I'm behind the plate
catch pitches throw out runners
and control the game...

 if I throw out the trash what's left?

Cabbaged?

Throw out the words
Like toss of dice
A scrabble game
You shuffle twice
Ink spots appear
To your delight
You now make sense
Of this....

they walk and talk
in the rain it was pain
for us to vote
gave us hope
now come in
treat like no friend
well we throw out the ball
WE MADE THEM ALL...

Clothes
I love
You throw out
What’s that about?
Who do you think you are? The God of Bods?
The Fashion Assassin?  The King of Things?
It’s not your stuff!
So don’t touch!
Okay?
Hey!...

When people, fueled by ignorance and hatred, 
throw out misinformation, insults and slurs…
Remember:
The way people treat you…that’s their Karma…
The way you react…that’s yours....

Do not throw rocks
You might hit a car
Never hide in a box
Unless Mom knows where you are

Do not eat glue
It'll make your tummy yucky
Learn how to tie a shoe
Throw out the rubber ducky...

when she get in 
and new world begin

QUIVERING LIPS

Barbie’s plaything lips of blushing roses,
So pretty, but her mouth barely closes.
Lips quiver in sleep,
Throw out secrets deep.
Tabloids reveal her “man-i-Ken’s” poses.

Do not stop loving someone
Because they are broken
As you do not 
Throw out a book
When the spine is cracked

You tape it up
And continue to read
And make it like
Brand new

Loneliness is a stale donut
Forgotten and left in box
For how many days now?
How many days!
Takes as self-pity
Eating the donut it tastes like pain
And sickness rising in my throat
For I remain and the box I throw out...

Tomorrow is Election Day
    Hurray!
  No more attack ads
  An end to hyperbolae
    and unproven accusations...

  We'll throw out a few bums
  Elect some new ones
  Two years later ~
  They'll all beat the same drums...

If you are fresh out of ideas,
You may need to freshen up the ones you have,
Throw out the ones past their use by date,
Listen to what comes out of the mouths of babes,
And don't discount all of those that come out of an old hat....

So what divides people the very most?
Let’s eliminate all of those things
We can love our neighbors then, right?
Just flush stuff down the river
Here’s a great idea
Ban politics please 
Throw out religion 
Unity
Oneness
Peace...

Take down the photos
of rivers run dry
Throw out the offerings
to the gods of luck and time
Claw for the right words
Spit them out on the pavement
Carve this life into a home
Know you'll never want for comfort
Know you'll always be alone...

the eternal fear of the moon
she won't be forever beautiful

that the end of the long
solstice is coming
and how mild the winter is
in a root of a chestnuts
where the kids sing the burden
and throw out our words -
the kites in the wind....

At Expense of Another

Could be anyone like a sister or brother,
Take advantage of at expense of another;
When in doubt,
Do throw out,
While my very own sins shall smother.

Old Fauci was to throw out the first ball
Donald Trump wasn't invited at all --
  Doc said, "You catch me, OK?"
  Trump agreed, "Without delay!" --
Fauci's pitch hit Trump's abdominal wall

“By the way, Ron Paul wants
to eliminate the Department of Energy”
“Ah! with that one statement
he has won my vote!”
…
…
…
 “I see… he wants to eliminate
every other cabinet-level department, as well”
“YOU MUST THROW OUT THE BATHWATER
WITH THE EVIL DEMON-CHILD!”...

I want to forget all my prayers,
throw out the cigarettes
the medication and your name
Forget the summer stained memories of
basements and bridges
Make way for city light
I want to close my eyes and breathe deep
Like I'm a kid again
and you're just down the street...

Detroit rabbit couple ride their fish balloon in the Michigan skies
They like what they are throwing; there is happiness in their eyes
We wonder if they know what they are doing; as they throw out some pies
Made of carrots and cabbages, not delectable unless you are flies....

How To Have Gotten

Many answers exist how to get over a hump,
That are sung to the tune of Throw Out Trump;
At odds always,
Nights and days;
In the road, he sure has been one big bump.

Mile high eyes Miss Imagination,
beguile us with a new fairy tale.
Style the hair of an unruly wish
while writing a journey at grande scale.

No way let your eyes start to open,
throw out reality for daydreams.
Below your lids let your mind wander,
go past what is known aim for extremes....

Some poems are long and complex,
With imagery galore;
And some throw out ideas you think
You really should explore.

Some poems have gorgeous language,
Every adjective a gem;
But, if you haven’t guessed by now,
This isn’t one of them!
