Best Curve Poems

I’ve been told, I deserve so much,
for the work I've done, for the lives I touch.

I would like to say, my dear friend,
what I deserve, is a bitter end!

I have lied, I’ve also cheated,
believe it...

The Curve of Time

This curve is the truest magic of space and time,
With one finite, the other infinite but not in kind.

Inspiring mankind’s depth of a true infinite intention.

The infinite extension of this mystical curve of time,
Gives our...

Before you run out oxygen
Climb the learning curve of gratitude.

When life withholds all you need
And you start to get an attitude,

Summon me...

Lines, Launch Angles and Curve Balls

The boys of summer 
Set up for a season of lines, launch angles and curve balls
With straight chalky lines leading to a field of dreams
Where line-ups keep the line moving 
On frozen ropes to climb the ladder into the catbird...

O.K. so I agree my hips just might be a bit wide
And yes I admit my butt oversized
So what if I’ve got extra fat 
Wont stop me from thinking I’m all that
My figure obviously larger than yours
But these differences uniquely ours

When I was ten I went to England with my mother and younger sister.  It was the Queen’s Silver Jubilee. For 
Monarchists, you’ll know what a lot of fanfare goes on.  There were “block parties” everywhere—streets closed off and 
whole neighbourhoods dancing. ...

The old steam engine chugged trying to reach the top,
Slowly it inched as the pressure valves were about to pop.
Just a few more feet and it would start its journey down,
And it would then be up to the brakeman to keep them from over shooting...

Michelle fell for a guy named Mikhail
Whose imagination is so fertile
She felt greatly loved
As she has been told
That her most beautiful curve was her smile....

There were warning signs proclaiming "DANGEROUS CURVE AHEAD!"
But no one paid much attention to them as on they recklessly sped!
On that treacherous stretch was a bend known as "Dead Man's Curve,"
Where many souls began their eternal bourne because they failed to swerve!

Other signs along that...

Bobby Stokes pined to be a politician.
He was bright, idealistic, full of ambition.
But in office he forgot
what he clearly should have not.
Incumbents heed a dirty tricks tradition....

When life throws a curve,
And it rattles a nerve,
To focus return,
The lesson learn,

Where are you along the curve?  How grateful is your heart?
Do you know the God you serve, or the gifts that He imparts?
Examine where you are and contemplate where you should be.
Take an honest look how far you are along the curve that you...
