All Thur the night
Feeling couldn't fight
You were in my head
In my bed
My body was burning
I was
TOSSING AND TURNING
A quickie is all that I need
But ladies want more than just seed
Though it feels sublime
They never have time
Unless they are taking the lead
could sleep
my mind was deep
thinking about you
it was passion too
i was hot to trot
my soul was love burning
LAST NIGHT
I WAS TOSSING AND TURNING
She takes all the I love you's she has saved
Tossing them gently to the wind
In hope's they make someone's day
And then blow back her way again
indifference flows
parallel to our concerns
truth lies in between
By
David Kavanagh
While I'm the greatest (I and I alone),
I think of the ignominy I've known,
and ask, "can time erase
the mess upon my face
before another well-aimed pie is thrown?"
sometimes wonder
if my heart were a desert
would i venture to grow
one little cactus flower
all to nurture my hope
for humanity

Okay enough about me and my attributes
I'll bow to those proving worthier, won't dispute
Sometimes comes out poop
Or like a delicious soup
Other times a toss up and doesn't compute!
the cukes were cool
while carrots saw clear
the coming assault
of asparagus spears
red peppers hot tempered
tomatoes were thrown
and the onions sat crying-
LETTUCE ALONE!*
it is what it is gang!
Form:
oh generation of garbage collectors
toss it out ...buy more
he shoots ... he scores
paper plates ... plastic faced
paper hearts ... what a waste
disposable lives ... biodegradable promises
After I found out
of my wife's real emotion
I went to the beach,
To fling my wedding ring
into the ocean
So, maybe some day,
you might order fish to eat,
If you chomp on something hard
Don't swallow it, as I've told,
Just might be you've struck gold!!
I tried to toss my cookies, but they all ran back.
Their high top boots made a clickety clackety clack
Leave me alone! I yelled, as one jumped on my back.
I could not shake this high top, his name was Zack.
Someone ran out to help me, I think it was Mack.
Tossing cookies is not easy for me after a snack.
POEM 9 TOSS & TURN AT NIGHT
TOSS & TURN AT NIGHT IN MY SLEEP.
TOSS & TURN AT NIGHT IN MY THOUGHTS OF YOU IN MY MIND SLOWLY CREEPING.
TOSS & TURN AT NIGHT YOUR IN DIFFERENCE GET TO ME.
TOSS & TURN AT NIGHT I CAN NOT SEEM TO LET GO OF YOUR WARMTH HOLD ON ME.

Serves to break fast bread
Preserving four loafs read
The bread winner
The family pitch runner
Finishing to finding treasure
Read is to read also re ad
Adding again to mean
Keen to add knowledge
Reading is seeking knowledge
Bread to come searching money
Knowledge or Money?
A toss of coin round like Earth
What’s more worth?
It is said a rolling stone
gathers no moss.
I disagree, I move on,
I'm my own boss.
Learning from a bit of this,
from a pinch of that,
to all the Jacks of All Trades
I gladly tip my hat.
Inspired by every win,
tutored by every loss,
So far, I've survived Life's
roll, yaw and toss!
Toss a smidgen
To a pigeon
And you know he’ll eat it,
Though once fed
A crumb of bread,
You can’t get him to beat it.
Still, what’s worse
And worth a curse
Are seagulls if you’re snacking,
For I’ve found
When food’s around,
They sometimes try attacking.
My advice –
You’ll pay the price
By tempting those with feathers,
For they know
Where humans go,
There’s food in any weathers.
Shall I compare thee to an elephant?
Of course not, you’re a motor car.
And if I put you in the zoo,
No-one would come and look at you.
You do more harm than him I fear,
For you pollute the atmosphere.
Though he blows methane in the air,
His carbon footprint can’t compare
To the ozone damage that you do,
With noxious gasses passing through.
But still you’ll be the choice for me.
You’re quicker between A and B
There is power in the tongue.
Words can cause good things to happen or bad things to happen.
People tell me that I am not going to make it in life.
My failures came to life.
Didn't want to believe they were right.
I toss and turn each night.
My failures are bonding me.
Don't think I have the strength to win this fight.
Just want success and happiness in my life.
People are worried.
Don't worry, everything will be alright.
TOSS THAT BAG
Put all your gloom into a bag
then toss that bag right away.
To drag a gloom bag's heavy,
let sunshine brighten your day.
Life's too short to be held down
with a weight that's hard to bear.
Happiness is a wise choice
that with others you can share.
Fill your mind with happy thoughts
and a smile you will not lag ,
Cheerfulness brings it's rewards
when you put gloom into a bag.

If it is your time, love will track you down like a cruise missile.
~Lynda Barry
Liminal~
betwixt and between
a rock and
a hard place,
it is transitional, man~
indeterminate!
I’ve been scarred
before and will be
twice if I
let myself
be lost in the charisma
of your silvered tongue.
Love is chance,
a roll of the dice,
and the toss
is not your’s,
the house always wins the bet,
it’s the house of blues.
I almost handed it in—
that letter with my name at the bottom,
typed in a rush,
heavy with deadlines and demands
I couldn’t carry anymore.
I watched the ink dry,
wondered,
is it time to walk away,
or am I giving up
on something that hasn’t started yet?
But I didn’t.
I couldn’t.
I folded it,
because turning it in meant
losing the fight
I’m not ready to quit.
So I tucked it back into my drawer,
and now I sit,
wondering if staying
is courage
or fear.
Sometimes sleep eludes me
But the cause I’ll never learn;
So on those nights I have no choice
Except to toss and turn.
It’s really quite annoying
And results in great concern;
My brain is like a roiling sea
With waves that crash and churn.
It isn’t fair – the night should be
When minds get to adjourn;
For after daytime stress, some peace
Is what we’d hoped to earn.
I guess I must accept the fact
That though for sleep I yearn,
There’ll come a time when I can rest,
Quite cozy in my urn!
