Best Renege Poems

And I begin my own steep climb into 
The Chalkland Downs                                  ...

“And you call yourself a bloody cook”, this mongrel shearer said.
“I oughta ram this rubbish down yer’ throat, it’ll kill a bloke stone dead.”
He’s talking ‘bout the stew I burnt, which I hoped he couldn’t focus.
That he’d gulp it down with ‘red-eye’ wine, and he...

In hell is called Malebolge a site
Completely made of ferrous color stones  
As almost all the rim around looks quite.

Of the malignant field the middle zones
Are the seat for a well much wide and deep,
Of which I will portray order it owns.

The remaining band...

I will pay no more
I declare myself bankrupt
I cannot afford
the interest rates
All collateral is spent
so I must renege

So weary, so tired
of bearing these false burdens
Now I cut the cords
I cast off the load
and lay it before Thy feet
The debt is cancelled......

WHEN I WAS LITTLE
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS

				

When I was little everyone was old or tall
An innocence that spiraled into free fall
Most everything then was black or white
Most everything then was wrong or right

I trusted anything that was dosed to me
I thought all ideas were given motive...

I heard her cackling, wicked with delight
Looked up to find her evil silhouette
Against the amber moon Halloween night
Seeing me below, she made a dire threat

“At midnight your teeth will fall from your head
Your thick, lustrous hair will drop to the floor
Your sight will be blocked...

I spent too long in the sand, 
the day has ran,

I am a dam,

the waters run cold, 
and that is bad,

turn around and grab,
because the air of the wind isn't fun,

teeter totter with the band-
let um go laugh...

Take a polygraph: ask 
'how sad are the...

Drug dealers sell not far from your door,
patiently waiting there in the dark.
And with cash in hand, you look to score,
trolling back alleys, daunting and stark.

A storm-soaked sky spits pieces of grey,
pummeling the ground with hail and rain.
And as you're jonesing on the way,
fear fuels...

You promised on our wedding day
To take me for your wife,
That from that day forward
You'd stay beside me all my life.

Yet when better days were over
And money got a little tight,
You started being horrible
Causing us to fight.

You promised you would care for me
In sickness and...

Dear god, she prays, an unfamiliar sensation, 
The words tripping clumsily off her tongue: 
Dear God, I know I don’t talk to you as often as I should 
And I know I sin like it’s going out of style, 
But please, 
Please, with icing sugar...

TOO LONG LORD


Too long Lord,
Too long to repair your estate;
For how long shall you wait 
Watching your morning sweat going
Down the drain? Your inertia worries me.

When the seas run over their beaches,
Why Lord ? Why are you so indifferent ?
The damage of Tsunami, typhoon this,
Typhoon...

Can I have your attention please;
Just a moment of your time.
In life we have no guarantees;
We must live with our begrime.

No do overs where it matters most;
No chance to sit idly by.
To sulk within our morose;
Or play into the conquer and divide.

Let us be as...

I can’t hear you- you see, 'cause my glasses are crooked,
And I hear with my eyes so I never get "snookered".

So beware what you do, not so much what you say,
And if you "renege" then you must walk away.

"Cause cheaters are booted from this old...

A Little Phone Call Malcolm and Donald
   by Bob Moore

Hello Donald
That Afro-American President,  lived there just before you
agreed to take these Middle Eastern fellers from Naru
they are a bloody handful, getting worser every day
when you gonna send a boat, and take them...

Keeping One's Word is a rare find today,
Since VERY few follow, do what they say.
Words are so easy to dispense and spew,
But require investment to follow them through.

When in confidence to someone you speak,
Can you really be sure, they will not leak
Anything said in private...
