Show Me State Poems | Examples


List of Member Poems

Premium Member you have to show me in order for me to believe

I had never before heard of the faerie of the sea
They had to prove the existence of her to me
I grew up in Missouri, you see
The “show me state” which should tell thee

we have to see it ourselves, or we will not believe
They took me to the ocean in a boat called S.S. McVee
Faerie of the Sea came swimming by and gave me a nod.
Guess you are the doubting Thomas named Rob?

The snippity snip-snap of her bluff,
frankly, should have been enough.
To turn us away from such evil stuff.
We are Missouri Billy Goats Gruff
So it takes a little bit more of a huff
a smack down, belt or more obvious rebuff.
To make us know it is more than enough.

Missouri Broken Hearted Gate

If their was many bridges to a persons heart  where is mine  .
      Mine was broken several  times in the past years that ain't good
      when i am heart broken it slams shut just like a front yard gate .
The gate to my past is now gone my heart aches with pain because of the loss .
How do i live with that broken gate called a heart with all that pain .
Missouri is bad for broken down houses and broken down gates and broken hearts that are just like gates .
Missouri  supposed to be the Show-Me state so show me the broken hearts that  are broken  down gates that are broke .
Come  on Missouri please give me a chance to show the world i can mend those broken hearts that are gates you can see   why did these supposed to do about it   now how can i live .
These is so strange for me for how long for this to happen
                                   That's why it's Missouri broken heart gate.


Proof Is In the Pudding

When i touch back down,
you will see my new fate.
You may say im from Kansas 
the show me state.
Im leaving nothing up for debate.
actions speak louder then words,
My wisdom and courage is so absurd.
i can show you better then  
i can tell you.
Through the letters and 
things i mail you.
My recipe for succes taste 
good.
I will never agian be 
mis-understood.
proof will display , reveal , or show
Their is no darkness in light you 
already know.
i stay at my best supress for greater nothing less
evil dosent take a day off so why should i rest.
through my commitment and initiative.
this subject is no longer sensitive
Plans,Dreams, and Elaborate schemes,
taste my puddingand see the ambition i bring,
through my mission and dreams
The proof will be supreme.
