Best Go By The Book Poems

Democracy now that is a laugh
When the voting is all stacked with graft
And I will give you a plug
If you punch out that lug
If you believe me you’re really daft!

You say you’re poor and you’re not real able
To put food and some bucks on the...

We don’t have much in common
We don’t think the same
I prefer the sunshine
And you like the rain
I’d rather read a book
While you watch TV
But in the bedroom
We have Chemistry

You are conservative
I’m a liberal
I am always on the move
You keep standing still
You have few close friends
I...

Once upon a time
Just to enlighten my mind
I crawled in to a book
To take a closer look
Right there between the pages
A story for all ages
Scrambling over each word
Hoping imagination would stir
I came to the word "market"
Fell in on a magic carpet
Went flying up and down
He...

Touch my flowing spirit, if you can.
It dances on highest treetops, 
So that very few ever can.
It sits laughing atop the lotus tree!
Waiting for you to go close your book.
Life does not live there, don't
you see?
It's in my elusive laughter.
And my own poetic pedigree!

When the coven of ill-willed women seek revenge,
from anyone they deem too big for their britches,
They go to the book of sorcery for witches,
In the book, they seek deliverance from women
who shine brighter than morning stars,
looking for panaceas and disasters,
Brews that could curl their hair...

If I could see you just one more day,
I'd beg and plead for you to stay,

I'd tell you all the things you've missed,
We'd laugh and cry and reminisce.

We'd go to the book store at 6:00 in the morning,
No matter if it's snowing or...

TRAITOR TRASH

               Steals and Deals
Whether Republican or Democrat it doesn't matter much
Both sides are using President as their anti voting crutch
Make America "great again" rang true for millions strong
The danger is...

As this train will come to a stop unexpectedly in the happy hour, 
And the station is a thousand miles more, yet not there but, 
The urge to go back and book again, but how? 
True, nobody can know, nobody will know 
That Lions and...

I go to face book and with few friends she is still there
as she died early spring never to be erased
to me she was a mentor and I loved her
taking the time to read me at ninety three of age
she was fabulous and more surrounded...

I am bored with nothing, for my life
is filled with love and joy and things to do.
At times I’m dealing with a lot of strife,
but boredom surely beats my feeling blue!

I hear kids tell their parents, “I’m so bored.”
It’s maddening they can’t see that time’s...

Watch T.V., so you don't have to think.


I could be dead tomorrow, but today I'm alive,
So right now, I truly am willing to strive;
To get all I want, before death comes to take me,
So show me Heaven on Earth, you beautiful lady.


But don't give me...

It’s morning… slowly.
I’m fine,
A real fine thing
(Small miracle, luck, 
Whatever).

A hard night costs, we know 
Hours that lengthen forever 
Between dreams 
We don’t remember
(But we know).

Little by little 
I'm better though-
Sun's wrapping warmth 
About me (in ways
Old hands know),
Soothing nightmares, 
Working out kinks.
Like a river,...

~A New Beginning at Dusk~

Two people walking along the ocean’s rising tide
Singing a lullaby to the sea gulls as they kiss the day good-bye
Two people learning who they are all over again
And all the while knowing that their dreams are starting to make sense
Two souls...

"What I Accomplished Today"
I finished my new poem book today.
A real kicker of a book.
By Jimmy Boo Semtex.
So do beware when you read these pages.
You may just go book.
My new book is called Picnic.
And is a bit mad.
Satire delight world leader cliches.
Making love.
We've all been...

himself in a mess. As a politician he was economical with the truth. He did not tell a 

lie, or break the law its true. But you know what...
