Best Naysayers Poems

It is so peaceful today!
SHHHHHHH someone hisses.
You will ruin it.
But it really is a terrific day.
Three people give her a quick glare.
She laughs.
Not caring at all. 
Optimism cannot be squelched.
She is in a wonderful mood.
Begins to sing Oh What a Wonderful Morning!
Loudly and proudly.

By letting others change your mind,
You’ll get messed up, innately.

The trust you feel within your gut
Is there...

To suffer the insults of fools is a worthless thing.
     Dismiss, and disregard, unthinking, tactless fellows,
who've nothing else to do (like court jesters of a king)

A great tree, pulsated with its branches
Fingers grouped, lifting skyward enhances
Open-minded intelligence eases
Brings cool faceted multi-hued teases

Showers of snow, filled with frozen water
Leaves trails of white glory, all cold matter
Watchful time escapes the wasted form here
Torment ignites fiercely in the field choir

Solo baritone is the...

Enormous eggplants peppered her Easter hat.
They were a bit heavy, but purple and exact.
However did you find them, and what fun!
The old biddies said, when they saw her in the sun.

Why thank you, she said, pleased as all get out.
Her children had gone on, one...
