Best Second Thought Poems


A Second Thought
You buy her a rose.
Make your way downtown only to find out through a text she wants to see other people.
You go to throw away your rose......but before you do, it hits you.
The flower is no less beautiful.
It smells just as heavenly.
The world still turns...

Pity Me, Or On Second Thought, Pity Them
What can I do?
My brethren - Dank. We are
not fit to wipe the asses of
these sons of the star of David -
and yet, we crush their horrid
corpsed lives beneath Nazi-issued
boots. We want to live, too.

Say I actually approach my
officer, pout, give him my best
spiel, if...

For wisdom I thought sacred texts would suffice
Then I bowed my head and began to think twice
Some may take offence
But two thousand years hence
I pray those folks don't look back to us for advice

The word 'If,' a genuine tower of power
    Just ask your better half this Sunday
  If I behave, If I'm a really, really, good boy

  Can we skip the long line at the restaurant
    on Mother's Day...

ON SECOND THOUGHT
   On second thought, I've changed my mind,
We do nothing for ourselves but waste time.
   Day after day, week after week, we learn nothing,
Honestly, don't you think we should be doing something?
   Our minds being at an...

On Second Thought
On second thought please leave 
You promised kindness in your poetry
Which in the beginning was very sweet 
But on another site where jokes abound
You started treating me like a Hound
I tried to just ignore the mean ones
But now I think they're getting crass
And I won't...

A Second Thought
It was a day unlike any other before, 
The day I wasn't alone anymore. 
A beautiful day, the sun in the sky,
The day I vowed to make you my guy.
On that day I found what I sought,
It was the day I gave love a second...

I thought that she was smiling at me
Until I saw her reaching for the Tums
I thought that she was giving me a wink
Until I saw the contact sitting on her thumb
I thought that she was waving at me
Until I saw the bee buzzing round her...

On second thought, I stand corrected;

We actually, truly are very connected;

Back and forth poems always sharing;

Things about them constantly comparing.


Maybe corrections may have to be made;

Then back and forth ideas we will trade

Until happy balance eventually do reach

The both do decide to stroll...

Maybe I need solitude 
Romance requires work to do
Am I up to loving true
Is it enough to love you

Perhaps my muse is my mate
The onyx one who got away
And fills my sun with anticipate
Melted moon runs as night time sedates

Is the quest much more to...

On a Second Thought
on a second thought
sometimes I wish 
I was never here 
on a second thought
I was made to be here 

sometimes I want to fight
on a second thought
I think about it outcome
if it worth it 

sometimes I wish for 
what I need 
what I don't have...
