Best Show Of Hands Poems

A part of the upper crust of society

I certainly have never been

Methinks “down to earth” more accurately

Describes this old *****sapien

No airs, no talking big, no flamboyant flair

and finished the abortion at a quarter to nine.
The partial birth process was a total success

By one O’clock doc had a wood in his hands
and drove down the fairway...

We find you guilty
Of making a mockery
Out of poetry

(You talking to me)

And must insist
You cease and desist
In your writing of this

(Insanity)

You must take to heart
That this is an art
Not some shopping cart

(To fill your needs)

Take it back to the top
Before it all got
More crazy than...

A show of hands requested here.
Small beer to ask...

A beer for those responding,
And three cheers for the great healer, love,
In mountains far away.

Just to make themselves look better and then call you a name
Yes we know you have so much sense
So you flood our brains with your arrogance
Sounding like a narcissistic antagonist
Leaving us all with a low...

I think when all is done and said
I could use a nap
How many by a show of hands
Like me are down with that

I feel like I am zombiefied 
One of the walking dead
Just need a simple place where I
Can lay this weary head

If I'm forced...

Love in Helvetia?
A show of hands requested here.
(Searching for love's basis)
(Would lead to basic truth.) 
Small beer to ask,
(But wherefore shall we start?)

A beer for those responding.
(The heart won't say...)
And three cheers for the great healer, love,
In mountains far away.

Spring has arrived, her cycle of life beckons
As she thrills us with greened anew

Buds grace the light as if blinking in the sun
Bulbs of many play peekaboo through the softening soils

As days grow into weeks, vistas explode all around
Colours aplenty bloom into a plumage of...

Our Black Lives Matter team was hosting
another monthly forum on racism,
as regularly scheduled,
anti-patriarchal business as usual.

The facilitator opened with a question,
asking for a show of hands.

"If you had to choose
between two nominees for public office,
or any form of executive leadership,
one promising multicultural compassion
and the other...

I've stood on mountains high
Swung the valley's low
Kissed the starry sky
Spoke of what I know

Swam the oceans deep
Walked the desert sands
Calmed the savage beast
Made up my demands

Seen the city streets
In the city's fog
Heard the jungle beats
Coming of the dawn

Conclusions that are drawn
In the dead of...
