Best Judge Poems

The congregation eyed him skeptically
     Long hair, a beard and sandals on his feet
Beyond his exterior they’d not see
     This rambler had just come in from the street

He blessed himself with the sign of the cross

In Search of 50 Names(couplets alphabetized for ease of footnoting the names)

A) A tom cat sits in heather nearby a willow tree.
Rose and jasmine fill the air. A billy goat I see.

B) 50 words that sound like names I seek. A pail I carry.
I wade...

Why do you give me a hard look from your face?
that you don't like what you see?
that I'm from a different race?

Why can't we see eye to eye?
why do I disgust you,
like you don't wanna be near me
would you please tell me?
tell me why you...

For a little poem I do perform
A depth defying feat.
By all accounts I do seem shallow
Upon a surface read.

But before that N/A switch is flicked,
Let me percolate;
What once was shallow, when you dive in,
Becomes a spring fed lake.

My God knows the way I am.
He knows my every thought.
He knows the things I've said and done,
And seen the dreams I've sought.

He knows my heart for what it is,
Knows each and every mood,
Depending not on what He's heard,
From those who think me crude;

For Man...

Don’t judge me because I am not like you
We are all human, but different too
We have our experiences and ways we cope
To survive life’s curves and slippery slope
Sometimes, we try our best and still fall
Other times, it is easy to stand tall
Some days feel heavy,...

Do not judge me, you have not walked in my shoes

Some people think knots are for boy scouts and sailors
Cowboys, hangmen,Anglers and whalers
But knots have many jobs to do
To make this point I'll name a few

turning two heavy ropes into one?
The Carrick bend will get that done.

Do you need a loop at your rope's end?

As we stroll through life at a slow snail pace,
Or Lickety split... whichever the case,
Remember to look, sift through your life,
God didn't make junk, not husband nor wife!

The children may stray, get out of line,
Look like pure trash but grow to be fine.
So judge not...

There are those who have fallen
in the eyes of this world,
one’s “sins” more damaging than the next.
“Skeletons from closets”
so ruthlessly hurled
and so many people are left vexed.

Now I do not condone
all that comes to light
whether by papers, radio or TV.
But what if it was YOU
whose...

A short little guy,
walks by,
"please don't mind me,"
he wobbles.

His shadowed face it asks,
"is it five o'clock already?"
He hasn't had a meal,
his belly rumbles.

He sits outside the local market,
waving at each passing patron,
how busy they are,
ignoring his kind gestures.

His kindness is mistook,
with leers of suspicions,
just a...

Dont judge me for mistakes Ive made
Sins I have commited or games I have played,
Dont judge me for the things I say
Some things slip we have those days,
Do not judge me because of my past
Change happens but not always fast,
Dont judge me when i fall
For...

A colorful tapestry is every life
Painted in shades of fun and strife.
Every vivid shade of a bright tomorrow
Enhanced in depth by hues of sorrow.

Therefore it is every writer's goal
To explore the depth of mankind's soul.
Writing about the good, the bad or indifferent
Does not define his...
