Best Amiss Poems

I was a successful, scientific explorer, traveling to the remote, distant lands,
Bettering noble lives of many, like budding, green spring which understands.

And every day held fruitful discovery, as when the autumn colors are flying,
Or when milky stars begin their twinkling, before a hued sun's done...

Through rolling vapor MISTS I spy, a sailing ship at sea,
And think, perhaps, the Captain’s lost, MYSTIFIED as to where he be-
For he had MISSED his plotted course, because he could not see,
And now was lost and AMIDST, with others just like he-
There was no...

There is yelling and crying
Good.
There is screaming. 
A loud wail. Great!

Uh-oh.
Dead quiet.
I creep up, quietly
To spy on them

Knowing something is
Up. They are four, six, 
And eight, 

Only quiet when they
Are up to their most
Dastardly deeds....

Together we stood
but, my hand remained empty.
I miss holding hands....

Don’t play like u wanna kiss me
If u miss me
Don’t hug me 
see what happens if you try and touch me
Untouchable

Stop.
That just makes me sound pathetic 
I don’t get it
Guess love is a confusing thing
Always down and causin pain
Till it happens
Then it’s beautiful
Romantic
Larger than life
Gigantic...

Do I miss you
Because
You're far?
Do I miss you
Because
It's been awhile?
Why do I miss
What do I miss
What what oh what
Is amiss?
Is it the absence
Of you?
The distance
Of you?
Am I night 
Missing the moon
The twinkling of stars
All the strangers around me
Not bright enough
To lure me out of the...

Of the reasons are explanations-
Pockets, frailty, disorder, excuses

Various angles of view
And I miss the bull’s eye
Score me on the fringes anyway

Am borrowed on tomorrow
Leading of life, that’s the worth
Go, in peace, from me-my loss...

Tears falling like rain drops
Agony pinching at my heart
A wailing cry, deepening sobs
All because I loved you from the start

Ever since that rainy day
Your smile made feel like a spring's flower
Your laughter warmed me like summer may
Your touch stilled me like winter's shower

Then to tell...

In the world that we live in things are amiss.
We no longer welcome Gods heavenly bliss.
Through the swamps of sin we have swam,
not caring what awaits us as we near the end.
In his garden of beauty we could soar,
but this gift that awaits us we...

Beginnings of
A cave replete
A history
In gore complete
A mega rage
Of years entreat
Devour earth
To my defeat

And how do we
Do savor it?
The kind of which
Must discomfit
A water-world?
A match past lit?
A death null and
A fitting split
From life beginnings
Do return
To end of life
And my sojourn

From tree and cave
A dweller due
This...

Silently, she waits.
Quietly, he hesitates.
Boldy, they kiss.
Yet, the situation seemed amiss....

Miffed by society's resolution to dis and unsatisfy the efforts of its own to change 
the way automatic convenience has simply taken over the job of its human 
counterpart and creator.

Amiss at the lack of attention paid to the impossibilities supposed by the errors 
and...

All I wanted for Christmas was everything

Everything I got for Christmas
Now resides at the pawn shop

You ask for the world, you end up with Earth -
Dirty
Rotting
Infested
Utterly confusing

The most liberating thing a person can do
Is say 'I don't know' ... And mean it

But what if you...

For the other such as me,
Who's destined to be alone,
But for love to ever be,
And make its presence known!...

“A Man of Lost Talents”

We all have talents
Mine the most precious of all
Without a doubt
It is something 
I could live without

Some would say it’s a surprise
Some would say it’s remarkable
Some would say it’s incredible
Me, thinks, “Fantastic.”

My wife says I could do much more
If I would...
