Best Take The Bad With The Good Poems


The Bad and the Good
I watched as they acted as though they were God themselves,
Proud like a peacock with their diplomas on the shelves,
Always looking down their nose at the lost, thinking they themselves held the only key,
Like the Pharisee’s of old, these are the ones who need to...

Bad Boy Gone Good
Your life is a sandwich with many layers
Your knife slaughtered me as you bewitch my mind with thought-slayers
Coming undone by this bleeding hate-love relationship 
You tease me with insults that make me wanna cry, but I'll get a man's toughest grip 
I'm a Titanium ship...

Bad Timing Made Good
Little Lili from Lankenau
The prettiest girl I ever saw
Tall and lean like a beauty queen
Was home from the modeling scene
Her hubby getting home very early
Spotted a man running and looking burly
He wondered why the man was scantily clad
And why he was running and looking mad
Thinking...

Premium Member For the Bad and the good'
We speak peace' the world is sick..From war and lies this
Is lunatic.'
The end must come..His word fullfilled' with many condemned my marrow chills.'
Perhaps I should change the messages i write? More froth
And bubbles? of future bright.?
Yet then would trouble just flow along? errupting and
Subsiding for...

Even Bad Guys Do Good
Pirates were known for their notorious acts of
This or that.
I learned while traveling the seas
That they were A mean frat
With an endless rum vat
Which got them in to all kinds of troubles on their
Journeys.
Pirates were known for their notorious acts of
This or that
The worst one...

Often Bad Relationships Change Good People
We went in with good intentions
We came out with bad reflections
Often bad relationships change good people

A person can become everything 
And then a person can also become nothing
Something went wrong and
We were only strong until a certain point
We loved the person but 
Love cannot live...

The Bad Friend Turned Good ?
And Somewhere in me I knew what i had to do ..
I was like a dragon . 
the fire was building up in me . 
She was not a good friend .
and I knew it from the moment she started being like that with me...

Premium Member I Am Too Bad For Your Good
I am too bad for your Good

Impulse trying to tango with patience, but only stepping on her feet

Give and take, we don't mix well when we are together, you are fire and I am water

I kill your flame leaving you feeling lifeless and you burn...

Bad Company Corrupts Good Morals
A young lady from Lillehammer
Was wont to consort with a scammer
No one could stop’em
Until the cops caught’em
And now they reside in the slammer...

Bad Captain Behind Good Curtain
Rufus is a Bad Captain,
Who hides behind Good Curtain:
Others could supervise
But not for Troublesome Vice,
Nice words for Matrimony,
None helps its harmony;
For hours readily speaks
But no treasured point leaks...

Hopes to men ginger forward,
Yet dodges talks of Reward;
Every fresh year, a New Age 
Still opens not A...

How can life be so beautiful
    and so horribly ugly all at once?
     This is the juxtaposition of all
                  juxtapositions.

Hello Sailor
Sailing solo is unsafe
and it's not much fun
one winds up talking to oneself
before the day is done
but a bad day on the water
or so someone said
beats a good day at the office
(and I would know)
snug in my bunk bed
so gentlemen here's a tip for you
as...

My Lucky Charm
His voice was deeper by dawn, 
moist grass, greener. 
Birds chirping in tune,
as bed sheets, kissed the skin. 

Coffee beans replaced morning texts,
his smile, I could never forget.
Breakfast served for his lover,
those times, I have embraced....
