Short More Likely To Poems

Donald Trump
is now most concerned he's been had for a chump
don't lead too soon they say
else most of the rednecks are more likely to stay away....

30 Days' in perdition
        Is worth
Five minutes' with
        The Lord
           -Fore-
Irrelevance and eternity
          Is 5 Times'
   More likely to be
              -A-
       End Result
   When you council
         Is with the
             Lord

I'm sorry I'm not sorry,
nor drowning with regret;
you're not my worry, you see this surely!
I'm more likely to forget
the significance of your insignificance,
like a shark would mind a flea;
or a raindrop to a mountain top
that fell haphazardly.

If you want to succeed, go to college and get a degree.
Study hard and make good grades, that is the key.
Nothing spells success like a good education.
You can be a doctor or President of a corporation.
If you want to be a success, an education is what you'll need.
A person who is educated will be far more likely to succeed....

Dream big
How can you dream big..When your not aloud to dream at all.
Every dream you have in the end someone else decides if you can even dream it.
Dreams turn into thoughts and wonders of what could have been.
Disappointment and rejection is more likely to happen then a dream come true.
Happiness and love is fairy tale make believe.
Disappointment and hurt is everyday life....

"If you put a really small value upon yourself, rest assured that the world will not raise your price." --Anonymous

Hard to be a humble soul
In a world of silver and gold

Some rather tweet than to speak
Others prefer cookie cutters than unique 

Self esteem is like a boat's sail
Without it more likely to fail

It’s ok to ride tides pride
Yet still stay humble on inside...

Would you like to see the prettiest spider in the whole world?
I said “No!” over and over.
Finally agreeing, because my week had been boring.
The spider was more beautiful than expected.
I took photographs of it.
It was a gorgeous combination of yellows, navy, pinks and turquoise.
I ended up winning a prize for these photographs.
Now I am more likely to say “yes" the first time....

there is a tree in the forest
targeted by lightning in a storm
ten times more likely to get hit
than any other tree

because lightning has a “type”
like men have a “type”
she goes after an oak
six times more often than any other tree

no one knows why
because they have forgotten that lightning is a woman
who wants to destroy the sturdy and the strong
she wants to take down a man...

Loud, rowdy, coarse,
a bit rough around the edges,
more likely to say “Shut Up!”
than “Quiet Please.”

Jeans, well worn,
faded by harsh winds,
and searing sun.
face to match.

The “gods?”
diabolical match makers.

Soft spoken, silky smooth,
edges buffed,
hushed a room
on entering.

Tailored,
off the rack,
draped on artistic
magnificence,
smiling……that…
smile.

What Kinds of Poems do People with Bi-Polar Disorder Write?
What kind of poems do people with bi-polar disorder write?
Are they up and down? Down and up? Down, down, down, down, DOWN.
Then up, up, up, up, up UP?

Are they more likely to write poetry on a manic-filled day
or a day of gloom and doom? They get depressed, don’t they?
It is something I think of sometimes.

But I do not dwell on it.
It is not something I lose sleep over.
I have other things that help me with that....
