Best Overdo Poems

I beg him for a kiss
As he heads out to the door
I’m crushed by his response
“We’re not teens anymore

It’s been twenty years
Why don’t you act your age?”
And I’m left to wonder
Am I a fool or sage?

Does romance have a life span?
Does it vanish with passing...

Though I've begged and I've pleaded,
       Not wanted, but needed
       A little help, a little hope, 
       Not this endless, mindless choke

I did better than all the rest
but that was normal for me
to lose a bit of sleep 
just so I could do good
but you just don’t understand
why I do this all the time
I have to and although it seems odd
it’s true for just me and...

Pantoum about Ernie Petersen,
Trader At Rose Prairie

Fur Trader

The buyer and trapper jawed trade
“What’s fur fetching at the Winnipeg auction?”
At Rose Prairie the deals was made
At the wood burning stove with caution

“What’s fur fetching at the Winnipeg auction?”
Cold winter makes pelt with heft.
The buyer fingers a...

Soap and plumbing shopping spree?
Several articles that all disagree

A hot one makes you look old
But few can tolerate the cold

Some “experts” say it’s best at night
Others consider bed-head fright

Don’t overdo it and do take care

Soaps and scrubs all...

Can't get time back
Regardless if I tip my hat
Going down a different path
I'll leave it at that

No matter if it's been a rotten day
They always got a lot to say
Then towards god they pray
I go my own way and walk away
I overdo it at times...

Why don’t you go and tickle me pink?
When I’ve had enough, I’ll give a wink.
If you overdo,
I just might turn blue.
I might throw up my guts in the sink.

Deliciously deceiving smile
Emits a spectrum of light emotion.
You are worshipped and feared by all
Dictator through and of all seasons
But you can take your toll at times, you overdo it.
And prepare us for the battle
Of hopelessly empty days.
We think we can absorb you,
Be you for a...

Unless you
Start,
Things won’t get done.

Tire you too fast.

Never procrastinate

the snowflakes make your smile shine
i laugh softly as you try to catch one on your tongue
you are completely careless and totally unaware of life and what it is
six hours removed from leaving the hospital after your ninth heart surgery, 
i just let you be...

And then I opened that door
Oh how sweet was the sight that came to my eyes
My feet, my lungs, my whole body felt so sore
My house, my room, my couch, why it all seemed to be paradise!

Yes, see you, I have done a big blunder
I...

I can see.
Flood of tears streaming down your delicate face.
Your rosy life replaced by a topsy turvy one faught with failure.
Filled with disappointments that have deprived you of precious sleep.
Laden with bouts of miscarriages and recurring rounds of ailments.

I can hear;
The deep groans you utter...

HAVE A LISTEN

No one could stand it
A long    quiet    period
Yes!    intense quiet
We who are so used to noise
We would go stark raving mad!

And what antidote?
Why   the antidote is noise
With electric shocks
Little spurts of pure...
