Best Weed Out Poems
The City and the State of Play TodayTHE CITY AND THE STATE OF PLAY TODAY
No one worries about morals today
They follow the rules they create
So to them all is ok
Those on the outside looking in
Are the only ones feeling queasy
As avarice and selfishness triumphs
So easily
Good corporate citizens they...

A Canary's MindTry to put feelings to thoughts,
thoughts to words..
weed out angry ones, hope for forgiveness
in calling card verse.
beauty sings "won't be long"
in clear air, beauty sings
voice of the canary, what does it know
of better things.
Was I hard by you, did I lose...

ExclusionI know the game of exclusion,
have played it all my life and
now I've mastered it,
a talent to brag about.
Exclusion from normality,
the joy of inclusion.
Exclusion from continuity,
the malaise of discontinuity,
the permanent otherness.
It's a mystery how it came about
that my life was exclusively defined
by exclusion, is it...

How He created all from start
He made the moon, stars, day and night
It tells of God's great love for man
It tells of God's great sacrifice
It tells the beginning of...

Immensely SeekingAnd Like that.
I had this overwhelming urge.
I don't know what came over me.
I asked God is this the route I should take.
This habit of association.
To weed out what may seem to be selfish.
Time is of the essence.
This illusion of what is...

The Mysterious StrangerWho is this stranger,
that spares nobody?
Rich or poor, young and old,
Royal or common,
It spares none!
Who is this stranger,
that comes like a bad storm
and does nobody good?
Who is this stranger,
that is around us all the time,
watching and waiting to knock on our door...

The SunI will aim for the sun
I will struggle to reside in the sky
I will face the toughest storms
I will stand firm when the wind blows
I will focus on the light from above
I will open my dark places to be lighten
I will forget the mistakes of...

Prose Poetry
Downsizing“Mother,” she cried, “You cannot crowd everything in your new space.
Ridding yourself of some of it is something you must face.”
I was opening a small red box as she began to speak.
When I saw the contents that it held my aging legs turned weak.
I’d put...

A Sideshow That FreaksA crazed, dazed unexplained side show that freaks. What did we just do? Who knew, the few true, would prove to be me; and you? In shape we fit to form; like the shoe. In step we go toe to toe. As we set sail...

The GardenHave you checked
the garden lately,
weeds or flowers in the greens?
Raking over anger stately,
weed out all those plans and schemes.
Pleasant deeds bring peaceful dreams.

Reflection TimeFor me, today is a time of reflection.
I have good days and bad days.
Sometimes I feel lost with no direction.
I wonder why my life had dark highways
Why wasn't I beautiful like so and so,
Or why was I trapped in “ stupid’s.” maze.
If I'm stuck...

Terza Rima
In-Transit HereSwiftly the years swing away fast,
Memory steers both first and last;
Swiftly the sad dissolves in mists,
Memory bad rescinds old lists.
Quickly sad times forlorn and old,
Memory chimes to forfeit cold;
Quickly bad things dilute with age,
Memory flings thoughts that outrage.
Promptly pains told die not easy,
Memory cold now...

UnforgivenI was young
But old enough to know better
We were rounded up
Determined to weed out the culprit
I sat quietly and poker faced
Holding my breath and dying inside
I wanted this inquisition
To be over but it dragged on forever
If I could hold on long enough
It would end at...

Justice ServedIs there a way
to deal with the past
And forget for a time
long enough to last?
They say forgive and forget,
You'll live your life easy, you bet!
Yeah! forgive the one
who did you bad--
Are you kidding me?
Screw the bastard!
Eye for an eye, oh! feels so right,
Kick the scoundrel...
