Best Behave Poems


A Struggle To Behave
I'm just not an athletic go-getter.
Won't catch me in a teams scarf or sweater.
But what I watch on TV, 
That always does it for me,
Wrestling- and the dirtier the better!!!...

Why Behave
Why shave?
Why bathe?
Why behave?

Should a man let self-maintenance make him a slave?
If he bucks expectation, will all think him depraved?

Perhaps think about starting a hippie enclave…
Where the bathtubs are puddles and the streets are unpaved.

But no, I like smart phones and my microwave.
How else could...

Waves Behave
Ships upon ships in a watery county
Captains attempting in maneuvering their ships all from the bounty
The stormy skies with wind, which Heaven was in charge
The seas rocking all ships
Heaven voice of lighthouses being their tip
Deeper and deeper ships go in a disastrous dip
The open seas...

Slave To Wave Who Will Behave
Slave To Wave Who Will Behave

Have often found myself to be a slave,
To water surfing on in form of a wave;
Like me;
Love to see;
Best are those who themselves behave.

Premium Member Innuendos Don’t Behave
Who knows not where a wasp does wear his sting? In his tail.
In his tongue.
Whose tongue?
Yours, if you talk of tails: and so farewell.
What, with my tongue in your tail?
   Nay, come again, Good Kate;
   I am a gentleman.
—William Shakespeare, The...

Behave Yourself
Behave yourself! Or what?
What if I don't, you sot?
What  if I did misbehave?
Give the couriers more than a wave?
Ain't misbehaving, ha ha ha.
Imagine me and a Grandpapa!...

Why Full-Fledged Men Behave Like Steel
WHY FULL-FLEDGED MEN BEHAVE LIKE STEEL

Men; though corpulent and full-fleshed,
We still break down and lose form.
A woman is expressive and detailed. Yes!
But men? Can't be said of a lot of them. Yeah, most definitely and absolutely undebatable!
Why we don't tell you about our day at...

even the quality of living is unstable
new zealanders are flooding into thousand oaks like
similar valleys for the corruption entrees

Premium Member My Statue of Liberty
I once behaved. Followed all the rules. Understood what was "normal". My parents taught this, teachers demanded this, principals enforced this. Ministers expected it, society reinforced it, friends tested it, professors challenged it.
Then, poetry became my statue of liberty.


following the rules
and behaving normally
no longer appeals

Premium Member History
History 
A carbon copy of the past
To prevent a loss or lapse in memory
Even when people become Alcheimer patients 
History remains
The good and evil remain
No one can erase the past
But to learn a lesson
To behave well
And to teach the younger generation
The fact that
Truth and history...

Premium Member An Undelivered Letter
There is an undelivered letter 
Called democracy 
Because freedom is limited 
Law is passed 
To keep man knowing how to behave
To prevent man from running wild and loose 
And to prevent man from fleeing to the boundary of wilderness...
