BEING DESPICABLE

WHOEVER IS CAPABLE

OF BEING DESPICABLE

SHOULD NOT BE PREDICTABLE

IT'S JUST INEXPLICABLE

HOW IT IS FORMIDABLE

 

SPLENDOR IN THE PAST

SPLENDOR IN THE PAST

IT WAS SUCH A BLAST

NEVER OVERCAST

IT WENT BY SO FAST

MEMORIES ARE VAST

 
Author's Notes/Comments: 

HAD TO PAUSE SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS TO WRITE THIS POEM...

RIPPLES OF HOPE

RIPPLES OF HOPE MAY BE FOUND

IF WE ALL JUST LOOK AROUND

PEOPLE WHO CARE ARE OUT THERE

IT'S GOOD TO BE AWARE

WE'RE NOT ALONE LOTS OF US

ARE WILLING TO MAKE A FUSS

ABOUT WHAT'S WRONG FAR TOO LONG

AND TOGETHER WE STAND STRONG

SO BE INCLINED TO SPEAK YOUR MIND

AND YOU WILL FIND  A GOLD MINE

OF KINDRED SOULS WHO  OPPOSE

ALL THOSE FOES THAT'S HOW IT GOES

ONE BY ONE WE ALL ADD UP

AND WE WILL FIND THAT IS ENOUGH

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I WAS WATCHING A SHORT VIDEO ON X AND SOMEONE WAS TALKING ABOUT ROBERT KENNEDY IN THE SIXTIES AND MENTIONED RIPPLES OF HOPE AND THAT GOT ME STARTED ON THIS POEM...I LIKED THAT...RIPPLES OF HOPE...

ALLURING ASSURING ENDURING

DO YOU SUPPOSE

IT'S NOT SAFE TO TRUST THOSE

WHO ARE NOT TRUSTWORTHY

IF THAT IS SO

I HOPE THAT YOU KNOW

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY

IT'S SAFE TO TRUST

INTUITION IS JUST

FOREVER OCCURRING

GOD'S GIFT TO US

THAT WE ALL CAN TRUST

LIES ARE NOT OBSCURING

THE TRUTH BE TOLD

THAT WE CAN BEHOLD

ALLURING ASSURING ENDURING

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

ALWAYS TRUST YOUR INTUITION

 

HAVE A PEEK

PETER PAN

NOT A MAN

JUST A BOY 

FULL OF JOY

TINKERBELL

WHAT A GAL

FAIRY LIKE

MAGIC SPRITE

NEVERLAND

UNDERSTAND

I INSIST

DOES EXIST 

YOUNG AT HEART

PLAY A PART

FAIRY DUST

IS A MUST

FLY AWAY

THERE SOMEDAY

IN YOUR DREAMS

SO IT SEEMS

MAGICAL

MYSTICAL

CASUAL

CLASSICAL

FAIRY TALE

PIERCE THE VEIL

HAVE A PEEK

WHAT YOU SEEK

WILL BE FOUND

ALL AROUND

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A POEM I WROTE AWHILE AGO CALLED WHO AM I WHEN WAS IN MY MIND WHEN I WROTE THIS ONE. I RECITED IT ON YOUTUBE IN MY POETRY PLAYLIST...

WHAT ARE Ps AND Qs

MIND YOUR Ps AND Qs

WHAT ABOUT  RSTUs

DO THEY THINK THAT WE ARE FOOLS

JUST WHAT ARE THOSE CRAZY RULES

I AM EASILY CONFUSED

NEVER MIND OH WHAT'S THE USE

SOME THINGS JUST CAN'T BE DEFINED

SOME ARE BETTER LEFT BEHIND

AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT I FIND

DANCING ROUND INSIDE MY MIND

Author's Notes/Comments:
