Best Change Of Direction Poems

I have an aversion to prejudice
Judging a pond without sampling its ice
Consorting with others eating large melons
Passersby judged as free men or felons

Women condemned as whores or harlots
While tormenting men turn the air scarlet
Then sit in the pews reserved for the saintly
Ogle the preacher’s wife...

I dream of the feeling, of not feeling too much
Being pleasantly mild, unbothered by touch
I imagine, I’m average and pleased to know
Achievements take effort.  I’ll go where I’ll go

As for uncertainty, I’d choose not to dwell
But go with the flow, through life I would...

Tanka, didn’t work for me you see.
Sorry for the wait, I’ve been as busy as a bee.
I see PD is getting a lot of praise
I’m confident, PD, it is not just a phase!

I had to wait to view some of your writes
I had little information,...

Searching here and there, hither and thither not knowing when to stop
The road is long the path is narrow the hill so steep, is there a top?
Each twist and turn, a new obstacle, something else to overcome
But there is a way, a map for your...

Tripping on the waves of fascination,
Could the tail lights of your love be far ahead?
The ripple effects of yesterday, can be felt today.
The balance of separation, not so equal for both.

Evaluating the coverage that you have been giving me,
Staring into your eyes, I am not...

Ode to Taylor Swift and the Car Park Incident

Today I saw the most ridiculous thing 
Taylor Swift existing backwards from a car park 
So she wouldn’t be seen 
On her un-best side that is
Does she look beautiful on one side 
And from the other a...

My mind's run aground
with memories abound
of word-sparring and writing astute
'midst merriment and mirth
my poems were rebirthed
with your help, you of highest repute

Empty each hour
my countenance dour
denied of the presence of you
in sunrays you're basking 
whilst busily crafting
brilliantly penned clerihew 

My lover, my mentor
are we finally...

I knew a man who always traveled,
 he worked hard and was ever on the go.
He said that he would like to own property,
 a Squire or Country Gentleman, as you may know.

I could not believe it,
 as one day he came with cash in...

Mark & Megan

Megan was a quiet girl and a studious 
young woman she was,
and never had dated till Mark came along
which changed her life for what she thought was a plus.

They began to date in her Junior year of high school
which caused her grades to...

Autumn phrases as a river are being read
A man flips the page and glides his hands
He purposes a new chapter with firm eyes
And reads the river with a fresh new look
Every fold every crease is viewed by care
He steadies his course a mind of purpose
Give...

Delay by Him has taken its toll,
Waves of doubt rollover the soul,
Despair extinguished the Spirit,
Wax-filled ears would not hear it.

"Listen, you have left My way!
Wait for My providence and pray.
Change of direction is needed."
But His correction went unheeded.

The restless spirit wrests control,
God's will is no...

GOOD SAMARITAN

I'm a certain man, innocently I journeyed
Stripped and wounded; did no wrong
They had chances to help out yet they neglected
Everyone you meet daily is a neighbour 
Not because they reside next to you
but because they are next to you
and you owe them a duty...

Living above ground in invisible coffins condemned to a 6 foot box
COVID stripped us of keys to our freedom holding us captive with no way to pick the locks
Welcome to a zombie apocalypse are dizzy thoughts twirling in my tired head
Halloween is everyday all year...

Too many changes, differences and loss
Some changes are necessary,
Others don't count the cost
Of change

Change of direction
I am sure I don't know,
This way or that way
Which way should I go

The indecision is driving me mad,
Because some of the changes
They are reckless and bad,
Change for the better

I'm...

About to move and break through  
not knowing who’s there on the other side 

Only going through myself, without others   
purposed to be open to almost anyone  
eengaged in my structure and with my posture  
notwithstanding my character and charge...
