After it is said and done
Suggest nothing at all..

my best traffic rules
Don't back up car near neighbor's pool
Do pay your latest traffic fine.
Close window first, then yell, "you fool!"
It's wise to always look behind.
If driving an elderly "jewel,"
remember: gears aren't there to grind
If all else fails, try traffic school.
Take bus if over eighty-nine.

Suggestions from Meddling Maude
Meddling Maude has a dangerous belief
that she knows better than others
she can raise your child and discipline it too
whatever you do, probably needs tweaking
and she is glad to be the tweaker
She does not see any benefit to keeping opinions to yourself
Maude shares her brilliant advice with people she encounters
strangers on the street are given tips

Suggestions for Dissatisfied Dickie
Dissatisfied Dickie sat in the chair to mope
He likes that mood said his brother, he can be a dope.
It’s not his fault said another, he has had a mean wife.
So do I said the brother, but I have had a good life.
To get over being sad, he has to get up and go.

Make Suggestions If You Must
I have had a sense of true self since babyhood.
Others wanted to socialize me. It was semi-possible.
But my internal voice told me what I needed.
I have always followed my soul.
Perpetually believing in myself when others didn’t.
I am a painter who has accumulated thousands of paintings.
Painted by me for me, to uplift my soul, increasing my

Sincere Suggestions
I have wondered what Poetry Soup would be like
If poems submitted were subject to critical eyes
And contributors were free to critique the poems,
To say how they really feel about a poem, to analyze.
Of course, it cannot be, for we are a thin-skinned bunch
Often our feelings are hurt by the slightest correction
And, I am of the

Here Are Some Suggestions
Some teachers think they know what I do.
No one does.
Sometimes not even me.
They want to help.
Give me suggestions.
I listen to them all.
They do not understand.
My goal is not to parent other people’s children.
My goal is to create a solid relationship with them
so, if something bad happens, they can talk to me.
I listen to their suggestions
Because

Deaf Ears
When our suggestions fall on deaf ears
And what we think carries little weight,
We begin to realize our deepest fears
When ideas we cherish do not resonate.
Saddened by another’s lack of concern
When our suggestions fall on deaf ears
Deep down we feel a bit of heartburn,
Occasionally it wells up in bitter tears.
At heart, we have their best, our

Some Thoughtful Suggestions
Try not to get caught in a sooty coal scuttle
Or trying to rip off your local cross-town shuttle,
Be especially careful to remove your shoes
Before getting into your best friend’s canoes.
Never talk out of turn in a dim lecture hall
Or declare your intentions right after a fall,
Nothing is so special as finding a gum wrapper
Or spending

I Shall Consider Your Suggestions
Thank you for your input. I appreciate the time you have spent.
Trying to fix me, to mold me, to make me better.
Some of your suggestions are wonderful.
I shall consider them, pondering them over and over.
I will throw them into the air and toss them around with my feet.
Some will stick on the ceiling where they

Part 1 Untitled Seeking Suggestions
Im a deep thinker
not much of a drinker
I don't break the rules
I ain't no fool
I'm dedicated
I'm highly educated
I dont wear a disguise
I keep my eyes on the prize
I'm a bit crazy
not a bit lazy
I learn from mistakes
I give more than I take
I expect nothing in return
I let the fire burn
I don't pass judgement

Your Suggestions Aren'T Welcome
This is me.
This is me.
Not caring so much about caring,
but still caring.
Because to be labeled sane you'll have to care.
And still I'm falling short of prerequisites placed upon me by your judgemental faces, my life choices are like Facebook filled with unwanted comments.
Hanging, out the window like my own dirty socks.
Made to feel short even
