Best Retakes Poems

My auntie her first name is Beryl
Put other road users in peril
She mounted the sidewalk
The pedestrians squawk
and report her to Sherriff Merrill

The Sherriff puts her under arrest
as Beryl says she tried her best
But before Beryl kills
With her dire driving skills
He insisted she retakes her test

The...

NOTE:  A young college football player who plays for a team that I follow was seriously hurt this 
past weekend.  I wrote this poem in honor of that young man and in hopes of a speedy 
recovery.


The scarlet warrior with foe in sight,
Stops...

It's full of jokes
But sometimes pains
When you have retakes....

There are times when waking up is hard
Easier when you are near yet difficult if far
That's when I stay down like a fallen card
As though I am as stuck as a star.

Do you watch the moon while I see it shine?
Are there lights or is...

I Will Rise, Above Heart's Weakness
(I Will Rise Above -MY - Heart's Weakness)


Shall I bend, to your massive will
break chains of my aching heart
Or with infinite time wait until
life gives love's sweeter restart

Shall I cry, into your bad heart
show pain dripping in blood
Or wait until...

Bombs and guns scythe through the innocent
writ in spattered blood evil intent
from youth's garden, saplings gone.
But staunchly rising from the killing floor
Liberty retakes the tricolour
strides a nation, marches on.

A person’s life is in varying shades of change.
However, at times the plans are not prearranged.
Sometimes our journey seems to have lots of mistakes,
Even when you know in life there are no retakes.

At times a life can get stuck in unfamiliar limbo,
With a heart so...

I got butterflies 
Up and down my stomach 
If you feel the same way show me how bad you want it
Whenever you come around
I try to act cool, be smooth
But I keep on fumbling making mistakes
Wishing there was a slate so I could do retakes
Quietly...

Bribery sins…
.Spurns and prides are taking passes.
Passing balances all are cases and tasks.
Some retakes are warrants put.
Pick the tough ropes not only straws to last.
PINKO god-some will need the disciplines.
Doors to Eden just are door ajar.
Some things harmonic needed our justices to cohere.
Feels are fear...

One hundred first dates, 
seventy five second dates, 
fifty retakes, 
twenty five out takes, 
all to equal, 
one mistake, 
then,
one forever keepsake....

It's at this time I like to write
No longer day, but not yet night
Where Sun and darkness can not see
The Silent One come visit me
Where shadows flow like whispered rhymes
Of sorted tales and grueling times
And so collaborate we do
In the twilight just we two 
To...

I've found land again, the darkest land that I have seen,
And I can't see a single thing.
I sense these peoples ears perk up as I begin to lie again,
"I'm staying in sick again",
Huhh these lies ain't thickening.
Status update, now I'm writing silly s-it again,
On impulse,...

Praying for Reincarnation
David J Walker

David is someone else and
I am merely playing his part
Memorizing then repeating 
His lines 
	That I would never say
Stumbling over mistakes 
Begging for retakes 
Hoping I stay 
	In character 
Throughout the passions play
And then
	Play the part better
On another 
better day

David is...

Happiness is an illusion, a mirage, a delusion
    fostered by a trial separation of truth from reality.
You have to be made to be happy
Or succumb to the happy state.
Few are born happy, newborn babies cry
Few die happy, unless in sweet dreams asleep.
True...

Hey Babe, it's Me here!
The day's on the run!
The remakes
And half takes
Are for the boss
And the bum!

Hey Babe, it's Me here!
The chase is for the bit!
The truck is not 
A train yet 
The heart will see
The hit!

Hey Babe, It's Me here!
The tug is for the...
