Best When Push Comes To Shove Poems
Twisted Knickers-Collaboration Open to PoetsSome people wind up with twisted knickers
When they get insulted by nitpickers
Words are sticks and stones
Causing moans and groans
When they hear heckling whispers and snickers
Women used to call knickers 'underpants'
They'd get them twisted with tauntings and rants
Causing quite a rage
No matter their age
As if their...

Tolerance“If you don’t know the kind of person I am
and I don’t know the kind of person you are
a pattern that others made may prevail in the world
and following the wrong god home we may miss our star.*
Shouts abound, demanding equality
Yet, when push comes to...

I'Ll Keep Chasin' My Dream Till the EndI've been told to let go
Of all that I love
They say, you'll never make it
It's time to give up
And even though I'm a man
Who don't believe in himself

I'll keep chasin', my dream till the end

Lyric
To My Sweet Ella Rose With All My LoveThere’s something about my love for my daughter,
maybe it’s all the lessons I have taught her.
Her bubbly smiles and ways only youth can display,
her growing independence, she’s too old to play.
Yes, there have been many times I have fought her,
but she...

You and MeYell at me, put me down
Scream at me, I'll show a frown
Love me, I'll love you
Adore me, and I'll obsess you
Why don't we see the problem
Till the situation is at it's end
Why don't we see the problem
and some times just pretend
What is your reason for...

Humility Is the Brightest LoveLove, I get love is more than a game the young play,
It is life one commits, not caged bird ‘shopped’ to mine
In the hope lives are saved that don’t sleep in harm’s way!
How can chemistry alter what man can’t refine?
Love is more than a look...

I Want To Love YouI want to love you, but you make it a chore
One shouldn’t have to work so hard to love
Still, I want you more and more,
I can’t help it when push comes to shove.
My feelings for you are difficult to explain
I want to love you, but...

Doggone*dog *contest*. *DOGGY STYLE*
Tonight! Tonight! I must display.
About my man's doggy style way.
Once he comes home he acts like I'm his "DOGGY BAG."
"It’s DOGGING ME!" The way he starts to nag.
He came from the bar with his "DOG BREATH!"
Calling me by...

Birds of a FeatherOpposites may hold attraction
But lack lasting satisfaction.
Frequently push comes to shove.
In comes hate and out goes love.
Animals in fights and fleeings
Still are mostly social beings.
In a pinch, at end of tether,
Birds of a feather flock together.
Multitudes of furry creatures
Seem alike in lots of features.
Yet that’s...

Verse
Shakespeare's NightmarePoor William turns and moans within his grave:
Within a phrase, one simple turn can bind
the most creative stirrings of the mind
and poet to cliché becomes a slave.
Exist but in uniqueness and repent
for rhyming verse you penned with “love” and “dove”
and last week’s sonnet found “push...

Italian Sonnet
The LonelyI behold a woman sitting in her chair,
Looking out her window, longing to share!
I envision, a man submerged in TV,
With nothing to say to his wife or family!
I observe a boy rejected and scared!
To gain a friend, he does what he’s dared!
I relate to the...

God's Guiding HandI lost my job and times were tough.
Lived day to day on just enough
of everything to keep me well.
How long it'd last only time would tell.
Instead of worrying, I saw the light;
Put my faith in God to ease my plight.
All God's creatures don't give a...
