nevermind

My heart clogs
up my throat
when I
try speaking about
how it feels.
Too large to fit
through
the thin trachea
of my limited vocabulary.

I'M a Winner

Of course I am too
smart to fail
Because in this
Life I am by choice;
Too large for worry,
Too noble for anger,
Too strong for fear,
I am indeed
A winner.

Premium Member Suez Canal

The Suez Canal is finally free
Precious toilet paper can come to me
This too large cargo ship
In the world a backward flip
Twas as crazy as Boston Harbor's tea

Premium Member Hamster Named Neil

There once was an old hamster named Neil
Who, when he ate too large of a meal
Would rise from the table
And say he was able
But then he’d fall asleep at the wheel

Addiction

All encompassing
Disease intent on
Destroying our family,
It slowly
Created a chasm
Too large to amend;
Irreparable
On all accounts,
Never finding complete absolution

Premium Member Baby Calf Bathes In a Pail

Baby calf takes his bath in the pail no matter what
Nearly taking off his chin in an “upper cut”
Because his face is too large, and his petootsie is too
I can hear him trying to get out, he has a loud moo.

Charge It

I only just begun to charge
Impulsive buys are way too large
My credit card sighs
While bankbook cries
My pay cheque I need to enlarge


*So many things to buy since I bought a house, but I really am a wise shopper : )

My Backyard

The wind among the trees
The sun behind a cloud
A peaceful day in my back yard
Is where my soul is found

It may not be too large
For fences it enclose
But my whole world waits there for me
And all my dreams there flow.

Shape Style Poetry: Waist Is Too Large

O
Waist is too large
 government charge
  get on the scale
but don't holler and wail
'cause the Diet Police
   plan to devise 
 gonna put us in jail 
 unless we ex-er-cise !

Ginormous :: Dunim

Combining only two words to form. Gigantic means too large. Enormous just shows sense of excess. Both above normal norm, use for notable stress. But, its reuse may be to splurge. It's not good word to conform. ~x~x~

Ave A Drink O Water Earle

when holded Earle a too large cup
of water heapied one inch up
drankied drankied Earle guzzler
and wetted chin and all his beard
slurping gulping could be heard
‘til emptied was the too full cup
and Earle’s hair grew ‘bout one inch up

The Heartbeat of Our Land

No task too large, no task too small-
Offering a hand in need,
They're the heartbeat of our land,
Such a significant part of life.
Countless lives are forever changed
From the generosity of those that did.

What would we do without
The awesomeness of our volunteers?

Let It Be

Have You?
Yes we have all swam in dark waters
where only the surface could drown us.

Will you?
The world you fished out of your mind
is far too large,
will you throw it back?

Can you?
Can you be just a cosmic question mark,
only a wish strung to an idea.
Can you let it be, let it be you?

Hit and Run

A hit and run
A masquerade
It's just my lot now to be played.
A little daft
A bit too large
Never one to just take charge.
Way too kind
And silent too
Perfectly convenient for passing through
Go ahead
Try it out
This girl feels pain but she won't shout
Hit and run
Have some fun
Don't look behind you when you're done.

Premium Member Hart Crane

I have stood beneath your Bridge
and marveled at the music
being whispered in its wires.
I saw America flash pass
on your train riding west,
a kaleidoscopic rush of signs
knitted into a vision too large
to hold in one mind.
You drowned in its immensity.
Through the taut miles
of shuttling, the wind
still murmurs
your timeless prayers.

Premium Member Limerick: Once a Stud Stallion In Wild Mare Charge

Limerick : Once a Stud Stallion in wild Mare charge

       for Rick Zablocki
   (as promised from the horse’s mouth) 
                      
Once a Stud Stallion in wild Mare charge
Didn’t see his gear was far too large
Hit goal right smack in poke
Mare humped : It in two broke
Since then in stud-farm draws dunged-straw barge.

Finding Self

Modeerf the dragon
lived inside
a mountain
in the cave he was born in
by a waterfall fountain
he snacked on vines
that tasted like wine
hid in safety
from dragon hunters
stayed too long and
grew too large to leave
one day in desperation
he polished a flat rock
into a mirror finish and
saw that his reflection was
the shape of a man
named Freedom

Even Prayers No Longer Know Whom They Ask

I have said so many prayers
that sometimes I feel they are no longer mine.
That I inherited them
like clothes too large.

I say them, but do not understand.
I utter them, but do not believe.
And yet, I cling to them
like the hand of a father who never held me.

Perhaps belief is not needed.
It is enough to keep hoping.
Even lost prayers
find their way to Heaven.

Irregardless

Like a size-too-large shoe; it does not fit true
IRREGARDLESS of who? Good lord, that won't do!

Preachers will preach it and good teachers teach it
Politicians used it; lawyers abused it

Rhodes Scholars quoted it; speechwriters wrote it
Musicians note it and gossipers float it

It's rather absurd how our English is slurred
In case you haven't heard: There AIN'T NO SUCH WORD!!

The Fight

Nantucket was a bully in town
And he pushed everyone around
From storekeepers to clerks
He had no special perps
Until he met Black-flag
Who gave him a special tag
Nantucket ducked and dodged
But Black-flag fist was too large
Nantucket was tag not once but twice
That changed him from nasty to nice
Right now, he’s a bully no more
Because Black-flag tossed him out the door

Let Your Heart Speak

Let your heart speak
Poets are the eyes
Of the world

A poet hearts
Is too large
Some times heavy 
Some times light 

Poetry is an act 
Of humanity
For those who are 
Of love

Poetry is my song
Poetry is my life
Poetry is my soul
Poetry is my spirit 

I love the gift of nature
When the pen 
Pens what the heart bleeds

So on poetry oh poets
Let your heart speak

A Friend In Isolation

Nothing behind but darkness
I can’t go forward in this starkness
Inside these walls I flee
Escapes between the pages you see
A sorrow, too great to bear
Too large is my fear
I heal in this isolation
reprieve in my determination.
Tears flow through my heart
I am sorry we had to part. 
From the haze you arrive
Together we’re alive
Reflect my pain 
Remove the stain
A light amongst the darkness
