Best Instead Poems

Sometime instead of pink, I like Red 
Sometime instead of playing with children, 
I want to go on date 

Sometime instead of Fishes, I like Swans
Sometime instead of T-shirt, 
I want to wear Gowns 

Sometime instead of Social problems, 
I like to read Love story...

Instead Of Loving Me As Christ Does…

Instead of stopping by, and thinking of me…
You walked away and thought the worst of me!

Instead of taking the time to ask; “Is anything wrong?”
You got upset and told me; 
“I don’t belong!”

Instead of spending time with me in...

Poetry;
Silence;
Who wants violence?
Dark dreams;
Evil screams,
Hold on strong,
The fight is nearly
gone,
Fighting to breathe,
Fighting to see,
It's hard to believe
this is me,

I never saw myself
falling to the
blade,
But in the end this
is how I'm paid,
Suffering from
tears,
Torn from fears,
All I know is that,
I'm not sure why I'm
here,

Told to live,
But living...

During lunch I announced when I retire I am going to go to jail.
What?
Jail, I repeated. I will rob a bank or something.
The three others laughed. 

Think about it, I told them. How much do nursing homes cost?
They started to think about it and discussed...

Counting Crows
Someone else’s song and dancing anyway
I know that I have my own music
Somewhere singing inside the brightest corner of my soul
HS, as one of my many aunts calls the Holy Spirit,
Whispers	
Way to go
“Nah Nah Nah Na, yeah”
To borrow a lyric...

Instead, I Choose To Honor And Then Gift

Yet another poem, yet another blog
On and on with my poetry I jog
Not to insult others or to degrade
Those with creative creations thus made
Instead, I choose to honor and then gift
Poems given to all and so uplift
Poets and...

Thousands of baby turtles 
followed each other into the sea that day
Where a large turtle-eating dragon 
hid three feet under the surface, waiting.
She gulped them down in droves, 
enjoying their taste. For it was everything!
Sensitive Turtle had a bad feeling about following,
So she strayed north,...

Is your go-to lunch roast beef sandwich?
Tomorrow you might want turkey instead
Here is why
In gen. red meat- such as roast beef

Not as healthy as other kinds of protein
Tends to have more cholesterol
Often has more saturated fat
Both things are bad for your heart

Eating too much red...

His food was ready to be served without hesitating
His bath was drawn and his slippers laid out 
I went out of my way preparing for him all day
"BUT" when arrived to my "SUPRISE"
He came home as a Monster instead 
The gentleness I once knew was...

Write a poem…

1.
I'm not without passion,
I keep it controlled.
To temper the action,
that's my role.
Not to say I am passive,

don't care to relate.
If I need to elevate, 
the key I keep 
is to where flame 
burns deep.

2.
Summer is ending.
Where did it go,
maybe the cicadas know,
singing their...

In my car with the soft top down
Driving down an old country road
I’m taking it all in but my head’s about to explode

When you looked at me that way
I can still remember the very day
I find myself smiling just thinking of you
The world through your...

competition instead of cooperation
we are growing they say 
but how 

are we growing fat  in hatred
or are we growing slim 
in love 

we are growing they say 
but how 

are we growing big in lies 
Or small in truth 

yet we are growing 
I...

On television movie "Dirty Dancing" again
To tell honest truth I felt warm after glow
This looked like a fun thing to do from where I stood
I thought and on my "Bucket List" it will go

But when I moved from my sitting stance_no_no way
Even though this "Dirty...

Almost forty and I feel as if I'm in my prime. I look up to the ones I love and admire, and see their downward decline.  Granddad, who's done more than his share of living, slowly has things stripped away. Cadillac sits parked. Ladders...

INSTEAD OF WAR
HISTORY IS A MYSTERY TO HUMANITY,
SOME KNOWN WITH AN EVIDENCE,
SOME UNKWOWN WITHOUT A TRACE,
PEOPLE EAGER TO KNOW WHY LIFE IS WHAT IT IS NOW?
IN OUR STRUGGLE TO LIVE,
WE GOT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT SENCE IT MAKES TO LIVE WITHOUT WAR,
THE HIGHEST STUPIDITY OF MAN...
