Best Nagging Poems

My wife just keeps nagging
"You've got work to do"
I say, honey, can't it wait
Til my poem is through?

She says, "You're writing again?,
That's all you get done"
I don't think she realizes
That poetry is fun

"Words, words, words
That's all you ever think"
"You even wrote one. 
Telling people I...

Why are men so frustrating?
Can't someone please tell me!
I've been trying to figure it out
for what seems like an eternity.

Why is it that men
cannot understand a womans thinking?
Sorry to be so sexist
but I expect it's
all that drinking!

I have figured out one thing....
It's why men have...

mother of two boys
nagged at dad clowning by pool
one dive too many ~
forgive my raised jaded brow
'nag' now aids paraplegic

Rapid rifles, fearful aim
from secret, secure nests,
They select a random target,
blow holes into his chest.

The medic cradles gently,
Dour comrades bid good night.
Close his eyes, collect his tags,
prepare his box for flight.

Now home- a name and number,
the bugle blares farewell.
Mourners clutch the folded flag
he earns for...

Bad beaked beatle,biting 
badly like a busy bug on 
my bare black back and 
it began to bleed bile 
bitter blocks of 
blameless 
blood,balefully  ....

Another new day dawns
For us all to face
Will it be one to embrace
With vim and vigour
As we prepare to start this day
We put our negativity at bay
And begin to read the news

Trusting that today's news will be
Printed with more clarity
So that most can understand
The strategies...

Nagging.

What is it that you're Granny said?
'Now clean you're teeth before your bed.'
Then Mum would shout, 'walk don't run.'
Nagging's all they seem to do.
Now tell me where's the fun?
'Wash behind you're ears boy.'
When Granny's nagging there's no joy.
Why can't they leave me to get on
I'll...

Nagging

Your words they are sharp,
And my head is pounding
As if it was about to split apart;
Every time you speak you break
My heart.
Never anything positive your
Words are filled with poison venom.
You’re like a viper trying to swipe
Every ounce of joy that I...

Morning Thoughts On Nagging Pain
By: Miracle Man
2/16/2024

Constant pain has been filling my life's cup,
but being a “tough old bird”, I’ve fought on. 
I’ve fought the thought of merely giving up,
today, time has passed, and fight almost gone.

Pain is a nemesis with no equal,
seldom ever does...

Nagging ~ recurring,
Conjecture of truth or lies,
Man deaf to it all,
just wants a nice quiet life.

Success ~ happy life,
nagging makes it a failure,
Depressed with failure,
nagging says ~ I told you so.

With all its sarcasm,
respond with the optimism,
Out of denials,
It Will find joy in its thoughts....

I am the doer

What I do

Is what I am..

A statement of

Separation..

An identity

With the wave

And disregard

Of the ocean..

A beautiful story

Which may not

End..though a

Nagging desire

Dismount, the horse is dead I say.
He keeps blathering on,
Saying things to bring me down
Tries to lasso me with negativity
Annoyed that I have retained my idealism
Angry at my optimism
Wanting to smear my joy on the floor of the barn.
I smell the hay and the manure
Still...

I reflect on our childhood days,
Not such pure and perfect ways,
Mother nagged us for so long,
Her negative carp was very strong,
When we kids reached our teens,
That's when she got really mean,
Endearing not, was the scene,
Past of our family magazine,
Now we look back and laugh,
Turn the...
