Best Miscued Poems
Life Is Like FootballIt took just a moment
A single concentration lapse
And down the drain,Bayern's effort went
Whilst Messi enjoyed the claps
Life is like a football game
As dicey as a game of chess
A step can earn you fame
Another can end you up in a mess
A poor tackle can earn you...

Ink and PaperWith awkward reach
the strike of the pen has tipped the ink well
splattering onto white paper,
vanquishing the lyrics from the poet’s pen,
scribbling vignettes of joy or strife,
little stories-a slice of life.
His pen shall not find its perfect labor
scribed upon this miscued, defaced paper
to define his words...

Purple MelatoninMy friend had said
Oh! Father
What color
My eyes my skin's shades
Of many MELATONIN (what)
I have a white mother
And yet my father's
black
From what am I
What race am I
They say they hate you for the color of your skin...

Water and Clay God Master of Universe Creator EverythingWater you are crystal clear
And you pour, you're in elucidating body that rises
Onto the shore
And I often wonder, why
You're in all of us
Elemental molecule you reside within us
And water it's you we trust
Your the making of us...

Ballad
My Heart Is Content Not To FlyOnce upon a tragic, forsaken love,
A wish miscued from somewhere above.
So incorrect,
I could not detect,
Nor should expect,
Our bond fit like hand to glove.
A sour lullaby, sang a love you couldn't feel,
Naive to believe in honesty,
Or a sense of dignity,
For this...

Lesson Learned of Not Taking the Bull By the Hornslesson learned of not taking the bull by the horns
there's this elderly man sitting
in the front of the bus
he's a picture of cheerfulness
and mostly goodness
there were also a few other passengers standing
... at the next bus stop two gray haired ladies get on
no...

Horoscope, Kaleidoscope, Microscope and TelescopeGrope slopes of love doves through your palpitation periscope
Sacrifice the price of neglect notoriety, preserve the verve of hope
Multiply and gratify the clue and value of courtesy
Divide glides, prides and slides of mock mercy.
Grope slopes of love doves through your happiness horoscope
Sacrifice...

There's No Place For Prejudice In My Heart-believe it or not I love everybody
I come from a long line of constraints
I am often told what I can and can't
Yet still I love everybody
Respectively I deplete deploring circumstances
That's got me embraced I am conditioned and treated by the color of...

Dramatic Verse
The Tool ShedIt was a dark hole
into an Aladdin's cave of old tools.
A small window
gave the only light and fell
on a rough sawn bench wearing
scars inflicted by years of use.
Saw cuts, drill holes
and the miscued gouges
of chisels had crusted to
dark scabs. Oil stains blotched
the surface like...

My WrathRunning down a starlit path,
trying to escape this earth's bound wrath.
Searching for something bright and new,
something fresh.. maybe you.
I search myself for something true,
only to find myself often miscued.
Tell me no secrets, and I will admit my lies,
The truth will be found in...

The TreeThe bark was almost the color
of charcoal and too rough
for a boy to grip and hold on
to climb without bare skin
being grazed and scraped
back to bloodied welts.
The trunk was scabbed in gum
oozed out of old wounds.
That almond was the tallest tree
in the...

Major pangs pains
Tranquil mission equality
Misjudge guided path
Lost on the road
Fables lies and stories

Guarded yet misguided wonderful
Sheltered yet home
Homeless covered yet naked
How do you accept this
Prodigal Son has come home...

I cannot decipher them
Eeties at Hoppies

Its hard being a dyslexic
Oh boy I feel so out of it

I eagerly learnt new words by sound alone
but sometimes I...

Toe ShackToe shack
Put another log
On the near burnt out fire
They tell me to charge more
Then tell me they did the job for a song and a story I've heard before
The Government is prohibiting the bites that is never chewed
Useless you write your story
Validation goes...
