Cylinder Doesnt Play
Electrical spark, you are nothing without me!
Brags arrogant spark plug, my cousin, Lee.
Distributor gets mad and keeps current back.
Cylinder gives spark plug a mighty ugly mean whack.
Gasoline engine starts up now in the right way.
Jealousy handled by Cylinder, because she don’t play!

Forgiving Doesnt Mean Forgetting
Forgiving Doesn’t Mean Forgetting
Haiku: by Miracle Man
November 15, 2021
Everyone’s treated
unjust at some time in life;
forgive and move on.
“He who cannot forgive others
destroys the bridge over which he himself must pass.”

My Heart Doesnt Know What It Needs
trees dilly-O sing.
mellow skies surmise —
they’re not quite blue, white nor gray.
knocking in front and back —
pileated woodpeckers, shockers
with crests, crafty
to home owls and bats,
like royal courts of yore
dillydally the enemy within
mine walls.
the oaks shade their eyes,
press into my panes,
scratch during a storm,
rain on my parade.
yet, I can’t help...but adore
the pines and oaks,
ivy that wraps

Spice Doesnt Like Me Anymore
Spice doesn’t Like me Anymore
David J Walker
Spice doesn’t like me anymore
A taco would be nice
With a little Spanish rice but
Spice doesn’t like me anymore
Some frijoles with grated
cheddar cheese
would be fine but let me
add please,
leave off the jalapeno
cause its just No Bueno
Spice doesn’t like me any more
At one time I could eat

Evil Doesnt Need Consent
as I'm siting by the window
observing the abandoned sky
on my leather chair
I observe no moon
just pure rain falling
drinking warm tea
at 1:30am
I see people getting stabbed
I'm not calling anyone anymore
let them be dead for all I care
I notice red lights
the neighborhood
turned their eyes on me

God Doesnt Make Junk
God doesn’t Make Junk
By: Miracle Man
9-8-2019
Never neglect,
giving God full measure.
Slacking will surely,
bring HIM displeasure
Don’t be found shirking,
for HE knows your heart.
God never makes junk,
But HE does deal in art.

Your Nose Doesnt Know Though
It’s highly unlikely I'd want you to like me sticking your nose in my business,
too then go write me word impolitely a view subjectively witnessed,
condemn my behaviour speak like the saviour off to the high road in bliss,
ignorant with no hold on yourself arrogantly involved with myself why not resist,
because,
condemning aloud stokes the

Legal Doesnt Make It Right
Legal Doesn’t Make it Right
Written: by Miracle Man
5-29-2019
We routinely pass laws making sinful things lawful,
These laws cause abuse, and lead to treating others awful.
For revenue we accept change, from black & white to gray,
And because sin’s now legal many consider it OK.
Some people then partake in an attempt to seem rad,
And once in Satan’s hold,

The Color Doesnt Matter
A plum tree blooms by my inkstone-washing sink,
And every blossom is stained with the light ink.
Though lack of bright colors for people to praise,
It fills the world with pure fragrance and rays.

God Doesnt Make Bad Birds
The raven has a bad reputation; it is undeserved.
Superstition has caused some to hate raven but, some fear him.
Birds are symbols for the soul; they fly close to Heaven.

You broke my heart in two just when I thought you would stay
But here it is three months again no word or goodbye from you
This last time when you came back you swore your love

What Doesnt Kill You Makes You Stronger
Remember what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Don't stop believing in the strength that lies inside,
get up, stand up until you can stand no longer.
You gotta be strong against the fools who misguide.
Don't stop believing in the strength that lies inside,
ain’t no mountain high enough to prevent your fall.
You gotta be strong against the fools

Just Because Doesnt
Just because they can’t see my scars
Doesn’t mean that I’m without wounds.
Just because they’ve never seen my tears
Doesn’t mean I’m afraid to cry.
Just because they aren’t able see my heart
Doesn’t mean it has never been broken or has ne’er been open.
Just because I choose to be quiet sometimes
Doesn’t mean it’s them whom I
