Best Sameness Poems

It cocks an eye at me.
I recall, as a boy, I stood
by a window looking at a sparrow
just like this one.
Every feather could be the same,
even the mien and stance
of the bird – the same.
I had never thought of myself
as a tree,
yet all my life
I’ve...

When life slips into sameness
And the days go drifting by,
Those who shuffle, feeling aimless,
Should find other fish to fry.

For the bored are never blameless
Since there’s so much they can do
Without being bold or shameless
In the projects they pursue.

We can all claim sloth or lameness
If we...

Fog's covering makes stealth of forest and creek
Sun's rising purple 'on all to be seen
A slight coolnees in morn's air for me to seek
Only for few hours that can be gleaned

There is a sameness to this morn's sunrise
As the orange fireball comes above trees
Sometimes sameness...

Oh, sameness...hear here,
what a fable of lies,
it's in difference where love opens our eyes,
not one of our fingerprints match the same,
who are we to judge love's measures and gains,
but we do,,,all the time,
we think we're protecting our love in these chaotic times,
yes, i still dream...it...

the big picture will roll around
found within the romantic bliss
of one & another’s initial journey,
where questions that are not simple
get asked of the other, to establish 
some kind of “spiritual” center 
in the person laying there in the bed beside
or across the table in a...

Hemmed in on each side by pier post
And rope that holds no hope.
But in the East the sun everyday rises
Assurance in sameness there's no need to grope

Thrust this test into wonder,
And fracture away from this

It's the sameness which brings comfort to my soul
the routine that shares itself with me
like a warm cup of hot chocolate
or a steaming cup of tea
the chores have got to be done so the other things will flow
and allow spaces between work and play and...

A scrimmage
A scrummage
A squeamage
A dirvage

A political tryst
Dividing up sides
Slapping too easy
Assault rifles on

The reds
The blues
The greens
The yellows

A scrimmage
A scrummage
A squeamage
A dirvage

We laugh at our diversity
Knowing our sameness 
Is what really matters

The media wins.
And we sit by
And let them....

We are all going to wear khaki pants to the parade.
What’s khaki? I ask, knowing, but wanting to see his reaction.
He is new, and I love to toy with the new guy.
“You know,” he says, “Um, tan, plain, dull, plain, tan.”
“I don’t have any pants...

Variety is the spice of life 
At least that's what they say..
We celebrate different colours 
Yet the world still chooses grey

There's room for different flavours
Whether green leaf, pulse or grain
Banana loaf or carrot cake?
Nutrition stays the same

The truth it seems is constant
With the source identified;
Humans...

Some people find comfort in living the same day 
Every day doing what they did yesterday in the same way. 
I know a man who ate a ham sandwich with cheese plain 
No condiments every day and cut exactly the same

I thrive on change. Daily...

Mere readers and writers we are,
Tell me, who’s found a new letter?

Seers as if of same stars in sky,
As same water’s recycled nigh,
Vibes of the same waves on us vie.

To learn same things we’ve strived so far,
Mere readers and writers we are.

A few letters, world...

Many are gabbing, like magpies on steroids.  
As if we are getting away with something.
Our big chance to speak to adults, and we are taking it. 
Teachers at a faculty meeting.
I distance myself in proximity and mindset. 
This is a weekly meeting. I can...
