Best Off The Cuff Poems
I roll these words in the mere moment
off the cuff....
without posy (prims)
to say hello,
(ad-lib is the Lion)
A Beggar in the mud....
for a lighter brush;
with less darkness in verse,
She has fallen....
from grace,
I shudder ----
how wan the dying rose!
Her petals lilt,
(my wings plucked with shadow.....)
I've given all, but not enough,
love is absolute(ly).....
without delay in affection
I shall try to return with a rainbow
or two....

Crazy is as crazy does. I guess you get my drift. I wander through a world of
thought, my pace is not too swift. I like soup and poetry too, If you're reading this,
you do too. I feel only fulfilled if I can create one smile, somewher upon this
earth. sour pusses we know, we suffer from no dearth. I may not be a great
speller, and I may not be too bright, but one thing I know; how to use my sight. I
mean not eyes in this, I hope you understand, I'm just one little member in an
awesome big ol' band. There are things about I wonder, there are things that I
adore, I better shut up now, you unederstand, I can not say more.
HOW TO BLUFF OFF THE CUFF
You'd better be tough
when the cops and the weather gets rough
here there isn't any flight or fight
that ain't right
it's whatever our godless deities had already willed
it's kill or be killed
because no one here calls another's bluff
just take life off the cuff
because no one ever knows what another is thinking
and for us there is no such thing as drinking
we didn't drink our worries away until arrives the day when there's powder but you cannot get enough
you'd better be tough
scared
you'd better be scared
when a white powder's fangs are bared
and no one gave a damn or cared
size up every situation as if it were your last moment on earth
as you curse your mother's womb for having cursed you with birth
have eyes in the back of your head
lest you end up darker than dead
let your instincts rule
and don't be anyone's fool
so be cool
since the day the white lady first stared
you'd better be scared
determined
one must be determined
to ease the pain
and not end up just a stain
a darkened mark on the ground where you once stood
in a wretchedly and wicked neighborhood
the hood
ain't no good
so find what you need with determination in your eyes
and be wise
be determined not to be beaten, slain or grabbed
shoved into an alley with a 45 at your head or ready to be stabbed
these things will happen, yes, even to you
so be determined to do whatever you must do
be determined
these are all the things you must possess
and allow the feelings of being wounded regress
they start off their teenage years with a lot
until they say yes to that very first shot

Off the Cuff
May be Rough
But you can do it
It's not absurd
To use a word
You just make it fit.
seems we use this site
far better than a psychiatrist's
phony bull-shot...and his leather couch,
they wouldn't understand us , anyway
you can't learn from
books and lectures
the lessons life has taught us-
not to demean them, trust me,
I've no doubt they've had
their own horrors or uncertainties
to deal with...but, lets face it,
when their clients are gone,
their studies concluded,
to go sit back, in a recliner,
smoke a pipe and look wise
our words will far outlive them
and they know...you can see it in their eyes.
