Best Amateurish Poems

for your love i would do any thing
for anything you ask is possible
anything you want, it is my desire
that you have it

even the stars are not asking too much
because i can whisper words to make you
know there already yours

the sun on a cloudy day is...

It has occurred to me that as I grow older and use my life experiences more, everything means more than it did before. So, here I am, at the end of another year soliloquizing about myself, studying my life's reflection in a tarnished mirror, and...

For every step my father took,
my short legs took three.
“Daddy, please,” I called to him,
“you walk too fast for me.”

My sister took a husband;
my brother went to sea.
Our father sighed, “Our family time
has been too brief for me.”

As my teen years ended
and college lay before...

The sage green wall had worn a blank look
until, slightly askew, with a tilt to the left
dangling helplessly, without a complaint 
is the pride of an artist, who lacked all constraints.

He dipped into his paints with no sense of restriction 
hung it in place without...

When Dad died, I wrote a poem to read,
a tribute to the love he bestowed.
Tears fell as, at jet speed,
I scribed emotions that overflowed.

Before the funeral I showed it to you,
hoping you would allow me to share.
“Amateurish,” you said and I didn’t pursue.
For rhyme and...

When caught mid-flight
End to bloat against gravity
Thanks, rejection is not of the earth

My eyes are welling
I won’t hold back with shame 
Even warriors often times loosen, weeping

A good mother’s breast thrust
Not in for the oldest trade 
Gives the child, from infant, the best trust 

The...

Amidst the fine feetle of veggies in the garden of truth 
Stands a monstrous scarecrow.  
Of a fungoid parched face and a half baked gaze.
Of shrunken smoked sockets and drunken knocked eyeballs.
Bulged cheekbones force the halloween smile
While the amateurish wrought neck holds the somewhat...

Antics Of A Buzzfeed Ding Housefly...

Non random, but (based on my very
     far out, flimsy laughably 
     amateurish thinking)
     faux feigned aye
firmly believe, that
     what appears bye and by
as...

Goodness, I nearly lost my balance on the spiral seashells and broken sea stone chipping matrix.
My quaint obsession with marine life and that skyline paradox blossoming so tantalisingly,  might be a source of some unfortunate accident.
“Be careful, Hunter.”
A dramatic otherworldly start to our long...

On a sage green wall that once wore a blank look,
it dangles helplessly, without a complaint. 
It is slightly askew, with a tilt to the left,
giving the viewer a crick of the neck

Hanging precariously, for an eager assessment
without much annoyance, or an "either" or an...

Magnificently speechless, 
Your hand held tenderly within my own.
We steal with clumsy adoration,
Through an amateurish unknown.

Graceful eyes that flicker shut,
Into a sleep that tugs you from shore.
And in my arms, we’re carried away,
By feelings too fierce to ignore.

My dearest friend, divine and unparalleled,
One day you...

In the pocket of an old coat
about to be donated,
I stumble upon words scribbled on a pad
as I watched my husband die.

“Your love is the most precious thing in my life.
Do you know I see you as a shining star --
my mentor, my lover, my...

That was a nice move you just made
to get yourself crowned prom king
Checkerhead
But now you’ve graduated to playing chess,
and you can’t just jump the queen
You can’t jump her Amazon bones to win,
like you did silly Susan back in grade ten
Checkerhead
Those clumsy, bozo moves
ain’t gon make...

would that I could
pick up reception
of celestial transmissions
with a couple'a old soup can phones
and country miles of string
(would they have harp string ring tones?)
and ask the old man
about days long ago
interrupting his labors
tilling god's fecund green fields
(most likely the back forty)
a bit east of old eden, I'm...

RESURRECTION OF A HEROE:
This is ANDERSON WALKINGSHOES... 
CHORUS:
Far from comparison, far from fear.
Failure part of the journey; shed no tears.
Man...do... the best you can do.
Talents in your hand's only for you. 
No body cares...what you goes through;
When you succeed, people comes to you.
But...when... it's opposite,
That's...
