Short Curve Ball Poems

she's 
throwing
kisses at me

the
first was
a fast ball

the
second
a slider

the 
worst was
a curve ball

strike
three not
even first base...

Not yet able to mask
The truth that lies
Inside 
Not yet able to hide
The abnormalcy that
Is pent up inside
The maladaptive mind's eye
Over time this will be achieved
It wouldn't happen over night
Its a learning process with a curve ball...

Subsequently designed by decision, your choice is what you have to choose. 

Think clear, be thorough and act like the wise person you were born to be. 

Mistakes are gathered by the curve ball life throws at you. 

Learning from life by the experience gained, creates the person whom you have become today....

Frustration over takes my very being
Fills my heart with such rage 
Can't stop the negativity from washing over my mind
Why is life throwing me such a curve ball
Feel helpless to stop this from happening
What am I too do now
Where am I to turn too now
Must trust in god above 
To work all things out for 
The betterment of my life...

A curve ball on laced marijuana 

Asked mushroom clouds for instant Nirvana

Fainted in magic pursuit

Grew quite square straight on the root

Came down from constellation Tucana 



30th August 2020

Tucana is a large faint constellation in the southern 

hemisphere containing most of the Small Magellanic Cloud

If life is like a box of chocolates,
is it rude to ask for candy?
Can you really say with certainty
that you even understand me?

When life hands you lemons
I think you'd better run.
Cause life can throw a curve ball
and hit you just for fun.

I can do without the chocolates
You can keep your lemons too. 
Life is what you make of it
not what it makes of you....

When the game of life, 
throws that,
lemony curve ball;
you have no choice
but to stop and make…
lemonade.

Everyone’s been there,
at some point.
No degree or miracle
will cure all ills;
it takes a clever and hopeful outlook;
to stir the sour liquid.
A little time spent in
exploration and positive thought;
will produce a much,
sweeter drink.

Smile for the camera
You are about to take the picture
Which one?
The outstanding one
So I decided to smile,

This is just an eye opener
Open those eyes 
This is just a curve ball
Bend with it
This is just a one way path
Formulate those sequences
You are about to finish that sentence,

Smile for the audiences 
You are about to show them
What?
The truth
So I decided to acknowledge myself....

Dare I tell it to you straight

confront your social gait 

battle on the field

just to delineate

words and circles that you mate

can’t remember when it’s late

all I ask is something pure

but you’re too busy on the slate

victim--throw a curve ball bait

but it’s ok

 I’ll wait

I never rush homeplate

yeah it’s a tipsy kind of fate

like a shot 

Dare I ask you for it straight...

I speak jabberwocky for fun,
on occasion making up a silly word,
something strange and never heard .

A way to step into a make-believe world,
keeping secret codes within my mind,
they are a challenge to look up and find.

Throwing a curve ball to all readers
as Lewis Carroll wrote in his poem,
words covered with meaningless foam.

A spray of mysticism and delight,
paving the way to an unreal world
where language is tossed and  sworld....

The engine blew up in my car.
Leaving me stranded looking at the stars. 
Not quite sure what to do 
I have to go to school. 
School has kicked me hard this time. 
Hopefully I don't fall behind. 
So much homework and no time 
Kids are helping me to lose my mind. 
they will not listen and think they rule the world.
Where the hell did I go wrong. 
Well this is life on my side of town.
Just waiting for my stars to align
As I tackle the world one more time....
