Best Assume Poems

For an hour
Cicadas saw at the early August evening
While thunder purrs as kittens
In the yarn of dark clouds balled up out west over Ionia County

Trees prepare their umbrellas
The Tigers on TV swing away in the 3rd inning
A good book in hand

Then out of hand
A den...

or even try to presume.

So if we try to articulate
of things we aren't sure,
do we assume or shut the door
on thoughts we may abhor?
 
So don't assume, just give the facts
that you are sure to...

So you have an MBA but you 
felt empty at times
You have gone to school for a 
couple of years
You are knowledgeable in that 
particular field that you are so 
captivated with
Now you sit down to lunch with 
an old friend from high school 
that...

You may assume that I am a grizzly bear because you hear me growl. Until you see that I am merely scratching my back or singing my song.

You may assume that I am a kitten because you hear me purr. Until you see me licking...

People Assume


Sometimes in life, many people assume
You are guilty, guilty, guilty!
Needless to say, those people knows not fumes
Maybe they are just flaunty, flaunty
Shall we tell them to spray some perfume.

Inside their mouths, I only hope 
Maybe someday they will fall on their *a**
I only hope...

"You assume too much..."

Assumptions: cunning little devils, always sneaking up and
tripping up the clearest thought or the wisest head;
insinuating themselves into cherished beliefs, firm opinions
and the well worn habits of mind and body.

Assuming: convincing thinking and rationales, straightfaced 
delivery of error and misconception to an...

don't ever assume 
when you've only seen the surface - maybe even 
scratched through 
a few layers - 
and figured what was beyond 
could only be 
similar to what your mind 
told you was there 

don't ever assume 
or listen without ears 
or read between...

beginning to lose her patience; 
short-tempered quite frequently no one knows, for she goes unnoticed
not one has seen the flame once so small for now its a blazing and raging fire within. she remains silent. only to concentrate solely on her journey at hand. ...

Do not assume something about me that's gonna make you look like a fool.

1-  I do not love no one but myself and my son.

Dear God, life is sweet and kind,
Older Brother makes me smile all the time,
He speaks of days yet to come,
His dreams make me feel less numb,
I love him, like I've never loved another,
And they are fools, those that think he is more than just my...

When you ASSUME anything about anything, anybody or yours truly,
you make an ASS out of U and ME, 
every time with everything and everybody, 
inevitably....

A BRIDE A GROOM WITH ROOM TO ASSUME

All of us inhabit a restrictive rectangular room
Believing love is most assuredly what we all assume
Cubicles with questions as wallpaper and errors  are a rug
And that’s when an obviated obsession becomes a lethal drug

Love is this or...

I live
where the other world meets reality
Always Assume


ignoring, staring
at blinding glances of sun rays

I die
alone in a crowded room
echoed stress
deafening what’s assumed

Assume wrong
and wrong you will be 

Assume long 
and think of what they see

Assume strong
and read each body note

Assume gone
and despair overruns hope...
