Lot Poems | Examples

Premium Member Ignoring a lot of Shoulds Today

I sit and think about all the shoulds
I could get off my duff and do it all
but I like staring out into my lovely woods
enjoying myself this wonderful fall

things need to be cleaned and tidied up
a plethora of messes should be put away
but I enjoy sitting out here with my pup
maybe I will do them all another day

26-8-2025 I’ve been sitting on a lot of mediocre

Surely one day, 
I won’t know ‘alone’. 
Surely one day, 
I won’t go, 
I won’t go anywhere alone.

Surely one day, 
I can hold on to you, 
Whenever I’m cold. 
Surely some way, 
I can hum to you, 
The tune to our song. 

I don’t know no dance, 
But you make me laugh, 
Smile, 
I’m stuck in your trance. 
You know you cross my mind, 
You make my heart beat, 
So fast, 
I wanna slow dance.

Premium Member WE HAVE A LOT TO LEARN

At this time in our country’s history
when so many people are so headstrong…
where so many think they are right…
while everyone else is wrong…

It would behoove us all to understand
wisdom, like respect…is something that we earn…
That no one has all the answers 
and…
we all have a lot to learn.


There is a lot of history and a little of you

Living off the glory your ancestors lived through 
You need to go out and live your life for you. 

Patriotic pride from an historical stride, 
a war that was won before you were alive 

the struggles for freedom 
the heroes who died 
born into freedom 
you didn’t decide 

History owes nothing but the offer of wisdom 
live for tomorrow, you are not a victim.

Premium Member A Lot of Nerve

     I prefer raw dates to most candidates
        Robert to Bill Gates
     Watching mine to lifting weights
        fewer versus more states

     Some call me a rock-ribbed conservative
        but they all have a lot of nerve
      My day is filled with uncommon verve
        in my swivel chair ~ Watch me swerve!

     for Obama and then Bush Jr., from 2006 - 2011.

Christmas Tree Lot

They dressed me up in tinsel
and lametta I recall
stood me in a corner
not as a wallflower
I was the belle of the ball
but now my needles shedding
the moment I've been dreading
limp lonely forgotten neglected
not long before I'm ejected
and two weeks later here am I
a sad and sorry sight to behold
enough to make one cry
discarded by the side of the road
wasting away out in the cold
alas this is the fate awaits us
to make the children smile
here today gone tomorrow
born to sparkle but for a while


To Wit, To Woo

There's a lot to be said
for silence
but you won't hear it from me
I'm satisfied tongue-tied
as the less said the more I see
and even if the point is moot
'tis a wise owl
who don't give a hoot

YY  UR  YY  UB  IC  UR  YY  4  ME
(Too wise you are too wise you be I see you are too wise for me)

Premium Member My lot in eternity is to forever gather dust and other eternal observations



My lot in eternity is to forever gather dust.
And I agree.
For the way I lived my life, that's probably just.
But I'd so hoped for a task
were at least part of the ask
was to do something fruitful with the excess of my lust.
I asked this whiz of divinity,
"What's heaven like for infinity?"
He said, "Each day, we adore the Lord,
as we partake of His smorgasbord,
then hang with the Holy Trinity.

VOICES

Wake up!
The voices in my head keep screaming 
Open your eyes
The voices keeps echoing 
Always  waking me up
Whenever life hits me down 
From the  mountain top
Down to the depths of the valley.

Look up!
The voices keeps yelling like I'm in the well
You miss a lot of blessings, when looking down
Look up!!
So you can climb that mountain ahead of you
Time and focus is all you need to get there
There's a lot to enjoy at the mountain top, if you conquer.

Keep going, no matter what! 
The voices in my head, keeps saying relentlessly 
If it's humanly possible 
It's possible for you, only if you keep going 
Stay on it until you manifest it, it's the law of nature
Tap tap tap tap... Until you've receive
The voices keeps  hollering in my head and mind.

Premium Member Lucky Day

Lucky Day

As luck would have it I:
put on the last pair of clean pants
spilled cereal on them
realized I was late for a meeting
ran through a stop sign
did not see the state trooper sitting there
got a hefty fine
rolled into an empty parking lot
fell into a pile of mulch
ran into the office
found out that it was Saturday
in a fit of peak ran back to the car
and fell into the same pile of mulch
sped home as fast as I could
forgot about the state trooper sitting there
got another hefty fine
got home and breathed a sigh of relief
and said to myself this is my lucky day.

Premium Member Tanks-A-Lot

Hey everyone
A new job I got
From none other
Than Tanks-A-Lot

We build large tanks
Two everyday
And that is how
We earn our pay

Hey everyone
We’re going to ship
Thirty two tanks
At ten mill a clip

So let’s give it
Our very best shot
Courtesy of
Tanks-A-Lot

Hey everyone
Now we can play
Here come the tanks
From the USA

Let’s rush them out
To the front line
Those Tanks-A-Lot
Are sure looking fine

     ---------

Hey everyone
Those new machines
Just blew my house
To smithereens

Along with my neighbors
Now all in a mess
How did they do it
Tanks-A-Lot, I guess

Hey everyone
They’ve blown our town
Into rubble
Everything’s down

What did we do, are
We ‘X-marks the spot’
Thanks a lot
Tanks-A-Lot

    -------------

They’re just bulls-eyes
To raise money on
Money that’s borrowed
To blow up their town

Each dollar borrowed
Profits big shots
Then they spend it
On Tanks-A-Lot

Interest is owed
Money is made
Out of thin air
It’s a charade

That’s dirty business
Making people rot
To profit the top
And Tanks-A-Lot

Premium Member Actions Says A Lot

Do you think life as you know it/
Is all that exists/
Wow... you are blind to think that/
When God says no God before him/
Is God admitting there's other Gods/
This life has consequences/
We really are judged/
When we leave this life/
Whatever God you believe in/
You are judged by your actions/
You are judged by your heart/
Your actions says a lot about your heart/
Lose the hate/
Lose the ostracism/
Lose the discrimination/
Lose the bullying/
Lose the social distancing/
Lose the slander and defamation/
Those in power sets boundaries/
Those in power sets restrictions/
Those in power are not God/
Those in power are judged, too/
God or any God, any Goddess/
Only cares about our actions and our hearts/
Learn to understand/
Learn to develop agape love/
Because this life is not the only reality in existence/
Love is the universal keyword/
Agape love is the universal keyword/

Missing You A Lot

A summer ago, a gift from you
A melancholy autumn, without you
A summer ago, there's no one but you
The summer looks like a game
Excitement bring fun to both of us
It's great but lasts a little
Spring come, I'm missing you
Looking your picture I have you
Hope you will come one day
And fill this emptiness away.

By Now you Know

Clinking, clinking
I heard the clinking in 
repetition
what could
cause
whatever object this is to
make this clinking sound.
Clink!
The loudest sound
yet.
peaking my interest
one's honest admission
dredged from it's
translucence
clear in obvious
objective
gaining my attention
I relaxed towards
it's conclusion
blanketing myself
to warm my now
needing desire
