Best Downside Poems
The Downside of Being a Poet-UneditedPoets have a greater capacity
to express love and longing
painting pictures of passion's pleasures
They excite and ignite the imagination
That's the beauty of being a poet
Poets are so steeped in the need for beauty in wording
that they use their talents even in posts
Weaving wonder with words
they make...

The Downside To An Up-Hill BattleWhy don’t you go along with me when it’s so obvious that I am right?

I know that you are only...

Upside Down and Downside UpUpside down
and downside up
trucks come and go
and never stop
they swish and sway
the alligator way
hoping to play
so they can stay
Oh how they want
to be wild and free
so they can play the alligator way....

The Downside To LoveYou drive me crazy,
I can't control myself,
You make me so mad,
I can't think straight,
You give me whiplash,
I hate you so much for that.
But I can't hate you.
You are my saviour,
I owe you everything,
You make me so happy,
I never want it to end,
You help me...

Downside of SpringOn the frigid wings of the northern breeze
waned winter with frayed feathers flies away,
clears the mist from shining sky out of freeze,
song of birds brings life in ambiance grey.
On silken leaves’ cradle blooming buds glow,
with cascade of color petals unfold,
zephyr...

The Downside of Restraintthough the two
held in their extreme
horniness, there was
no hiding that look in
their eyes---that one
where the want to tear
off the clothes of
said hot body was
one which brought
them carnally back to
the roll in the hay of
their ancestors &
for a minute, there
was no doubt between
the...

Downside SpringSo, sure, the sun shines brightly every morn,
And birds will share, with all their brilliant tunes;
Amazing colored flowers will adorn
What once were gray and blah and lifeless dunes.
Admittedly it’s warmer in the day,
And cloudless skies can cheer the weary heart,
And gentle breezes whisk the blues...

Downside Up SnowmanLodged on a high valley in this far town
People like to turn the world upside down
In winter sky overturns
The snow cover children churn
Snowmen they make do something new on own.
A fat snowman comes to park downside up
Sniffing the frozen ground with red nose sharp
To stay...

A Downside of AdulthoodWhatever you discover,
It’s the grown-up thing to share it
And when others flaunt their joy in it,
You have to grin and bear it.
For there really is no reason
To keep secret what you’ve found
When some other folks can benefit
From how you’ve worked the ground.
Still, there might be...

Smile Turned Downside UpMoments of despair with anguish and resent unroll,
With the touch of some cold memories and decontrol,
They crumble my heart and I feel ruffled again.
As ripples when they waveringly resurface,
I try and held myself against them and brace.
Once again I play a silent war with...

The Downside of Not VotingIf you don't vote,
Extremists will take note,
And politicians will seek a different coloured coat,
As extremists become more eager to vote,
With your absence at the polling booth giving them hope,
That democracy will work in their favour,
And their words will be the only ones of...
