Best Keep It Simple Poems
Commenting on others poems is a personal choice
There is no book on “Comment Rules”
We are all adult and individual
To do as we choose
There are no wrongs or rights ….”only respect”
So we should do as “we” please
Comment or not comment
Not to be judged or appease
Personally, l like to comment
I also like to receive
I love the social side of P.S
Its part of the PS joy “for me”
“I “comment on poems l truly enjoy
Yes “ l “ like to return a comment “if l can”
Only if it comes from a place of sincerity
And the poem ….l truly understand
I have actually no expectations regarding comments
Each to their own is my policy
I am not offended or upset
It does not affect my poetry
Yes, it makes me feel good to receive positive words
As l value and appreciate others thoughts
I enjoy the interaction and friendship connection
Encouragement and support
There are so many different levels of poetry
Many advanced levels way above me….l cannot comprehend
So l will not comment….if l do not understand
Not even when its to one of my lovely poet friends
I will not comment on a poem l do not understand
No matter how beautiful or as much as l would like too
I would be lying to myself and the poet
To myself and other poets “l will be true”
So, who cares if some behave childish playing tit for tat
Avoid or ignore …..it is actually their issue
Focus in life about what really matters
Not…. “who says what to who!”
Keep It Simple And Just Enjoy Poetry!!
Just keep it simple
Don’t clutter your head
Clutter causes stress
Too much stress makes you dead!!
Just keep it simple
Try a slower pace if you can
Life is too short
To act like a madman!
Just keep it simple
Don’t sweat the small stuff
Try positive not negative
Not grumpy and gruff
Just keep it simple
Don’t intentionally cause strife
Don’t be a busybody
Or meddle in others lives
Just keep it simple
Be nice not mean
Show respect ,be kind
Not rude and obscene
Just keep it simple
Be humble ,don’t complain
On this earth only once
Make the most….Don’t let it be in vain!
breath of God
fills our form
why then pride
feel heartbeats
allow bliss
to lead us
as God’s child
we’re as He
love and light
Tho' some of my poetry may be a tad avant garde,
And 'tis fer dang sure I'll ne'er be a renowned bard,
But I try to concoct stuff that is original and creative,
That can be understood by the most untutored native!
Some verse I read leaves me scratchin' my head,
Tryin' to figger out what the composer said!

Great men and small men,
what does it matter?
We all fry in the very same batter.
Moral ambiguity
is not a hot flame
but if we don't
pay attention
it cooks just the same.
Running a country,
living a life,
Lao Tzu said,
"Keep it simple!",
avoid all strife.
Yes, He is approachable. No, He is not hidden or isolated.
Yes, He is an Infinite and Awesome Supernatural Being.
He introduces himself to us in the form of our own humanity and invites us into a personal relationship with Himself.
He demolishes all former barriers and walls of separation,
and establishes eternal bonds of one-on-one communication.
He is infused with simplicity, and immune to complexity.
He is not abstract and does not freeze my brain with questions too advanced for me. If he utters realities that are not understood by me, I neither worry nor experience frustration.
I understand that He is nt the author of confusionon but a Revealer of Truth, which is himself.
He is forbearing and redemptive; not judgmental
He is a most lovely Being; not a selfish unknown
He much prefers to forgive and ‘look over this’, than to condemn and ‘get you for that’.
If he had instincts, love would be at the very top.
Perhaps our first life instinct is self-consciousness.
Self-preservation is a natural for us. He requires no preservation; and if he has anything to preserve, it is us.

Using words with hidden meanings
is for those with intellectual leanings
Poems that are complicated
are strictly over-rated
Give me a poem with simple gleanings.

Speak your simple thoughts
Big words create illusion
Don't cause confusion
KEEP IT SIMPLE
the Bible is clear
no mystery riddle
or perplexing
confusion
the Word is simple
no brainteaser puzzle
or baffling
illusion
Jesus shares
messages even
children
comprehend…
God so loved the world that
He gave His only Son so
whoever believes in Him
will not perish but have
Eternal life
John 3:16
I am the way the truth and life
no one comes to the Father
except through Me
John 14:6
He kept it simple

I stand in ******** like a British guard patrolling the keep
A private eye from nine to five but lose control when I sleep
Behold what I see is crime and sin that roams in the street
Your home, your retreat, the woods, the plateau, and the creek
The ocean, the beach, a plane, a bus, boat, or a jeep
Deceptions everywhere, at any time no moment for peace
The thrown and the king, it’s there as you approach the regime
But as focus decreases, it needs a microscope to be seen
It grows from a seed...as it blossoms, the hand becomes a possum
Alive but standing still to be a mannequin with problems
And the vanity accomplished helps profanity demolish
Your beliefs and thoughts until you see your sanity abolished
Damn if we could all just get along without someone believing
Everything they heard I wouldn’t have these clouds up underneath me
Life is like a tree, see it grows, and then it branches out
And plants a seed in mother nature 'til she screams and passes out
You asked about it here it is, like pyramids it’s quite complex
“Up and Down” and “Right to Left”, it all rotates like “Life and Death”
But it depends on how you visualize and what your eyes detect
It’s a “Circle of Events” so you cannot deny the steps
Try your best to put an end to it, you’ll just apply a stress
Cause if you die you’ll live again it’s written in the bibles text
But life is what you make it basically the way you write reflects
Wether or not you kept it simple or made it all complex .
Why make everything complex
Complicate, replicate, concave, or convex?
I am a strong proponent of simplifying
If there’s a problem, it’s for rectifying!

Keep it simple, our thoughts are befuddled
Lost in the maze, we are delusional
Ego borne cravings are often tabled
Hermit! Show us the true path, factual
Our dilemma such, it is comical
By spiralling dark thoughts, we are cudgelled
We seek guidance, by direct visual
Keep it simple, our thoughts are befuddled
The path direct, by love we are cuddled
We rest all knowing experiential
Ego mind such, it will have us muddled
Lost in the maze, we are delusional
All we need, is love in our arsenal
Agreeing by divine, to be cajoled
We need patience, the shift is gradual
Ego borne cravings are often tabled
Truth glowing in our heart, cannot be googled
We are the light, we are the miracle
Our innocence from heights has now tumbled
Hermit! Show us the true path, factual
Following love, fragrant and musical
Our centred presence, with bliss thus huddled
Voice of loving conscience infallible
We now stand erect, when once we stumbled
Keep it simple

Everything today is technical and overly complicated
It has to be shiny and new for us to be persuaded
Bells and whistles glitz and glitter always overdone
To keep our attention make it fun fun fun
The world is exploding with gadgets galore
With internet overwhelming it actually bores
Thousands of channels to watch
Thousands of stores to shop
Any type of venue
Everything on the menu
Dazzle our senses with dreams unreal
Becoming so numb we can't feel
Keep it simple,
Smile,
I love you
Gazing on this lilac tree
Blooming here in front of me
Its scented petals fill the air
Springtime's sweet romantic fare
A simple love is what I seek
Dear Bluebird, may I kiss your beak?
Or mon cheri, a little dance
Somewhere far away in France?
A bicycle that's built for two
An Alpine ride, just me and you
A baseball game at Citifield?
Just tell me, to your whims I'll yield
Let me show you my old home,
Comb all the places where I've roamed
Then finally where I hid the note
When of my love for you first wrote
