Consider how flawed we are
Our offenses way over par
One must be objective and not selective
Or willingly disregard
A transgression has been committed
Contrition sincerely submitted
The scales will not balance holding hated or malice
Without anger and hurt omitted
While measuring the weight of the guilt
At some point the scales will tilt
Will you forgive or hold on to relive
And tear down the relationship built
If forgiveness weighs on the wrong side
Ill feelings will never subside
Next time you fall or you drop the ball
Fate's justice will not be so blind
an original poem by the "poemdog" Daniel Turner
The miser pinched his pennies
A mime who danced for dimes
Reserved in days of plenty
For days of rose and wine
Planted seeds of kindness
Did tend his garden well
Toiled forever mindless
Awaiting the steeple knell
But came a spring of drought
Bright green did turn to brown
Old miser chanced on doubt
As blood dripped off his brow
The summer hinted rain
In fall the winds did blow
Winter froze the panes
Next spring it rained and flowed
His nest was all but barren
The garden wild with weed
And days of his preparin'
Had all but gone to seed
His roses did not bloom
His wine did sour and smell
No dancing did resume
Alas the tolling bell
an original poem by the "poemdog" Daniel Turner
Though love has never been a friend of mine
She always seems to knock at my heart's door
Convincing me to trust her "one last time"
And promising that she will stray no more
The second she walks in things start to change
My mouth grows dry, I'm weak and feeling ill
She takes control and starts to rearrange
Where once was calm is now a fire drill
But without notice one day she moves out
To leave my life in total disarray
Her leaving simply reinforced my doubts
Avowing that my trust has been betrayed
Heartbroken once again by fickle love
She'll knock again someday, she always does
an original poem by Daniel Turner
Today we say goodbye to jill
This surely is a bitter pill
A lively lady full of the beans
A cruel world so it seems
A kind hearted lady with lots of love
On her final journey up above
A mother of 4 to say the least
Head of the table at the feast
Witty, funny and caring to all
Enjoy life at the angels ball
Now all the pain you had has gone
Dance with the stars go on go on
A rainbow queen that you were
Brighter than bright what I hear
Life like dolls being your passion
Keeping them into fashion
Other things I know you love
Your grandchildren and daughters above
We'll all miss your thoughtfulness
Even things that made us blush
Your best friend feebie was your pooch
But definitely not Turner and hooch
Pampered dog with plenty of coats
Miss you on the rainbow floats
So look over us from up there
We all know you do care
When we want reasons why
We will just look up to the sky
Thankyou mum, granny for being you
Now you've gone we are all blue
Wish we could feel your gentle touch
We LOVE and MISS you so so much
You thought, you broke my heart when you walked out
Well old friend, have I got some news for you?
It stung a bit, of that there is no doubt
But honey, I was anything but blue
The day you left, I bought a Cadillac
I bought myself some diamonds for some bling
My love train kept on rollin' down the track
And all I left behind was big smoke rings
See, girls like you, give women a bad name
And guys like me, look out, for girls like you
The only thing you got from me was shame
Now, you're the one who's left singing the blues
You were a pane of glass right from the start
And by the way, I never had a heart

Of famous sonnets I’ve unwrapped so far,
Including Shakespeare’s brilliance, I’ll contend,
None close compare as near one superstar,
Entitled “Daniel Turner - Cherished Friend”;
Aligned in gentle reassuring tone,
That shares with passion wisdom learned in time;
A wellness check on friends who feel alone,
Reminding patience renders life sublime;
When needed Daniel came to me one day,
And helped lift sullen skies that threatened peace,
For that I’d like the world to hear me say –
Thanks DT, for calming through troubled seas.
Although these lines lack any imagery,
I hope they show I’m here if you need me.
I'd like to spend my Christmas by the sea
Where ocean foam piles up like drifting snow
Green coconuts were ornaments on trees
And eggnog is a very old Bordeaux
The ocean would come caroling each night
Waves shimmer just like tinsel in the moon
I'd swing on ev'ry star 'til they left sight
Absorbing all the peace one could consume
And if old Santa happened to drop by
We'd talk a little treason by the fire
I'd ask if he could tell the reason why
Peace all around the world would not transpire
But what I'd like is not what I will get
I'll stay home and have Christmas with my pet
by Daniel Turner
I know the pain that love can bring
How hurtful words can bite and sting
When lies are told, love will take wings
That real love doesn't come with strings
Love, liken to a pendulum swing
Taking it all not giving a thing
Once I listened to my heart sing
When I thought love was everything.
What happens is, that we don't see
Sometimes love's not meant to be
Perhaps there should be a decree,
The lock for love has lost it's key
I found that love was not for me
It brings with it too much debris
Though some will say that love is free
I'd have to say, I disagree.

this poem explains the state i'm in
from humble beginnings to bitter end
haphazardly it might be a bit
but haphazardly is how i live
it's here to show you both my sides
from the heavy to the light
you'll have to wonder how i survive
or at least how i get by
painstakingly i'll add to it
all the crooks and crannies, every stitch
nothing will i dare omit
an open book i'll title it
it'll read just like a comedy
with it's share of tragedy in between
a real page turner for what it is
but that's just how my life is lived
i'll leave nothing out for you to guess
nothing more and nothing less
call the priest i must confess
for some of this they'll have my head
but after all is done and said
an open book i'll title it
Those were the days...
we loved our Spring's new blooms
with petals soft and fresh with morning dew.
We spent the best of time in Summer love.
So soon, our Winter days
past Autumn flew.
These are the days...
and how we value each
as they present more time to love and grow.
The scent of blooms from Spring to end of Fall
left sweet perfume
that drifts with Winter snow.
These are the days...
our special tasks complete,
and now we savor our fond memories.
And yet, our journey still continues on...
revives each day
with new discoveries.
These are the special days...
we relish now
in older years, but with young hearts that beat
to rhythms that are shared and most enjoyed...
togetherness...
that makes our lives complete.
