Best Do It Poems

It had been a long night, an hour drive just to be with my sister. One must stay in touch with family; it’s the right thing to do. I don't even know what movie we saw. Here she was again in all her glory whining,...

How might you feel if you chose life that strayed away from discontent?
I wonder, would you smile awhile or hatch new schemes to circumvent?
Do you believe we have the choice to “live!” despite our circumstance,
and love our lives through thick and thin; even in our...

Roll back the joy of golden, painted years.
Hold me in that rapture, of joyful cascading tears.

Place the engagement ring on my soft hand.
Allow me to hear the notes of passion’s band.

Oh, how deeply in love in the City by the Bay we were!
Then~abruptly dismissed by...

Quote.( Do not know who originated it, but used in the family at all times.)

"If your going to do something do it properly"





There was an old man called McGinn
Put all his refuse waste in one bin
It should have been sorted
His reasoning is thwarted
In clearing up...

This recently happened to me.
I didn’t recover very well from it. 
I just sat there
naked, 
embarrassed, 
while 
while my partner got dressed 
and walked out on me.

She was shaking her head 
in disbelief on the way out. 

Here is what happened. 

We are in the...

If I'm not normal should I conform
and seek to perform as all do
or should I reach to perfect my form
and be how I was born true 

There's safety in numbers
but this one wonders
if one mind wanders 
walks afar in sunder
while others slumber
standing to ponder
previous blunders
could...

Yes, Let's Do it. Election Insanity.
....................

Yes! Let us have all felons vote!
Better yet, let's muddy the "Swamp"
Have known killers run for Congress.
Perhaps, even be our President.
Indeed, the Americans have gone looney.

Must be chugging down really cheap wine.
Or smoking tons of powerful Ganga.
Don't forget the OxyContin...Whooh!
Let's...

Mix the meters
Color the cadence
Intermingle the breaks of line
Torture the iambs
Scent the flowers
Tint the edges of sunrise
Mellow the moonbeams
Offer an invitation
A subtle “come hither”
Of mystery
Slowly close the door
As you are drawn
Into inky shadows
Left alone
To fathom
The cut, fit and drape
Of garments
Woven with words
Stitched with secrets

I have survived trauma, Cancer, Lyme disease, Head Traumas,
Many surgeries, bowel obstruction and infection
For those with health issues, life can really hit rock bottom
Pain can be unbearable and also be ongoing
Near death experiences are as scary as can be
But, I tell you this because you...

Your fingers play a tune
Only my body can dance to
Your lips emit a craze
Only my lips can answer to
Your heart pulls the strings 
Only my heart can respond to

Play the tune, so that my body can dance,
Emit the craze, that my lips can answer,
Pull the...

When sucked into a novel,
What I think, as I glide through it,
Is how, oh how, I’d love to ask,
How did the author do it?

Creating all the characters
And scenes, like someone drew it,
It’s hard to wrap my mind around – 
How did that writer do it?

The...

You have to know he is near, you have to know he is around
Perhaps sensing it in your fear or the feeling of being bound
You never know what he will do or what other things he'll try
But he's out to destroy you because he wants...

The longer I live,
Take from and give
This extraordinary life Divine;
Despite all the shackles 
We try hard to tackle
New mountains and vistas to climb. 
And reach for the wonder,
New meaning and thunder 
In the rain and the pain and the chill;
The longer I live, 
Take from...

When you are young do it all.
Every single thing you ever dreamed of doing.
Because when you are older
The inclination is there, but the knees are not.
The teeth are crumbling.
The back wants to sleep.

Seize your opportunities.
Let no one talk you out of them.
Limit yourself to no...
