Best Overhauled Poems

Winter is approaching.
 I feel it in my floorboards; in my baseboards;
in every nook and cranny.
I wait to be filled again at this time of Thanksgiving, and
As I wait, sounds of the past linger in my consciousness:

The excited moans of the men and of the...

She’s taken the driving test so many times
That the trainer allowed her a license
She’s already had several small accidents
And now she feels she’s in a crisis

She bought a new car, shiny and black
That she brought in to show us today
However she won’t drive it during...

We boomers, as our generation’s called,
have lived through two seasons, considered great,
during which our values were overhauled --
The Summer of Love and Autumn of Hate.
Both brought us together and gave us hope.
In the face of injustice, both were staged --
the first, a celebration with free...

March 8th - International Women's Day The World Over

Down to the wire, before this
calendrical occasion doth expire,
though arbitrary twenty four hour
time set aside for guide
ding hand of the supposed/purported
fairer gender, yet human race, yet hide
bound male oriented (patriarchal) must
relinquish reigns of power and egoistic pride!

Survival...

a million minds meandering
wondering whether wise
can continue in chaos
till onus openly overhauled
then doubt duly dissipates
fear fizzles finally
eventually everything eases
finding beautiful baseline balance....

The flames flickered and licked
We-men, women and infants
Unknowingly,
They licked up potential 
They licked up dreams
They licked up futures
They innocently licked up hopes

Fires cremated failures and frustrations
Like bulldozers they overhauled and mauled little pockets
Of joys and tears of ghetto residents

Here, they smoked potential
Here, they smoked greatness
Here,...

The roads not taken is another one missed opportunity, 
Wich in return is you driving with out meaning, 
Hanging your head causing friction, 
Slowing you're motion, 
Eventually coming to a rolling stop, 
And will lead to self destruction, 
Leaving you bound & broken, 
On a...

Tears dripped from my eyes 
Fear gripped my tender hope 
Death has stinged my lovely bole 
And sealed it in a forgotten hole.
I looked with clear curiosity ;
shadow hooked me with cruel hostility 
And my hope zoomed into a misty city 
As the dark room...

Got a jury questionnaire – 
They really have some nerve!
I’ve paid my dues; I’m not so young
And I don’t wanna serve!

There must be people willing
Or who haven’t once been called.
Perhaps it’s time the system
Was completely overhauled.

Let all of us who’ve served before
Be evermore exempt,
Or else...

When people accuse me
Of being a man of unstable mind,
I do not get offended—
I do not mind!
 
My mind Is constantly
Growing, developing,
Evolving, changing…

Why should I
Stand by everything
I said yesterday?
 
What I said yesterday
Was true of yesterday
But, why should it remain 
The same today?
 
Everything changes...

I know, I grow old, I grow old….
As silver threads peek in my head.
The flush on radiant cheeks wanes, 
And a pallid tint creeps unseen.
Fading years have robbed the ardour,
And a rigid sobriety sinks and settles.
With EXPENSIVE health gadgets
I cannot bring back my lost youth.

I...

Whilst an ivory sky, my mast ignite.
As tidal waves flicker in sparks that gleam.
Igneous scarlet pyres still blazing night.

The amber sparks hover in swooping sight.
