Premium MemberFlipping My Lid

It’s been a hard day but there’s no laws to say
That I can’t settle down with a gin
Late night R & R with an hour of TV
And then I will maybe turn in

The gin… that was easy, just spin that screw cap
Then tip up the bottle and pour
But what freaking demon has screwed G &

Premium MemberLifting the lid

Started shielding myself a long time ago as a useful tactic to not burst and overflow 

Intentionally kept a lid on any emotion as told myself not to make a commotion   

What used to work before is now a burden so I’m ready to reveal what is behind the curtain 

Fine with letting

Keep the Lid On

Keep the Lid On
There is no reason to throw away years of progress for a momentary,
    fit of anger,
        you will not obtain a profit from rioting in the street,

Do not play into the hands who would like to turn the situation,

Premium MemberSanta Loses His Lid

Dasher was reluctant, and in a bad mood anyway
So, he let Santa try to push him, out of his way
Santa gave an elongated sigh as he pushed him up snow.
But Dasher weighs five hundred and two and refused to go.

What will I do with you? Santa asked his reindeer, the lead.
He might have to appoint

Fireflies

It’s an interesting thing that little children do,

Catching fireflies in a jar not thinking it through.

They cover the jar and tighten the jar lid,

Placing it in the bookcase from mother it’s hid.

Tucked in their beds in a very dark room,

The tiny lights dancing as if to a tune. 

Then slowly one by one the lights

On Politicians Keep a Lid

On Politicians Keep A Lid

On Politicians we should keep a lid,
And they always act like a little kid,
Preposterous,
Like rhinocerious;
Who we must forbid and of get rid.

Cookie Tin Lid Perfect

"Bellows",
bellows the blacksmith
the thatched roof crofter's cottage
so beautiful 
in the cottage garden
the wild pink heather evokes
fond memories of Victoria.

Trump Caused Us To Flip Lid

Trump Caused Us To Flip Lid

Trump has caused us to flip our lid;
On all his actions should apply skid;
Am battle torn;
Weather worn;
Bring him to an end and do get rid.

Jim Horn

This is my tenth poem of the day
I have written and cannot write
any more. Will continue tomorrow.
Hope this does take care of your 
comments day.

Did a Bid On the Lid

Am watching Chuck Todd and The Lid
right now.

Did A Bid On the Lid

Had been no telling what they did,
So would go head and make a bid;
By next dawn,
New phenomanon;
Won and ended up buying "The Lid."

Trump Had Flipped His Lid

Trump Had Flipped His Lid

We remember when Trump did flip his lid;
And we knew he had been just a little kid;
Total nonsense,
While dense;
You could surely tell it by the things he did.

Premium MemberLift Off the Lid For Peace

This world so filled with its madness
it seems to press a self-destruct button
such is mankind's depth of sin
so it's goodness sums up to nothing

God declares any righteousness of man
is to His eyes just filthy rags indeed
for the Lord God demands only perfection
leaving mankind lost only to plead

Pleading for freedom from their sin
looking for a saviour

Trump Flipping His Lid

Trump Flipping His Lid 

My Today Forward Day By Day
emphasized God's grace. Is my
writing poems and posting them
on Poetry Soup an act of grace?
Here goes. You can start laughing
now if you want to.

Trump would gripe about our hype
Regarding him and each stereotype
His collisions with plans and decisions
How he wants to make many revisions.

Question marks grew
