Best Misquote Poems

A bunch of dry lime leaves like schoolkids runs 
across the street. Be careful, do not slip
on crispy morning frost. I see someone’s
bike on its side, its owner rubs his hip.

Are you okay? He is okay. A crow
pecks out a crumpled tinfoil. What's inside?
Alas, inedible....

Many will claim  to be your friend .
Speak greatly about when your around.
Tell your the best just to get what they need.

And you in return will  will become a shadow of who you once were.
Becuse you want to belive.
Your not blind yet you...

Upon lovers
it dawned
that Love
turns on
everything
and it comes
in all forms
fit for
everyone
there is not
“just one”
but rather
many
for in the land
of Love is Plenty
and simply put
it’s fit
quite right

“one love”
was written
and many
were smitten
with a light
but then….

a misquote happened
in the land of "right"
that long ago
gave lovers fright
as the love of One

almost
vanished...

Love of Money
Dr. James E. Martin
©March, 2014

Money is the root of all evil
Many try to intelligently say.
They sadly misquote the text
And cause many to from truth turn away.

Money is not the problem you see
But love of the lucrative stuff.
This love drives many these days
To never...

to comfort the family that is your legacy

You were my best friend you were always there
to comfort me in times of...

In my head, alcohol and its pall for callousness call
Emboldened by froth and wrath
In a show of gangrene gall in a mall
To distort my faith and misquote my oath.

Emboldened by froth and wrath
In an atmosphere teeming with terror
To distort my faith and misquote my oath
Anger...

Trump and Rudy were watching an oater
Thinking up ways to find one more voter

Drives herd mentality
Let's misquote her and find a promoter!"...

Dear students Examinations denote
That you and teachers clearly emote
Their feelings out and try to devote
Their time and energy for this rowboat.
Mind that nurtures it will surely vote
Their success to teacher to roam afloat.
Let be a doctor, teacher or student tote
Examinations did need a nice quote.

The fantasy: 
of moving in a circle, 
taking a flower bath. A metaphysical 
misquote. You were losing 
your identity.

There was no abstract folly. 
I will protect all the concrete truths.

To find a lover in the woods.

Fighting my demons 
I start a circuitry of unborn vows.

The...

"Men are governed by lines of intellect,
women by curves of emotion" *

or

and really mean to say

that 

men are governed by women's curves,
and women by men's lines.

Though comatose,
 i reflect on those,
grim spirits of disaster,
some do claim Abraham an Moses,
That God is yet their master,

Slaughter cannot be divine,
a bloody karmic pantomime,
the will of God does make it shine,
I will ask in the hereafter.

thank you Mr Maverick's "Insurging".

Black and blue our flowers will bloom
With seas and skies of certain doom
You dare to dream of death it seems
Separate yourself from selfish dreams
Where you peep through certain holes
And see all those floating souls
Don't tell me you see, your sight has been blurred
Don't misquote me...

Buddha meets ... that is strange,
Announce the meet ... strange the more,
Buddha meets ... not so strange,
Announce misquote ... Buddha just wrote,
Though history ... Buddha's story, 
Timing bit off ... historians scoff,
What came first; egg or chicken ... what came post; begs a question,
Christmas or...
