Best Square Up Poems
ChangeWitness the times
In broken glass,
The splintered rhymes:
"This too shall pass."
Too soon the day
Dawns upon daze,
Square up last play:
Calm choice creams craze!
Here by the bay:
Dragon Boat race,
An epic play
To forge last trace.
A change parade
Comes full circle,
A new charade
As fest twinkles.
Each to a spot
To frame and forge,
Each...

Not Afraid Part 3 DraftSo I wrote this rhyme just for me,
to ignite self belief,
and get me out of this sea,
I'm a swim the sea 'til I reach the sand,
wet the desert 'til the plants grow grand,
'til the storm clears up,
and the grass gleams up,
I'm a march toward...

Something that used to be so flavorful, sweet, and tempting has done nothing more for me now than left a bitter taste in my mouth, and a sting upon my rooftop
Kissing you was fun, but only for so long as the early morning...

Holocaust swivelled at the turn of these events,
Stimulated by the wrath of a country's vent.
Time wasted and extravagantly spent
Until the shape of democracy brutally sees a dent?
New blockbusters; as periodic protagonist election
square-up with the vile villain called selection.
INEC is the man in stripes...

World War 3 - Who Ordered MushroomsBefore:
When no middle ground can be found amid rifts
They’ll send in a few unsolicited gifts
The east and the west shall politely decline
each incoming gift with a two fingered sign
It’s ‘You show me yours and I’ll show you mine
You’ll find mine is bigger and faster than...

SteroidsYou’ve got roids
I wouldn’t use that
make you annoyed
why choose that
You think you’re better
as you get bigger
bulging with water
oh what a blinger
You’re as strong as before
and clearly less clever
now a coward been hypnotised
lack power when hit the guys
Appearing bigger...

Roll on springbells peeling loudly

roosters square up feathers fly
cow steps over wall

Squaring Things AwayPerfection as a goal demands correction;
accepting mistakes requires some reflecting..
Call me a square if you like but I'll admit
when it comes to money, I keep short accounts.
Simplicity puts tender in the kitty;
humility builds reckoning, quality.
It can be smart to start with "I am sorry,"
then move...

DomesticsEvery time I heard my mother cry
I would come barreling down the stairs
to square up to my father,
both of us fuming on the edge of a fight.
As a child when you have yet to experience
the intricate petty traumas of a relationship.
