Best Regular Poems

Satisfied in no satisfactory way
I eat my dreaded shredded wheat.
Ugh.
An everyday food bringing me no joy.
A pattern I have fallen into at breakfast
Reminding me of mundane things
Bringing a mean dose of regular into my life.
While I dream of pancakes with syrup 
and whipped cream, slathered...

I suspect in my feckless youth my folks thought me rather slovenly,
Obnoxious, averse to work and associated with dubious company,
But Air Force sergeants dealt discipline with lingo at times unsweet,
Convincing me that life is easier if things are regular and complete!

They taught me to hang...

I read a poem when but a youth
    That inspired me to something simple see
    When I was young and in poor health
    A regular man  I wanted to be

    I worked...

They say it's a regular show,

When the ground starts to snow,

And the flowers take a bow.

They say it'll be over before I know,

Just when everything became white and aglow.

I bury myself in a place deep below,

Crush the seeds of spring they sow,

Near limpid waters that...

Sometimes I meet people not even meeting them
When I like what they say
And then I really feel there are things above poetry
Which I love with my honest heart


I will be checking for spelling, grammar, hair style, and regular flossing
Mostly I do it all the time...

Well I was born a Trinidadian
 Then I went to America
 I was living in the cold
 But I still like my hot pepper
 
 I live there along time
 But I never use a Yankee twang
 And every where I go
 People knows I’m...

I used to be something special
But now I'm just a regular Joe
I used to be able to carry a tune
But now my gravely voice is too low

I used to be able to dance a jig
I could even do a doe see doe
But now arthritis has...

I believe, 
			therefore I breathe
			the collective id down at
			the mall.
			
			Salvation in the actions of
			our gridiron greats,
			our pro golfers,
			our game show cops,
			our East Village actors,
			our runway planes of even beauty
			that some how forgives me,
			bodes me on a raft of commerce
			through this J.C. Penny moment...
			This...

I want to retire 
Like the Pope,
Maybe
Meet him for coffee
And carrot cake
On a leafy boulevard
And people watch,
Putting the world 
To rights
Like a couple of 
Regular guys
And walking with 
The spring
Of untapped youth....

I'm a marionette 
Managed on strings
With a puppeteer with narcolepsy 
So my mood drops to the floor
Until they wake 
And I dance again...

Sensitive skin 
Scraped by sensitive information
If I don't know who I am, then what will I tell everyone? 
A scuba diver without his mask is just a body in water 
A father without a child is just a stranger 
A lion's head on the wall...

I                           A FLIGHTLESS BUTTERFLY

I was deaf  because mine eyes were fixated on lips that your words were dripping...

1
I am in the park
Holding her hand
The parents staring horrified
Because they are

2 
Homophobic
The only choice 
Is being supportive or unsupportive
And please don't tell me

3
That you are impartial
You are either with me or against me
But either way I am proud of my flag
But it is

4
Shredded up...

When my walls I face
Or round my room pace,
My gaze windows meet
And my two eyes greet …

The same as all doors
But stigma do bear;
Better on all fours
In my finest wear
Through all types of doors
And face foes’ teeth and claws
Than through a window
Asking Barking Bingo!
On the...
