Best Rack Up Poems

I have ADD.

Having... what I have's like playing billiards*!
I aim my thoughts
like a cue ball at a stripe**
and hit a solid** color...

It wipes me out!  I forfeit my next shot!
My Critic-of-all-dreams does the thinking, then!
And THEN, it seems my friends all make their shots,
And...

DUCK AFTER DUMP PING THE DON

You may withdraw yourself from others
Become quiescent or lackadaisical
Disrupt sleep or appetite alter
Feel sluggish or delirious

When the echoes of your parents'altercations
Rack up your eggshell mind
When you avoid people whose company 
You've typically rejoiced relishing

Yet you remain part of the quotidian process
That regaling you would your...

#BadAzKillR

he squeezed gently
pinching the lever once again
and felt the intense power being let
loose travel up his arm …
whiffs of sulfur smoke acting like a
drug on his sinuses
eyes widening with a surge
of pure adrenaline -
loud concussions slapping his
ears like a drill sergeant and
drowning out the
distant shrieks...

Lightning fiercer glares to inform, 
Clouds soon thunder above, 
Boisterous waves rack up a storm,
Giving their ship a shove;

Lighthouse calmly gleams to remind,
Beacon so bright below,
Even in dark, their ship does find 
Its guiding light aglow;

Light tower silently stands guard,
To storms not a stranger,
Bears the...

I woke up this morning and I took my breath,
prayed to Allah that I took that step.
Making it's hard but I cooked what's left
and saved the rest for the family
can of peas
that I took off the shelf,
you understanding me.
I have dreams so everyday I stand...

Daily Poetry #73, April 11, 2017
Word: Train

The miles rack up and the train continues it's path,
And I count down the distance for when we'll meet; simple math.
Love is such a complex thing that's constantly changing,
Like the train that I'm traveling on, let's keep on going.

Every...

They had gathered from all around
With special invitation in hand
No professional was allowed
To take part in this grand
...event

Just your every day, run of the mill
Person without culture or fame
Putting their baking skills to work
In hopes of being named
...winner

As the tickets were gathered
And members were assigned...

“THE MASKING OF LOSS”



we used to talk a lot. 
we collaborated our ideas 
into something that's had 
me hooked since. 
she's been in a new 
relationship for a while 
and it's clearly gone 
to her head. 
there hasn't been much 
time between the two but...

We have a hundred brands of bubblegum
In the shops that line our streets.
We have thirty-five flavors of potato chips
For those with waistlines to increase.
We have cars and trucks of every size
To set our hearts aglow.
We have numerous streaming options
To watch our favorite shows.

We produce videos...

People are pacified by points of view
Let free for lying locked up for being 
true
Insane from the pressure and what 
we have to do
Judges influenced by investments 
so the verdicts past due
Attorneys for hire, just a liar
Who knows the right people, money 
is power
Minds bloom...

We hang low from angles
Back up we stack up
Like gold under rainbows
The pool balls we rack up

Back up we stack up
Words are in my veins
The pool balls we rack up
And stain onto my brains

Words are in my veins
So just trust me
And stain onto my brains
You...

Come post presidential election 2024... 

heil to the Wharton chief firebrand -
more worrisome than an ovarian cyst
every race, religion, nationality, 
gender, creed, et cetera with impunity dissed
brigand able, eager, ready and willing
to punch contenders throwing his fist
against rival – one nasty and brutish soul

Strong suspicion a 2024 presidential win...

for the trumpeting don
spells loss for democracy
after inauguration day
witnesses his swearing-in
nepotism will run rampant
lawlessness the name of the game
of thrones breaking apart ramparts
of inalienable rightful
freedoms rent sunder, whereby nothin
can stop formidable has-been
former forty fifth commander in chief
to wreak havoc giving...
