to resist the positive...
The optimist insists 
to dismiss the negative....

Like expecting a kiss, but
Getting slapped instead

When autumn comes
is winter far away?
Every silver lining
has a cloud.
This is the best of all possible worlds.
So says the optimist,
so says the pessimist too....

Optimist? Pessimist? 
Recognizing the glass as half-cracked 
Often explains the level of its contents.
Freedom is being satisfied
With the terms of one’s confinement....

There's a chance of hail in the forecast today
The size of baseballs, oh well come what may
Never a pessimist
Always an optimist
Have a blast throwing them at your mate...

The pessimist argued that all women are whores,
He spoke with a tear, with a unconcealed pain.
The optimist listen to him  with a hidden fain,
He rubbed his hands with a wish  to explore!...

Never a borrower nor a lender be
That is my simple philosophy
But if the need you can’t resist
Borrow money from a pessimist
A positive attitude they sadly lack
So they don’t really expect it back...

My wife is an optimist
Which is why, she stays up
On New Years Eve
To see in the new one

I am by nature a pessimist
Which means, that I stay up
On New Years Eve
To make sure the old one has gone...

Are you a member of the Army of Optimists
You should check it out, sure beats being a pessimist
The sun always shines
Drinking fine wine
Life's what you make it... you could choose to be a microbiologist...

How many classify yourselves as optimists
If you answered in the negative, then you're a pessimist
Think only of good things
Your heart will then sing
And you'll find you'll have no need for a cardiologist...

Optimist: “Look! It’s half full.”
Pessimist: “No! Half empty!”
Realist: “Such debates are
fruitless. Let’s all just share the water.”

How many of you classify yourself as a true optimist
If you answer in the negative, you must be a pessimist
Think only of good things
You heart will surely sing
And you'll find you'll have no need for a cardiologist...

Optimist
          Hopeful, joyful, enthusiastic
          Fulfilling, exciting, thriving,
       Mentor, leader, enemy, naysayer
         Anger, sadness, depression
   Draining, energy-stealing, exhausting
                      Pessimist...

Let's see. It's someone who
on a successful day,
frets over a second of failure or two.
A pessimist, others may say.

pessimism
Due to the forecast, foreboding fellas have cancelled the parade.
Despite the weather, bring umbrellas, join us as we promenade.

No way!
am I a
pessimist,
a realist,is what
I say-
I am
not an ass,
donkey maybe
definitely,male not
a lass-
I talk
very slow,
but this I know
fresh sweet carrots help my
words flow-
slowly
one by one,
this pleasing drawl
holds all my many fans,
in thrall

“He Gave As Good As He Got”
Miracle Man
2/13/2024

On occasion,
He confessed, he had been bested.

But never,
did he feel like he was a bruiser.

He’s an optimist, 
and thinks his opponent just got "lucky".

Only a pessimist,
would view himself as a loser.

All the hemogoblins in you body,
Wont be enough to teach you to love somebody.
If you are too caught up with yourself,
You will never see the worth of somebody else.

To be happy is to not be selfish.
To feel happy is to not be a pessimist.
I cant help a man who sleeps,
While everybody else plant their seeds...

Don't be a burden
but a blessing.
Don't be a complainer
but a changer.
Don't be a pessimist
be an optimist.
Don't be a quitter
be a sticker.
Don't be a sitter
be a doer.
Don't become complacent
and wait for things to happen,
cause them to happen.
Don't be part of the problem
be the solution.
Make Jesus proud....

Listen to poem:

how dare they try to pawn off
their ugliness on me
cast to the winds
without a care
their dark assumptions
and vile opinions
hypocrites and villains
often in sheep’s clothing

I close the door on
all that’s gloom and doom
sarcastic and destructive

how dare they rain
on my parade
