Best Make The Grade Poems

Just a regular curbside puddle,
It really wasn't that big.
But it had the look of an ocean,
To a sweet little puppy named 'Pig.'

"Your paws might touch the water,
No chances that you will drown."
Pig looked at his master- all crazy,
And was frozen like ice to the ground.

"It's...

Villanelle : If you haven't had that, what have you had*

If you haven't had your life, what have you had
In fear of what lies beyond the locked safe-door
Live you now the moment, not for what's ahead

Fear of what others may think, nothing's more sad
Yet if...

You talk behind your neighbor's back,
And say things most unkind.
It seems someone who won't do that,
These days is hard to find.

You re-tell things you promised not,
To let any others know;
But if you think it'll serve you well,
You'll tell all that you know.

You bite the hand...

Morning coffee, read the paper, brush your teeth and make the bed
Start the car up, drive to work with endless chatter in your head.
Rhythm’s just a decoy, really, structure faked for social poise
Must pretend, must feign an interest. Wouldn’t want to lose the toys.

Just ignore...

I went to the dentist
It had been awhile
Yet after much drilling
Followed by filling
The bills heaped in a pile

He said come twice a year
Or try to make it three
Brush three times a day
And floss the right way
And maybe just maybe

You’ll be a dental star
Which sounded bizarre
But...

Because the Fe is before the Male
life has a fee to be paid by the male
the first shall become last
the last shall become first
“just like a woman!”  smoo…cheese!  

The price for life has been paid
By the upper higher grade…
the “Conscience” is life persuade...

Listen to me
As I tell you what you don’t see,
The teenage struggles of today.
I tell you what I say
Is true.
Teenagers do struggle through
Life as we know it.
So why don’t you sit
And listen to the truth of
How teens struggle in love
Looking for the one to call...

Walk through the halls of an unknown land
Trying to figure out how to fit in, 
May not be the same as everyone else,
But is that a reason to cut me down?  
Every day I face a new battle don’t you see, 
Not knowing who...

With parties abounding
Why stay home alone
Your Mon and your Father
Can’t see that you’ve grown

No talent or accent
Are you really quite plain
No thunder or lightning
Just a 13 year rain

The pressure to join in
It’s really intense
Obtain the right symbols
On any pretense

No flash zoom or dazzle
You’ll not make...

Another holiday has come to pass and I am no prouder to be an American than when it started.

What are these holidays for I ask myself?

Are they designed for the little man to feel like he’s getting a break from the monotony of 
a humdrum...

There once was a man who was afraid he wouldn't make the grade, in the past he'd been betrayed so he spent most of his time in the shade, playing charades.

Then along came a real babe, who's name was Jade who he paid and did...

They burst on the silver screen
Each a goddess, a sultry queen
Adept in the tricks of the trade
Striving to make the grade
They were each a living doll

A beautiful image portrayed
As every role they deftly played
In each home, they were center stage
Their latest movie all the rage
They...

Oh, trusty eraser,
You error replacer,
I thank you for clearing the way,
Preventing disgrace
When I cannot embrace
Words I’ve chosen which do not hold sway.

Just one swipe of your being
Gives way to me seeing
A blank where a blunder has been
So I’m once again free
To discover the key
Which will...

the choices we make in life
can be good ones or bad
but there is one choice i made
that i will be forever  glad
the day i gave my life to the Lord
and stopped doing things on my own accord
i gained so much confidence
that will never fade
regardless...
