Best Wear Out Poems


Premium Member Real Men Wear Pink
I stand about five feet eight
I'll admit, I'm a tad overweight
Drive an old pick up truck
Not one to pass the buck
At the moment have a dog for a mate

Dropped out of school at eighteen
Got married in a pair of old jeans
A father of four
When I...

Premium Member The Veil I Wear
A fire blazes behind the veil 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This veil I wear
is not made of cloth
for no fabric could withstand
the incendiary passion
I command

It's self-imposed
not forced
no man's hand
would dare cover me
yet here I am
swathed in these layers...
folds of security
you see
it's easier
much easier
just to be like the rest
not a...

Premium Member You Wear Away At Me
you wear away at me with your silence
not with whetted words
or physical altercations
there are no recriminations
No...
it's much more corrosive than all of that
this is the sad fact
apathy barbed in neglect
is the tool that you use
not aware it's abuse

how it scrapes and it grinds
determined not to...

Premium Member Mask We Wear
The Mask I wear is of a Comedian
Not showing the world I hurt
For when you laugh or cry looks the same
Sarcasm is rooted in pain.

The Mask I wear is of an Introvert
Being lonely than risk not being liked
I keep to myself and try not to...

Premium Member Wear and Tear
coloured flecks
on the front door-
peeling away
of memories...
love’s dilapidation

Premium Member When You Wear a Dirty Shirt
When you wear a dirty shirt,
You're a book getting judged by its cover.
People think you're really poor, or nutty,
Or that you have a menial job.
Or that you're all three of those,
And then they throw in a bunch of other things too.

Maybe you're a drug addict,...

Time to wear your green

      Leprechauns are on the way

            Look for some green beer!...

Premium Member Wear Green--Or Else
There’s coming a time of great cheer
when folks will drink gallons of beer
   tell tales of wee sprites
   and magical sights.
St. Patrick’s Day soon will be here.

On that day, if you don’t wear green,
just stay in your house. Don’t be seen,

Premium Member Wear His Armor
~Wear His Armor~ 
(Lanterne) 


Feel 
much pain 
but with his 
love I'll always 
walk 

With 
his help 
crush evil 
His light shines all 
day 

My 
true hope 
is the Lord 
faith will stand thru 
all 

Lord 
feeds soul 
keeps me whole 
facing life thru 
hell...

Why Caterpillars Do Not Wear Shoes
I watched a little caterpillar
walking up a tree
and wondered how 
that worm would look
if he were dressed like me.
I think his mother would complain
if she had shoes to buy,
cause by the time she tied them all
he’d be a butterfly!...

You Wear Your Death Well
You wear your death well
When I met you
The two exes in your eyes
Were anything but a surprise
You couldn’t walk but
The fact that you glided
Across the floor without using your feet
Didn’t blow me away
Don’t try to cover up the black under your eyes
It’s so pretty on...
