Best Whys Poems


Premium Member You Feed Yourself the Whys
You're fooling yourself
You don't need that to fly
You don't need that to burn
You don't need that to cry.
Use it as an excuse
Blot out reason for why?
Try to justify
But don't expect me to see why
You don't even try
A day would soon go by
A start of being...

Many Supplies of More Whys
More and more and many more whys
Are all abundant with many supplies
Then we become difficult and unsure
Irrational while being hard to endure. 

By reading Bible I am often annoyed
Appreciated other parts and enjoyed
Heart pounds if things are prophetic 
Things had proved to be quite hectic.

Certain...

Whys and Hows
                by Odin Roark

Through the window of rain spattered glass,
The old vet watched the large ant cling to the precipitous bombardment,
It’s tenacity of will overwhelming to the man’s...

Premium Member There Is An Anwser To the Whys
All things begin and end with God
That's why no 'why' is really hard

And all the whys that ever were
And all that ever be 
Were answered before we thought to ask
By God and his divinity.

The answers came before the whys
The chicken before the egg
And walking was...

Premium Member The Whys and What Fors
Why is jealousy green?  She asks.
I've pondered on that before.
To write a poem about it,
I must think on it some more.

There are so many puzzlements
All entangled in my head.
Those who could have enlightened me
I fear are a long time dead.

I turn first to the...

A BUNCH OF “WHY'S”

Could you tell me why most hippopotami
Weigh about the same as a truck
In the animal kingdom diets aren't common
So they're really poop out of luck

A donkey with wings or an ass that sings
Quite an image I have in my mind 
Some like...

The Whys
Why is this life so hard 
Why cant we all just get along
Why do I get blamed?
We all have problems and we all have trials
But why put that on me?!!!
Its not my fault you all fight 
It's not my fault you cant be happy 
SO...

Life Has No Whys
The wind asks,
rainfalls,
mouth shuts,
leg walks,
sole prints,
age perishes,
the skin remain asides,
destiny fight protests,
life has no whys,
but remain with who's....

IS TO KNOW WHY GOD CREATED MAN

A cow looks at the full moon standing on a sloping hillside
it looks straight at the moon as if it were waiting for an answer 
the beast does not move but keeps...

The Whys of Jack and Jill (Precursive Poetry)
She said, “Why don’t the two of us go up there and see what we could find?”
He said, hesitantly, “Okay, but are you sure you’re ready?”
She said while staring, “I’ve never been so ready, my love”
“Fine then, let’s have a go at it, no regrets”,...

Premium Member I Have a Few Whys
I have a few whys that really bother me
like why when it rains do I pee frequently?
Why do some people enjoy wearing wigs?
Why do some men act like pigs?
Why don't cars have more of a buffer?
Why do people have to suffer?
Why do certain fabrics crinkle?
Why...

Premium Member the whys of older women
Do older women wear gloves
To hide their wrinkles?
Camouflage their age spots?
To try to look fancy, dainty or demure?
To look feminine?
They usually wear pink, white, yellow or light green gloves.

Few of them wear black gloves.
Is this on purpose or by accident?
Maybe manufacturers never make black tea...

Lots of whys
in life:
Why this,
and not that?
And, dear Lord, of
all Your unlimited whys

why on earth this?!

And the whens, wheres
and hows
no less confounding -- 
explicitly, words do not
resolve themselves alone

dictionaries often shelf
what needs to be actively open
and boundless in mind -- 

the scholar paints
their arid landscapes

while...

Love With No Whys
sincerely love her but i do not know why... 


Not so beautiful but caught my sight, 
Not so thoughtful but touched my heart, 
Not so strong but dominated my dreams, 
Not so sweet but made me smile 
Stars bright, stars light... I wholeheartedly beg
