Nothing out of place
Just playful late summer breeze
A gentle warning...
For children often forget
That Mother has a temper

I Yearn To Go

Lord, where
are you going
things are
out of place
are you 
testing
my faith
i yearn
to go but
not this far
to leave
me now

Today

like a boat parked in a garage
or a kite lost in space
I feel different today,
both captive and free,
but definitely out of place.

Moments

If you bother yourself
and feel out of place
give it some time
and you'll hear the leaves
fall off trees,
we all have our moments.

Nelly the Calm Owl

All the wild critters run a race
But Nelly maintains a calm pace
So calm in her ways
Her actions display
No feathers ever ruffled out of place!

Olympic Meddle

A skater with a beautiful face
Wore panties trimmed with delicate lace
The judges swore
They did not score
For the lace being quite out of place!

Premium Member They Always

They always threw my love at my face.
They always find someone new to replace.
They always left me alone to retrace.
They always made me feel out of place.

Two Dinosaurs stand face to face
But something is so out of place
A starry night in the sky
But it's a starfish I spy
Oh! that line of cocaine that I chased

Grammar OCD

I’ve got a thing about spelling
I'm not averse to showing or telling
But an apostrophe out of place
Is just a disgrace
And it always ends up with me yelling

Our world has such a gloomy face
Everything has got out of place
Nothing is as it was before

So God can make it pay for this viral sin

Premium Member Lived My Whole Life Trying To Fit In

I am done with the modern age's version of the rat race.
I'm done forcing myself to fit in just to feel so out of place.
I am choosing to live life at my own specific pace.

Teardrops

“ TEARDROPS “

 A TEARDROP SHINES LIKE A DIAMOND RING
 BUT NO SMILES OR GLORY WILL IT BRING  
 LIKE AN UNWANTED GUEST FEELS OUT OF PLACE 
 AS EMOTION PAINTS A WAITING FACE

Premium Member An Ode to my Beard

I kinda suspect that this will sound weird,
but my favored body part is my beard!
My salt-and-pepper face
never looks out of place!
It's been twenty years since it premiered!

Do You Ever Feel Like

do you ever feel like you
do not belong that your out of place
like you have no meaning where you are
like no one understands you
and no one wants to try to understand you
welcome to my life

Premium Member Out of Place

As Autumn days grow cold, frost gilds green pathways gold. A thing once swung with grace, a swing: seems out of place. This summer-only toy; looks lonely: stripped of joy.

Worn Thin Again

Worn Thin Again

Out each crow seemed to constantly thin,
And the next crowd even had done it again;
Felt out of place,
And fell on face;
After everybody had forgotten to blend in.

August Storm

Summer thunder shatters sky,
Wet replaces dry,
Unexpected torrents blot
Out the humid hot.

Is the rain but Nature’s brief
Gift for our relief?
Or a random, out-of-place
Waterfall from space?

Premium Member Wordplay

figures
     of speech
cliched
sterile
out of place
retrospective
        maxims:
a repertoire
of snippets,
a collage
of the impermanent
in a 
    play filled
assemblage...
     ....inscribed

No Other Beast

No other beast, intruding
But is with gun, protruding
Down a slant of light's
Treed funnelling through.

Man, seen as. Man, imagine!
More out of place to define
Non-native killer;
A world, foreign to!
Form: Rhyme

Outcast

Well made but out of place
You sit there quietly
Never fulfilling your function
Though I see the window
Of purpose rests upon you
I question myself and reach
For you're a replacement
Who is the mug now?

At Trump Took a New Look

At Trump Took A New Look

At Trump took new look which was fresh;
We found an anti-Christ right in the flesh;
Saw horrible face;
Looked out of place;
With minds of mental cases his will mesh.

One Continues To Fail

One continues to fail 
When you do not prepare 
Things are out of place 
You need to be more aware 
Read and study always 
In order to do better 
Or else, you will have loads of trouble 
There will be a colossal disaster

Premium Member Back In Time

Back in time!
   Back in time!
With blackberry wine…
and don’t tell grandpa…

Just a sip,
   a sip of the warm embrace...
Just you and me

Before time did race
and you dear, sweet Grandma...
fell out of place.
