Best Right On Poems
I had a cat, a large one
I thought I loved the cat
The cat thought he loved me too!
Then, one day,
They took the cat away
The cat, with the bassinet, the little furry presence
And Sameeha’s science club chapstick
And I thought I was kissing scientific a book cover
Where he is artistic in a beauty in the other way, rare.
It was a cat. After all, it was just a cat
It had the nicest jacket ,
with hoodies on,
the cat used to sit on time,
the cat
And it had the fish, tummy time, happy face, and everything first time
For I never yearn to come back! For there, to chime!
It is just a known type of pain that I knew for far too long!
On a question paper, pm time, departmental too
Dealey Plaza, are you keeping right on the still unresolved Elm street?
Heavenly God , do you play around heavenly to utter Godsay, is your slip
Where you do not know usually after or before the strait the gate
You never knew Jack Ruby and you never knew Oswald
So you never knew other than too much other than, Please, other tall!
1 Would you say that you’d like to write better?
2 Keep writing whether book or love letter.
3 Great writers don’t quit, they write quite a lot.
4 If tempted to stop they simply did not
5 The best of the best, I’d even dare say,
6 Wrote not a few that they just threw away.
7 When eyes of blank pages stare up at you
8 “Quitting makes perfect,” has never been true-
9 ly the more that you practice you’ll find
10 forsooth erelong you shall broaden your mind.
11 The pen is a sword of limitless might;
12 If something is wrong, words can make it write.
13 Words are like arrows that target the soul.
14 They twang, zip, then thump when shot with control;
15 Untrained words injure and never strike true.
16 So religiously write, routinely review
17 For words are the lamp, through darkness lighting.
18 So always, forever just keep right on writing.

A surprise anniversary gift,
Caused giggles, which gave me such a lift,
If I was a nun,
I sure could have fun,
A cucumber .. if you get my drift!
My lovely friend Chris gave me a bag with some chocolates and a card and carefully wrapped in white tissue paper was a 9 inch cucumber which her husband had grown - it certainly made me giggle!

I still believe all politicians are not liars and dishonest
Though it is difficult to find those are consistently so
Those who will face harsh realities on election day
Dishonest peers will work together to see them go.
Right on, Liz Cheney! for standing up for what was right
Republicans turned their backs on her; she was ousted,
She stood like a beacon of justice against Trump’s big lie
Proving her words, what was right; it cannot be doubted.
Honest politicians have always been scorned by others
For they work on principle; for them, values are prized
And when confronted by their unscrupulous peers,
Most of them are not entirely taken aback or surprised.
Many honest politicians voluntarily return to civilian life
Eschewing the titles, plans, plush allowances, longevity
When they realize they are unable to make a difference,
Will trade the lifestyle of Washington for common decency.

Yo baby, show lots of skin.
Sexy, trashy girly glams,
crank up classy. Young fun,
ultimate goal appear buff,
why focus on the candies.
Looky stark naked unsightly scene Hoochy coochy hot mama
Transition to a feature film,
sexy big bouffant 'fro,
Road kill, hopping show.
Tinsel town’s Christmas ornament.
Singing siren in a tree,
Style star, cheeky mood,
mesmerized pool reflections,
love with self the only goal.
Very Hollywood spreading wings
in Armani, puce, puke, puked.
Burn the house down Bo delicious
Bo peep lost her sheep,
Bo constrictors ate them all.
Sweaty salty songster sandwich,
More then the audience can eat.
Fierce frumpy funky fuzzy What’s that, that’s who,
Sizzling siren out of her mind.
SHA-ZAM, POW, HOLY ICONS!
Here on our very own stage,
Byzantine rituals make you cringe
Golden idols will make you singe.
Spend wisely but buy Chinese.
I think about her everytime that the sunset and sunrise
She just a piece of ass to some guys
But she's more than, loyal, the type to hold your back
Stepping to her man and she's down to scrap
Met as strangers through halls of school, just passing by
In the same class just a couple hi and byes
She had her head in books while I was letting the smoke swirl
Cute with brains like Topanga on Boy Meets World
My heart was like Cory's, approached her with my story
Saying feelings are sincere
Then i started thinking about you everywhere
Your fine wine these other broads are beer
You on higher level the rest can't compare
Wanna elevate you, all these haters gonna do is talk and stare
That's what they do to royalty, What's a King without his Queen?
Your last rook took an L, let's see what this relationship could bring
To my new state of mind
Spend every minute with you, cause your right on time
Dealing with these problems on these lonely streets
When I've fallen, she's the one to bring me to my feet
After a long day, we take a shot the Bombay
Politic about life while cheifing on a bomb J
She opens up about her how present is reflection of her past
raised by a single mother, barely saw her dad
Only when it was visiting hours cause he was busy with powder
So in these crooked cats she was looking for that
Somthing deeper than an object
A Maya Angelou poem with a meaningful concept
-Quincy Cannon
POW! Right on the Kisser!/b>
In my best dreams you plant one (POW! Right on the kisser!)
but not with your fists, my dear, war’s touch is fiercer
than lips I aspire to, and tastes more like passion, chance given,
poor heart so enraptured by glances. By mercies I’m riven,
feel hog-tied and gagged in your presence, my soul ice,
blood boils (at the same time), mind locked - is this paradise?
Will life’s end know the answer, must blood pay for verdict?
Is love on God’s path for my life? Am I addict
just looking for hit, hooked on smack? Place reserved at Love’s table,
a chance I’ll be chosen to join who sits there? As I’m able
(dear loved ones) I’ll save seats for you! Christ’s the soul’s hope,
His Grace said, “sufficient for all!” (If faith saves that’s dope)!

By the truths of
Judah
I never thought I'd
be
Thinking on it
backwards
As I rarely often
need
The journey started
somewhere
In a daydream of a
night
They took everything
away from me
Except my innocence
of life
Now I have a slight
Gift of the
righteous
Put it to good use
As I'm battling the
mindlessness
Now the thousand
army of Lucy
Come to wring my
neck
Slipping through the
shadows
Have to watch my
every step
For if I fall in
The lightbringer
will
Soon be dead
As the righteous
inherit their
kingdom
when it comes to be
that it resides
inside their head
15 and searching for love
I don't know what I give
Like soaring on the wings of dove
I just want to find one to live
For them and only them
So I can feel complete
I want the epitome of men
Beautiful,
Kind,
Cool,
Thoughtful,
Smart,
And all I ever wanted for me
Was to have her by my side
Mabey I'm selfish and just need
But if she were here for this ride
Life would never be down
And I'd never touch the ground
On top of the world I'd stay
Stars would sway
Like idols make fans shift
We would control the time rift
Light like the moon
We are brighter than the Sun on the desert dunes
We don't sleep for days
Cuz parties would come in waves
Our fun wont ever end
Again and again
Swiming in the rain
Lets take a Tokyo bullet train
Boating off the Alaska cost
We have love to boast
That we can see
All there can be
Not just alone to wither
We are traveling together
I wont ever let go
No more weeks alone
And on I'm living
You give the need for my heart to keep beating
Later on through the years
After blood sweat and tears
I want more than just you and me
I want all we can be
A kid or two
With the house and my Corvette painted electric blue
What would I care
Cuz you be there
I might be getting greedy
But I want to treat you to all your wants and needs
Now that the kids are off its just Us again
No need to say when
Our time to finish what we started
Until at last we are parted
But instead lets meet
At the doors of peace
Then the Really fun begins
The won to stop last wins
It will be
all right
on the
night,
though
it had a
bad
background.
It will be
all right
on the
night,
though
hopeless
today
sound.
I've
been a
sinner.
I have
never
lived in
light.
My faith
is
getting
thinner.
But it
will be
all right
on the
night.
My
animals
died of
disease.
My
plant
suffered
blight.
My
wealth
daily
decrease.
But it
will be
all right
on the
night.
Manner
of
friendship
change.
My
friend
intend
us to
fight.
I can't
change
this
strange.
But it
will be
all right
on the
night.
All
chicks
are in
hidden
house.
Above
flies
hungry
kite
to spare
nothing
even
mouse
But it
will be
all right
on the
night.
We are
in a
community,
where
the
might
trample
on mite.
I knew
the rich
have
inhumanity.
But it
will be
all right
on the
night.
I am the
worst
bard.
Common
lyric,i
cant
write
even
when i
tried
hard.
But it
will be
all right
on the
night.
I never
had
chance
to be
great.
Luck is
unseen
wight.
All
moment
were
filled
with
regret.
But it
will be
all right
on night
parishioner’s prayer answered readily —
grandsons suddenly appear

sometimes we act like we
gotta ask for nothing
our way of trying to get something
beg a little to get what we got
and act satisfied cause it aint a lot
unmind one to do what we need
that save a few to make our selfs believe
likened to tryna be loved
what the hell are we thinking of
save half, bargin and deal
or marry up ya'll know the deal
getting it in
and taking it out
all is spent
you know what that's about
Right on brother
(the things you say)
right on sister
(yes will have me say)
right on brother(tell em)
right on sister!
She didn't want to ask her husband
to grab some grub
what the hell is she thinking of
gallon of milk cost half of that
2 for 2 that's where it's at
scramble to find a betta deal
guess you know that's for real
we need a way to be forreal
tell the world how we feel
calm the real to be right
start up trouble
to cause a fight
than a voice told me
better not
look at him and what he's got
get it right
calm my nerves and contain myself
put the can o squash back on the shelf
Right on Bruhda, right on sista!
asked her lover to borrow twent dollas
he started wanting love
Dad was forever in a hurry
His life filled with tension and worry
He always had to be right on time
If not, he preferred ten minutes early
A terror behind the wheel of his car
He cursed at Heaven and the stars
He'd ride the tail of a slowpoke
Here are names that he'd invoke
You moron, you idiot, you jerk!
You're making me late for work
Nincompoop, numbskull, and pea-brain
You're slower than a worn-out freight train
Dad, of course, was 100% right
And always ready for a fight
'Til the day this came out from my little brother
~ 'That moron drives like my friggin grandmother!'
Your Gold Hair Hung Just Right On Your Shoulders
You enticed bright moonlight to shine brighter
upon your bare shoulders beaming so white.
I dreamed of love and held you much tighter
memory forever held in my sight.
Your gold hair hung just right on your shoulders
soft twinkles graced deeply your blue, blue eyes.
My racing heart screamed, " you be much bolder"
you have enough help from summer skies!
You felt my quickened and hotter breathing
with gentle touch you said, its alright.
This day, Fate decided you are leaving
I fight back welling tears with all my might.
Your passing, sent my lost world down crashing.
Our love, our time, my heart keeps rehashing.

Lord today I need your touch
even more than yesterday
Please come and fill my cup
And touch my life I pray
Extend your loving hand to me
And work your awesome power
So that I may feel your spirt near me
In my desperate hour
I know without a doubt your there
You've never left my side
But it's often hard to deal
With pressures in this life
You said, come my yoke is easy
And I will give you rest
But you may choose another route
And take me through the test
So if that be the case lord,
Please let me faithful be
For in your own good time
You'll come and rescue me
I must have faith my Lord in you
And waver not, nor cry
For though you may be four day's late
Your always right on time
