Best Attempted Poems

She said she prefers humor
In a man.  I am no Shakespeare
But I know how to conjugate
With knack and with wit, even
The occasional split infinitive:
To gamely gabble as she giggles.

Where is the fun in that?  Better
To impress her with some slapstick
Skit, or razor sharp...

He's sitting in the sand
In his right hand
A little stone, he lifts it high
Left hand fingers fly.

               He lets his tongue taste the weather on his skin

I can't make sense of this head of mine
I feel hopeless, running out of time

I should've died, my only wish
I just don't understand all of this

why does God want me to live
I'm alone, I have nothing to give

scars of white, tears of red
I can't make...

I know that dire lame dope head 
tried to frame me nicking his moped 
planned to leave it near my house 
after which learn of its whereabouts 
then say he saw me sneak about

The flowers grew only on the far side of the river
It has been a lifetime since I sat peaceful and patient
and searched for a four leaf clover
The sky the most perfect blue
The clouds are bursting and go on into infinity
The air is brisk, Autumn is...

okay,
i will talk about flowers
if you will talk about togetherness
okay,
i will walk beside you
if you will agree to slow down
okay,
you can have your freshly brewed coffee

okay,
i will check out the abstract art of you
if you will look at...

Time is very valuable
It's always of the essence
Gives them chances
But it takes patience

Learning things, like something new
Is required in most cases
The things they have they say or do
Leaves their mind with no empty spaces

Although they try with all their might
To make it through to victory

She is Christmas past
In a way, to most goes unseen
Radiant with purity too true to last
Yet with her my love tends to lean

And from love’s light a face revealed

I called out to Death
And Death answered me
I cried out for his embrace
And he comforted me

I danced with Death and I felt free
Oh...

It’s not the Pillsbury Bake Off
It was a need for dessert
Bake on Bake on
The oven is good and hot
Soon a layer cake to eat, I hope
Better have the Pepto...
