Best Thanks But No Thanks Poems

Bartholomew Barton; his friends called him Barty

Slumped in the mud, a gunshot to the shoulder 
But unlike his comrades at least he’d get older

Tyrannical forces sought world domination
And Barty had marched with his mates for his nation
They gave him...

Dorian Gray came to me the other day
Offered to trade his portarit with one of mine
I politely refused and had this to say
Thank you, but I already have one that's fine

Everyday I do something really vile
It stares back at me with a most ugly face
Evil...

for it was in us that He planted His very seed
no matter what's happening in life no matter how hard are the days
God is able to keep us uplifted as we journey on our way

The green buds burst forth on the stem
Open gently breathe, as life returns again
Pressing forth, drinking the new days light
The sun returns from its winter flight

The leaves open and spread their charms
As a lover opens wide her arms
Taking the inquisitive honey bee
To pollinate and set...

A millionaire,

By now, 

I should be.

No thanks,

To haters,

In my family,

And my community.


Big ups,

To all, 

Who supported me.

A millionaire,

Yes, it should've happened

By now.

Seven books,

In one year,

And working too, wow!


But no, now,

I had to start over,

From dealing with,

People who I knew,

Dearly who clearly,

Messed over me.


This time last...

Then there was middle school
You were always there,...

From sun up till dark, day after day,
Hard and tiring work, but it was honest pay.
Worked like a dog scratching out a living,
On this old rundown farm where life can be cruel and always unforgiving.

Fighting every element that was ever known to man,
From droughts to...

Hey, thanks a heavy bunch for the welcome
Hey, thanks a larger lot for the welcome

My heart is duly enthralled
My mind has been positively stirred

Two days ago I had a lot on my mind
Now ‘coz of y’all, here I exist in delight

Heaven must be missing quite...

a skinny, dreamy-eyed boy in a suburban Jesuit school 
showed up in your English class...to learn a bit of class.

you taught me Milton, introduced me to Stevenson,
made this boy make sense out of words 
directly lifted from some popular tunes;
I learned the power of the...

Mama opens to doors to her restuarant
where the people dine on romance.
Leave food sitting on their plates,
forgotten about while they dance.

Leftovers get thrown away,
'cause Mama don't like beggars.
She chases the homeless every day,
be they drunks or unfortunate fellas.

Then she dusts her hands as she waddles...

remeber every name that walked through the door, and you keep...

the joy and peace of the here and now;

Let’s give thanks to the Father
for His...

 where people gathered as a people under one god, one world and children sang the praises of god above explaining about peace and love.
