Both Ways

Stricken with blame,
enamored by praise

My words caught between
—to travel both ways

Both Are Needed

Big stones create strength,
little ones add stability.

Both are needed
for a wall to be structurally sound.

Much like life.

Both Ways

Stricken with blame,
  enamored by praise

My words caught between,
 —and travel both ways

And We Both Know Hearts Can Change

November will cry,
Leaves will fall like sloppy tears.
The loss of a rose.
Yet there are more awaiting,
Crumbling in that dark garden.

Had Both Her Knees Replaced

She had both her knees replaced,
And problems we forever faced;
Shoes tennis,
Real menace;
Hard for long shoes to be laced.

They were unsure exactly when it happened…
Does anyone ever really know?
The day they stopped loving each other…
The day they both
let go.

People gather in the crimson heat
For summer adventures when they meet.
Their chaos release,
But I like my peace
Writing in my poetry book - sweet!

a matter of cool
when tempest is but a breeze
and tides ebb and flow…
till unsolicited mood
tempest and tides unhinged grow.

Hold high the spirit of the friend.

Still Raining Inside Both Our Hearts

Yes, we both made
Some mistakes 
but
A true love 
shall
Give and take
with
Words pouring out
From 
these weary clouds
still
Raining inside
both
Our hearts

Red Cheeks. ( Both Sets.)

After tossing back too many shots,
My tummy got tied up in knots.
But the outhouse fell down,
now a king with no crown,
I cover up where I must: "Thank You Scotts'!"

Premium Member Both Feet On the Ground

The world is not in pause; 
It turns round and round,
Our feet on the ground.
A spinning top,
It doesn't wobble and stop, 
A gifted miracle we don't fly off.

Premium Member Both Feet Are Happy

My foot is happy. I know by her wiggle.
She hops in the lazy chair, making me giggle.
Hungry is my tummy.
Gums are feeling crumby.
Both feet dancing now, causing me to jiggle.

Friends Forever We Both Will Be

Friends Forever We Both Will Be

Friends forever we both will be,
And God every day us does see;
A message sends,
Do be best friends;
From all sins is setting us free.

God Is Both Deep and Broad

God Is Both Deep and Broad

He has been both deep and broad,
Which is depth and breadth of God,
Height and length,
Of great strength,
Who forever we will love and laud.

Blessings and Curse Both In One

Tiresias- the man and woman
was cursed by the matting serpents clan,
Passionate Hera
built his blind era,
Zeus blessed him prophecy with no fan!

Service Both Nervious and Impervious

Service Both Nervious and Impervious

What we found about Trump's service;
Knowledge of it has made us nervous;
On edge,
Near ledge;
Completely recalcitrant and impervious.

Between Both My Eyes

Between Both My Eyes

What does appear between both my eyes,
Is my mind that always makes me realize,
While thinking,
Eyes blinking;
Best conclusion arrived at is compromise.
