Premium Member The Bulldog Responds To Her Critics

Judgement                                 
                                                 certainty wed to criticism
                                        forces, prunes and narrows your sight
                                 your attitudes, insights, actions, values all follow
                                    dwindling down into ever smaller focus         
                                                a blind unfeeling faith I call  
                                                           Predjudice      

                    
                  We                                                         I                     
       imperfect beings all,                                 do quite enough
    should never long forget                          self-evaluating, Thanks.                         
   how each of us must begin                   no need for further unhelpful
        as someone else's                                   nonsensical input                                   
            all untested                                             now from                                  
               "They".                                                     You                      
                                                                                                  
                                                                                                        
 
                                                                Know 
                                                    thyself full well before 
                                               thou casts those petty stones 
                                            from out thy house of sullied glass; 
                                                 consult thy mirror closely - 
                                                          does it reflect 
                                                            Ignorance?

The Mile Long Tree

Kill off the Mile Long Tree
For anyone who cares only cares about everyone
Revelation in mind, we don't feel the same
You should sort through your thick skull, my friend.
Each twig, a secret forever held
Each leaf, a statement never expelled.
My dear dreamcatcher, though my dearest is radical,
You're being ripped out by your roots, big buddy.
You're calling for unhelpful help.

So "Relational Warming" makes headline news
It consecrates our separate views.
They must've gathered some leaves,
And ever too many twigs.
You'll just grow another tree or two
To make up for the 'loss'
You'll just grow some extra foliage,
Replace the grass with moss
You'll just keep on making excuses
And dwell on your own exhaust.
But you're playing vampire in this romance, my darling.
To blame, you have only yourself.
You're dancing a dangerous dance, my dear
You're calling for unhelpful help.

Premium Member Adults Beg For My Attention

They come in to gripe.
	They come in to bounce, ideas off me.
                                I am trained to not give advice.
                                              But I am trained for children, and I do not do as well with adults.

With children I can be patient, kind.
                With children I can be flexible, pliable, considerate, extra attentive.

With adults I seem to lose my patience.
                   They should have figured it out by now. They are older right, seasoned?
                                           They should know themselves.

But they do not.
            They do not know what they like.    They do not know what they think.
                                 They cannot tell you how they feel.

Many have spent all of their lives, stuffing their feelings into a pie-eating contest.
                   Many have exercised their feelings out of themselves.
                                     Some are more confused about what they want now than they
                                                        Were when they were children.

I have no patience with them.
                    Not realizing they have been tromped on, stomped on, smacked and beaten.
                                              Until very little of the real me is left.

I concentrate on the children, not interested in these adults.
                                      Unhelpful, unkind, and unconcerned.
                                                   Due to my own feelings of sheer annoyance.

Spare Tire

Spare tire is kept available
As an urgent need replacement
To a dead flat rubber cushion
Of a wagon off the pavement.

A spare tire is an excess fat
Around someone's heavy waistline; 
If girl gets rid of this thickness, 
Then her figure shall be just fine.

Spare tire is an unneeded or 
Unproductive and rude person; 
Unhelpful to the guild or group, 
His life is brought to oblivion.

Spare tire is a male or female
That you gladly carry with you 
On dinner date to rely on
If the meeting sadly falls through.

Carried in cars all of the time, 
Full of air that doesn't expire; 
It‘s important to be having
An extra or a new spare tire.

Chaines

Uncooperative 
self reliant
unhelpful or
unwilling to asit
often done to
achieve benevolent
goalies
prioritizing the
well being of others over
the well being of ones self.
_________________________________
A great dancer both were
they made the jealous fool admitt.
Both are great dancers
but I wish him to
quit their alliance
and be part of mine
anything else is seen as
foolish and unproductive.
Due to the rigors of time
and finding love with another
he came to his senses
and reached out to those
who wished him apart of
there dance team
they met, they agreed, they
rehearsed, they developed a routine
something performers
would envy and what audiences
would demand.
They met at the right time
in there life before
they were to mean
from the rigors of experience
to see a future that
would included one another
There next obstacle was
finding the right sound
to be the backdrop
for the Movement of Collaborative
People

Premium Member Writers Block

Damn this Writers block, 
Need an electric shock,
Not even the alarm clock, 
Can wake my inner stock. 

Wait a second, something just Entered my mind
Nay it is but a flicker,  from the lamp behind 
Go to read the newspaper, every page is stuck, 
As with my grey matter, I’m having little luck. 

Damn this writers block, 
How can I unlock,
All I hear is the clock,
Unhelpful going, tick tock. 

Thoughts race inside me,  progress is very slow 
I grow weary from the effort, precious little to show 
I’m lost in a desert, or perhaps all at sea
Is there any difference, my page remains ink free. 

Damn this writers block,
No key can unlock,
I only hear the clock,
Unlike me It works, tick tock.

Hand-Me-Downs

You started out in life just like me
hanging around in hand-me-downs
from your family
Some were nice, like
your daddy's dimples when you smile
or your mama's almond shaped eyes
While others were unfortunate
like your grandma's testy temper
or your uncle Earl's ears

But not all of these
hand-me-downs
are permanent
Some you will hopefully
change out of and
replace as you get older...

Like others' unhealthy attitudes
unhelpful coping mechanisms
uneducated assumptions
about other people
or the world at large

Your perspective
how you choose to see the world
is as changeable as a pair
of cheap sunglasses
so if they ever
hinder your view- toss them out!
And get some new
glasses that fully fit
in a style that expresses
the person you truly want to
become

Un

Unavailable for work,
Unbeatable prices,
Uncertain times.

Undetectable fraud,
Unenviable tasks,
Unfathomable crimes.

Ungrateful children,
Unhelpful comments,
Unintentional consequences.

Unjustified dismissal,
Unkind acts,
Unlimited credit.  

Unmentionable briefs,
Unnecessary accompaniments.
Unopened mail.

Unpronounceable words,
Unquestionable loyalty,
Unreasonable requests.

Unseasonal weather,
Untroubled teenager's,
Unusual behavior.

Unverified reports,
Unwanted attention,
Un-x-rayed patient.

Unyielding bolt,
Un-zesty pizza,
For unproductive people, uninterested in undivided attention.
