Unsmart Metre

I’ll apologise here at the start
For this verse won’t appeal to your heart.
So banal, it’s a shame
But I’ll shoulder the blame
’Cos it's not rude, nor funny, nor smart!

Could Never Be Copacetic

Could Never Be Copacetic 

Chances are Trump can never be copacetic;
But he has often been known to be heretic.
Not worth seeing,
And disagreeing,
Which is pathetic when should be apologetic.

Un-Forbidden

Separated at first glance 
Involved by first stance
Betrayed by demands
Sustained at a trance 
Rush of flow 
Touch of a glow 
Synergetic light 
Apologetic flight 
At once ignite 
A tale of sacred hearts....

Premium Member Spousal Abuse

He said he would never hit her again
She wanted to believe him of course
Sincere and apologetic
Her children begged her not to
Her parents were askance
She has been killed now 
A child sad 
Abuse is 
Living
Rage

Premium Member Apologetic Moments

They’re merely empty words unless their from the heart, meaningless apologies meant to save one’s face. From damage we’ve done we are seeking a restart, but previously uttered words we can’t erase.

Premium Member I Am Sorrowful Father God Give Me a New Start I Repent of This Sinful Heart-

Come before you Father with shame in my heart; Apologetic and sorrowful it remains I am in the dark; So thoughtful yet thoughtless I do in part; Repentance I am sorry Father forgive me my sins give me a new start;

Ugly

Literally Lousy

I remember when the little buggers
hit the elementary school -
the apologetic tone
of the school nurse
as she informed me by phone,
And the hate I felt
when I went to pick my daughter up
and the teacher said,
“Take her home, clean her up, and have her back in the morning.”
… and she wasn’t even dirty.

Life can still be magic

No!! Don’t pity me!!!
I don’t need your sympathy!!
Challenges are for those who have the spine
No, I’m not saying that all is fine
I cannot move my legs
But I don’t have to beg
I can still use my brain
Learn some new skills and train
Don’t feel apologetic 
I am a paraplegic 
Who has found in life a new magic

Desperate Times

I bought her flowers today, an attempt to beg her to stay. Out of stock, is my luck, the gents placed bets with the last buck. Desperate times, call upon apologetic rhymes... 20 July 2022 'Short Verse Inspired By Pictures' Poetry Contest Sponsored by Lisa YY Picture A, 32 words

Standing Graveside

As the cold winds blow
I’ll love you eternal
We’ve always been one
In separating ways
Here you will find me
Anticipating my demise
To see you again
And say what I couldn’t
Until that day
I’ll wait rewriting
Reciting apologetic excuses
Here I stand
Where the lifeless reside
Letting the wintry winds gust
Like a whip on my back
Forgive me

Premium Member May I Ask

Unto your loving counteanace
are we not a pair to be
forever enthralled
unlisted by humanity
altruistic apologetic
always empathetic
sometimes failed
other time hailed
our times of the here and now
resolving past misnomers
foretelling a price for our present
the power drain from our past
the forgiveness of our futures.
Aye, there's the rub.

Premium Member Aplogetic To the One I So Love-

O' darling sorry you whom I adored; Forgiven us our transgressions toward; the miss intent treatment of each other; Now We're ever so more adorning, much more in passage previous love; Darling dearest one I am asking forgiveness so; I am apologetic to you the one I so Love

I'M Feeling You

Like Fallin in love all over again
you have been very gentle and apologetic
you have been so thoughtful and mildly romantic
could it be you have learned my hearts language and began to read my mind
when you fall in love i hope it's forever
i hope loves touch to your skin awakens you from deep within
i hope you return that touch with just as much intensity

I'M Your Nurse

I am your nurse
I like Southpark
I am a closet Southpark liker
I like a $400 bank overdraft protection
especially during this recession that does not exist
I  wonder if can live without tangerines and chapstick
I like Vets
I like to hear what they say
I am comforted by the comfort I give
I am tender, business like, funny, professional, apologetic
I am lucky to be a nurse

Premium Member Apologetic Heart

Apologetic heart
Cannot sleep
Or swallow

Feeling sad
Kicking memory of idiocy
Self-angry

Heavy heart
Too sad to cry
Mirror glares as I practice my lines

Will you answer your door?
Would I?
I over-guess myself, feeling dejected.

Sorry and sad.  Depressed.
I have to try.
Dressing quickly. Love propels me.

Premium Member Come Have Some Coffee

sun sprinkles streak over the top of the water
giving it a happiness it did not have at six a.m.
the sun is waking up! a shrill voice says
I turn and see a boy of about four walking the beach

his following mother gives me an apologetic look
“Hi!” I say, waving at her. "Come have some coffee."
I had brought a cup for my husband but he is sleeping.
we drink in silence listening to her joyful son.

Not Better

Somebody said i am better than this
but the truth is i am not
laughter turns to misery with hints of agony
sleep with chance to never wake
the voice inside no longer answers my pleas
words are embroidered into a papyrus shawl
that hides me from apologetic sneers
living in the darkest lines
searching for the sadness
notes that release stolen tears
Searching for a sadness
that stops all feeling

Apologetic

Got sand on my eyes 
I couldn’t see my mistake
I walked like a trouble
I’m unacceptably different

Back before the old times
Back when were young and wild
We used to play games
Memories are still alive

I wrote everything in mind
The pieces of memories
But don’t get me wrong
I never throw anything

The will to say sorry
I’m telling to the world
This sincerest apology
Can we restart all over?

Premium Member Pages of Time

Turning back
The pages of time
How the years
Have slipped away

It was like yesterday
Or maybe a whole life away
When the world
Was in its prime
Was it really that long ago

The inside not changed
But the shell unrecognizable
Giving away the years gone by
Our joy of meeting up dwindles 
To a sheepish awkward pause
An almost apologetic look
For what’s become of us

Essence of Betrayal

Betrayal, like the coldest wind that
turns to ice in your veins 
That cannot be liquefied by 
apologetic words or obvious guilt 
It only seems to melt when we accept
that people will always do what they want 
But shards always remain and the 
shock still lingers in the memory 
Because you never saw it coming 
But now you watch for it and 
although the ice has melted, the
coldness reminds you to expect it...

Premium Member What Is A Poet 3

What Is A Poet 3 
Her hands are paralyzed 
Anxiety keeps the fire alive 
Don’t wait up for me 
I’m uninvited you see 
My poems are unjustified 
Soundful melodies dances effortlessly 
For I am nobody 
For the blind to see 
Because of poetry, I am summoned 
Write bluntly upon my radiant imperfections 
I am not apologetic 
Hide from society with no regret 
Time can be persuasive 
Poems wait for me in the dark

APOLOGETIC

For all we've been through,  you deserve more. 
Forgive this fool! 
I wish I could take everything back
But be angry with me, I'll bear
I know I acted most dumb
Probably my brain froze and went dumb
My silly acts won't you forgive? 
My tears I shed, love, to you ill always give
My Jewell of life! ??
You live in my sight, 
I can't let you go! 
I said betrayal I can't forgive. Today,
I need forgiveness. Irony! 
APOLOGETIC

Pay Your Dues

A young musician who played the blues
Was told he had to pay his dues
So he went to a synagogue with his pay
And thought that he could pay that way.

The rabbi said “you silly fool
What you’re doing isn’t cool
Instead of paying Jews
You’re supposed to pay your dues”.

The young musician was quite apologetic 
As the rabbi bordered on the apoplectic 
Never again will he make this mistake 
Or was it all just a piss-take?
