Today I saw an open view
A vision clear of life anew
A path of love and kindness true
Today I'm green instead of blue.
Do you have excessive pride?
Sounds to me like suicide!
Humble yourself under God again
Instead of losing you can win!
Form:
For strength and wisdom
To meet my best destiny
Instead of mercy,
I know what I've gotta do
It's up to me to stay true
'Twas detected in Matt Nagy
a spine that is saggy
Instead of 'steadfast resolve'
x-ray showed 'instant dissolve'
instead of just viewing
ingest the words proudly
taste them all -- chewing
when you read aloud-ly
Carl Edward Sagan
who thought he was a pagan
instead of hanging out in bars
he learned to study stars
Day Dreamer
She sits in the chair
looking out the window
but she is daydreaming
instead of seeing what is actually there
Ex stalking is never good idea,
Resilient equilibrium.
Hang in Dahab, make Hajj to Medina
Instead of a course of Librium.
Don't despair; God is here
Instead of moaning let us cheer!
Ho who conquers everything
And to death - where is the sting?
Dragons for their keel
Rowing oars instead of wheels
Their ships rock and reel

my name
is something nicer
than what I actually
am
call me the pleasant
words
instead of calling me
out on my reality.
in one's search for enlightenment, they often look out instead of~in

sliding my
hand down
and under
my loose
belt i felt
OWWWW
instead of
OHHHHH
cold hands
don't make
for a good
lover
Form:
Listens when it is not time to speak
Open to trust and caring gestures
Vivacious instead of desicated
Everlasting, neverending
Is tapping in to that youthful energy
Instead of pretending you still have it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Experience is worth a whole lot.
I wish I could be gay man neat and tidy,
instead of straight man disorganized and sloppy.
- Was the above incorrect politically?
An alien from outer space
Had eyeballs all over the place
He had a big ear
Growing out of his rear
And a bottom instead of a face
The Gods above are
playing a vicious trick by
only giving me
big sips to drink from
Mnemosyne instead of
few drops of Lethe.
Instead of dwelling in hate...
or craving any revenge...
I'd rather just live my life and accept
The past, Present and the future ahead
a telephone pole --
partial remains of a tree
now wearing wires
instead of leaves -- stands tall.
its splinters decry its new woods.
Is there floetry in this poetry?
I'm asking you, instead of me.
Tho, I am the host,
I still want your post!

The mantra of the government
(though I'm sure it's nothing new) is:
Take heed to
what I'm saying
instead of
what I actually do.
"Independence.”
In dependence,
You rely on another’s
Hand to help you up
Instead of just
Using your own feet.
-t.j.t.
inside mother's house
overflowing mounds of trash
no empty space left
to fill with love
instead of stuff
5/14/13
for Russell's contest
Somewhere in the depths of despair
I saw a bare bum in the air
But how could they choose
To win or to lose
Instead of deciding to share?
