Best Attitudes Poems

 Thanks to Dr.Ram Mehta for introducing this awesome poetic form to me I had to try it  
No two people are the same, likewise attitudes differ
When attitudes conflict it leads to speculation that maybe
Standing down can make you humble not bring humility

Tempers and attitudes in our house did stay
Guess it was because we were raised that way
Things could get bad when one of us got mad
If you escaped unhurt, then be really glad
For the attitudes would flare
And tempers would rage
We were all quite violent for our...

self pride
a wall standing
between free resources 
and your babies hungering eyes
torn down

beggers
spout civil rights
their misfortune you see 
begs atonement by sacrifice
your cash

A recent survey shows the average 
beggar takes home $150-$200 a day.  
Most of them just consider it “their job”

Boredom.
Basic Attendance.
Bliss.

Basic Attendance,
like everyday naked birthday suit Positive Psychology,
wu wei squeezed in between boredom and bliss.
A "wear your everyday stay-at-home comfy clothes"
way of balancing
Yin's manic excesses of sensory-cognitive relational internalization
and
Yang's monocultural excesses of ego-conscious totalitarian supremacy,
each and all very nice in mutual moderation,
but really not...

From the heart these words are sown
Borrowed from the word and on loan
Follow along as you will read
In turn these rhymes your soul they’ll feed

In an attempt to pen like Cowper and Knox
And share these thoughts from a bag of rocks
And type them in line...

ATTITUDES
 ever rising
in
 temporary
affirmatives
&
hidden
uncertainties
in
 conditioned
optimism

a
radical change
envisaged
of
time unlearnt
with
 reciprocating
gestures
 of
 mutual respect
 ever lasting...

Tommy’s having a meltdown
in the local supermarket aisle
I know his careworn mother
so greet her with a kind smile

Tommy’s cries are getting louder
and he throws himself on the floor 
Amy ignores him to do her shopping
but hears folk tutting by the door

As Tommy looks like a...

Let your attitudes be attitudes of Jesus,
Let your attitudes be attitudes of Love.
Let your attitudes be attitudes like Jesus,
Let your attitudes come from Him above.
Let your attitudes be attitudes like Jesus,
Let your attitudes settle like a dove.

I'm sick of dealing with people with attitudes!!
They have their good days, then some with blues.
I'm stressing hard and I'm trying not to.
My head is so screwed up that I don't know what to do!
The situation is deep and unpredictable,
To be my friend, there aren't...

The attitudes we carry speaks volumes you know...
They're like a dress or suit, they always show.

Good or bad or nice or not...
A bad attitude always leaves a dark sp.

So let us look at our attitudes and make sure they're right...
Because no matter how hard we...

I've never
Be-held the howling wind,

Yet from effects
I can reason it's there.

I cannot delve
Into the heart of another,

Yet deep inside I'm mindful
If they care;

I have not experienced
Another's miles,

Because I've walked not
In their shoes;

But I'll instruct not one
To sing sad songs,

Given that I'm unwilling
to croon the blues;...

Rules help us live together in peace
Rules give the hawk control of the geese
Rules are for fools
Who lack the tools
Rules light the way the whole world to fleece!...

Focus 1:
Yes, all I need is inside me – 
Truth that I heed now sets me free.


Focus 2:
Purpose I know is but my quest – 
To learn, to grow, to be my best.


Focus 3:
I heed the flow: learn to be free –
To help me grow,...

Cope with me then copy me
shifting as if no rules
exist and we're all fools
or is it a peculiar plan
to ask lies to be told
then suddenly and out of this word
take down the shameful mask
give me salvation
and give me your truth
never mind my temptation
just make me...

This 6 liter hard candy girl
tickles my eyes and curls my toes.
Makes me dance to music I can’t feel.
Sends me where I’ve never been before,
on a tour
of Big Time, Small Town, Milky Way Heaven,
wearing clumsy sneakers that reek of old cliches
and humming sad tunes from...
