Isn'T the Same Old Spiel

8/10/17


Be careful what you ask for
Next thing you know it wasn't all that great, or you want even more

This isn't the same old spiel
I'll tell you something real
Everyone has an 'Achilles heel'


Speaking the truth, life is rather short
Don't be a poor sport
The ball is in your court


You are really barking up the wrong tree
If you think you're godly
Compared to everybody

Only here once
No ifs ands or buts
All eventually bite the dust

It's not all make believe
From A to Z

Others will always meddle
I don't care if you believe in god or the devil
Better grasp the nettle
Instead of trying to always settle
If you want to reach a higher level

Again
I'll hit the nail on the head
Don't get misled
We all wind up dead

I'm going to call it a day
But not going to throw it all away

Real Or Not

I don't know if your real or not

But my attention you have got

Today there really isn't much to do

I start the bike and think about you

There is no way to call

Or even contact you at all

So I ride down the street

Still hoping that some time we will meet

Through out those word there's nothing to sort

As always the ball is in your court

In the chase I am really no good

To rush is something that we never should

It's a waste of time some would say

But you did calm me on those needed days

I know your shy and have some fear

Yet from you I'd still hope to hear

With nothing more that I can do

It's all completely up to you

Then again it could be no big deal

I am not even sure if you are real

Or in the end will I be surprised

And find you as the wolf in disguise

No matter how it should end

If your real you have a friend!

Premium Member An Idiomatic Chicken Tale

An Idiomatic Chicken Tale

Don’t count your chickens before they hatch,
you may bite off more than you can chew.
But if you do count, make sure you have
a bird in the hand rather than two in the bush.

When counting don’t put all of your eggs in one basket,
or you will be running around like a chicken with its head cut off.
Try not to let any hatched chickens escape because
they may try to cross the road.

Try to remember to count slowly because
slow and steady wins the race. 
Someone else could count but for now
the ball is in your court.

If you decide to count you can’t do
it at the drop of a hat.
Fortunately, having to count will only 
occur once in a blue moon.

If you don’t really want to count
remember, there are other fish in the sea.
You can always ask them to do it
and rain on their parade.

Whoever counts can’t slough off
they will have to go the whole nine yards.
If an error is made, don’t blame the process
because a poor workman blames his tools.

Someone who doesn’t understand what you 
are doing may figure you are off your rocker
and not playing with a full deck. But I say
people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

Always keep in mind that you have to break a few
eggs to make an omelet!

Education

Hon, let me discribe for you education
First we begin with registration
It's the first step according
to regulations.
Identifying yourself with the 
administration
and rectifying your goal of graduation.
Of course in between there will be classes
and examinations.
But every class is a step twards
matriculation.
Of course there will be some failures
and menstrations 
that cause your frustrations.
But keep on striving for the day 
when they say
CONGRATULATION'S
And we'll give you,
a standing ovation



( OK Gang, school is about to start and here's a new theme. Back to school poetry. this is the 
first but i'm kicking it to a worthy cause. a mother trying to educate her children lets see how 
she does with this. Aleera De La Keur the ball is in your court.)ps it could also be about 
leaving a high school sweetheart.

The Power of Mercy

A full calm Moon arises subtlety, and so starts the new day
Cloud silhouettes above me yet allowing a gentle light spray
A rush as every nerve is aware but not of the simple things
Knowing precisely that God is there and the Glory He brings

It's kind of like that joke, the one that you had to be there
I know not your yoke, but I know that of this He is aware
I could tell story upon story, and day upon Glorious Day
But you won't know His Glory through what I have to say

Everything I've spoken herein, every line that I've said
I was never free from sin, but my soul was never dead
As in tossing over a rope thinking surely you'd grab hold
In Him there is always hope, come in from out in the cold

Bare forth your own witness in the praising of His Name
Only the Lord can Bless in taking on our sin and shame
The ball is in your court, perhaps time to return serve
By so not meaning to distort as do none of us deserve


Titus 3:5	 
Not by works of righteousness which we have done,
but according to his mercy he saved us,
by the washing of regeneration, 
and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

Bumble-Bee On Fruits

Bumble-bee on fruits

The silly me
The silly bumble-bee
Bumble-bee buzz in ears
Bumble-bee hovers on flowers
Flowers in Ikebana
Flowers spread fragrance
Fragrance of petrichor
Fragrance of coffee
Coffee with cream
Coffee with beloved
Beloved sent a greeting card
Beloved left to work
Work is worship
Work in a team
Team spirit wonderful
Team of hockey
Hockey is India's national game
Hockey stick is not a bat
Bat is a mammal
Bat and cricket ball
Ball is in your court
Ball room dance so captivating
Captivating sense of humour
Captivating talent show
Show your skill
Show of bike
Bike ride jolly
Bike with great capacity
Capacity to climb a mountain
Capacity to convince people
People make democracy possible
People gather to protest
Protest against atrocities on women
Protest in a peaceful way
Way to enlightenment
Way to waterfall
Waterfall largest is Victoria
Waterfall amidst nature
Nature so enchanting
Nature has answers
Answers so spontaneous
Answers witty and brief
Brief legal statement
Brief summer holiday
Holiday in a beach resort
Holiday tasting tropical fruits
Fruits of hard-work is success
Fruits so tasty and pulpy sweet
Sweet
Success!

Premium Member Silly Poet

Silly poet, I like to write in rhyme
Look at my work I do it all the time

But that is such a basic pair
And nobody is going to care

I guess that's truly fair
But there are only so many words to share

Expand your vocabulary like a boss
Use definitions as if they were floss

The ball is in your court so shoot for three
Because that is when your writing is free

Don't be afraid to hit the rim and it go out
Silly poet you can't give in to doubt

This is truly your time to shine
So don't sit here and whine

Silly poet, I like to write in rhyme
But now it's your time
