Best On Your Toes Poems

I have a butterfly in my pocket,
that will never fly again.
When I think back to yesterday,
it’s a pretty reminder of my pain.

Butterflies aren’t meant for pockets,
you my dear were not meant for me.
I have my pretty reminder,
that without me you are free.

We kissed in the...

First off let's make it clear I ain't funny
And I don't start conversations out with bonjour
But there comes a time in every mans life
Where he needs a good Man-icure

When you hit the age of me on the same feet
It's time to give the old dogs...

Be brave my lads. It's time to rumble
Jump into battle but beware the tumble.
Stay on your toes or you might stumble.
Getting lost will make your owner grumble.

Once you're all inside the enemy's lair
cling to each other so you remain a pair.
There are only two of...

"If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy" One of my favorite quotes by a man named Ron Hall

If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.
Tell that to each kid and his or her pappy.
Some moms can be weird, but think of all they do,
especially the pain...

simply blither
simply obscure
obscure lingo
obscure form
form of creation
form the phrase
phrase the question
phrase for the play
play on your knees
play in the yards
yards of meter
yards of counted
counted on your fingers
counted on your toes
toes of glory
toes which dance
dance in lines
dance in time
time to form questions
time to answer
answer the phone

This city demands to be explored
   It aches with the yearning of a living metropolis
The broad masses of the people 
   take sustenance from it 
    One cannot help but believe that 
the city is a living organism...

you claim to be the Poetry Destroyer
but i'll destroy you
i'll kick you into touch because I know Kung-Fu
in linguistics I own a belt thats black
i'll leave you down and out with no chance of a comeback

when it comes to dissing i'm a pro
i spit it...

Nurse Anne

Snow steeped in mountains and mountains steeped in snow
Evergreens and pine trees hold the earth with purpose
Nurse Anne steps into hospital from brutal winter cold
Measures stethoscopes and takes gentle pulses
Takes care of bullet wounds and children on her rounds
Wears white, green or blue uniforms...

Straight, curvy and bumpy roads
Some with cones
All across the globe
Tools made of stones and from bones

Got to stay in the zone
Wherever I may roam and rove

Certain boards bowed
And automobiles had to be towed

Money being owed
And loaned

Waters with or without foam
And lawns that do or don't...

 Play on the fiddle and on your toes twiddle
For life may pass in a twinkle, no time to dawdle
Before your powers dwindle, with joy, your life kindle
Be helpful and save good memories to fondle

Perhaps with stars in your joyful eyes my friend
You will recall the time like rainbow as you would
Hold your baby in your thrilled arms to blend
Your joy with the moon as gloriously it stood
In your mind’s sky close to the trees of sandalwood

As you did...

Give me some dancing shoes
Move out of my jazzy red suede blues
Let me whirl my bipolar absolute truth
Who is that? Is that dead husband of Ruth?

Give me my high heels, silver, sassy and large
I’ll take a burger with fries; make it a charge.
If I step...

Happy Birthday Mom I miss you so much.
You are still in my heart, so we are never out of touch.
I can still hear your voice and see your sweet smile.
They say life is short, so maybe I’ll see you in a little while.

You are constantly...

Our paths have crossed,
When we each had our own sets of rules,
You holding to yours, 
And me thinking I must see my thru,
You had played the game longer, 
And knew better than to lose,
I played the part, 
Of only the blinded fool.

Me, thinking I was...
