Best Polite Poems

Today, I got into a Polite Fight
Over the last Wonder Woman night-light
"Oh, its yours," I insisted,
She demurred, I resisted,
Until I gave in and let her be right!

Fingers toy with my nearly worn out bank card.
Not too confident, I hold onto my nerves, hard.
Ahead, petty items in her trolley hold me slowed.
The cashier stops, lengthily examining a bar code.
I glance around at the growing queue, blindly.
I bump into him, behind me, and...

We say polite words everyday,
When at home, school and when we play;
They’re like magic bear-hugs on air,
Everyone feels our love and care.

            Say, “good morning, good afternoon,”
       ...

Imagine with me
that your local
political
economic community,
municipality,
bioregion
is a communication network
already at hand,
like a potentially benign kingdom
or mutually informed democracy,

Which is what some residents actively hope for
as a peaceful sacred communion
and others engage in active voting campaigns
and political party platform design
for restoring Earth Justice communities
as architects for...

Presented Polite Priest To Our Parish

There are many things that poems can contain;
Fragrant flowers which will flow in a spring rain;
Sky full of clouds and mountain top with snow,
While across some wide sea wind would blow.

Heard a polite priest who we love in our parish;
Could...

When I rob banks, the tellers panic with fright.
But I'm not a mean thief, I'm always polite.
When I demand money from the tellers, I always say please.
So far I'm a crook that the Police haven't been able to seize.
One bank teller was a man who...

It seems maniacal,
Black Rabbit Hole easy
kinda sleazy
to sexualize every thought

And, yet, 
all too easy
to desexualize
to decontextualize
multisensory feelings
deep and widely organic
roots from ancient EarthMother wisdom

Sometimes polycultural transparency above,
conjoining multicultural vulnerability below,
gives peak orgasmic conversational sway

To passion's Left/Right co-balancing day
of protruding Yang verbal dominance
seducing Yintegrity's shaded neural...

Learning Young

From back when I was 7 and 8, 
When candy bars cost 5 cents, 
And  “being polite” meant 
Even to strangers.  The wrinkled,
Baggy, old man, who
Lived in the basement apartment
Next-door, with the pass-time 
Of sitting outside on his 
Stoop atop five steps...

Losers

Do you waver. are you shy?
When they look at you
do their eyes imply:
"We'll have to make do"?

Do you doubt your reasons,
suspect your goals,
commit self-treason
defer to trolls?

Are you always too reflective?
Are all your victories retrospective?
Do you try to do what's right
and end up being too polite?

Take...

Positivity presents polite poses,
Parties pave productive pathways,
Problems pass, pain pauses,
Practical perspective proves purposeful.
People practice perseverance,
Population produces powerful partnerships,
Peace prevails....

My mom has eyes like a hawk. 
They‘re in the back of her head. 
In town, she told me not to gawk.
I followed down the path she led.

We saw a tiger wearing skates
I stared and saw her scowl!	
There was a basket full of snakes. 
Still...

Be Not Afraid
 
Life’s full of real mysteries and unending challenges,
yet, never despair, rather always be resolute and bold. 

At times, some people in varied situations, always  
thrive on playing to the certain fears of other people. 

Sad to say, it just seems that...
