Best Leave It To You Poems


Premium Member A Desperate Housewife - In Limerick Form
A desperate housewife I knew
had such mundane housework to do.
Being so tired of it,
she decided to quit.
Then off to Las Vegas she flew.

Having always been such a lithe girl,
she thought “I’ll give dancing a whirl!”
Her audition went well.
From a large oyster shell
She emerged, so they...

Premium Member The Last Poem
This will be the last stanza
The last stanza

The final syllable

I commemorate these wounds
to my Agnostic dreams

Because God kept telling me to believe in her

He kept saying,
“Son, be her tissue when she collapses”

“Son, wipe away her sins with this blank slate I’ve given to you”

“Be that...

Premium Member Faithful Mcgee
McGee was sitting by himself
In a quiet corner of the pub
Then softly closed the book he’d been reading
And gave it, a pat and a rub

When Finn walked in and saw McGee
He headed right to his table
As Finn sat down he wore a frown
For recognized the...

Why There Are No Snakes In New Zealand
The story is told of a Maori King bold
Who dared cheat the Prince of Siam.
I’ll leave it to you to decide if its true.
But if you're not convinced, at least I am!

This king was annoyed so he filled his bored void
By selling the fauna of...

Premium Member Why Just Get By
What would you do
if I walked out on you?
Would you stand up
and sing out of key?

I'm really quite sure
if you did this to me
I would sit down
or stand up
and dream how to be.

Do we need everybody?
We sure need sometime to be.

Could it be anybody?
As long...

Sorting the Mess
I work in fits
The contents of my head dumps out
Whatever comes out is me
Good or bad it's still just me 
The contents of head dumps out
I'll leave it to you to figure it out
Good or bad it's still just me
I wish it would come out...

Premium Member On Etiquette
Here is a poem on etiquette, about which
   I barely know the subject from the predicate

It seems to me that etiquette's all stuffy
   It's for royalty's ilk, haughty and puffy
Who the hell cares how you hold your fork
   One...

The Redemption of Sin
Darkland of Redemption
Forsaken in the least
No Friend
No Foul
No Mortal to be bound

Light or Night
Which is right?

A sinner seeks redemption
Before the Baptism of fire
Withen Hell's loving embrace

The Lord's loving Light
Burns the very of Night
Those who ask forgiveness receive
Those who seek Sin beleive

In the end who wins?
Free...

Secrets Outspoken
Time tells secrets to a heart so small,
Following our leaders to learn to stand tall.
In my story I start with love,
From a mother who cared before all else, far above,
Caring for each child day to day,
Holding a bigger picture unfolding into astray,
As she became unhappy...

Witches
So as a sequel to my last poem,
I gave the unsloved child murders in my childhood a thought,
And oven coven,
I had dinner and talked to the three hecate,
'What does the wise man want?'
We agreed retribution for him,
They suggested I requested but I  said,
Leave it...

Premium Member Genuis Or Criminal
 Is It Deplorable
And Does It make me Criminal?
If I used my Genius
To become Felinous
As I was craving to become your Ethos

All that I Did
Was to pave my way to your Heart
To be seen as your darling Sweetheart
For the arrows of Cupid
Have made me Languid
Should...

Premium Member Inflection
Intoxicated by the inflection 
nothing like that catch in your voice;
Falling for the hope and healing, 
leave it to you to level the agony;
Every piece of every word 
carries with it a mark of you; 
Tasting the tip of what you say 
itching to pull...

Premium Member Tempting Fate
Hey, I'm your doc, and I gotta say
  If I were you, I'd start to pray
Your pressure's way up, and so's your weight
  At your age, sir, you're tempting fate

O.K., Doc, I leave it to you
  Whatever you tell me, that's what...

The Night the Truth Stayed Silent
The road was long, the night was cold,
A stranger walked into the town.
His coat was torn, his hat pulled low,
His weary eyes fixed on the ground.

The streets lay still, the lamps burned low,
Behind locked doors, all lay at rest.
But in the bar, the glasses clinked,
As...
