Betty

Betty was not very tall
Her shoes seem to be small
She walked with a limp
Mistaken for a gimp
Or an excess of alcohol

In a soft gaze upon the moon

Within divine love so true

How Christopher Columbus
Discovered America, isn't clear.
If I'm not mistaken, the natives
Already knew it was here.

Dark Mistake

He dressed as a jack-o-lantern
costumed in uncommon pattern
	strode through the park
	though it was dark
and was mistaken for slattern

Spilling Thoughts

Spilling thoughts on white paper
seemed so easy but just mistaken
Painting words with craft unshaken
takes time like building a skyscraper.

Poetry In Notion

Expressions and thoughts
Feebleness and weak
Gifts of never-ending words 
Honor and reward is what we seek

Why is poetry a mistaken talent?

Phobos and Deimos

Phobos and Deimos took a walk.
They stumbled upon a big moon rock.
A bit misshapen.
If not mistaken,
They told Mars, but he was not in shock.

Dilemma

More than offered
Too long pondered
Sitting smiling
Happy yet somber
Risky relations
Offered not taken
Unconscious unbroken
Maybe mistaken

Matters of Opinion

Truth of the matter 
Is truth does not matter

Mistaken for reason 
It’s humanity’s treason 

Belief is a thief
That reaps only grief

A Symphony of Pain

Heart piercing violin
dull sounds of a piano
vibrating your voice 
through my soul
an impulse not
mistaken to be 
the drums of my heart
... running

Would Rather Take You Back

I would much rather regret how all along I was mistaken
Than ever forget about you or leave you forsaken.
I much rather make you feel so taken by me again.

Untitled #315 / What Use Is There In Distinguishing

What use is there in distinguishing
between perfection and greatness,
between the mistaken and the evil,
between death and life,
between illusion and love

Mistaken Identity

A bad crime has landed me in jail,
I also told the judge "Go to hell,"
for while serving the time
I did not do the crime...
Honest! It was my twin brother Sal.

Mistaken Identity

There was an eel on the ocean floor,
Sammy his name, he knew the score.
His friends said, he was smart,
Then upon a dinner cart,
He said, Hey, I am not an albacore.

VICE PRESIDENT

A vice president can’t
Over-ride a president’s choice
Because the president has
The final say-so on everything
If I’m not mistaken, so
How can they be at fault

Grey Haired Old Man

There once came a grey haired old man.
Or am I mistaken was it rather a ma'am?
Nevertheless he big brought gifts
And climbed big cliffs
To deliver them to his little fans.

Magic Sunglasses

I have sunglasses that let you see
Only the things that you want to see!
"You're mistaken," you say, 
"They're just regular shades!"
And I say, "That's my point precisely!"

It Is a Nickname

What is mistaken so is
dire self-aggrandizement
by ambitious fellows
re-baptized by citizens
hijacked by opportunists
as true love for a nation
It is a nickname, a vanity

Men and Women: Getting To Know Each Other Kh

Different we are
Blondes are mistaken 
for bimbos
Some men like bimbos
Women are feisty
Men also like feisty
Women with *****
But in the end
Men and women like
The Chase
