Best Bear The Brunt Poems

A year ago, the Russian state launched an unprovoked attack
Seizing land from Ukraine but they've bravely fighting back 
If Russia can't have it, they operate a policy of scorched earth
And turn many towns and villages into mounds of rubble and dirt. 

Russia then weaponised their...

It takes two to make a baby
But the women bear the brunt
Yet for reasons that confound me,
It’s the men who most confront.

They just plant a seed and vanish
While not caring for a whit
If they’ve left behind a token
And what will become of it.

So the females...

My Dear Heart,

I owe you the gift of love and gratitude 
for each beat you take to keep me alive,
and for all the times you've been hurt
by bad decisions I made that wounded you.
You always heal, but I know you feel
the distress that sometimes left...

The kittens found my bag of words
And in their furry glee
They tapped them with their tiny paws
And wrote a poem for me


The mouse, a house bound hermit
Used its subtle tail
To add some punctuation
Lest the meter fail


The dog sniffed idly, unimpressed
For he was wary of those...

Axe the old Don, a trump peter n piper
   of incredulous hellish crud - be gone

   Sunkist in Macy's window 

   then like a jackal hound, he doth run
after public outcry yelps

Oh, where did you come from? The sad sight of you 
     breaks my heart in two. I see that you're lost, 
            scared, disheveled and emaciated.

These darts of love fly from our eyes
Adrip with passion's poisons clear and sweet,
Our aim that of another heart's defeat,
Its mute enslavement to our sighs.

Love blasts holes of unexpected size
In our defense; no wall will be respected.
The briarbarbed fence of self-content
Is breached, and trampled, with...

Stay in front
Bear the brunt...

Exam blues





Midnight oil was burnt,
Entire syllabus well learnt,
In exam hall I went blank,
Looked around as a prank,
My friends had to bear the brunt!

There is an age that parents fear,
A time when manners disappear.
When siblings turn and just for fun,
Hate everything, the time’s begun.

Now all become pure selfish sods
And think they walk where no one’s  trod.
They now behave like things from hell,
Just why this happens, none can...

Consistently inconsistent
Responsibly irresponsible
Flies among the birds
Yet the rat is his shape...
... The hypocrite...

The truthful liar
A pious criminal
Belongs to the two ends
Mouth: Two sided
Leaking words...
... The hypocrite...

Healthy but sick
Hungry but full
He is the foolish wise
Himself he deceives
Abeit thinking the world he deceiveth
He knoweth not
Full or not
He...

I've picked the scabs until they bleed,
And then wonder why they never heal
Is it just a compulsive need
For pain to be what I mostly feel?

A Masochist- Antagonist!
Perfect Punch-drunk Pragmatist!
The Hypnotist who slits his wrists-
And I shall suffer in the midst

The Agony cuts one half of...

that long lonesome highway
ain't so lonesome after all
there's many cars on the byway
and truckers on the long haul

driving one next to another
back and front and all about
dangers abound, some undiscovered
behind, before, all 'round, no doubt

you may think I'm a bit crass
but some folks ridin' these...

So you want this so bad?
Incorrigible lad
Your excesses will come back to haunt you,
But we may do a deal
Under this seal
Unless common sense doth daunt you.

Should push come to shunt
You’ll bear the brunt
Of an outlying cost that may shock you,
A bribe? You dare say
And ask...

DONALD TRUMP – RE: DUCKS --

Casino biggest win - before the political imbroglio
