Best Disrespects Poems


Premium Member A Message From the Sea
I set the stage for tropical romance;
among my rocks have sirens’ songs been sung.
Yet some who dare to traverse my expanse
into the briny depths of me are flung.

Inconstant as the sun that comes and goes,
I’m calm as windless day or still of night;
then furious as...

It Started Off As Fun
It all started as fun like it usually does
Back when she was a great girl who'd always been beautifully loved
Way back before she'd been brutally touched 
She goes out weekly and has a few drink like most teens
She doesn't let boys get close, only in...

Premium Member Hope For Respect
My thought for this day,
although still early,
is respect for hope.

Respect for our interdependence
and respect for our challenging differences,
important, yet hopefully not as powerful
as our interdependent love for healthy life.

Yesterday
I noticed a brown cardboard box
in the corner of a reception area
for our Infectious Disease Clinic
with a...

Steven
He has the biggest heart.

He enjoys doing things for other people

Just because it’s the right thing to do, and

Knowing he made someone happy makes him happy too.

He’ll do whatever he can to satisfy

Everyone around him.

But what about himself?



He always says the right things at the...

The Cruel- Beautiful World
I am here 
In a different time and place
In which tears of joy of one
Unfolds the tears of discrimination of another
Such a cruel and beautiful place 
This world can be
Such happiness and melancholy 
It can cause 
To trade the laughter of a hundreds 
With the...

Brave Less
Coward, are those
Who are afraid of change
For change might deprive them
Their Freedom, their Democracy
The liberty to choose
The liberty to live
The liberty not to do such duties and obligations
The liberty to stir the law
The liberty to engage in such activities
That provides them the luxury of life

Coward,...

Mother's Delight
A little boy was born to his mother’s delight
The most precious face ever placed in her sight

 Instantly smitten when she saw his baby blues
 His contagious laughter and a smile she couldn’t refuse.

As time went on her baby boy was growing into a man
It...

Self Ok
Self annuity, that one fray
that disrespects its disarray,
what wrong I learned from, must relay
to self's apportion, not obey!

The slavery of respect's allay
that merits pride, admits convey
to stifling, while my greatest aye
is understanding doubt's dismay!

The mass of reverence, scant to faith,
admit my fault, except, convent,
experienced lessons...

A Goose Tale Is Not a Gooseberry
A goose in a noose got loose today. At last. At times he had watched as bodies of his fellow feathers had been brought out of the shed having walked in just fine. On the promise of a treat. And then crushed. Defeat. Strung. He...

Letter To My Son
Son,  to be a man,
You need to listen to men.
You will get experience straight from the horse's mouth about manhood. 
Have more dignity and rationality with women,
It will make you a commendable son and husband. 
And you need to respect your elders,
It will win...

A lifetime of love,
Our joyous expectation
Until Death knocked at our door.

We, entranced by love
Were guilty of forgetting
Death disrespects promises.

So Incorrect

He loves being incorrect,
politically and otherwise
He revels in how bad he disrespects
anybody who don’t agree with him
His supporters staunchly defend
all of his boorish behavior
His critics call those supporters,
his crutch enablers,
who don’t have a leg to stand on
If you don’t believe me:
give the Tweet Man your...

Premium Member Proverb
men hate the truth
but god knows it all
wisdom is to descend
between good and evil
knowledge is to cultivate 
from the ability and potentiality
so sow no violence
and reap no evil
for mistakes are the
cause of failure
the love of wealth
hatred and jealousy
disrespects the integrity 
selfishness and greediness
are the anxieties...

When Solar Flares
When Solar Flares

Give The Sun Citations when it disrespects the laws of nature
For not following ways of man at all cost and cause and case
No matter what your rules might indicate
A certain fate awaits

Space between all atoms is enormous
The reason we don’t walk through walls
Or...
