Best Stop On A Dime Poems

     Poetry time
     Every line chimes
       Stop on a dime
       A buck for a rhyme

    What’s a meta for

Bigger than bodacious,

higher TCH than contagious-

I poke at the smoke and make a cause to estrange this,

…toodle-to-do in my space ship!


I love how much I can remake this,

and bank the right to go out on a limb,

spill on the film,

make the gas on the ground...

From Deion Sanders to Warrick Dunn
Bobby Bowden coached some of the best
Highly regarded by team and staff
The FSU coach withstood each test

With two national championships
And two great Heisman Trophy winners
Tallahassee fans basked in glory
Until the talent ranks grew thinner

Suddenly loyalty’s cast aside
Despite thirty-three FSU years
Just...

The Wonder Mobile broke today
Of course it would happen
Why wouldn’t it
4 cylinders running on 3
Getting out to push probably much faster
Poor little Corolla

It had a hard life.
Neglected some love’n
It pees all over, grumbles when it starts
Brakes kind of funny, but the horn is loud
Might not...

Chapter 11: The Problem with Lakes

Canoes and larger lakes don’t mix well I’m afraid,
The rough equivalent of a margarita and a toothpick.
On the Mississippi a lake means a dam somewhere,
The scenic route buried now under dam water
Its prurient writhing now veiled from prying eyes
By puritanical...

Captured Time

If I should ask myself..
Could I travel backward in time?
Can 18 wheelers ..
Ever stop on a dime?

To that one place..
That changed my life forever..
That tiny space in time..
My memory can always find.

To that one place..
Where I can clearly see their face..
Hear the softness in...

Sometimes I don't hear so well,
Sometimes I get confused
English is a tough language
Verse, tense, structures, sentences
It's an easy language to get abused

I sat on the couch, facing the TV,
And on the coffee table before me,
What did I see?
A glass, half filled, a pen and pad,
A...

Sitting on the verge of insanity,
unable to show the tiniest bit of humanity.
Having a breakdown in the middle of life,
losing my every will to fight.
With a noose hanging in the back of my brain,
finding the strength to breathe difficult to maintain.
Unable to talk to the...

As I compose these rhymes, I've been contemplating on what to do.
Because there are times I've been debating if this is real what I feel for you!
I'm utterly amazed by the amount of desire I feel.
And I'm kinda dazed, questioning if this internal fire is...

Love can be only what you want it to be
I just want it to be a part of me
Love to me is like a growing oak tree
It grows slow but it’s pure
Love can be hard but there’s always a cure
The cure can be hard to...

How can you make me feel this way? 
It’s been only a short while ‘n’ already I’ve fallin’ harder than the first time.
I don’t know how to take this emotional sway, 
You make my heart stop on a dime.
Can you see what you’re doin’ to...

A rhino's eyesight is really myopic,
Perhaps that's what makes him so misanthropic.
His hearing and reflexes, though, are sublime,
He can turn on a nickel and stop on a dime.
The projection that grows
On the end of his nose
Is not really a horn, though,
As one might suppose.
And when...

Tragedy struck 
Didn't see that truck
Was traveling way too fast 
Didn't feel that blast
Crashed around the bin
Left a pile of tin
Used the jaws of life 
Other driver wsn't coming home to his wife
Hope his family can forgive me
I lost control and couldn't see 
Wrapped around...

Each day goes by one by one, until each day is done
Your only goal everyday is to make sure life is fun.
People stress about everything, gotta do this and that
They fight about things like money and cars, even the dog and cat.
They argue over the...

In quaint transcendent compromise through a filter

Just suppose we look intently toward the sun,
Within emmense structured matter via fun.
Soft display in some fowl featured way.
The final flower illuminates the sky,

On its papal bonnet call;
Isolation,
Alone in suspended framework in time;
Within lavish content of hearts that will...
