And behold, I'm shocked.

Lying on the leather couch.

Make a snide remark.

Making nightly pray.

Whisper in your ear, "Be Mine"....

There once was a fellow who was a drudge
When something bad happened, he held a grudge
   It just ate him up inside
   His very navel was snide
Then everything changed ~ He discovered fudge...

snide remarks 
became the 
indirect undertone 
of all conversation 
bringing with it
it's underlined 
hidden insulting 
insinuations of 
lack of worth 
within this present 
incarnation...

great poetry and  truths revealed,
the cards you dealt will be revealed,
when judgement comes to ride,
no laughter for the snide,
bad cards reveal, bad truth...

snide terms fester in
beautiful words have vanished.
there'll be no more peace.
slice me to bits with a knife.
I can recall the first time.

contact with the other side, 
brings poetry from the sleepy bride, 
what was that she almost said, 
get up and write it down now Fred, 
is she a little bit snide:)

dread grips world
the failure snide zest
lambs are calm,
top to toe,
thinly veiled sorrow on times
Cackles are flimsy.

A psychic I guess, the eight-year-old replied without any sass.
His future career is no way something to cover or hide.
I did not remark, or add a comment in any way snide.
So glad he did not want to be a U-tuber like the rest of his class....

An Aberration

He is orange at the corner
And he’s looking at me.

He has a crooked grin - it is snide 
It is fearsome to see

More than a pumpkin he scares 
Moving nighttime creeping things.

I am afraid to pass him,
As a mean faced witch flies over me....

Swans swim side by side
Like loverz on Dizney ride
Sorry for the pride

Takin' risks for you
Feeling blue outta the blue
I haven't a clue

I cried...I collide
The rivers are wide...I hide...
Your comments are snide

Fakin' my bro love
I get love from up above...
What do I think of?...

Occasional snide words  
Often bruise small egos 
Once said cannot retract 
Or repair damage done  
Odd, this always works out 
Old hurts will hear me spout 
Oafs make this sad mistake!

There's a shark swimming in the soup
quietly circling and lurking
Hiding behind mean metaphors
and toothy snide similes

He's poised, ready to strike
and feast on the unwary
Ripping off the heads
of anyone muddying his waters

With passions past, the fever’s broken;
Phone’s unanswered, words unspoken;
Snide asides, accusing hisses-
The sentence served for stolen kisses.

Vinegar eyes from too much wine,
I took and loved what wasn’t mine
Her night late call: “Where have you been?”
The end of the affair’s the greater sin....

If you make a claim
they freely raise the annual fees
and then they confound the issue
with talk of  a depressed market
and  rampant  inflation
I wanted to change horses
but realised the claim we had made
would make our insured sum more expensive
I felt their snide behaviour
There was an elephant in the room...

 Ole kero fridge went om om om, 
like the Hari Krishna chanting chums, 
a portal opened in the room, 
3rd eye of a child in tune, 
at 4 i saw 40 grey of dead,
 boogyman.
Don
The grey bastards filled my room,
I'm insane you'll assume,
watch them Kero fridges snide....

You should watch how you treat me
Or you will end up in a poem - believe me
I heard every snide thing you said
I saw every shake of your head
Your body language told more than you wanted said
The senses of a writer are well tuned
Easily spotting the buffoon
So take back what you said
Or you will be reading with dread
Your behavior of this afternoon...

I’m thinking we’re on a downhill slide
With self-aggrandizing politicians now,
Bloviating so self-assured and snide
Paying no attention to their campaign vow.
With an eye on their big monied donors,
They think little of their constituencies
Sometimes I think they are really stoners,
And need more prayer time on their knees.

A little less laughter in the world,
A little more reminiscing;
For that will be the way it goes
With Robin Williams missing.

A lot more tributes yet to come,
A lot of clips to show;
For folks just can't believe
That it was Robin's time to go.

A little less laughter in the world,
A lot more snide asides;
Alas, beneath the comic's mask,
Depression often hides....

Bones of rotting timbre mimic 
morgues of truth
Pleading memories of oaths to rigor 
mortised youth
Snide sacrosanct hides under 
shrouds of pride
placing careful snares under 
gleaming stares
These selective few
they ingratiate you...
Even the doubtful  few
These ephemeral ghosts clapping at 
unspoken jokes
Wheezing from their throats to 
laugh as they choke....

Let the sun meet the moon
and the dusk embrace the dawn;
let parallels form a plain
a bridge to unite East and West.

Let language be no curse 
and distance be no barrier;
let earthly divides cease to be 
like ashes scattered to the wind.

Across the Niger I found my bride
let no tongue wag or snide;
love transcends language or tribe
and I return a fulfilled soul!...
