Best First Aid Kit Poems

There's A knock on my door,
 I ask "who is there". ?
Standing there are five faces. . 
They answer" IN UNISON "Truth"
I ask" Why the disguise"...?
It is I,"Truth" they all refrain.
 
How will I know which one of
you is to cross my threshold,
Let us all...

I know my capabilities
But, you won't get it like that.
I know how I love
But, I can't love you like that.
You're just a dog
Trying to catch the cat.
I'll blow back your braids.
 hand you your hat.
Beat you down with a bat.
 F*** that!!
Knick, knack, patty wack.
Your...

Let's Have Some Fun Contest

I'll admit being green is not the easiest thing, 
    a frog looks very silly in a broken arm sling.

Yesterday Fozzie got a job singing at Shamrock Bar,
    I told him I would...

You’re the world’s worst hiking buddy
How did we end up so muddy
Not even sure we can scrub it!

How would I know
Can’t stick my hand in that hole
I thought you had the first aid kit

Yea I dragged a little back
Put too much in my pack
Still we...

"SLIPPING AWAY" -Switchfoot

Remember coming home at four in the morning
Before the sun was up
Back when the east was a fire of gold
Just waiting for the rest of the sky to fall in love

Our hope is just a metaphor, of something better
For...

“I’ve always honored and admired the strength of our men and women in combat” 
But saying ‘thank you’ always seemed kind of trite, how could I show my true 
gratitude

I’m just an ordinary man, nothing to brag about just a guy in the crowd
But one...

Alpha Bet Cap Cha

Just twenty six letters of the english language to whit
twisted in various & sundry combinations pit
this bull dog of a canonical wordsmith with true grit
to craft bone a fide filigreed grammatical parts of speech fit
together against their verbose will

Lady dearest, fair Romeo, is this the name
the title you wish to bestow upon me
or is it one shared among multiple hearts shot at by multiple nets
I ask only in truth, in search of truth, in confidence
for I know you dare not tread the line...

My Aunty, Patricia, she travels the land,
her bag of in-cases gripped firmly in hand.
The contents of which are largely unknown;
although just a few I've sometimes been shown:
One small first aid kit
in case of a cut, sting, or zit.
Two bottles of gin
in case her horses come...

Now, when was the last time we met?
Oh, how could I forget?
It cost you the crown!
Now you're back for more debt?
Girl please!
Last time, I had you down on your knees,
Like a tease!
Don't you remember..or..do you have ALZHEIMERS disease?
Why would you ever want to cross my...

Winnipeg
Every day you drive down my street, through my neighborhood, anticipating the day we'll infinitely meet
I tried to ignore the feelings I've felt since the moment I walked into your convenient store but it ever holds the creative precipice of something more 
You stood less...

A dying woman's suicide note. 

While writing,
I am trying to find a reason to live.
Amidst this chaos of heartbreaks, 
A coward have I become!

I have forgotten how sweet 
The bell of hope rings; 
When the finger of God has already
Inscribed 'DOOM' on the walls of...

Look closer now:
In just a point --
All things abide


First aid kit
Small cut;
Blood ooze colours


Bad dream
Nightmare taunting;
Fear intervenes


Out of sync
With myself;
A flu bout mangles


Back home Wednesday
Nursing jet lag;
Sleepy adjustment


Home sweet home
Notice the aura;
Rest works best


Diary entries
Messy thought flow;
So much babbling


Souvenirs collected
Keepsakes to tuck away;
Memory milestones


Gifts for...

Some say that black is white
Others say that sadness is delight
Some say that right is wrong
Others say that short is long

I need a nonsensical antidote
Where is the first aid kit?

Some say that light is heavy
Others say that huge is tiny
Some say that evil is good
Others...

My mister right
My mister wrong 
Break my heart, and put up a fight
Then sing me a sad song.
Say you over me.
Then start crying over me. 
Say I ain't nothin to you, 
But I'm your everything too.
The memories you done forgot.
Then say they preserved and won't...
