Best Coulda Poems

"Coulda, woulda, shoulda," is keeping me awake,
Things I could have stopped,
Things I would have done,
Things I should have said.

Those who do not speak will not be heard,
Things unspoken,
Promises broken,
Bottle up inside their heads.

I've seen two teacher scandals in my time,
Red flags mistaken,
Actions not taken,
Still haunt...

Not everyone's enamoured by my humour
At risk of my head being bopped
Say things in jest that are taken as serious
Chancing a punch in the chops

Like when I once said to a very large lady
Pressing two in the up elevator
“That's just one floor, you coulda walked!”
Almost...

i couldve had you for a lifetime
i wouldve always cared
i shouldve stuffed my head
with the memories we shared.
 i couldve dreamt of you
and your warm embrace
i couldve left with you
out of this wretched place.
 i wouldve run way
just to be with you
i wouldve painted your...

I've lived a lotta lotta years
though I'm still very young.
I seen a lotta lotta life
climbed and slipped the rung.
A lotta lotta little things
have helped me on my way
I also had a lotta lotta
lotta things to say.

Sometimes I feel I gotta lotta
things from loving life.
I know...

A trilobite born in a pond
     thought that he would evolve
   But untutored was he in DNA
     gene puzzles he just couldn't solve

   Two million years or three went by

I could
I should
Wait
But I'm done
Done
With all them

I would
I should
Look again
But you broke me
Broke
Everything I had

I should
I could
Forgive you
But you never call
Call
To show you care

I should
I would
Let you in
But we already know
Know
How that goes...

Could you be the love I seek
In this confusing life
Does it always have to be
Looking for a wife
Could I make you happy
With romance I supply
Would you be forgiving
If ever I should lie
Could you fill my arms
When ever you would cry
Could you kiss my lips
Before a...

I coulda written that song, “Purple Rain.”
It didn’t take that big of a brain.
And I coulda written that song “Hotel California.”
But girl - I do wanna warn ya!
I’ve always been considered at least halfway insane....

Her story ends in a storage unit;
she wrote it quickly in-between bottles of Liebfraumilch
- her life so far,
an autobiography hard to imagine
could have been told in any other way.
The editing took many toll-taking years
decades that squeezed themselves into her soul
fearful of being overheard.

A tell-tale flotsam...

I didn't talk to beauty, I shoulda
If I hadn't froze up, I woulda
I had the chance, I coulda

If I wasn't such a wuss, I shoulda
Just say hi, I woulda
And start a conversation, I coulda

She walked right by, as she shoulda
Didn't notice me, but woulda
If I...

I could have done it, but I wouldn't

I would have done it, but I shouldn't

I should have done it, but I couldn't

I didn't do it, but I wanted

You could ask me why I didn't

If I knew that, I would have done it...

Didn't you hear?

If you broke it you buy it

That is also true of your hearts desires
if you buy into your pain
well that is just insane

and its a way to live a life half alive

We all start fresh in life with no wrinkles
Life...
