Per Poems

per biology:

am i alive?
what classifies something as alive?

    respiration
i am breathing
but just barely
trying to capture any air i can between sobs
    growth
i am growing 
it becomes increasingly difficult 
recognizing myself in the mirror every day
and believing the next age i'm turning 
    excretion
i am excreting 
i sweat

He Still my Friend
Song by Dolce

 pity the fool
that you don't
Love him
It ain't cool
He believes
You're his friend
Don't be cruel
this lacks human
feelings
You know the rule
That just ain't cool

Tipping out on your
Mister
Getting us all involved
Frustrating the narrative
Acting like

Just one per cent in love

Just one per cent’s enough in love,
Came a voice from clouds far above.
What about ninety nine?
Dubious, wait in a line--
Summon courage to make a move!

Humanity changes

Today's world is same as before,
The process changes  as days go..
Like science changes the ancient to modern..
World is changed by the thoughts of human.
They are still them but not their soul and mind
Everyday humanity becomes more victorious in the struggle with space and time..
But world belongs to this humanity.!
All cycles are going on as

Per Paparazzi

Watching & waiting while in hiding
and faking
Views for the taking but unaware
what is waiting
Freezing & shaking but is it fear or
its weather?
Snapshots for the taking posing for 
them cuz it's clever

Good best & better to shy away
from the faking
Shade is made by the sun but it's
above what it's making
Shaking what has been rooted
leaving behind hollow

i’m not sure of who i am going to be.

i have many many dreams, some big and some little. 
but, it always comes back to one. 
i lay awake at night thinking of my dream and how i yearn to reach it.

Premium MemberThe Road Not Taken: Per My Written Short Story

Two friends had emerged as fellows would,
And shook swore they ought not under oath
Be they two travelers, long time stood
They both looked at one pass par as good
The other went next to an outgrowth

And he took the one, twas just as near,
Yet trolling unwraps a likely stain,
As he was darkened amidst despair
He hoped and prayed

I: ? Resolve

kids all playing ball
old friends laughing of old times
couples holding hands
a lone man sits wandering
face dried of tears dons a smile

Premium MemberNot 100 Per Cent Of The Time


If you can't say something nice
It's best to say nothing at all
That is going to be me from now on
My humour is often misinterpreted
Causing an undesirable reaction
I wrongly assume everyone sees through it
And that IT IS simply humour
I apologize, but this is me
It is me to make light of situations
That are uncomfortable to deal with
We

Robins seem to enjoy my yard
Awaiting the coolness of dewed mornings
To awaken the wriggling worms
A seasonal offering favored by the feathered ones

Dandelion waiters tend to the color and flavor
Serving up “all natural”, organic, pesticide free offerings
They can vouch for the claim
As they have managed the place for 30 years

A bold red Cardinal sits atop a

Per Chi E' Solo E Non Ama-For The Lonely One Who Doesn't Love

Per chi e' solo e non ama,
ci saranno solo giorni
cosi' lunghi e grigi;
e' tanto facile comprendere la sua noia,
perche' io ero uno di loro, cercando i sorrisi, togliendoli ai piu' felici: forse era invidia!
E' non tanto facile capire la mia nioa, la persita della mia liberta'
e non esplorare l'estasi,
non essere felice cantando una melodia!

Per chi

Per Se

The declaration of intent
whereas the I do's
and what have you.
"then as wife"
she spoke her voice trembling,
 she looked to the ceiling and smiled
and her whole demeaner changed
this time after clearing her voice she said
"my intent is to be your
wife< two people
on the same page,
a perfect alignment an adjustment
to make perfect the day of our new

Per Pay Per Pay

lacking inspiration
I gave up trying
put it down left it alone
thought I could come up with come thing on my own
then I sat down
said that's what I would do
but when I got comfortable
I started thinking of you
if love would spared us
and we were left alone
We could have made it on our own

who suffers from, the inability to burp

he sounds so bored presenting

the lid of the jar of the piccalilli

The Hackenschmidt Championship

Left to chance
they sorted the
best and gave
full respect to those
who had labored
before them.
by giving names
to there respected
abilities by
honoring
there finishers
with names that
that would cause one to
speak of both present and past
with an eye towards the
future.
those ambitious foes
who are then eager to show
there abilities
would stand shoulder
to shoulder
with potential foes
those who could elevate
there careers
thru competition.
" One spoke either
