Best Cut Corners Poems

Remember those that cut corners will go around in circles
And those with one’s mind attached to a string pulled which way what ever
Be of one’s self honest and the truth will find the right road.

Sticky handprints on my door
Muddy truck tracks across my floor
Laundry piling up galore
Imperfect photos for decor
These are the things a mom adores

Little feet headed towards my bed
The darnedest things my kids have said
Neatly cut corners on sandwich bread
These are the thoughts occupying my head

Watching as...

When the signal is given,
everyone steps on the line,
ready to start the journey of life.
Some focus on the goal,
striving to be the best.
Another moves on without care,
looking as others pass him by.
Many even cut corners,
cheating their way through the race.
Some may pay dearly for this.
Others...

drink your 5 year old milk,
boy!  I know where you live, stop painting your nails
like a girl, boy!  Aging copper
tones cut corners in my ink-
stained eyes from the lies you told, melted from the heat
surrounding this empty day.  From the dust

the day...

Hunger Spot

Hunger is usually done alone, in the dirty card board box, called home
On wet, cut corners out of traffic, forever in unguarded dark
Winds, harsh voices, howling on hollow self and scene are what remain
The food is gone, never to return
Hunger; it reminds you of...

The ups and downs of life
Can not be cut with a knife 
When the rope is pulled to drag 
You down when your trying to balance both
When times are hard we try to stay a float 
With out braking the bank 
So we start to...

REGRETTING CAKE

My life in crumbles, vanilla-chocolate,
I lick my wounded fingers, tastes so good.
To stay in shape, I frost my lips… de-lish,
Cut corners on the square, I really should.

Regretting cake, from my head down to my feet…
Such a shame it is so sweet, I repeat…
Regretting cake,...

In this race for thick thighs,
Cute faces, and beautiful minds,
Nice guys finish last.
As i give 110 %,
Exherting all of my energy,
Others half-ass, cut corners, and still succeed.
As i read chapters, words cover to cover,
Others pick by flamboyant fronts,
I barely stop for water breaks,
While others sip...

So finally the book is done
You'd think I had some time for fun
The query letters have been sent
There's some cash left to pay the rent
The mail man comes by every day
He waves to me and goes away
You grab the letters stacked inside
At this point you've...

we gather together, a hundred or so
stetching, warming cold muscles, just waiting to go

nervous anticipation, just wanting to start,
we collect our numbers, have a piss, have a fart

as our tummies stir with butterflies and angst
we stand at the starting line a group, a phalanx

a marshall...

I'll take the far way
I won't cut corners
Or take shortcuts
The flesh moves on it's own
The mind understanding stillness
All the past remains set in stone
Thoughts of the future left unknown
Only in the now do I find my home...

Poems About My Poems

Should read my poems and discover design;
You immediately will know they are mine;
Cut corners and curbs;
Only used few verbs;
Not only that they are always mighty fine.

Limericks which I wrote can never be beat;
When read are always will be quite a treat;
History in...

All this time I thought that if I continued to pour my love into you, you'd eventually love me just as much. 
I thought that my love could save you. 
That my love could mend your brokenness.
I gave and I gave and you continued to...

the universe was not built in straight lines ~ only humans cut corners

I loved riding my
bike as a child. It offered
me a new world view.

I was fast and free.
Then we put cards in the spokes,
and I motorcycled.

I cut corners like
a politician and wore
aviator glasses...

I could have passed my
driving test, last year - but nooo
- for once -...
