Time To Step Down

the job is odd
you did your best
now its time to rest
and step
down not be a clown
its get your feet on the
ground 
TIME TO STEP DOWN

Vitriol

The chalice you drink from
is leaden with spite 
and the poison is eating you up 

Step down from your throne
where you languish alone
and sup from a healthier cup

Flawless Finish

She does not dare step down from her chair
She does not dare to take such a chance, a beautiful victim of circumstance
She dreams the day she has the chance to take a stance
Rise up and dance

Took Away Crown Trump Wore

Took Away Crown Trump Wore

Trump was President while wearing crown;
Not only that he was an incredible clown
Hard to reach;
Should impeach;
From precipice wish he would step down.

Words From Purgatory

A step down the downright cone. 
Praying a peace tends the toans.
At the creaking arch of every boan, 
a higher pitch, take the tones.
Tones taking a piece for peace.
Screaming, 'walk upright, please’.
Form: Lyric

Vice Versa

If wisdom now comes
out of the mouths of the young
It follows they must
Retrogress in a future
Step down to a lower rung

Premium Member He Needs To Concede

Donald Trump really needs to concede
A new president is what we all need
He's stubborn as a mule
But can't win, voters rule
Step down sir, our Country needs to succeed

Premium Member 71 is No Fun

my arm is tender
my leg is sore
hobbling and limping
shall I tell you more?

my ankles are killing me
dual arthritis you see
each step down
brings a giant frown

I’m falling apart
a pain in my heart
seventy-one
is no fun

Dusk

The light retreats and its elements step down, 
Shadows grow longer and stand bolder.  
There’s an awakening and an emergence.  
Time opens another door.  
Mysteries traverse and converse.  
The soul encounters the dark tides.

Premium Member The Leadership

A leader is to lead
To acquire the aim
To reach the destination
Where, when and how
This is not the only problem he faces
But men's expectations and supports 
And the majority votes 
There won't be a total compromise
To lead or to step down 
Is the only last judgement
Ever seen in history

Steps

Take them up a bit Step down and disconnect yet Well oriented
Follow the rhythm Fall into run, then schism Palladium's glow
Hang on, two flights left Three ahead then go right Welcome home, goodnight
All this time, and the elevator still remains 'Out of Order.'

The Lions Den

Walk of the ages step by step down pavement and dirt bare feet and linen, bark with the weight on shoulders king of king of all fiery eyes that knows thy enemy that laughs at the face of danger at first and last glance the prey that don't stand a chance of survival as he suffocates the opposition one by one

Premium Member The Circus Goes On

     So Trump’s been shot, the circus goes on
        The campaigns continue, the amusement’s gone

     What will happen next, will Biden step down
        Will the DNC implode, will the country break down

Egypt Holy Land

Violence  in the streets 
Mankind seeks democracy 
Cyberspace is KING! 

Mubarak refused
To step down as President,
Uprise, Heaven Sent.....

The future is clear,  
Blood will spill and Armies fall, 
Cyberspace rules all ...

As Plan B unfolds,
The Whole World Is Watching You
Go Forth, See this through...

Writing a Step Down Poem

Do you write too early or too late?
It's hard to say at this late date.

Especially when specifics are the only rule,
Writing like this makes me the tool.

I wrote it early and then,
Edited the text...who knows when.

Now I'm in the quibble,
Two more lines to scribble.

Only four words now,
I've done it...somehow!

Not Going To Fly

not going to fly 
not having it 
not backing off
if this goes a stray 
will not take it 
will not step down 
will not give up 
will fight for territory
this is last straw 
this is straw that broke 
this camels back 
this turf 
this territory 
is already inhabited 
not going to leave ever
nothing can push out 
existing inhabitants

Ejection Fraction

Step down from your 
ego. The brain dead has- 
left a lesson.

Left a lesson, the brain dead. 
Will you measure the 
EF before the cardiac arrest ?

Sexing an issue 
of dented verbs, why 
do you need a defence ?

The numbers are climbing. 
You have entered- 
a high risk zone,

of killing yourself.
Give me a ghost writer, I 
need an art, not a duplicate.

Show Yourself

Before i scream out loud 
Before i bounce off the walls 
Before i step down from standing tall
Before i crawl down to my knees

Show yourself to me 
Show yourself for what you are
Show yourself in the bright light
Show us what its all about

Bring me back to your soul
Bring me back to the world i once loved
Bring me peace inside that hides
Show us love for the ones that have died .

One Step Down

Draft beer, chess boards, and Kerouac cool. Cerebral grafitti and a Robot-in-Drag juke box bubbling out fifty years of good jazz. A virtuoso burger flipper destroying the laws of physics, making gravity play the fool. On the restroom walls, the surfaces held musings of poets and philosophers… overwritten since, by lesser bards and now closed. Soon to be apartments.

Georgia's Laugh Inn

At Georgia's Laugh Inn
there's no liquor,
no credit cards,
just cash.
There aint no
whiskey between
ol' bar stools
ragged beards
and confederate caps. 
At Georgia's you can gamble,
there's poker, cards 
and dice. 
The airs a sea of smoky Marbolo
The perfumes sea salt with bud light. 
At Georgia's you can step down,
to the coast of the old south.
Get a laugh in at her Laugh Inn,
before wandering 
someplace else.

Premium Member So So the Clown - the Triel Style

~ So -so The Clown~ (Triel) So-so the clown He couldn't just step down He laughed, sang songs which sounded all wrong Then, oh no! his pants did fall, suspenders not strong. Pants went down Folks just laughed, some did frown So-so the clown ran, slid on his skate, folks amazed when So-so flew and fell on his plate. Dorian Petersen Potter aka ladydp2000 copyright@2011

Bones of Winds

Inside, the battle wages.
One step down,
I drown myself in the frowns
of a thought. Night sucks at my fear.

The rhyme of the fading moon
intends to fix me up.
I refuse to smell the breath
of the catch.

I bloom on the pain,
sweetened kill of the day. An empty jump
in void of a portrait;
shaking wall.

Watercolors were ruined
by smudging the reasons.
Clutching the bones of winds, falling
from the sky.

Never land

At one point I believed in forever;
I believed in infinity and time; 
Now I say please join me;
To a deathly line; 
The line I walk upon is thin; 
A line made for balance;
But I’m going to say goodbye to the win;
I’ll step down;
I’ll walk right in;
I will cast a ghostly shadow;
For at one point I learned the truth;
And that is there is not only a forever;
There is a place that is and always has been; 
A place called the never;
