Fall Flat Poems

Suitcase of Yesterdays

...My suitcase drags behind me, 
a trail of yesterdays I cannot leave,
As I walk through my family home -
the echo of clinking glass, the faint fizz of bubbly champagne -
Each sparkling laugh is a m...

Gotcha

...Tingly skies full of surprise 
     oh how I love when with surmise, 
the little rascal aims his dart 
     as if it were, poetic art !

Arrow friend or arrow foe,
     until it hits y...

SHE WEARS MY FACE

...Why is my face split in two?

A twin I call her
Confident and beautiful 
Funny and entertaining 
Her smiles light up every room.
A life of the party 
Excellent in every word.

A frown I like...

Hair Fight

...She gathers her arms for her nightly fight
to do battle with her hair, to “get it right”
she’s been cursed with unruly, super fine hair
that won’t cooperate and flies everywhere. 

Oh, to have t...

Wasteland of Failure

...The outside is where I belong
The inside so filmiar 
A constant stride to belong
To fit the mold of what a man should be
Weak I am cancered by self denial
When will it end for me
Alone I be
Wh...

Dialogue

...I have this superpower
It's more like a curse
I can hold conversations with people in my head
But I can't do that in real life
It's why I avoid people
If there's no one there
I don't have to st...

No Matter

...
You can step up to the plate,
and hit that game winning homerun.
Everybody in the stands is cheering,
the newspaper says that your number one.

Or swing and miss and fall flat on your face,
w...

On the Skids

...On the skids with no brakes,
thankfully, a memory;
that began with falling,
falling over and over again,
with bruises that healed;
such is childhood.

I tried to attack the slippery slope,
ch...

LOVE BIRDS

...LOVE BIRDS:
INTRO:
Love had a chance, 
Sold her feelings to his fans.
Made money out of her dance. 
Everyone enjoys her at jams, 
specially when she shows a prance.
Her owners thought she was ...

Praise

...
  Ingenious phrases of praise 
     fall flat on our ears
   
  The conscience pricks them ~
     balloons of our fears

Your Loss

...How could you be that clueless? 
    Your actions are  frustrating, and the games you play look foolish 
                                         Tell me why 
                    You decide, and t...

The Mouse With A Hat

...The mouse with the hat ran 
 to me doing combat,  
They made me feel short and fat,
I just wanted to eat cheese and chat,
I always dreamed I'd be an American aristocrat, 
My reflection tells me ...

Nervous

...Sometimes when
 I see you
I get a bit nervous 
my voice start trembling, 
my legs start shaking
and my heart starts jumping.
I even talk a bit of mumbo
and a bit of jumbo
To others it may see...

The Man In The Street

...The Man in the Street

Watch out, watch out for the man in the street
Who is finding a voice that you don’t want to hear.

And for too long, to...
