I was never going to meet your expectations for you wanted a
Son and you got me ...mum said to you ‘I was the next best thing’ 
That’s maybe why you treated me and my sister
Anne so differently - she was like a princess
Kept by you and mum,...

Mistaken

I never thought my tears would fall for you. 
Never thought i would see meaness in your eyes. 
I thought you were a friend. 
A steady place, safe harbor from my troubled winds.
I never thought our trust and bound would be so broken. 
Never thought harsh,cruel words would be spoken. 
I thought your were my...

Mistaken, a Poem About Crystal Meth

You may know who I am, but not 
what I can do. 
So let me extend some knowledge to 
you.
 
I see you're new to the game.
It's a game I know very well. 
You won't even remember. 
The day that you fell. 

I'll let you go places deep inside your 
mind. 
Then I'll twist your...

I Cooked the Book That Would Not Tap

I Cooked the Book that Would Not Tap
 
A Doomsday, a nightmare gone wrong,
My hand shot with pain and didn’t stop,
Bandages hid the wound I wove for kong,
The silence echoed round the wheel fop.

I screamed with tears which said the news,
When sirenes had been screened for writ,
Draughts unveiled the blood for reviews,
That cared enough to...

Premium Member No Mistaken Identity

Some say I look like Hemingway
Some say he looks like me.
But six-toed cats cannot be fooled
That’s why, from me, they flee.

Down around ankles were his trousers
as he caressed her he said wowzers
finding there no lady
it was all so shady
as he always seemed to pick posers

When we went to a steak house named Zake’s
We discovered a shocking mistake
That my wife’s meal had hair
So I asked why it’s there
They said, because she ordered shaved steak...

There was an eel on the ocean floor,
Sammy his name, he knew the score.
His friends said, he was smart,
Then upon a dinner cart,
He said, Hey, I am not an albacore....

Mistaken Identity

A bad crime has landed me in jail,
I also told the judge "Go to hell,"
for while serving the time
I did not do the crime...
Honest! It was my twin brother Sal....

Mistaken For a Senior Citizen!

Ok, I normally keep my cool.
I rarely get THAT mad.
I wanted to knock her teeth out! 
Oh yes, it was that bad! 

I was innocently shopping.
Going about my day.
I was finished with the browsing 
so I headed up to pay.

This nasty, mid-aged woman
looked me in the eye
and what she said made my mouth drop
and made...

The Mistaken Identity

Mark and Micheal,
were identical twins,
who would confuse,
every one in the world,
who do not know them.

One time came,
Mark bought a boat
that knocked the same day,
Micheal's mum died.

A few days later,
a funny old lady,
short and small,
mistaking him for his brother.

She said i'm sorry to hear
about your loss,
you must  feel  it terrible",
Mark, thinking that she
was meaning...

Premium Member Mistaken Idenity

We went to a grand masquerade,
  My love and I, this night;
I wore a sweet pink gown and mask,
  Oh, we were quite a sight.

I was twirled and swirled and then dipped,
  In my ear he whispered;
At the stroke of midnight we meet,
  Sweet kissing-  I pictured.

Our meeting place, the...

Mistaken Identity

As the line’s listless structure leapt into attentive control;
It’s purpose for existence instantly acknowledged.

The double-tapered weight-forward shooting line’s condensation,
Informed of its instant transformation,
Leaps to the water’s corresponding constitution,
Each droplet acting as spherical asteroids of deception on the current’s rippling surface.

Instantly, a silent connection has arisen.
One derived out of technology,
Entombed in the cosmology of the seasons,
Originating...
