Best Unresolved Poems
Dealey Plaza, are you keeping right on the still unresolved Elm street?
I had a cat, a large one
I thought I loved the cat
The cat thought he loved me too!
Then, one day,
They took the cat away
The cat, with the bassinet, the little furry presence
And Sameeha’s science club chapstick
And I thought I was kissing scientific a book cover
Where...

Unresolved AngerSome folks say unresolved anger causes depression
We know unresolved anger is a cause of aggression
Well, I’m here to make this unsolicited confession,
I would be a strong candidate to lead the procession
But first I want you to consider this little concession --
When depression subsides, I consider...

Unresolved PastPause the clock, let the world stop
allowing our past to catch up
before going one more second
into the future.
Would not stop long, the past
dragged along generation after generation,
faster than the last, problems left behind
getting worse, ignorance, bigotry, hatred,
degenerate companions.
Passing...

As Yet UnresolvedWe so carefully respect the boundary
Placed around us by society
A sly smile, a covert glance
That we cannot name romance
For rules it's wrong, for souls it's right
As we slip into the deep night
And discover each other
I boil to be your lover
I'm drifting off as you say
Just...

Unresolved CrimesWe fight,
We cry,
And ask ourselves why?
Why did we have to start
To tear our own race apart.
With an endless war,
That has no end
That we cannot mend.
Why is it ok to kill someone else's brother,
For the sake of a religious gain?
If I killed your brother would you...

Resolutely UnresolvedOn my honor I will do my best
To be real quiet, and not a pest
I’ll smear some butter on a crispy roll
And let you dip it in my soup bowl.
I won’t dress up seeking flattery
Unless I win the freakin’ lottery
Then I’ll spread the cash tween...

As Yet UnresolvedNature or Deity
what petty cruelty
or splendid mystery
that he and she
would so distant be
in mind and manner and vanity
This is why they writhe and bite
or love as cold as winters night
We claw and kiss and spit in spite
We rage and pace and fuss and fight
or cut...

UnresolvedLaying in fear, clear objectives blurred
By confusion, noise all around
Sand, I feel each grain against my face
Dog trembling against me, head buried under my arm
Her body jumps with each round fired
The smell of sulphur, heat of barrel close to my skin
One next to us still,...

UnresolvedI resolve. Not to make any New Year resolutions.
I am finding it hard to go with the flow,
I know,
It is the sensible approach to take,
Worrying won't make
Situations change,
Life is strange,
Things are not like they used to...

You'll Always Be My TomorrowIt came so suddenly the choice you have chosen,
It wasn't an intention; none of this seems to be true
It was Thanksgiving Day, and the kids were about it
I wouldn't say I like it either, or you're not here. I walked away.
Though the tragedy that...

You Do the MathYou Do the Math
David J Walker
Such is the cost of
Granting another day
Travel another step away
Down A longer path
You do the Math
Scribbled and quibbled
On every empty calendars graph
Adding it up
unable to take away
Any day you have passed
Any past...

Deeply They LingerA life I lived has passed me by,
My thoughts of wanting to go back in time
I am trying to turn away and fly
I will lose my will of losing this time.
My fragmented memories on recall,
Difficult for me with an event...
