Stuck In a Pond

Sharing loneliness
On a boat in a stale pond
We keep throwing rocks
To imitate the great seas
Too cowardly to explore

To be cowardly
While others live like warriors
Despite life’s hurdles
Is to die a thousand deaths!
But the brave die only once.

Courage has its place.
And the cowardly will flea.
But brave men save lives.

Kalee

Kind in a way that is cowardly
Akward towards others when meeting is not fleeting
Lone to everyone who is not a  mirror
Ever confusing 
Exclusive.

Premium Member Malefic Negligence

We take for-granted all of our sin,
But punish mistakes made by our own kin.
We cowardly save only our own skin,
Instead of ever unleashing the hero within.

Premium Member Goodbye Forever

Sometimes far away 
Is expressed with unique gaze
Telling emotions 
Cowardly kept by the fear
Leaving possibility

Premium Member better use pusillanimous

Cowardly did not describe Poindexter well
Better use pusillanimous said his cousin Nell
No one uses words like this, we argued with her
Poindexter was afraid of band-aids, nails, and rabbit fur.

Being Fair In Combat

I contend  be fair
                     Just as the sword that fought
                     the fair fight...
                     not as the cowardly knife
                     that cuts life without art...

Mr Coward

Run lady run
Till your out of earshot
From the bang from the bullet
Inscribed with your name
Set to maim
But no, not you
You are untouchable
With cold infused veins
Alone destined to die
To cowardly to even try.

Courage, The Cowardly Dog

           Courage, lives in The Middle Of Nowhere,
                "there's something wrong here" — 
               the dog eats pancakes at the table,
         a Bagge over monsters, lap full of love, his Muriel

Terrorized by self
Out of control thoughts
Hypervigilant

Worked into frenzy

Her Beauty

She is perfect 
She is devine,

My forever after
My reason in life

To smile bravely, 
And face my fears

To forget about the sad pain
I have so cowardly endured;

And pull me into her heart, 
For all eternity, forever.

My Dog Is a Teen Drank

My dog is a teen drank with;
air-filled verbal diarrhea
percussion tongue and lips
staggering chaser 
fierce and marking eyes
flowing river of saliva 
cocked arms for attack
cowardly legs for exit
This is this dog I love so much

Fear Is a Starved Lion

fear is a starved lion
daily feeding on hearts
of the cowardly men
but the meal so eaten
does not get finished
flesh continues to grow
bones crack, never split
blood does not overflow
but the cowardly men
die each day of the meal

Premium Member Cowardly Buffoon

He is a cowardly buffoon
Less cowboy than poltroon
Cringes in fear at the moon
Afraid of bubbly lagoon

Doesn’t make anyone swoon
Terrified of a small raccoon
Shrieks and hides from a blown-up balloon
A forever alone weird little goon
Form: Monorhyme

Bold

Bravely, Everlasting Love casts out cowardly anxiety
Oh, gives thanks to God Most High humbly and gratefully
Love life to the lamentable cheer in heart
Hope and jubilance is wisdom from the start - practice God’s Love in this world of confusion

The Holy See

The Holy See 

Pope Benedict
Hands in his purple dress 
Fed up and tired 
Wonder if God in heaven 
Has not gone and retired too




Prejudices
Who will stand up
And defend the Christians 
A vanishing group 
In the sea of intolerant Islam 
Cowardly is our silence

As Russians choose to wipe out lives -
Putin plays at god with a coward’s soul.

The Throne

Bloated, puffed up, without fear
His domination should be clear
He’s the boss within his crew
Who’ll approve of what he’ll do
And a victim he now needs
To suffer from his cowardly deeds
All his boys around his throne
Which crumbles down once he’s alone.

Premium Member Erasing Memories

Of its own volition
the brain erases time,
to rearrange events,
or change truth;

an embarrassing moment,
a misspoken word,
cowardly act,
wrong decision,
missed opportunity,
or lost love.

If you could call back time,
you'd become a sieve,
and filter out
all the pain.

Premium Member Skeptical Society Statement For Sure

Society is not only ignorant. It is generally cowardly. Society and it's foolish cronies generally preach justice, freedom, and equality and yet too often practice injustice, promote slavery, and stubbornly too often insist on inequality.Welcome to hell, but I would prefer heaven, thank you.

Time

TIME


On leaden feet.....on wings
She falls....she springs

Sleeps  when you enjoy
Laughs at you when pressed

Conscious time....unconscious time.
Against you.......on your side :

Running out in cowardly
Yellow  years  streaming by;

Or a boxer  with green seconds
Drip dripping  to the bell

Cowardly To Live Or Die

What does it feel like to die?

I see that bird flying there

It feels so free

But birds have hurt and pain too

I forget about other peoples hurt and pain too much

do I think about myself too much?

Is that the essence of my problem?

Am I a coward?

Is it cowardly to live or cowardly to die?
