Best Agreeing Poems

He taunted me with hope
When there was no hope for us.
We were past, the past
Gone from today and tomorrow,
Boldy planted in the memories who haunted
Me like summer haunts the autumn
Or sunshine haunts the rain’s relentless falling

He taunted me with the chance
When there wasn’t a chance in this world.
We were the dearly departed, without 
Being morbid,...

My chameleonic self agreed with Two and Ten.
Eight and Nine felt differently, yet, I agreed again.

Three and Seven came along with other ideas yet.
Eleven agreed and quickly became my favorite pet.

Six and Five heard about this. Rapidly sought me out.
Four thought it great when I kicked ideas with One about.

But my chameleonic self could not...

Three sage faeries crept out of the tall grasses of the Avalon
The air was ripe with dew, it was the beginning of fawn
How many butterflies shall we grace the meadow with today?
They debated this solemnly, it was their assignment in May.

Sixteen monarchs, a dewberry wing, and Luna moths one suggested.
That is way too many for...

Let's agree to disagree
When differences arise
For every person has some traits
Which really might surprise.

To focus on the things we share
Is what we ought to do.
Relationships can last
When commonality's the glue.

We can't expect to be in sync
On every point in life,
So keeping quiet might be
One sure way to keep out strife.

But sometimes reaching out a bit

oftentimes not the matter of everyone's general well-being
one fifth oxygen in earth's atmosphere enables human breathing
olfactory nerves sensing chemical changes defined as smelling
retina's reaction to incoming photons results in seeing
neural oscillation means brain's involved in the process of thinking 
needing proximity and caring deeply about is called loving
solicited or not, thoughts soon begin cascading and...

I have noticed
in negative strong
long feeling settings
a willingness
to accept impatience
to reluctantly embrace tolerance
and Agree to DisAgree.

Yet, to equate this conclusion
with cooperatively
and actively Agreeing to Positively Agree
with anticipation
rather than further win/lose anxiety
would be to overvalue tolerance
and to underestimate
differences between green systemic logic
and self-deceiving red v blue fallacy.

We do not meet
win/win standards of nonviolently held energy,
powers of...

1967.
My twin and I were allowed to choose paints
and wallpapers for our joint room. 
I insisted on stripes and polka dots.
My sister wanted old-fashioned flowers.
Our mother settled it.
One wall each and one plain wall.
In lavenders, purples and turquoise.
Setting a new trend in small town Iowa.
The next year empire waist dresses came out
With polka dotted bodices...
