Quid Poems | Examples


Quid Me Dicis

This bard has fine perks,but he needs more work .
A dude on Poetry states nicely writ.
The remark was pleasant quite a nice perk.
A lady says my poem is graceful.
Many do state my poems are tasteful.
Make the best of what happens with no aid.
Write poems from the heart you have it made.

The bard has fine perks focus on them too.
Look to the upside in all haps ok .
One dude said they couldn’t discern my view.
Make the best of what dawns,haps turn alright 
Praise to this bard by folks makes him feel bright .
Folks  about Cedar tree ode, dismayed.
Poet gripes? 3 awards won has it made .

Limit To Stupidity

How many people are that stupid
Asked the hot and they brought the tepid,
For a sweet tale released the vapid
Reflect on hatred,. "No, on Cupid"
Get us The tasty "No Insipid"?

How many would wait to spend last quid
On water for being Nature's liquid?
How many people that much stupid
For survival face just lipid?

Quid Pro Quo Barter In Life

Whenever strife involves
  Quid pro quo, barter...
I just offer what I have,
I only wish what is mine...,
 i pay anyway
with self coin...

Political Quid Pro Quo
Written: by Miracle Man
3-22-2020

Ignoring the obvious is not sly like a fox,
and most Solutions come, from thinking outside the box..

Many concentrate on blaming, not the problem at hand,
as political discourse helps fear to sweep our land.

Self preservation is always, the name of the game,
So first, many will seek, someone else to affix blame.

This November those chosen, won't be made from our best,
and very likely they'll become, just like the rest.

Not every politician we elect is self serving,
but it doesn’t take long to think they’re deserving.

Quid Pro Quo

Can you make some space for me?
I will sit there beside you
I will not leave you
Listen to the sounds of waves
Look at the bright moon
Listen to the silence of the moon
The moon and I are very peaceful
Both are trying hard to hide the dark side
Let me sit very close to you
Hear your heartbeat
Feel your secret ache
Can you make some space for me?
I want to barter your pain with my happiness

Premium MemberNo Quid Pro Quo

'Twas the night before Christmas and impeachment was in the air
 Trump kept tweeting that it was unfair
 The truth had come out, but he continued to lie
 But Moscow Mitch assured him that victory was nigh

 But then Pence started to grin
 Hoping for the moment when he would be sworn in
 Somehow he knew that the Prez was a crook
 Who never did anything by the book
 
 Giuliani the grinch was the Christmas 'hit man'
 So Trump gave the order and Christmas was banned
 They arrested Santa and read him his rights
 So Santa was grounded unable to take flight

 Then Trump decided to break away
 So he took off on Santa's sleigh
 He rode around Washington saying Ho ho ho
 Telling everyone No quid pro quo!

"Quid pro quo is a Latin phrase that literally means
"something for something." 
The phrase usually indicates an exchange of goods 
or services of roughly equivalent value."



Jack and Jill went up the hill

To a little log cabin filled

with bedding and candy pills. 

With a little skill

Jack asked Jill to take a pill 

then  roll in the bed fill

of hay. Jill with a loud shrill,

is this    Quid pro quo?

There was a local lad named one-armed Joe

     Who was an alligator wrestling pro

          He misjudged the 'gator's snap

               Resulting in this mishap

                    He dined on 'gator tail as quid pro quo

Quid Pro Quo?!

Ascending unto the fourth pinnacles auspicious plyth ~


To quantumly observe these plateaus regions of oeuvre


Molten monograms of monarchies scripted immure; immolating


These gravitating exhibits of perceptions inter alia


Past particles of meticulously latticed perplexities....


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


....Quid pro quo?!

Quid Pro Quo

Will you ever reach the summit
Where all you see is stretched below
When after all you’ve faced
Has become a flickering glow
After all the difficult tries
And the shallow echoes
The dilemmas and the fears
From the things you didn’t know
When it all falls down
Like a whiteout blizzards snow
When there’s no turns left
Where you didn’t already go
You thought the end was near
After the hurricane’s blow
But your angel didn’t come
With a clear path shown
When you didn’t stay in hell
But were there to say hello
And you bartered with satan
Another quid pro quo
You tried to run fast
But could only move slow
What is there that’s left?
More dues that you owe
For the life you’ve lived
And the oats that you sowed
It's the levy that you pay
For the quid pro quo
