Best Give Them An Inch Poems

Those who stand their ground...
Their sacred ground...
With their backs against the wall.
Making bold their full intentions
While the slings and arrows fall.

Laying waste an air of happenstance
Permeating sick and feeble minds...
Caring not the monstrous odds
The powers of darkness have aligned.

I fear not this mass of troubled...

	Unquotable quotes – VII

What comes in through one ear goes out through the rear.
Give him a wench and, he’ll want her to be French.
Give him an inch and he’ll take no small pinch.
Better be swallowed by a whale than be torn to shreds by a...

Ignorance is bliss
They say
There was a time
I would disagree
Believing in transparency
Being the key
I’m older now
Wiser
I understand
That sometimes you can’t walk away
And so you determine
That what you don’t know
Can’t hurt you
If you turn a blind eye
And play the fool
And believe…
That ignorance is bliss

You build for yourself...

Its not about how good you are its all about being liked 
give them an inch of gossip watch how they get psyched
sticking together like a band of thieves ignoring the rest,  
they believe what they hear and never put it to the test;

Its...

pray to God but row to shore
praise His name forever more
for He will always see us thru
each and everything we do

pray to God but row to shore
His love will last forever more
as He helped Peter walk on the sea
He'll do the same for you and...

As my heart goes black,
I feel as if there's nothing to say,
It's just another page turned.
Society wouldn't care.
They wouldn't care if I put that blade to my wrist and slit.
She's just suicidal they'd say,
They would say I was crazy, and only wanted attention,
But that's just...

Playing to an empty room all alone,
a symphony of personality;
No one there except typing on their phone,
I could give every single inch of me;

Speaking my truth to someone with a miss, 
so I freeze up and cannot move forward; 
Being human means being more than...

If I give you an inch, and you give one back, I'll proceed to give you a foot,
When you step out for me, I'll step out for you, that love was all it took,
That foots connected to my leg, that step turns into walking,
And when...

Wasps and bees and grasshopper knees waiting to sting and scratch,
Give them an inch and they respond with stings and holes to patch.

Wren and finch and grosbeak syrinx waiting to burst with song,
Give them a glance and they reply with lusty sings-a-along.

Frogs and toads and...

I was born pretty and smart and kind
according to my culture's standards.

So I've been expected to have certain social graces
I just don't have.

Pisses some peops off when I don't act like they want me to.
Don't like to piss people off, so in past have tried...

To newlyweds just starting out,
live long and learn what love's about.
To those whose time is winding down,
embrace the smile, dismiss the frown.
To those who watch in weary wait,
eyes open wide decide your fate.
To those who work and toil each day,
grasp fleeting chance to get away.
For...

Shivering like that 
I would never leave you out; 
You don’t need to knock, 
come to me stay warm within;
Dive in, you’re the scent of home; 

As close as can be
we’ll just heat one another; 
Melting the frozen,
love is a thief of cold nights; 
Suddenly...

Who is that? The cats-in-waiting asked Queen Cat.
“Captain Tom, don’t give him an inch of your time.”
But he was handsome, dapper, and smelled of the sea.
They sensed tuna, salmon and cod on his fur.
He was truly irresistible, so they crowded around him.
“Ladies!” Captain Tom said....
