Best Tried Poems
On a cloud I wrote - I love you
But the cloud blew away
On a tree I wrote - I love you
But someone cut down the tree
In the sand on the beach I wrote - I love you
But the waves wiped them away
In the wind, I cried - I love you
But the wind was too strong and no one could hear
In a small letter I wrote - I love you
But I never posted it - it was never sent
But you know - I love you
and my heart belongs to you

This is a myth
About the Hobabobaknox
A fiery dreadful creature
That was never seen or caught
So how is it I know?
Is it true or just a thought
If it was never seen
How can this story be bought...?
Unlike the Jabberwocky, the Hobabobaknox
Was very good at staying hidden
You see, it understood a lot
Human races where forbidden
And it knew if it was caught
It would be killed and ridden
So it just stayed still in its spot
However, the creature had to eat
So it planned its hunt with caution
In the still of the night
It would lurk out of its common
Waiting for one to view him
Then it would throw them in its cauldron
It was spineless like a snake
Winged like the hawk
Eyes in front and back
And tails, long like bean-stalks
Its color was quite a marvel
When you see it, you will shock
It will fill you up with terror
It can cause your legs to lock
Only one can tell the tale
Only one was tried and true
One night while fast asleep
I saw its color Ru
I survived the Hobabobaknox
In a dream I shared with you
-Miranda Lambert-

Tried again, I tried in vain
Far away he went so far
Train of thoughts I need to forget
Upon which my life is hanging
Forgive me, the cork of death opened.

I am so far out of my element
It almost seems unreal
When in truth, which I always seek to find
Pretence is all that I feel
In this, my second language
I aim to express the glistening skin
That hides the shallow graves of conscience
Trapped so deep within
The pottery I shape in craft
Though pedistilled and on display
A camouflage that’s merely drafted
words of wisdom most portray
And in the spirit of fairness
As a virtue which we all possess
Accept my resignation
For this sport has had its best
I’m off to party hard and waste
My life as best as I know how
The animal within this chest
Needs freedom to survive for now
The playing game of words
is but a winding road that’s filled with stone
I’m parched in parts unheeded
As my cluttered soul heads home

I tried to hide
I tried to hide
But I just can't hide me
I tried to hide
Yet my soul speaks
To me
I tried to hide
But all I see tells
A tale
I tried to hide
Now can't hide from my self
I tried to hide
Yet nature keep me on
To my dream
I tried to hide
Yet my mind can't
Let me be
I tried to hide
But I can't hide
The truth
I tried to hide
Yet I can not hide
Now no wonder always
I tried to hide
For the more
I tried to hide
The hidden
Keep me on
So the unknown
Reveal a revelation
whenever
I tried to hide

Desperately seeking answers but no one to ask
Life now seems to be a forgotten task
Helplessly wearing my heart on my sleeve
Constantly praying that this pain would soon leave
Quietly wondering why it happen to me
is this your way of setting me free
tell me did I deserve such cruelty
Why did you aim your arrow at my heart
Is this your way of breaking us apart
I was willing to be there
and you knew you had someone who truly cared
Someone who looked past your faults
And would have taken them and locked them away in a vault
I tried to ease your pain
Not with motives or anything to gain
for I thought, the love I felt, would be worth the fight
For your happiness was my only delight
I tried to understand your pain
I wanted you to see not everyone is the same
I wanted to show you a heart that would always be true
but now you got me feeling sad and blue
I will no longer let you do what you do
because baby I'm through with you........

my eyes tried to tell you
golden and round the setting sun peeks
over sloping mountaintops
while cobalt shadows inch into the rust-brown crevices
like a silent blanket smothering the light of day
the moon will be full
or so they say on the six o’clock weather report
there is no sign of rain until the clouds reappear
and the ring around the moon squeezes harder
you wanted to see the rising moon after sunset
and i laid both at your feet
while watching your wide-eyed innocence
as if the circus tent was filled with elephants
it was the only show in town
until i hugged you just before you cried
and we talked all through the rising of the moon
about old songs and dead poets
i searched for words to comfort you
but it was darker than the moon could illumine
and my words were thin as tin foil
though my eyes tried to tell you

Free verse
The scent of underdone eggs
Reminds me of my mother
And how she tried
To make my life possible.
Something is bringing back
The smile on my face again,
Something grand is happening
In the other worlds.
For all I had been
There was a love I had seen
And for all that it was
That love was so pure and rare,
Had to be restored, revealed.
My heart was heavy,
Only yesterday,
It was distraught,
It wanted to give up,
But now I can see where I am.

I tried.
Truly I did in both laughter and the tears
but looking back at all the lost years
the images are vague and unclear;
so easy to forget the joy and happiness
when there is too much regret in the cloudiness.
Taking hold of every memory dispersed
not a thought remains rehearsed
every step taken was me in its making
and you the center of my world
gathered up in my life swirls.
Alone now in this terminal solitude
my heart only remembers you
with every breath I take
loving you was never a mistake
but losing you was my greatest heartache.
I tried
grateful for all the years we had
wistful memories make this heart glad
filled with the soul's endeavor to love expressed
I hold dear the beauty shared as one forever blessed..

Here you are
Again,
Reading my pain
Thinking that it's the worst thing you ever read
Thinking I'm just a lost soul who doesn't know
The name of the demon they fed,
I am here once more,
Bleeding my emotions to the core
Trying so hard to make you understand my feelings
I am bleeding out, my eyes are covered
My body is going through suffocation
I am dying,
Because i want you to understand what i am saying.

That goofball husband of hers brought her to this joint to see her get drunk for the very first time. She actually plugged her nose trying to sip her first glass of beer. Good grief. 20 minutes and she barely finished it. She walked to the restroom and I felt her teetering just a little bit. She likes the feeling though, I can tell! I sure liked it when she started boogying to the beat of the band on her way back to the table. Too bad Mr. dingbat won’t ever dance with her. She keeps tapping her hands on the table to the rhythm of the music. That’s why I have to write so slow. . . .
Now she’s tryin ta drink another beer but she can hardly stand it an her husband sez come on don’t ya wanna know how it fills ta be drunk? She says well at list I fill buzzd now. . .
The nice buzz wore off. It’s at least an hour later. She and hubbie got this idea to go to the liquor store. First time she ever went to one. She thought maybe brandy would taste better so then she could drink something stronger and know how it felt to be drunk. Brandy sounded sweet and fruity to her. Boy was she wrong. She took a little taste and it burned going down. That stuff sucks just like the beer. . . .
Wow she jus finisht tha hole boddle rily fast lik mebbie ten minuts ago so she kud fil drunk an she put me down ta finnish tha boddle in one shot now she kant evin kip her eyez opun UH ohhhhhhh
Epilogue: The preceding narration was based on actual fact. Upon consuming an entire bottle of brandy in less than ten minutes, "she" immediately passed out, and I recall she awoke in the morning having forgotten everything that transpired once she fell asleep. Furthermore, when she went into the bathroom the next morning and saw some flecks of vomit on the walls, she was quite amazed. Why? Because she had no recollection of throwing up, and she realized her goofball husband had actually attempted to clean up a mess in their house for the first time in their young married life!!!
By the way, Jenny, if you happen to be reading this, Shhhh. Please do not tell her other sisters. It would surely get back to you guys’ mother, and your poor upstanding church-loving mom might have a heart attack to hear of her daughter’s one transgression with the devil’s brew! Sincerely, Her Sober (albeit sometimes fanciful) Pen

I love you so much it hurts inside
I hate when we fight and all the days and nights I cried. It seems no matter what I do is not good enough for you because I tried and tried.

Eve tried to kill Bob
with a broken door knob
last Friday at noon
when he popped her balloon.
She had a big fit.
Did you hear about it?
Yes, she’d stewed and she’d stewed
since bob was so rude.
Since bob was so rude,
yes, she’d stewed and she’d stewed.
Did you hear about it?
She had a big fit
when he popped her balloon.
Last Friday at noon,
with a broken doorknob,
Eve tried to kill Bob.

We are always being tested in today's society
all through out our life from kindergarten to university
At one time there were certain individuals in positions of authority
who were envious of a man named Daniel, one of God's prodigies
they went to King Darius one day with plans of their undercover grudge
unaware that the name Daniel means "God is my judge"
they wanted the king to enact a law and sign some kind of decree
where no one could give homage to anyone but the king's sovereignty
they knew that Daniel was an obedient, a righteous and Christian man
who daily worshipped and glorified God, a true believer of the master's plan
unaware of the new law, Daniel continued to pray and honor The Lord Christ
and as a result he was arrested and tested and the test was his very life
Daniel who always stood alone, he passed the test and by God was approved
he survived an evening in the lion's den, all night untouched and unmoved
he was shown approved because of his unwavering faith in The Lord God
a favorite son with a righteous hope contained within his heart
It matters not the types of situations in life that you are currently going through
trust in God, have no fear and let the blood of Jesus cover you
for God is the one true Judge, make His approval your daily quest
so study His word, do your homework and pray you will pass the test
Be aware of your weaknesses, be aware of your strengths
and be aware of the Living Gospel
be a true believer, possess great faith
and trust in God to do the impossible
for the adversary is always working,
attempting to pull you down
don't allow it to interfere
just remember you're standing on God's solid ground
In the lion's den surrounded by flesh eating carnivores in plain sight
God sent His guardian angels to watch over Daniel all through the night
In the face of evil Daniel remained untouched and unmoved
tried and tested by mere men, but by God was shown approved
