Short Cross Out Poems

Aureate, curls on my bed,
On a bleak morning, cross out
"Day ten" - eighty days left…...

New
Life,
Easter
Forgiveness
Sins as scarlett
Washed me clean, cross out my sins
Release the hold of the evil one in life....

I still write with pencils-- 
and have learned not to erase; just to lightly cross-out, 
saving my edits for another frame of mind. 
Life is not only forward but sometimes back...
like old friends and people who helped me 
to the next rung on my ladder. 
My first love....

Everyday I fill the  ink of my pen with thoughts
I  placing the pen on the paper,
I write the words on the line,
Verbs and Nouns express the mind,
But some reason its just not quite right,
Sometimes its for the spellings,
others for the sound,
But most the time its the thought itself, I cross out.
Starting all over again, A poet with an invisible pen!...

some words shouldn't be said
like wishing someone dead
and all those words of hate
will make hate inflate 
there's too much anger
for this head banger
back when Quiet Riot was big
I was partying like a pig
never mind using your fist
cross out fighting from the list
hand shakes and greetings
at twelve steps meeting
it cleared my head some
and gave me freedom...

My computer's my friend
  more so than my pen
With lightning-fast fingers
  thoughts needn't linger

I can change my mind
  with the tap of a key
No need to erase or cross-out
  and that's fine with me

Some long for the days
  of paper and pen
Bobbies on bicycles
  the chimes of Big Ben

So let them long ~
  I'll type my song
to silky-smooth speed
  not written but keyed...

If I knew what I wanted
I  would go for it
I’d make plans
I would go to the shop and buy lots of different coloured pens
I would make lists on lined paper?
 I would write my name clearly and underline it, twice!
 I might even put the date on the corner?
 I would look at it and cross out some things?
 I would think about bullet points?
And when I typed it up I would choose an awesome font?

If I knew what I wanted?...

Cross out
Erase
Start over.
Ideas just wont flow,
The pen just wont write.
Correction won't write.
New paper,
New pen,
Damn this wind
Close that window!
Where was I?
A million thoughts
And not one makes sense.
Where is my Thesaurus?
What the hell rhymes with time?
Lime
Dime
Mime,
Forget time!
Hell of a headache,
I need an aspirin.
Make that a shot,
Or two,
Or three
Where was I?
Cross out
Erase
Start over...

And let your hands slide on the paper, 
and sometimes forget a grammar or points on the end of sentences.
It helps you to let out your thoughts.
To let out your words.

Yeah they don't know of who I am talking about, 
But the people who I have meant, 
Do read me like their favorite videos of pewdiepie, 
They will see and know.

Will I cross out words with a Red pen then?
Or write with strength?
To make the paper, 
rip off by itself?...
