Taking Poems

Taking the Micky

Some find it a joy taking the micky
Of those who find life is often tricky
With problems to face
That bestow heartache
To you who dares, I send you this ditty.

Taking Stock

Been to the London Stock Exchange
opened in 1571 by Elizabeth the Queen
and what's more saw the New York Big Board
the world's largest stock market ever seen
but when I took a trip to Paris
had no clue as to what to do
altho' I was educated in French
(parlez-vous?)
I believe brokers did so to discommode
as when yelling buying or

Taking A Break From Reality

Don't feel offended
if I come across as flat,
It'll be cause I'll rather
dream than be alive,
I love the fan on full force
as under my sheets,
I have to double wrap
for any comfort,
& its easier to sleep
while freezing.

My dreams to me,
are where,
I need to be.
There's another
universe
I so much desire.
My dreams
without
the nightmares
are constant
reminders.
Flat-ness
of sitting
up for hours
is no life.

Taking Care of Momma

Time has went by and now we've switched roles
Having me at 16 and dealing with life's  blows
To me there was no problem you couldn't solve
Through my growing up you were always involved
Now you're getting older and i must take care of you
You've always had an independent point of view 
There's nothing wrong with me

Always Taking L's

My life's always been full of so much love, lust, and longing,
As well as shallow lovemaking, loneliness, losses, lamenting.
Feelings old and new within me are always lingering.

Taking A Look Inside

Should a man dare to look within?
Search secret places of hidden sin?
The lack of which could be exhilarating,
But those long loss, debilitating.

Even those revealed can be a gift,
Confession, forgiveness, they could give a lift.
Or an insight into his authenticity,
Could open his eyes that he might see.

Through the illusion, that’s led him astray,
Guiding him back to

Taking Electricity for Granted

we just lost power
no biggie
I’ll fix something to eat
maybe not
unless I want cold food

I could type up some poems
If my computer would work, but it won’t without power
the refrigerator is out, the oven is out, the TVs are out
the internet is out, the power tools are out

Our cars are stuck in the garage
I just put

Jaymee's Version: thanK you, aIMee, For Taking it Down, I Guess

it's as good an apology
as I'll ever get. Red-handed 
is a hard spot to be, 
but you deleted it quick.
Although it had been there 
since March of '24, 
which just means your speed
was relative to matters of impending 
consequence, not conscience.

Rest assured as inertia, I think you got it 
before anyone could clock the line

People Like

It is the way of the people,
people like you, people like me.
It is the way of the people,
to want whatever they see.
It is the way of the people,
people like you, people like me.
It is the way of the people,
to take whatever they please.
It is the way of the people,
people like you, people like me.
It is

Taking back what's mine

Screams taking up all I own
Screams making me believe  I am no one 
Screams enchanting him over my sorrow
Cause his joy only lies on my failed tomorrow. 
They try and try
To ensure I give up
My eyes cry
For they never give up.
They take my beauty
They take my time
They take my energy 
To I can never

Taking the Bait

I’m in a boat

I'm Taking Steps For A New Life

I'm on fire with this life.
I like the fiery flames,
I like to let go through myself,
To experience, to feel emotions,
I love to warm up people's life.
I want to believe my own feelings.
Rather than rely on logic often,
All my destiny steps are taken away,
When I felt my whole body sense,
Came brave right decision for victory.

WE ARE TAKING THE STAGE

They told us silence was golden
but we learned it was a cage.
Now, the locks are rusted open
and we are stepping on the stage.

No more whispers in the margins
no more shrinking to fit the room.
We speak in every shade and story
our words like seeds that bloom.

We are not echoes of one another
we are a rising storm,

Taking Responsibility

Bench waits, hope takes field,
One swing to change all the score,
Clutch moment arrives.

Taking a Trip

Leaving home to take a trip
Invites a lot of stress,
For whether things go just as planned
Is anybody’s guess.

Within your comfort zone you know
The rules and the routines,
The details all at your command
With few surprising scenes.

Yet out of bounds all bets are off
And so much can go wrong,
As unfamiliar routes demand 
The proof that you belong.
