Best Off The Rack Poems

POTD 30th August 2018 

The gently swaying branches of the old oak should elicit calmness
And yet a sense of foreboding permeates the midnight air
Wild imaginings?  Or did shadows flit across the leaf strewn path?
No time to dwell ~ She must make haste
Long afore the...

I was on a machine
Working out – burning steam
As the “Calories Burnt” numbers grows
When this pretty young thing
Turns around – my eyes sting
As her nipples in tight t-shirt shows

Well, I drift off sometime
Lost in space – lost in mind
When this pretty young lady walks past
Then...

He cheated on you- what a surprise
You’re wife #5 in his pattern of lies
Did you think he’d be loyal ‘cause he gave you a ring?
Did you think he’d stop flirtin’ and start stayin’ in?
Did you think you were special, that you were the one?
Puh-lease, you...

When that jolly red man with a sack
brings your wishes to you off the rack,
no late Christmas night
for first frosty light,
warm the car up and take it all back....

My suit of self-loathing no longer fits
The mirror of compassion tells me so
Years of bad-intentions held back growth 
After a time, the length of my sleeves bind
I didn’t realize I’ve become over-sized

These angry pants are fit for a small child
How silly I look with cuffs...

Watch out for a pervert named Jack.
He cannot keep his hands off a rack.
The rule goes as such,
you can look but don't touch
and beware of husbands on attack....

You chose me off the the thorny pine lake
                                    And...

Who, Why, What, Where, When?

Take a meme, and make it clean by belief, engagement, 
God meme, Santa Claus or denim jeans are fundamentals, 
They offer a magic carpet to all partakers into fulfilment, 
When we endorse the concepts behind these credentials. 

Like god, belief in...

Excuse me mister, you just walked by
You eyed me up and down and acted real sly
You came real close and as you walked past
You looked like you wanted to grab my ass!
I will demand you stop with that very thought
Over this fine behind, many fights...

My pride is not of presidents
their monuments or halls,
I’m proud of the nation’s people
the working class with balls.

Owned forever by the bank
with interest rates so cruel,
looking in the showrooms
at things that make them drool.

Clothes are off the rack
never owning a new car,
taking home a case...

It's odd that I just noticed
It is the thirteenth day of May
The day is also Friday
It's unlucky some may say

Watch out for all the black cats
And those ladders off  the rack
Don't step on any sidewalk joints
Or you may break...

I decide to take the plunge, internet dating is all the rage
My loneliness grows, I decide it’s time I try to engage 
I join several dating sites, cynical of what I may find
Hoping it’s someone sweet, who’s honest and kind

I write my profile and describe...

don't hold back
take it off the rack
if its facts
its that time
to leave going back behind
SPEAK YOUR MIND...

Cleaning out the closets
 in the autumn time of year
Old shoes fell off the rack,
 worn and faded from use.
How many steps were taken
  with that very pair?

Steps to work and shopping
 then back home again. 
New shoes may replace them
 taking different steps...

If i could summon you to my perception
Or host you whole to my being 
Only then 
Only then would you fathom the wreckage 
And take a dip in my alcohol thoughts
Or come watch me redeem my aggravating flaws 
Hues from my mouth dripping void ,...
