Best Anyway Poems

A strange sight upon a lonely road.
A dream ripped in half.
Looking closer, I wonder what was the travail.
An old price tag attached, making me wonder at what price it was sold.
Along the edges, tattered and torn, it gave forth an evil laugh.
As if some sly...

Winter. Saturday morning it was.
I woke up, called me my boss
"You're so lazy, you can't work anymore!"
Do you know, how were in a big loss?!

Couldn't believe in what he said.
Without moving, the way to stress i let.
No, it was my dream job, if you know?!
Dismissal...

Very silently step by step
In the dark it slowly crept
Until one day, to my surprise
The world I knew, I could not recognize
Little bits first then big ole pieces
Before you are aware, the world you know ceases
Never did I gave it a single thought 
A glimpse...

I know that you live in a world of your own
Fantasy and dreamland really should be your home
You’ve taken everything away from me
But I’ve cut the ties, now I am free

So you’ve been caught with your trousers down
You were wearing a grin – now your...

I have nothing to say
I tell myself
Inside my brain is empty
Swept clean!
Nothing being thought
Let alone clever
Then I sense a tension
I know I have walled in
Several thoughts 
But it's so neat in my brain
I cannot move any partitions
Thrum thrum thrum
The thoughts are really not the 
Containable...

My reflection in the moonlit pond
The owls are watching
The bullfrogs, the loons
The trees, the mountains, the stars
I hear what they say
How insignificant we are

And so it is
And so it was
And so shall always be

This group of smartly sounding words
Leaves little hope for you or me

Can what will be, be
If what was, wasn’t
Because what is, isn’t

If the truth becomes the lie
And the lie follows suit
Would that make seeking either
A...

Some gloom took her from me.
Or was it hate?
Or did it rest somewhere between the two?
She's gone is what matters.


The cars pass anyway.
The wind blows anyway.
That new apartment block gets built anyway.
The grass grows anyway and is cut down and grows and is cut down...

I met a man the other day
I think he thought he knew me
He heard me speaking with a friend
He said "Hey, are you from Kentucky?"
Well, I'm from West Virginia
He obviously doesn't know me

He grinned and then persisted
"Do you know Jethro," he inquired
"Or maybe you know...

Very mysterious, no heart on her sleeve
Not what I know yet what I believe

Always I will love her, she can't rob me of this
Among things she stole, respect and bliss

God only knows, what makes her tick
I can't see inside.  Too stubbornly thick

Along with anger,...

I read him my poems and he said, Oh I feel so sorry for you.
Had I read him a newspaper, would he still have felt sorry?
To read him a novel of mine, would have been too long 
and would he have lost interest by now?...

Rhyming is not hard for me.
Neither is light poetry. 
Lucky that way.
OK, the stanza count's three.
Rhyme scheme is A A then B.
Lots more to say.
Where is this going? We'll see.
Dr. Suess seems to guide me
along the way.

Once upon a time's cliché,
memories of yesterday.
Then it got...

It is better to love and lost Well, you have heard the saying                                ...

Did you know what your soul knew? 
Deep, in the dark recesses of your mind 
Lurking, quietly hidden...Coaxing you silently 
See it through...Acknowledge. 

Truth...Naked, exposed if you truly look 
Supposed, if you bait and hook 
Disclosed, if a chance you took 
Take it! 

Live freely,...

I don’t know about you 
  but my dreams are always all mixed up
  like sometimes I’m half my current age
  and I can run like a gazelle, and then I’m
  right back in my current prison of a body
