Best Sort Them Out Poems

They Call It Wounded Knee 

I came, I saw, I cried;
To the field where they died.
They call it Wounded Knee;
My peoples' history.

Bodies lying, frozen to the ground;
No mourners to be found.
Children still clinging to their mothers;
Laying dead beside their brothers.

The smell of death in the...

Steve works in a call center
to earn an honest bob
but some days he can't believe
the words that flow from some folks gob

They cus and curse
Then eff and blind -
you'd not believe your ears
and if he wasn't made of sterner stuff
he'd leave the room in tears!

Many shapes like problems

Try to make it whole

Keep within your head
Gives direction

Finish puzzle
Gives you satisfaction

Dad is that you?    What are you doing there in the mirror?

I am trying to shave and I don’t need any help.

Do they shave in heaven or is it just cribbage and puzzles?

Do you like it there? 

 Does it matter?

Yes of...

How they see us from afar. 
I saw a planet it was blue,
It had a white tip. and a bottom one too.
The people here are funny lot, 
Some like to kill, and some do.
Others destroy, thinking properties a toy.
They can create, so much good.
But they...

When the sun sets over the mountain
Signaling the end of a day
Do we pretend our feelings that get put away
Just magically light up on display
For us to deal with on some far off distant day
If only life worked out that way

For us to rewrite our...

American Idol

Those rolling eyes and special quirks
I love the way you smile and smirk.
Sly sharp barbed Simon Cowell,
Caustic comments make me howl.

Your silent sneer and stately smear,
Make some contestants shake with fear.
That is one way to sort them out!
Before they cry, make signs, or shout....

they caught that nasty varmint, that killed old sheriff Beck;
And by the time we're done with him, he'll be hanging from the neck.

Send them to the guillotine and watch their heads roll off the block;
An aristocrat is less than human, so to kill them is...

I cast my gaze on other folk,
and sort them out with shoulds and musts.
My problem is a certain bloke;
his comport fills me with disgust.
Reflecting on him, all I see:
myself, just staring back at me.

Florida is definitely in the USA 
I’m kinda worried because Milt will soon be on his way
I found a map and studied it and found a ‘Melbourne’ there
I hope he gets the right plane or he could get quite a scare
So if Milt disembarks the...

Sometimes caring too much can be dangerous
There is always a reflection of Cain and Abel next to you
It is good to love in stages
So that you don’t allow yourself to end up in a cage
And be enslaved by a misguided notion

My biggest losses came from...

The angels from heaven sprinkle the tears from high; they fall as dew on the earth,
Tears that came from the heart, tears collected from birth.
Through the fits of joyful laughter, to the sobbing of heartache and pain,
They roll down the cheeks, only to be gathered...

I broke my heart,
Into many
Different fragments
Each with its own fragrance:
Pick the one that suits you.

He loses the battle of love;
Who quits fighting for it,
When he has won a heart.

Going back to high school
When letters were slow
Processors of emotions:
When you sat, my love,
Before a teachers' tribunal,
The...

I know how you feel
All the feelings inside of you
Have got you so confused
Not knowing what the right thing to do is
Not knowing why people are reacting the way they are
Not knowing why your best
Never seems to be your best
I know how you feel
So sick...
