Best Nitpick Poems


Premium Member Renewal
I grump, I slump, I scowl, I'm in a mood
To judge, nitpick and be abruptly rude.

Skies heavy under clouds of concrete gray
Lost are the pinks and lavenders of May.

This winter has worn down my sunny cheer
A season's rain lasting throughout a year.

Manners abandoned as passive...

Years of Neglect
4/25/22

Started before last October
Going beyond Passover
Pettiness and greed always gave off a bad odor

I don't know if I'll ever have closure
Rarely ever am I that sober
For the longest time, it's been just me and Rover

She showed interest and started to stand closer
But now that's over
My...

Benefit of the Doubt
8/12/16


Little by little
Bodies of water start to trickle
Because of there being no drizzle
And the sun continuing to sizzle

Droughts
Making it difficult for plants to sprout

Give others the benefit of the doubt
And next thing you know they want to take you out


Good riddance
Forget those that just want...

Fidget
4/10/22

I don't care if god forbids it
All day and night long I fidget
Alcoholic drinks I sip it
THC I smoke, another habit have yet to kick it

I pay it all no mind and have zero interest
You'll bleed out and die with a quickness
If you give yourself...

Final Reckoning
3/23/21


On a decline or on the rise
Food left out, quickly will oxidize
Experienced a lot of negative, but am putting out positive vibes
When needed, turning into Optimus Prime
Even during Ominous times
Others so quick to drop a dime
It was either honest or a lie
Mostly, it's just been...

Premium Member Do You Want a Perfect Being
God do you see me for who I am?
Why do I have to constantly prove myself
To you?
Why do you nitpick so much?
Why do you correct me so much?
I can’t deal with constant bombardments God
I am human
And I will make mistakes
I will know that I do...

Not Adding Up
5/30/22
"Not Adding Up"
A lot just yap and bluff
Electricity I can conduct
Even though it all is not adding up
At times I had enough
Yet couldn't stop myself it's sad and tough
So I spent time in an abandoned hut
Then ate a muffin that was Banana nut
No it didn't...

Moral Decay
(A Tom Wright opinion)
1-3-2020

Our country is now mired in moral decay,
By the actions of many, being coddled today.
Attitudes are bad and our skins are too thin,
And its all come about because of mankind’s sin.
Two words I hear bandied are racist and bully,
I wonder if...

The New Enemy
he was looking for a new enemy
for it was the man he hated before 
which defined his very being &
in that respect, there was no other
who could possibly take his place---
he searched far and wide, after the last
fight had come to a close---two
young men with...

Premium Member We Would Never Know
We would never know what God wants of us
We know how He wants us to be
We want good things and on our terms
We balk at the slightest oh no
We see but we don’t see
We live but we don’t live
We moan 
We nitpick
We know we shouldn’t
We...

Btw
By the way.
I'm not doing anything later.
If you don't have any plans, why don't you throw on some sweats.
Your favorite ponytail and we'll find something on TV. 
A little Netflix and chill.
A little takeout and random channel flipping.
A stimulating conversation about old times. Inspiration.

Ah... the highlight of our supposed, linkedin,

away with ennui, yes reader a tower mountain

odoriferous tendrils suffuse every square inch

Premium Member Too Busy Ranting
How do I drown out
The dimwitted stupidity
Of your foolhardy rants
The halfwitted folly of your absurdity
The madness of your lunacy
Who in heaven’s name
Do you think you’re fooling
You’re so generous with disparaging remarks
What have you ever accomplished
How dare you pretend to sit up on a throne
While having...

Damned No More
I am weak always
Away from blame he sashays
Faults to nitpick
So who is the one sick

It takes all sorts
All with their own torts
Forgiveness is His to give
to those who wish to live...
