Best Jump The Gun Poems


Melting
The snow is melting in the sun
While strollers stroll and runners run.
The thaw, it feels like, has begun
But we can’t get too cozy.

For way before the melting’s done
And kids have had their snowball fun,
The weather wheel just might be spun
And things won’t look so rosy.

In...

I'M Tired of Pretending Part 1
I wish nothing more than to quit this game of pretend
I want to go back to being me, and forget whatever happened
I play pretend
Like a little girl who plays dress up.
I play pretend
To be an innocent little girl again
I play pretend
To make everyone happy
To make...

Lets Be Civil
im awkwardly facing an officer, dont know what to expect
will we both jump the gun and start a civil unrest
will the tone of my skin be a story for press?
who’s the first to throw a stone with no sins to confess?
preachers and deacons finally come...

Premium Member A Thankful Life
Time to think, a pondering, non action's prime.

Thank you Life for the always affirmative actions of folks with intent sublime.
~Thank you for the good intentions of the pure pacifist’s present lifetimes. 
~~Thank you for their prayers, non action relates richly random over time.

Thank you Heaven,...

"Resolving Issues"

Should a problem arise between you and another one,
Handle it maturely with them before you jump the gun.
Take the subject up with the other one affected,
Not with other people while the right one is rejected.

Do not with others uninvolved, issues discuss,
For this is seeking...

Friendship Is Gone
After eight years it is over
Im No longer beside ya
Your friendship is gone

Your never forgotten

Your sweet embrace and delicate taste

Reflections On a Crime
A town in Georgia had a rash
Of crimes; the perp was bold and brash,
Destroying mirrors on the side
That automakers do provide.

The cops assumed that it was teens
‘Cause pranks are part of teenage genes
Until a neighbor strolling by
The mirror-basher did espy.

It wasn’t kids, but what occurred
Was...

A Cashier's Crush
I can't seem to concentrate or even get my 
mind right. I'm losing sleep and suffer 
from a sudden loss of apetite. I'm shakin' 
in the heat and sweatin' in the snow and 
all the while this is happening, this girl 
don't even know that...

So intuition has become, an educated guess 
  Improvisation requires, impromptu readdress 
 Thinking on one’s feet, perhaps making a stand 
   All at sea, seemingly tripping across dry land 

      Peculiar situations, we find ourselves in

Premium Member Lethal Warning
Whether the Good Lord or Charles Darwin gave Adam his fruit

Regardless of ideology versus faith rules our common pursuit


We need to accept that life is dangerous and fraught with peril

Don’t jump the gun before facing the reaper or his rifle barrel


Instead it might help to...

What You Never Meant
One word misinterpreted
Conveys the wrong intent
And what you said gets twisted
Into what you never meant.

For sometimes we may jump the gun,
Prepared to be rejected,
And can’t absorb a message
Different from the one expected.

It’s possible for someone
To feel angry, bruised or hurt
By a word or two that...

To My Love Part 2 Tbc
How offensive that must’ve felt!
I’m seated after having said this in bewailment like an ox
Not thinking of the grandeur but of her buttocks
Gloriously, as an ambler, I lift the embargo on this thought
Not letting myself to be aghast at the sight of it but almost...

Equation
I'm staying up too late
and still losing weight
and the lights are blazing
as my mind works this equation
no matter how I figure
the query raised grows bigger
it just doesn't add up
no, no sum sums it up

what did I overlook
in this lover's handbook
did I jump the gun
and end...
