Best Gotta Poems

I think no stimulus could be
as potent as the one to pee.
A feeling frequent and innate
is this - the urge to urinate.
It comes each day to everyone
at work, at play, or on the run.

It comes sometimes as home you drive,
and soon you're hoping to survive
the...

Love’s journey, joy and tears,
Guided by grace through all the years.
Gotta love, in every guise,
Each chapter cherished, beneath the skies.

True love with God, tranquil and pure,
Promises eternal, pristine and sure.
Divine devotion, a destined delight,
Faithful forever, in the Father's light.

Memories murmur, melancholy in pairs.
Gone is the...

These days my home is a disaster where no neatness is mastered.
For years I did the spic and span scene for a spouse who notices 
only the TV screen and our part alien, completely annoying teens.
I eventually deciphered my efforts made none of them nicer...

If she doesnt call you 
[ Its because she is waiting for you to call her ] 
When she walks away from you mad 
[ Follow her ] 
When she stare's at your mouth 
[ Kiss her ] 
When she pushes you or hit's you...

Raped and Molestated in childhood, 
   Abused and Misused in pre-adulthood,
     Alone and confused they stood; feeling
       like tainted goods.

 Let their soul cry, maybe then; they can
  regain their pride.

Wolf mama here.
howling
taking care of business
feeding my cubs
tearing apart others
seeing them as food
Wolf mama here

cubs see me as playful
i can be
the hidden mom of me
well tucked-in when
the time comes
to turn other creatures
into food.

Wolf mama here
warning i am wise
and stealthy and
when i take a prisoner

Gotta hate somebody;
someone's always wrong.
Gotta hate somebody;
we just can't get along.

If it ain't for the color,
it'll be for the creed.
We judge the deed by the doer
and not the man by the deed.

Well, draw the line and pick a side:
There's only black and white.
We both stand...

Books to the library
photos to family.
Paint cans and lumber
from renovations years ago.
Most of the furniture
including the piano.
Fastest way to do this
is rent a dumpster.

On the internet
nothing’s permanent.
I like that.
Photosynthesis, evaporation
as if your spirit disappears
when the sun appears.
It’s a burden lifted
not to have to persevere.

Edits
for clarity

DAMN it, you stupid old fart!
Why did you pull out THAT cart?
That cart with the wobbly front wheel
And it squeaks! (How embarrassed I feel)
Oops! Beg your pardon sweet ma'am
Yes, I know who I think that I am
(Crash) Oh good god mercy me

I feel like writing some material

To see if it's for real

Desperation setting in

Knocking me out like at the beginning

Trespassing, on the intrusive messaging

Who am I fooling ?

If only my thoughts were elusive

Maybe then I wouldn't be so exclusive

Should not stop my verses,

Can't handle these curses

Laughter is infectious, laughter is the key
To a long happy life, with smiles guaranteed
A life filled with joy
For all girls and boys
Sorry, must end this, gotta go pee!

What I’ve got against the rain is not the drippy wet,
because it hasn't melted me, well, at least not yet.
It’s those clouds!
Gloomy shrouds.
I’d rather soak up sunshine and turn it into sweat....
