Best Quit Poems

What happens when the moon isn't up to her best?
She takes a break,
Dozes for a while,
And comes back shining brighter than she ever did!

What happens when the ocean waves lose their energy?
They lap at low tide,
Allow themselves some peace in their lonely expanse
Merely to enjoy...

Night stirred memories, once forgotten of the days 
I burnt in love when you consumed my days,
and I carried you like a queen in the palanquin of my thoughts!

without forethought, to elbow out the marauding of memories,
I set out, travelling miles, my heart throbbing in...

Never Quit

Can you put together and combine each one?
Then when completed and are finally done
Many ideas in your mind caused much traffic
And soon became a poem which was a classic.

Hurdles and obstacles were to avoid and climb
While other subjects truly seemed so sublime
And another poem...

Don’t Quit



When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you are trudging seems all uphill,

When funds are low, and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but...

Feelings
expressed in words of endearment
A cheek stroking breeze on a hot Summer day
Cool of tile floor to walking bare feet
The squeeze of a hand.
A quick little hug
Tentative brushing the hair from your face
Following that with a tender embrace
Hoping you're hearing what I haven't said
and that...

like the raven 
who taps taps upon 
your chamber door
do not fret my Virginia
for it's my shadow
moving across the floor
this is what I'm telling you my darlin
and nothing more

beneath lattice
I still call your name
come to me virginia
come hear the tap tap 
upon your chamber door

I left it there
Tucked into a warm corner
Beneath the ancient Elm.

I return frequently
To visit this moment
Bathe in its peace.

Listen for the rustle
Of leaves, the chatter
Of flippant squirrels.

Sink into the warmth
Of moistly scented soil
And crusted tree bark.

I left it there
That dream
That day.

I return
Longing to continue
That days...

Stop complainin’ ‘bout how much
yer stomach hurt
It’s yer own fault that yer feelin’ that way
Got a heavy Ding Dong diet
of cream-filled, empty truth lies
Low-cal info givin’ ya no energy news blues
Creatin’ irregular bowel movements
that keeps sendin’ ya ta da bathroom
It’s yer own double dog fault,
so...

Dont quit,Dont regret,
Fly in the sky like a jet.
Even the tiny ants keep trying,
So are you gonna keep crying.

Dont be a whiny baby,
You can be the hulk maybe.
Just keep going on your track,
You should never look back.

I once suffered a hard defeat,
Learning from your mistakes...

I’m done I say, I’m mad and sad.
The ones that won were rather bad
I won’t try again
Sponsor rigged the win
I always knew he was a cad

Someday soon 
I'm gonna quit what's killing me
The pain in my side's not by choice
But I beg to be free

I remember the days 
When it was all in fun
Now my head is loaded 
And its aimed at this gun

I quit the beer....
But it never quit...

Never, Never Quit

When the entire universe is out
to do you in,
When you know you have both
morality and integrity,
My friend, what lies ahead of you
is one gigantic win!

For you have the wind at your back,
the sunshine on your face.
You are far, far above falsehoods and 
jealous,...
