Best Insist Poems
Well If You Insist
Well if you insist
I am not the color of my skin or the clothes on my back.
I am not who or what you assume me to be.
I am not a foul mouthed gun toting beer swigging cigarette smoking menace to society.
I am not a high school drop-out uneducated crime committing felon....

Some People Insist
Some people insist that I keep writing limericks
Don't want to overstay my welcome in this mix
So I'll write a few
But back off, phew!
Unless of course youse guys start throwing big bricks

If You Insist
I ran into the room, said, "Do I smell bacon?",
but couldn't decipher the smirk Jim was making.
"Sure, if that's what you wanna call it!
Hey, why not stuff your gullet?",
and like a true American I was taken....

Insist...Resist
This is so surreal
How do I deal
With a man that cares
And catches me unawares.
Caught me by surprise
He refuses to disguise
This love he has for me.
Says it is meant to be.
He is loving and kind
To my faults he is blind
He sees something good
Says I am misunderstood.
He wants me for...

I Insist
A place to sit, to insist the other exist.
Instinct ink; a brief connection to persist the other exist.
A place to relieve myself from this brief connection.
Instinct ink; a recollection of all things beneath.
A place to sit, and the smell at my feet reminds of all the visits paid my grave state.
I insist, a place to...

But Time Came To Your Side, Saying, Now I Insist
But Time Came To Your Side, Saying, Now I Insist
Fate, know this far deeper thought- stay alive I must
For one shallow day, die I become bone and dust
Silent, so calmly asleep, turn I into stone
Beneath green pastures, weeping I for her alone
As fleeing winds, moan when hearing my futile cries
I that so deeply weep,...

Insist
Why do people react to the verb insist?
Most of them, I noticed, take it as insulting.
Have lotta men 'round me. I can resist.
So cut out your attitude. It's not exulting.
So you tend to think if you are that rich
Every woman would immediately want you?
But did you come to think how to enrich
Your game? Here's something...

Experts Insist On a Bovine Contribution In the War Against Climate
I'm Olive, a once flatulent cow.
Spinach is all I eat now.
That silly green grass
is a thing of the past,
for a new wind is blowing this hour.
To methane reduction all power!
If you're a cow too,
show assent by a moo.

What could be odder
than this switch to new fodder?...

Insist Long List of Rascist
what they did insist
must add them to a longlist
those they call racist's
would not let him in
lonely little men had been
from knee came some skin
a nomenclature
does exist in all nature
pretty when mature
had heard sound of train
had looked through my window pane
saw small deer in rain
would hear whippoorwill
which was always such a thrill
nighty had a slight chill...

Insist To Regain
I am trying to view a dream
I can make you again revive
By the magic of my words
I can give you a new life
I know my effort is true
I am working on true art
Fiction say moon is immortal
Fact say moon is not immortal
But in the world of fiction
I am making your alive sketch
My passion now passing...

I insist that you see me
for who I am,
even if it hurts.
Because my humanity
is worth more than your comfort....
