Rap Battle For Kindness

Your words rhyme 
They're slow in time 
You know how to bust a rap

I wasn't referring to that
I mean what art you truly have
which makes others really glad?

EUPHEMISM

Euphemism’s a useful device

Is a favourite of mine.
I’m sure you don’t need telling twice

He Had Mistook Her

He Had Mistook Her

He had mistook her
Appeared to be a hooker;
Not a good looker.

Now who could that
possibly be that I am 
referring to? Name That
Name should be the start
of a new show.

Not What You'Re Thinking

Men do it standing up, 
women sitting down.
Dogs need to raise one leg,
this is what I've found!

I know just what you're thinking,
so just to let you understand,
all that I'm referring to,
is simply "shaking hands"!

Finally a Poet Crowing

At what point exactly ?

Is one entitled to call oneself a poet ?

Is it when you think you have written something noteworthy of consequent ?

Or a critic adversary or peer referring
to a work by name not with disdain ?

Premium Member I WAS ADMISDST THE GARDEN

I WAS ADMISDST THE GARDEN
It was heaven
Referring on early earth
Eden
Shape of things emerging
Free will choice desiring, engaging
I stood midst the flowers
In the field working

Plato On Shamen

Plato said in Phaedrus that the first 
prophecies were the words of oaks. 
Those that lived at that time found 
it rewarding enough
to listen to oaks 
or stones, so long
as they would
tell the 
truth!



Plato was referring to shamen in general, I imagine.

Union....

It's a New York style I'm not used to
It's one I normally run and hide from
I'm not used to the attention
I'm normally the one fading away to nothing
I freak not knowing what to do
My words get away from me
All I was referring to was the New York style
And I was only telling ONE that understands
Now only time will tell

Entering the Perfect Partner

Let´s meet the happy-go-lucky man;
full-blooded,
neither craven nor valiant,
taking life as it comes with a touch of indifferent air,
good-humored, easy-going,
careless and not jealous.
Just It wouldn´t be bad to beam him a bit of mundane grandeur to be a perfect partner.

If it was not because...
We are actually referring  to a dummy

I Need Time To Heal

Tell me why, but tell me True-
Spare me the heartbreak of a Lie
I would lay forever in these meadows...
Forever, until I die!
To rid myself of all the Pain,
And the Sorrows of what I feel
To ease my Mind, my worried Brain
(Lord! The Cuts! I need to heal)

*Referring to my problems with "Borderline Personality Disorder"; many of us are "cutters"
