Haiku Versus Rhythm and RhymeMy favourite pastime:
crafting poetry in rhyme
but not so this time
Ordered by Debbie:
from your comfy box break free
haiku it will be
Debbie, what's with you
to rhythm and rhyme I'm true
I loathe haiku
I'll stay in my sphere
sans rhythm poetry's *****
Oops! I rhymed in here...

Love Versus LustLove is the one-time experience that cannot be measured,
described or forgotten
while lust needs innovation to be boasted about and the other is dumped...
Love is the sensation for lifetime
while lust leaves room for others...
Love is hugged and to be lived with ever after consummation
but...

And phrases of total nonsense
Wipe out brain status
With more apparatus
Than the Department of Defense...

Ocean Versus Pool
Ocean Versus Pool
The
days
are hot,
the water
cool, but unlike days
beside my pool, the ocean lives
a moving thing, with surf and sand it has its fling, and
far out past the eye can see, instead of woods, the sky meets sea…delightful choice for me!

Good Versus Evil4/30/18
The prequel
Of good vs. evil
Did they ever consider each other equal?
One side peaceful
The other deceitful
In the beginning
Neither side was really winning
As the globe continued spinning
Brimming
With things that were living
Meanwhile one was only taking and one was giving
Back to the Earth while grinning
While existing
One was focused...

Lust Versus LoveWe forget lessons learnt in moments of bliss.
Our minds wiped clean with a passionate kiss.
To attain something called love we take a risk.
You indulged in lust and lost your focus.
I fell into a trap with out even knowing.
I accepted dark glazed...

Love Versus LustSome folk are prone to love affairs
For sex rewards the one who dares
They are hot to trot
Because they forgot
Miracles don't happen in pairs!...

Hardware Store Versus CoronovirusI work in the retail sector
and everyone's gone mad.
It's really very amusing.
It's really very sad.
Toilet paper and sanitizers
have flown right out the door.
Though everyone is asking
we've no idea when we'll get more.
The face masks of every type
are hoarded like they're gold.
Even the ones for dust...

Good Gang Versus Badtheres two types of gangs to join
you dont have to flip a coin
to know which one that you need
once gets you in trouble
the other helps you succeed
the gang at school is called a club
it keeps you off the streets...

Poetry Versus VersePoetry is something I do not understand
Words my soul reads and instantly recognizes,
Leaping about in joy, yelling "let's try to do that!"
words tossed in a way I never could
romantical and metaphoric
charming, delightful, or frightful
Poetry is not something I do,
it is something I aspire to learn
as...

Evil Versus the Good WithinEvil versus the good within
I am the lord of high above
Some believe me to be the god they love.
But I am too of an evil source
And life or death is my choice of course.
Some think that by praying in God's name
That they...

Santa versus The Grouch'Twas the night before Christmas, and there sat the Grouch,
waiting for Santa and his present filled pouch.
I'm sure that all of you have heard of the Grinch,
but the Grouch is far worse, at least by one inch.
That vile and distasteful sixty-six year old man
had been writing...
