Sometimes you gain something
Something you sacrifice for someone
this principle of gain and sacrifice
comes in the life on every segment

      Because life is an adjustment

You don't get always
the things you desire for
Along with every desire
There comes the substitute...

It is always after days like this one,
of a kind of proverbial snake chasing
its tail, its form flawless, its strength in

numbers of its friends all rolling together
carrying me to the end of a long day,
the end being where I started, just as

dark, my breath as...

My eyes open
Am I alive?
Yes, I decide,
Peering in the mirror,
I just feel dead.
I stumble into the kitchen
Seeking my morning miracle
But coffee doesn't do its job.

Back in the bathroom,
Make-up is futile and
To add to my misery
It's a bad hair day!

Checking the looking glass
One last time, I...

Computer Adjustment

Oh!  do I need a computer fix 
I do want to throw some bricks
my life is wrapped around my computer
it is always playing its tricks

eighty percent is spent sitting and staring
reading, playing, and writing
while I sit here and play, my butt gets bigger
there...

Out of the deepest broken heart I have ever had,
When I could not see the light of God anymore;
My directional flow of movement stood still, I
Did not move anymore.
Felt like it was okay to stay in ways past,
But you my Lord God were not having...

I feel like a mean old woman sometimes
Shaking my hard-knotted fist at the world
Yet feeling sheepish over my attitude
Shamed by the angry words I've hurled

My feelings get hurt and I strike back
At other times Ill just sit and cry
Turn my face to the darkened wall
And...

No one wants to go out of own sphere

racing wind ignores clothes
freezing thoughts in sudden pain
ignored for stubborn gain...

To those trying to vex me I must say, "I don't mean to be rude,
But you need to make an adjustment to your appalling attitude."

Psychic is the new normal - Chad Mercree

It was the flowing time then 
I flew free with the flock in convivial sky 
I could join the kith and kin
Sing together the spring song.

It was the flowing time then   
I returned to the lively...

Oh flesh of many colors,
brothers all are we,
placing the Holy Spirit
above us on our knees.

No matter what we’re labeled
by those who sell a grace,
when names and slogans start to fly,
be calm and hold your place.

A yearning, kindly human heart
is only satisfied
through service to our Father,
not...

The rise in prices
Price increase becomes
Price adjustment
But the rise is something different
Unlike the tide
It only rises 
And never falls
It's seasonal
Just like the durian
Every year at least once
With the Financial Report
And Unlike the durian it seldom falls
If it doesn't rise 
The piece of cake is smaller
Less...

   Character matters addressed by the Kings,
   By attitude adjustment - repentance of sin,
   From heaven and earth with prayers for the dream:
   Love is the standard, not the color of skin.
