Best Die Has Been Cast Poems
Private RomeoRomeo Jaxx had a friend for a fool
So he never thought "Baby's in love."
He fought for his rights
and he slept through your dreams
With his self-centred wolverine paralysed
Drove out of the camp on a bright summer's day
waving last weekend's pass-out goodbye
Phoned Jenny, then Julie, who...

Tombstone InscriptionsOne of the best inscriptions, ”I Told You I Was Sick”
Another was “I Was Hoping For A Pyramid” I pooped a brick
Even in death humor lasts
When the die has been cast
“Once I wasn't, then I was, now I ain't again”, that one clicked...

The CoachTHE COACH

Went to an alumni meeting last week
Looking for solace, the outlook was bleak
We lost a game we should have won
A total disaster to all not just some
Cries of anguish torrents of pain
“How the hell did we lose that game”
Three close...

I Remember“I remember...” an old man said,
“When the first shot rang out,
When the rebels held their stead,
The British bullets flew about,
And through our ranks they sped.”
Though soldiers fall and cannons shout,
The Flag flies proud and strong, no doubt.
“I remember…” a drummer boy said,
“When the blood of...

Ten Years Ago, Eleven SeptemberTen years ago, on Eleven September
more than three thousand died,
we should always remember
There was no warning, that fateful day
when those planes hit the towers,
it shall never go away
The Pentagon rumbled, then was on fire
more people died,
with more funeral pyres
The Brave men and women, on flight...

A Tribute To TazWhen I met Taz, he was full grown
A perfect example of his breed
Well taken care of and so loved
Everyone would have to concede.
Although there were many with him
Only one to him was devine
Judy was simply his whole world
Shortly, she would also be mine
The time...

Past PatternsPatterns of our past may or may not
reveal that the die has been cast.
However, such revelations may give
clues to the real you.
When navigating the path of our dreams,
we long to unravel and make sense of every
scene. We remember the visions we had seen.
While gazing into...

This Ol' HouseThis ol' house where I was born and raised,
Had no insulation and weren't double glazed.
Had a slanted slate roof, it leaked now and then,
Lots of places where you could build a den.
Had a cellar all dark and fearful to be,
Going down those stone steps really...

Alice and MeI remember when I first met her.
I was the new girl in town.
Alone and feeling dejected,
For a friend I was casting around.
I'd been welcomed at church by many,
Though I knew they'd not have the time,
If I stopped by for a visit,
For most others were of...

Night TerrorsI slumber, I sleep, so deep and oh so long
I feel a force pulling me down, down, something's wrong.
Its dark, as dark as pitch but strangely I still can see,
shadows pass, I'm scared, the faint light calls to me.
I'm being pursued and I know not...

Wish Upon a StarMy heart beats out loud,
So far he can't hear
All i want is one wish upon a star,
To be there,
To be near.
To look in his eyes,
And know that he's mine,
Because i promise you
We've got nothing but time.
But life's not like that
So i'll shed a tear,
Watch as...

Sweet MemoriesI met him accidentally
While on an errands run
Got into his space literally
With my hands heavily laden
And steadied me he did; tenderly
Looking up at my savior
Left me awestruck and dumbfounded
With my mouth as a dried up reservoir
Gazing up to him like one long retarded
As my heart...

A Father's Lament - To My ChildrenThe die have been cast
The cards have been played
I can't reconcile
Decisions I've made
Made out of love
And not out of spite
I won't say I'm sorry
Though I'm feeling contrite
When you were young
I was a god
As you grew older
I was just odd
It just goes to show
What a difference...
