Downside Poems - Poems about Downside

Premium Member Mood Swing
When Patty was in the manic phase, she'd ignore dangers: She'd hold parties in her motel room for hordes of strangers. One of them she married after knowing him half a day - Did it occur that something could go wrong by acting that way? Who needs the wisdom of George Schwab, or boring investment schemes? She met two dudes...

Premium Member Downside Spring
So, sure, the sun shines brightly every morn, And birds will share, with all their brilliant tunes; Amazing colored flowers will adorn What once were gray and blah and lifeless dunes. Admittedly it’s warmer in the day, And cloudless skies can cheer the weary heart, And gentle breezes whisk the blues away As life, once more, begins its own restart. But, as the...

Premium Member Downside of Spring
On the frigid wings of the northern breeze waned winter with frayed feathers flies away, clears the mist from shining sky out of freeze, song of birds brings life in ambiance grey. On silken leaves’ cradle blooming buds glow, with cascade of color petals unfold, zephyr ripples fragrance in fervent flow, but spring also has its...

The Downside of Not Voting
If you don't vote, Extremists will take note, And politicians will seek a different coloured coat, As extremists become more eager to vote, With your absence at the polling booth giving them hope, That democracy will work in their favour, And their words will be the only ones of note....

Smile Turned Downside Up
Moments of despair with anguish and resent unroll, With the touch of some cold memories and decontrol, They crumble my heart and I feel ruffled again. As ripples when they waveringly resurface, I try and held myself against them and brace. Once again I play a silent war with stories of the past ; I fight to resist them so...

Premium Member Upside To the Downside
There's often an upside to the downside of taking the wrong fork in the road. Everything you thought or were taught, might be be for naught,  if you insist on doing things your way. But.. you could rise above the fray. Then doubters might say, they helped pave the way for the genius, they claim, was their friend....

Premium Member Downside Up Snowman
Lodged on a high valley in this far town People like to turn the world upside down In winter sky overturns The snow cover children churn Snowmen they make do something new on own. A fat snowman comes to park downside up Sniffing the frozen ground with red nose sharp To stay straight head needs to strain Blood from the legs goes to...

A Downside of Adulthood
Whatever you discover, It’s the grown-up thing to share it And when others flaunt their joy in it, You have to grin and bear it. For there really is no reason To keep secret what you’ve found When some other folks can benefit From how you’ve worked the ground. Still, there might be some resentment – Just a tiny little twinge – When...

The Downside of Restraint
though the two held in their extreme horniness, there was no hiding that look in their eyes---that one where the want to tear off the clothes of said hot body was one which brought them carnally back to the roll in the hay of their ancestors & for a minute, there was no doubt between the both of them that the historical reenactment of just such a...
