Short Could Do Better Poems

I Could Do Better

I could do better,
When I wrote one more letter;
Feelings would express.

current girlfriend problems
the dead one is far better 
than the live one
if it were'nt for lying lips
i think i could do better
but one of those lies 
just happen to be
i love you...

Politics are run by children who've never growed up
Cry for their Mommies if they don't get their sippy cup
Us common folk could do better
Than these bunch of bed-wetters
Time to start over with a brand new bunch of coconuts...

Politics are run by children who've never growed up
Still cry for their Mommies if they don't get their sippy cup
Us common folk could do better
Than these bunch of bed-wetters
Time to start over with a brand new bunch of coconuts...

A demonstration,
Of black and white,
Showing through as a beacon of light.
I have a dream, 
Four words
With a meaning so big,
Thats more difficult to understand than anything.
Forty-seven years have passed.
Really? are we this self-centered?
America as a whole, we could do better....

I am not supposed to eat hot peppers
So, what do I crave the most?
I know chili gives me heartburn.
It is my favorite food after hot peppers

Sweets have distorted my body into a costume I no longer recognize.
I reach for sugar most of the time.
And salt.
The other thing I am not supposed to have.

I know better.
I could do better.
But I do not want to, so I don’t....

When you lose a big, important game,
you feel like the world has turned on you,
like it is your fault,
you feel down,
and wonder why this had to happen,
were you ready?

Instead of thinking about what you did wrong,
and focusing on that it was your fault,
think about what YOU could do better,
how things could have turned around
And maybe, just maybe those things will come true....

I grab my pen
Black and used up
The glass cracked and fragile
Covered by the cap

Cheap and lost
Then given to me
I could do better
But that's not what I need

This pen is mine
Broken, yet precious
It writes sharp lines
That somehow form words

And that to me is insane
How something so ruined
Can still do so much
How a pen that's falling apart
Can still create art

Why can't I?...

A request by a poet to write
About a pic she sent me tonight
I don't know what it is
Give me a clue, gee whiz
If I write, will it turn out alright






Dane Ann kindly pinged a picture of a plant to write about.
To be honest I never had a Scooby Do what it was, hence my Limerick
I'll be getting detention, amd a note saying 'could do better'

"Anything i can do, you could do better!" 
I'm different.  I like my sushi well done.
"Sure you're right!...Who cares?"
I'm as wise as a potato chip.
Is it illegal to leave a night-light on in the day?
"If music be the food of love...I'm tone deaf."
So what? I guess my self-confidence made me inferior.
I hired an interior decorator for my refrigerator.
I spend my time figuring out how to spend my time!!

good day , Carol.......

He sometimes persuades me
There is a better way
To handle things
But in a dedicated way, not mean.

Always takes my side
Even against his mother
Used to be a mama’s boy
Now is my man.

Sometimes gently gives me hints
Maybe I could do better
Always right too
Saving me from my impulsiveness

Always has my back.
Against the world
Would stand in front of a tsunami for me
Is my hero

Is my dedicated man.
My husband.
The father of my babies
I would trade him for no one....
