Best Sorted Poems


Hitch 2: Semi-Sorted

By the time you rolled up
I'd been walking for a couple of hours,
after the Grahamstown kids
were probably done with their lunch.
The back of your four-by-four
was the most comfortable place
I'd imagined I'd see that day.
And after a few good jokes
and some stupid ones too,
you dropped me at the YMCA,
promised to pick me up in an hour,
and sure enough you did.
Burgers and beer,
and the easy company
of a couple of familiar strangers,
guys a lot like me,
made a tiresome day go away.
You directed me to the best place
to put out my thumb in the morning,
and a few more good jokes,
and some stupid ones too,
led me to accept
that stumbling to East London,
wayward and tired,
had put me unexpectedly at ease.

Sorted Laughter For Easter Sunday

Today is Easter and how pray tell;
Did that chocolate rabbit hatch an egg?
Not only that I say but his dropings are multi colored;
And it taste like candy.

There's little chance for a picnic at the park;
Today is over cast and not very warm.
But still I bet there are those who tried anyway;
Tridiction is a hard habit to break apparently

Good God I checked my bank account;
I'm running short on money to spend.
Who knows what over priced holiday is comming up next;
Maybe I should get a third job, or take out a loan.

Guess what folks, it's not do-wa-ditty life in the city;
It's life in the good old U.S. of A.
I'd say living here is a gass but I don't drive;
And I couldn't keep my car fueled if I wanted to.
Bless those that have and pitty those who wish they had.

Summer's comming, maybe I'll buy myself a sleeping bag;
I'll head out somewhere and live under the open skies.
Wait a minute, there's no toilet facilities are there?
Scratch that idea I guess, unless someone leaves me a moter home.
Leave- the only thing leaved is the tree in front of my apartment.

Well I hope some of us had a nice Easter Sunday today;
Mine wasn't so bad except it wasn't that different either.
Kind of makes me think I should have learned to eat dates;
And eat with my right hand insted of my left when eating.
Just bent humor folks and do remember not to litter shall we.

Glad You Got It Sorted

England is surely not my homeland,
But their accents and easy going ways,
Makes me want to board a ship,
Set Sail for better days! 

I wonder if they'll see the Queen,
Phillip, Will, George or cute Kate?
Perhaps I too will get the chance,
Oh hurry Ship...Do..Not...Delay!

Cheers!

The Hole Truth

Today I found a pack of holes
with invisible surrounds
I put them in a see through box
in theory out of bounds
If by chance you come across them
please leave them as they are
they're sorted for convenience
so as not to look bizarre
Treat them with respect and care
so important is their place
if not holed up away from sight
they disappear without a trace

Quite Sorted

If I love you, I love from the core of my heart.
If I hate, still it's from the core of my heart.
You need help, my efforts are from the core of my heart.
You out smart me, my revenge is from the core of my heart. 
If you are good to me, I shall be there for you from the core of my heart.
If you belittle me, I will show you your place from the core of my heart.
If you respect and regard me, I shall give you special place in my heart.
If you ignore me, you vanish from my emphatic heart.
If you hold my hand, trust me I will never let you fall.
If you push me, get ready for your down fall.

Yes, I am emotional. I think from my heart.
Yes, I am revengeful, I hate from my heart.
Yes, my eyes have the power to kill you, I look from my heart.
Yes, I am strong and daring, I have the purest heart.
No one can stop me, till I listen to my heart.

Premium Member Sorted It Madly

Dragged multitude of boxes out yesterday.

Sorted them madly, pitching stuff willy-nilly.

My husband offered to take it all away.

Brought half back.  Trusting him was really silly.

Sorted and Escorted Then Deported

Sorted and Escorted Then Deported

Illegal immigrants all were sorted,
Out and they had been  escorted,
Had occurred;
Crying heard,
Then did end up being deported.

So sad seeing a father being deported;
Crying children  need to be comforted.

Heart Break Big Mistake

To me, had been become a  big mistake;
Ended up in bad feelings and heartbreak;
Heard my son;
Want it  done,
And leave her decision do have to make.

Jim Horn

Perceive then Weave Through and Leave

Something was wrong which I would perceive,
Through differences in and out had to weave;
Time did pass by;
And so would sky;
She never would love me so soon did leave.

Jim Horn

Minds were permanently in place and set,
Which is something we will always regret;
Did deceive;
Had to leave.
Cry often and my eyes  do seem so wet.

Brainstorming Backlash

The definition of love should not mean obligation
it confuse those who need clearity
Love or a passion or desire
is a confused definition.
People meet and fall in love
People learn a hobby and love doing it
People and pets love being with each other
some people refuse to love due to there limited ability
people like to exploit situations
people like use people to get what and who they want
past relationship trauma details why they act the way they due
some peole don't like mixing words
I love my husband but my upbringing would have me to understand that the love I have with him is specail and unquie.
I refuse to say I love certain things due to defintion who needs the drama.
I heard a guy tell his wife love your Daddy and Marry me
I understood him.
He struggled with rejection and when he found someone he told her I will say I love you at Christmas, Easter, The Fourth, Your Birthday, My birthday and Cuddletime but I aint willing to allow you to confuse me with I Love you to have your way. I can't do that. The last person I loved said the same thing.
Backlash from Our Brainstorming had us over thinking and creating unclear and unrealist paths where people refused to understand the story line. I heard Our band could disburst through crative differances. I love working with you guys I wanna keep our relationship current. We need to use a better decoruim to keep and recreate our eagerness to be successful.
