Best Limited Poems

I’m a limited edition, when all is said and done 
Nothing special, only unique in a maze of humdrum 
Kill spiders for a pastime, coz I hate their beady eyes 
Watching me try to sleep, as they paralyse butterflies 

I’m a limited edition, pulling cobwebs...

      what if the sky does not fall~

What did he mean
when he said
turn the other cheek?
Does it mean
violence isn't the answer
and peace is always the way?

Is it to deny the natural
carnal response?
To challenge the older laws
that have long been ensconced?

Maybe it's a come on
to the ungodly
"Give me what you got
I have no...

the older we are
the more invisible by far
we seem to the younger mind
but soon they will see
what’s known by you and me
we’re only immortal for a limited time

Put on word welfare by the poet gods
They've rationed my "Inspired Insanity"
No one could ever calculate the odds
This blatant act of inhumanity

No longer can I find words to describe
Blue eyes that generate a winning smile
Condemned, left with my profane diatribe
And sentenced as a poet with...

You cannot change the past, as time is linear
Time is but a limited automobile.
It cannot move backwards.
It’s rear windows, a definite ebony.
It’s windshield wipers invisible to the eye.
You can drive
Awake, for the car does not drive itself or you
You drive it while it guides you
You...

Two times two is four
Four times two is eight
Eight times two is sixteen
How far can we multiply by two?
Forever

Two divided by two is one
One divided by two is one half
One half divided by two is one fourth
How far can we divide by two?
Forever

Where is the...

Limited moments remaining,
Under a thousand stars,
Work yet to be done for living,
The best I can do as fars.
No one is free here,
Bound by the giant chain,
Some though don't care,
Others born for pain.
There is no equality,
There is no compassion,
In this ruthless city,
You may end in depression.
Accepting...

Don’t limit thoughts, on what, 
you think you know
Or what, or if, 
or where we go.

This life a mystery, 
as was your birth.
The decent of your soul, 
to walk this earth.

The circle of life, 
is more than is known,
Much more than we see, 
we are...

I've never written a Love poem before;
Well, here it goes:
I have fallen in love with you
- So, how well did I do?...

This is the story of William from Tampa
While playing guitar on his parent's veranda
A guitar string broke
In his eye it did poke
Known as Blind Willie with a limited panorama

I wish we could
sit in a soft field 
of flowers and bask
in the sun on our
faces-I'd do it alone and
think of you and what
you would say in the
inspiritational message-
the sharing in the simplicity,
in the humaness of the 
moment-in the sheer 
joy to be in a...

Freedom is somewhat limited
In a so-called democratic society
At times, people cannot truly tell it like it is
People cannot vote freely
Without some restrictions or some stupidities
In order to weaken the disadvantaged
Even though the US first amendment guarantees
Freedom of speech, freedom of expression
To assemble peacefully, freedom of...

Your life is the full world, the stars, sun, and moon.
On your own, you can fight the tough times real soon.
Unsteady moves can't let you up the ladder; never tone down.
Rarely will we meet; we set the lousy goal to impugn.

Tacked and seated, man has...

You may have noticed the Michigan Catholic farmer
claiming his First Amendment rights have been infringed
to speak his mind
about the degenerative nature of same-sex marriage
when the nearby East Lansing operated Farmer's Market
determined his farming operation
was not in compliance with a city ordinance
not allowing discriminatory business practices.

The...
