Short Omit Poems

There's a lot of people that just don't get it
Feel they're owed a living, other factors they omit
They fail to see
What life really means
It's a twenty-four-hour full-time commit...

Tones of depreciation eject forth estuaries of spittle
Causing unsought billows of panic
Why can’t society be more appreciative
Instead of dejecting them
And divesting them of criticism
Communication is significant
Yet people omit it’s qualities...

We stutter, lisp and clutter
We are not vocal – mute…

We can be choppy, mumble words
Impaired rhythm, be automatic…

Distort our sounds, substitute, omit
Or string together made-up words…

And all impediments forgiven
But God forbid – to tell the Truth!...

Without your permission,
   I will come into your life and omit traces of my most modest essence.
Then without warning,
   I will withdraw myself from your domain,
     leaving you to obsess over my unorthodox disposition that has been unraveling since  
      first introduction...

The Christmas tree was brightly lit
 But the star on top someone forgot
 But that's not all they did omit
 St Nick must have been in on the plot
 Because, zilch, that is what I got

(Before Spellcheck)

After arguing fouls or fowls
Some Hebrew scribes throw in their towels
The Hebrew God growls,
"Forget the damn vowels!*
You'll know if you're right in your bowels!"

*Hebrew scribes omit vowels 
so scholars can argue whether
HLV=HALAV or HELEV, etc....

Spring Was Delayed
by Michael R. Burch 

Winter came early:
the driving snows,
the delicate frosts
that crystallize

all we forget
or refuse to know,
all we regret
that makes us wise.

Spring was delayed:
the nubile rose,
the tentative sun,
the wind’s soft sighs,

all we omit
or refuse to show,
whatever we shield
behind guarded eyes.

Time,
Not matter how long
Or how many centuries 
would not change you,
Your voice, eyes and touch 
Will ring the bells of dead and buried tales,
Your aura, an enigma, would omit and shine
The love I knew was always mine. 
Nostalgia swims around my head
Until the moon pales and I 
Return to bed.
I cast a spell within my dreams 
A manifestation of you 
Weaving together our endless seams

"s.o.s."
by:  Eric L. Boddie

Sin only shuns
Satan owns society
Stress owns success
Success offers selfishness
Selfishness outshines sight
Sight outweighs spite
Something overwhelms solidarity
Serenity only succeeds
Streaks only sustain
Simplify our situations
Sheep only sleep
Stand only strong
Sacrifice outweighs sovereignty
Supplies omit savoring
Semantics over syntax
Salvation obtains survival...

I'll runaway.
I'm going to run from you.
I'll face that day,
With a whole new view.

You were never there!
Be quiet for a second.
Don't act like you care!
You never even checked-in.

Don't try to fix it,
Your apology doesn't matter.
I'll just omit,
But not to flatter.

You don't get a second chance.
In your direction, 
I won't even glace.
I'm done with this connection.

Wait...

I’m blown away by my ability to feel
It rattles my core.  It’s raw and real
But then there are days, without even trying
I’m numb on the inside.  My empathy, dying
Often times, I’m clever, unparalleled wit
Then others, I’m blank, I simply forget
Unwillingly, it seems, I omit basic skills
Left sweating and fretting and spinning my wheels
I’m up or down.  Either proud or ashamed
One day to the next, I’m never the same...

Words on a wall
As one by one they fall
Soon to hit the ground
And a new lesson found

As we write again
Becoming women and men
Again they come crashing down
And our smile turns to a frown

But we don’t quit
We don’t let them omit
We put new words on the wall
Hurriedly trying to learn them all

So next time we will be ready
Able to keep emotion steady
As there goes one more
Crashing down on the littered floor...

My being is a mirror of the cold.
Flows through me, like wind and mold.
Flakes that can fly, bite, and hold.
The beauty of clear winter evenings unfolded.
Snowfall is enhanced by the trees exposed. 
When lakes freeze, the kids shift to rink mode.
We omit each item from the scold.
However, we do not know what winter will hold.
This is the real springtime prize foretold

Men on the whole are wonderful BUT
When they omit to put the loo seat down
Again and again I find that it’s up
Then I end up with a massive frown!

My need is to sit when I use the loo  -
Comply with my wishes that’s all I ask
Deny it was you – it drives me so mad
Why can’t men complete an easy task!

Softly night music 
Soothing the mind and body  
Smoothing the heart beat  

Calls back the old time 
Along the motley life lane 
Flowers and thornbushes

Few petals flower
Of the seasons and spaces
Heartened to move on

Stoop to cherish 
Some on tiptoe to adore
Diversified scents

Soft music recalls
Flower’s color, shape and scent
Omit all thornbushes

In this onetime life  
Just sole soft sound energizes 
Along humble lane...

Absorb the warmth
The boobs are there to be admired
As they show the nakedness of a woman 
As you explore the uniqueness of yourself
Do not be ashamed on how you are created
Bubbly as you are
Oops,did I say that,did I?
Cultivate the love within
The ingredient is there to be fertilized
As you explore your inner strengths 
Do not omit some of the factors 
Instead bend with
Bubbly as you become
You are a woman created to perform a man's work....

The goal does not change
Because of the circumstances
The mission does not alter
Because of the sequence
And I could not have said it better myself

Could not have believe it
If someone had told me
Seeing it lead me to believe
It was true
And the words could not come out

The journey does not omit certain places
Because of the navigator
The music does not stop playing
Because of the shuffle of the songs
And those are the norms of the days to come...

Morning Dew An Acrostic-

Marginal misses shoot moist.
Operatic airs announced mist.
Red sprinkles scatter clear blue.
Native airs convey moist.
Involuntary omissions omit mist less.
Near misses relish true mist.
Greater increases enhance light wetness.

Damp bangs pull damp.
Enormous clouds darken chance.
White sprinkles moisten true.

Blue and white language fills the sky
Bringing messages, as to why
We are here to observe it all
God’s creation brings us a call
To look, listen, believe reason
For your existence, each season
The mountains do stand still
Waiting to see your inner will
Will you pay attention to it?
Will you follow or just omit?
The water with destination,
Leads to the ocean’s destination
Free will, always gives you a choice
To ignore it or to rejoice!

The Importance of Proofreading

By Elton Camp

Many posts that I read
This firm caution need

To write and slap it online
Most often isn’t very fine

For it to be received well
Show that we can spell

Pretentious words eschew
When easier ones will do

Lest the readers have a fit
No words dare we omit

We also need to expect
Errors from auto correct 

Here’s yet another helpful hint
We can “see” what we meant

My work, as an example, take
For I never make a misteak...

Why do we omit to reflect
On the need to genuflect 
To God waiting for it in His Altar
To be moved to mercifully alter
What in life makes us falter …

The Often Out-Of-Order
We wouldn’t want to go further
In the nature of a triumphing defect
With its concomitant effect; 
As bad as balls that deflect 
Or words A Grammarian didn’t inflect …

Ample reasons we have to be sad, 
When we keep losing but aren’t mad
Or keep spending hard-to-stay wad 
And telling people we once it had....
