Lopsided Poems | Examples


Premium Memberchad a lopsided bird

Chad, a lopsided bird had a shoulder that popped up
The other one held him down when he went to sup
Why am I so asymmetrical? He asked his birdy daddy.
No idea, his dad said. Want to be my caddy?

His dad was a golfer, and symmetrical too.
His mother was teensy lopsided, her name was Lu.
His sister was symmetrical like their dad.
I guess I could carry your clubs, said lopsided Chad.

Lopsided

People say it's normal for some part of your body to be lopsided,
not everything is perfectly symmetrical.

What if it's my heart that's lopsided?

I think it's because parts of it slowly fell away 

After I entrusted it to you.

Premium MemberWalk The Tightrope

I tread so lightly
upon taut thread of being
holding back restrained
fearing failure ever poised
lopsided by threat reward

Premium MemberLopsided Time

Such a lopsided affair, 
are you game..
should you care
the heart
must, 
at some point
perhaps at its weakest
trust.
   
No' oh nah..
I don't ask much,
your divining rod
for lust of men
or hope of God..

there's only enough
 time
 to find
each longing dependent,
resplendent
oh love, make me
yours
and you 
mine.

The One With a Lopsided Grin

He amended a heart he didn’t break,
His lips never uttered a lie,
His hands were never cruel,
When he sang, danced, spoke gently, and when he smiled,
My heart fluttered and was lost for a while
He makes my day when he looks at me and raises an eyebrow with a lopsided grin, 
His foolishness makes my head spin.
He’s the past, the future, and the present 
His love is tender and omnipresent

Premium MemberA Lopsided Equation

There's a well-known popular formulation --
Achievement's ninety-nine percent perspiration
On the heels of one percent inspiration  

What's missing from this lopsided equation?
  ~ The not insignificant role of desperation

Premium MemberFeeling Lopsided

Got up feeling lopsided.
Not sure what to do with 
The day.

Wondered about
This green feeling.
What does
Green mean?

Feeling confident
It will come to me
If I don’t push it.

Lopsided and Sideways

LOPSIDED and SIDEWAYS

Severe blindness and handicapness

Of double mindedness

I can't stand

It pierce under my skin

Ever so deeply to leave no room for open discussion

Only confusion that leaves me with nothing

But lies to myself and unsafe untread waters

that fails miserably to quench the thirst of my true understanding of what is me

What is real

And what is trusted

Which ever so leads me

Unbalanced and confused
