Best Waste One Poems


Premium Member The True Wonder Bread
Funny the things that stick with you
like gum beneath the table
as the years go by.
My brains goes as far back as three solar circuits;
big bro put the Wonder bread in the microwave
(package and all) --- sparks went a'flying.
And poor Mother, what would she say,
when the...

Wishes And Prayers

  

We wish because--  
We are not sure if it be; 
We wish because - We want it to be! 
Conveniently, we wish it were true, 
If only things become true when we need them to be. 
We usher in- The...

Whats the Point of Love?
Whats the point of love
if it only brings you tears?
Wether it be a few glorious months
or going on several years.
You'll either get a broken heart
when he leaves for someone new, 
or at last death shall do you part
and you'll loose the one who loved you.
Whats...

From west-to-east they daubed the plains with dark
          The groans of horns and hooves to shake the earth
               All grass and grounds...

Hot Dog My Red Hot!
Sumptuous
savoury
smothered in chili
onions heaped high
on a tasty mustard bun
I will not waste one morsel
of you
My eyes feast upon you
on my plate,
as you sit and await your fate!
My palette awaits
I want to hold you
and devour you
Love of my life,
you make my mouth water
I am tantalized by...

I Seek You
It's my loneliest day,  I seek you out and finally find you.

I see you near reaching out with open arms I don't hold back.

This time I do not want to waste one ounce of your time.

The crying of the souls haunt me, I wipe...

Suicide Bus
Any one for the 8-10 to Allepo 

His suicide lorry packed to the gunnels there hoisted on his own petard
another loved up modern muslim the stupid silly selfish silly bastard

What a waste one man in his white gown going to his death
a lot of passengers...

Happenstance
Positively, every day we lay to waste one more chance.
Though the sun doth rise and meet us in yellow gold.
Will your great revival begin today?  Only by happenstance?

By all great men, in awe, we've be moved to muse and trance.
When the musician's fingers flitter,...

Premium Member My Cherished Me Time
I get up at three or four in the morning
Because I want to play a couple of hours before I leave for work
I love my job, but I love my play time more

I have many hobbies, so many choices
Some mornings I write poems, other mornings...

Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Where will I be?
I'm lost and I can't find my compass, you see
Also lost time, the sun's setting low
The day is at end, Oh where did it go?

Tomorrow, Tomorrow, I fell today
Can't see where I'm landing, cause you're in the way
Will I land...

Time On Myside
Time On Myside

You may always think that you have forever or could be granted some extra time; how cleaver.

But no one knows what the future holds, or how much time you really have left to grab a hold.

You can’t waste one second, minute, hour, day,...

Shrouds of Light
Come out of the black hole… 
Lie face down on the bed…I’ve been bedshaped all night long
Heaviness of my eyelids takes it toll on me
Fly…fly with your top speed…keep your head
Above the surface and take a sip of ecstasy 

You’re my only hope
You’re my answers...

Benefactor's Nightmare
Being Aussie and a nomad with a wish to travel far,
there comes a time when money’s scarce no matter who you are.
I was in the north of England when the bank declared I’m broke,
so I went to seek employment from someone who needs a bloke....

Premium Member I paint with Acrylics
I paint with acrylics
Oils are more vibrant;
But I have no patience
For letting anything dry

Watercolor is uncontrollable;
This is too close to my own personality
I cannot fathom the enjoyment of watching the paint take over
Doing what it wants when it wants, like my dogs and children.

Using neon...
