Best Behave Poems


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

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 I heat up the treats that I crave?

I think I’ll go down to Wendy’s… buy a burger from Dave.
Wait, who am I kidding? He’s dead in his grave.

I’ll just make something here, hit the porch and sunbathe
And think about the five or more bucks that I’ve saved,

And count all the gifts that our earth-mother gave.
My armpits still smell and my beard is unscathed.

Because why shave?
Why bathe?
Why behave?

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 being their own Sea God
No voice with speech can actually say
The sea wave’s move in having their way
Yet the high sea waves in their sound
Questionable moments in a rocky bearing bound
Many ships of the past perished on the seas
I seem to remember a courageous ship only known as LADY LOUISE
It was a ship that did survive
There was adventure and true guidance that helped the ship to strive
The shortest of times
What is actually kept in the mind?
The seas will continue on the journey of derive
The theory of seas behave under who controls
A praising voice looking for that behold
But Heaven above and the superiority one with the majesty name to think of
A ship is mainly the craft meant for the sea
But no one really knows the reason, as it is the holy one called thee
Waves and seas were created beyond men’s understanding what nature can establish
Seas upon seas in knowing how to ride the wave and to see beyond how the lighthouse guides
It’s Heaven alone with its own special stride.

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 Taming of the Shrew
    (exchange between Petruchio and Katherine)

Love looks like blue skies, nay.
Today is the tango of sister twisters.

Innuendos don’t behave. They slave
over the mountains and valleys.

Twines of a forked tongue, devilishly
misbehaving, drunken in delight.

Good Kate, is she kind, his kind of date?
Will she satisfy his intellect, his loins?

Is he a gentleman, this Shakespeare?
Is his lady worthy of remarkable taste?

Petruchio, with his yellow jacket,
prepared to sting, with lover’s words.

Katherine’s falling into the Venus fly trap
as she plays along, bidding farewell.

Petruchio draws her back in
wagging his tail and tongue.

These heavy boots filled by Taylor and Burton
acting in real time and on the silver-tongued screen.

If the ballroom could produce such a tango as this,
Shakespeare himself would rise and erupt in applause.

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 never die

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.

behave!!!

it not in the way you make a man
even the quality of living is unstable
new zealanders are flooding into thousand oaks like
similar valleys for the corruption entrees
soo many spill outs from the economic offerings
please bring the handsome warrior of sex with!
amazing
the spending habituals of teenage frolicking
60-80 and 90 year old rotted l death ven diagram
oasis retreat me never gossip gotherians
and the make a move already boys with holsters attache me now

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 work?
Bcos we don't want you to know that we work too hard 
yet make too little compared to you or your friends.
We do not want you to worry and transmit to the kids.
After 10 hours work day or more, we come back home,

try to fix what needs to fixing without complaining
even if it cost us our health or comfort
bcos we do not want you to feel we can't handle it,
so that you trust us to think we've got it under control.
Men can be strong or stone-hearted at times 
but women get overwhelmed a lot bcos of their work load. 
Oh really? Well, that could be true too!
But here is a living and naked truth:
We don't let you see us get overwhelmed 
Cos we want you to feel everything is okay

so that you could be comfortable and be at peace. 
But it definitely does get overwhelming sometimes.
It's not manly to spend time in the shower, Mr Man! 
Hmm...why we take a long shower sometimes?
Truth is, sometimes that's where we let it all out;
The pain, the disappointment, the hurt and the weight,
sometimes that's where we don't withhold our tears,
so that nobody will see us or hear us when we cry.
Tho responsibilities & expectations stay high, 
just know that men still try...but men also cry.

The Reason I Behave

Voice of conscience here you are again
niggling at my soul like one last Amen 
Breathe me in, but do not rob me of my choice 
you know its nice when I can use my other voice 

Take me to your right but don't neglect my left 
you conscience,  are my wholesome gift  
Whisper to me softly truths I do not dare 
for when my slate is clean I feel light as air  

You conscience, are the reason I behave 
the purpose I hold straight my stave 
Drink me in and water my reason 
be at my side, for every season.

All Behave Correctly

Alice actually ate an apple,
Billy broke building blocks,
Cora counted candy corn,
Donna drove decoy ducks,
Elliot's eating eggplant,
Frannie's filleting fish,
George's geeting Greta,
Harriet's hunting hornets,
Inez is irritating Ike,
Jasmine's jabbing John,
Karen's kissing Kevin,
Leon loves Luann,
Monte's mimicking Mary,
Nellie's not-so nice,
Opal's organizing origami,
Penelope's pushing Perry,
Quina's quietly quilting,
Ramona's reading romance,
Sophie's softly singing.

Behave For Her

I found this book of empty pages...
...sat down on my bed.
I closed my eyes...
Then I went into my head...

All I could hear was your voice...

All I could see was your face...
My body began to tingle...
...at the warmth of your embrace.
My heart began to beat faster...
That's when you touched me.
That's when you kissed me gently...

And said "Behave for me."
I softly replied "Yes Ma'am, as you wish,"
You took me by the hand,
and led me to this purple room...
Filled with chains...
with whips....
with the thoughts of you...
With my tongue between your hips.
"So, this is what she means," I thought...
as I slowly licked her cl**
This is how I behave for her....
This is it.

I rolled you over onto your stomach,
and to my surprise....
You stood up and bent over,
I couldn't believe my eyes.
So now, I'm completely hard...
Throbbing and shaking...
I couldn't believe it...
All this nasty love, we're making.

I slide in from the back,
As we both took a huge gasp,
I couldn't help myself,
Smacking your a**
Every single thrust...
Sweat pouring...
Your moaning.... my groaning.
This is what behaving for her...
...is all about.
Without a doubt.

I lay you on your back once more...
And slide my tongue back inside.
Oooooh, these feelings!!!!
I will no longer hide!!!!
Your ****** was so explosive...
You came all over my face.
And that, my love....
Mmmmmm...
A moment, I'll never erase.

So when I hear you say "Behave for me."
I'll be a good boy.
I'll always behave for her....
I'm her secret little toy.
