Best Edgewise Poems

Fight hard 
as long as you're not too defensive
or worse, stronger than him
so we can't tell that he hit you
so we don't have to pick up your slack

Speak your mind
as long as your voice isn't louder than his
or worse, too assertive or contradicting it
so you...

Now you know all of us
were endowed by our Creator
with different various gifts,
some of us can write, some of
us can draw, some of us just sit,
but there's a special brand out
there that are very good at chit-chat,
they're partly vegetarian but mostly carnivorous,
as you try hard...

Whenever there are cold cruel cries
Times of India appears in full-size
For help of common to criticize
All unjust, biased  and unfair ties.
All articles or poems to visualize 
Are supplied freely by the Wise.
We feel after reading it energize
Quench of knowledge here pacifies.
All sort of news...

January Sunrise

Arresting carnations through divulged eyes,
o'er bursting citrus stretching a punchbowl
--drapes prized quilt of January's Sunrise.

Underneath confident amorphous skies,
a year dawns, snowdrops grow in icy knoll.
Arresting carnations through divulged eyes,

fan a nippy faint frost neath earth's disguise,
since a chilled session saunters in its role
--drapes prized...

There's a George in every neighborhood, although in yours, he may go by another 
name. 

George can be found pacing the sidewalks looking for neighbors to pounce upon 
with his purple-heart stories so you'd best go inside before he sees you!  

Be aware that...

A man, 20 years of age, another man, 40 years of age

The young man in his inexperience asks the 40 year old man
"You've lived twice my life, whats your advice?"
The older man pauses
Reflecting on his own life, in hindsight..
He says:

It is said by many
The best...

Kermit went into space one day aboard that illustrious rocket X.
Miss Piggy wasn’t far behind, so as to be there with her man.
Those W.I.E.R.D. frogs of mine, came along, hitching, for the ride.
Can you imagine what any aliens would think, finding them inside?

Of course, they...

This just in, we are long drawn out drab sentences of our breath,
trying to base a topic off epiphany's languid scry, waiting on osmosis to spark a nerve.

Crinkled pages, termites gnawing on pencils, saw dust.
Failed improvs to deliver colloquial precedence, un performed characters with ventriloquist...

shared a strange reality made from footsteps
the land of spirit being open to improvisation
with existence a fountain of plenty for all
too much meaning too much of the time
is it not true to the self of selves that
suffering to one is suffering to all 
they patiently...

Darling,
I should like to do something more helpful
about this continuing feminization,
marginalization,
disparagement of full integrative value
for cooperatively-owned and managed
ecopolitical corporations,
incorporations
bio- and eco-systems.

Good idea, love.
How do you think,
or feel,
or whatever you intuitively do,
this competitive infestation
of patriarchal dominance
began?

I always assumed
this was a virginal matriarchal womb
creation story
of cooperative Paradise...

falling on deaf ears 
       can’t get a word in edgewise 
       ~  now they see my point...

Let me please
Speak my peace
All ears
On me
All eyes
Because I never get a word out
Edgewise 
It’s not my place
To get in your face
Causing a big scene
Because you never bring your speech
To cease
To let your mouth
And mind 
Recline
But this time
I ask 
I plead
Please
Hear me out
While you stop
To...

Everybody has them - whether they admit it or not.
Sometimes they're the same - as what others have got.
Whether it's a lack of communication - or not getting a word in edgewise.
Pretending to be someone you're not - being always in disguise.

Trying to get into...

Some people always thinking –

They know what they are talking about –

Always trying to show you – 

Always trying to show out.



They think they have it figured –

Their head getting bigger – 

Can’t tell them they are wrong –

They can’t take it, they aren’t that...
