Best Mistakes Poems

Mistakes will sometimes appear on signs
 It's best to read between the lines
 While driving down the road
 You may see a sign that says "your car will be toad"
 That one's quite a croaker!

 You might see a sign in a car lot
 That...

never tried anything new."  Albert Einstein

We all have our views on the subject. A military officer 
on hearing I was pregnant asked me to consider having
an abortion. I know a young woman, the doctors told
her mom, that with her condition, she needed to be aborted.
She was not and is perfect...

What to look for?
Where do errors lie?
Are they in the eye of the beholder
or do they lie?

I believe I’m a poet,
a prophet of paraphrase,
a swindler of alliteration,
the rhyme above all reason.

I think I know!
Am I who I think I am?
A big fat ham.

My eyes wander...

some days i wish upon a star,
that you'd come back one day.
you took my heart and shattered it,
and you took my life away.

i thought we'd be together forever,
but that didn't last very long.
the last thing that you said to me was goodbye,
and i said so...

and the stress drop off shoulders

SWEET MISTAKES


i sit here and think

of all i've done wrong

the whispering remnents

of a long ago song

while tragic decissions have created the past

the character built lays new path

without mistakes, goals can't be reached

if the the world was perfect 

there'd be nothing to teach.

we'd never explore our...

Oh what a mistake I have made,
Traveled so far to end up this way.
  Not in a million years would I have guessed,
That this idea was truly not one of my best.
  Never had  known things had changed so much,
We for sure...

Looking back, 
my mistakes,
if such they were,
were of omission 
rather than commission.
My caution
and lack of nerve
leaving me
with naught but
a basket full of
might have beens.

Which is why
I must now, 
seize this day
with you.

Are you anxious in making mistakes? 
Do you feel terrible when you do? 
Mistakes are simply outcomes we did not expect and can lead
to growth.

Start by admitting your mistakes
 You can only learn from a mistake if you admit you made one 
As you start...

Looking across the dark night, I try , to know my mistakes,
To know why I'm here ,to know why my life shakes.

Nothing seems to go right ,everything is still the same ,
yet in my foresight ,I tremble to smile again.

Lost count of the stars ,as...

I have sang with Tennessee the song of the south,
I have kissed many tender lips with my crimson
mouth.
I have been with Politicians to the mountain top,
I have crossed without doubt the red gates that writ
in it, "STOP".
I have danced with a cotton dress that danced...

Have you ever wondered? 
Being in an adult blunder 
A reason for going to class 
Besides the well-known intellectual pass 
Is it to learn the alphabet?
Addition subtraction you may get
Going to the swing set for fun 
After morning school work is done 
Lessons get tougher...
