"excellent" poems
Wind blowing, leaves falling In the woods I am walking Birds chirping, squirrels digging Not stopping my mind from wandering Fashion walks, beach resorts Nice weather, beautiful people City breaks, country retreats Exotic animals, spiders and snakes Mona Lisa, The last supper Beautiful art, beautiful mind Excellent artists are hard to find Beautiful things everywhere open your eyes, happiness is right their

Beauty
Oh, woman, dear, don’t be so insecure; You’re only hurting yourself when you are insecure. Look at the mirror and see how beautiful you are, You don’t need to feel bad and to be insecure. When you see others smile and happy in their lives, Can’t you just smile for them and not feel insecure? When someone deserves a prize, an award for his deed, Would you aim to claim it because you’re insecure? When someone stands now in a place where you dream, Would you pull him down there when you feel insure? When someone’s being praised for an excellent work, Would you make some sour grapes- deeds of an insecure? Yes, you are stealing a moment of your own joy, Every moment that you’re jealous and you feel insecure.

INSECURITY (Ghazal)
a woman, confident in her cuddling abilities... *that's all any man wants, a woman, confident in her cuddling abilities, who knows the when and why of differing cuddling styles... a woman, confident in her cuddling abilities, who knows when to leave a man alone alone in his man-mourning time, distance needed, letting his ex-rage dissipate or watching his red and blue football redefine ignominy... a woman, confident in her cuddling abilities, that when the man low whistles, eyes adrift, she heartily agrees and is reciprocity rewarded regularly with hunk alerts of "hey-check-him-out!" that's all any man wants, a woman, confident in her cuddling abilities, a tigress in the bedroom she asking, try this, I'll love it, served with a desert demo of awkward afterward, his less-than-perfect cuddling abilities a woman, confident in her cuddling abilities, who doesn't abhor partner silences, comforting they are, in their own ways, lying side by side, interrupted only by peccadillo body noises unexpected and sheepish apologies and loving arm stroking a woman, confident in her cuddling abilities, who lets the man roar, top of voice, when imprisoned in car,   his voice, un enfant terrible, performs with Creedence Clearwater a sing-a-long in traffic, asking "Have you ever seen the rain" while amidst Israel-leaving-Egypt Sunday beach traffic on the L.I.E. a woman, confident in her cuddling abilities, when it's pheromones  alternative mode day, he celebrates Carole King day, she demonstrates her cuddling abilities, par excellence, with kisses and tissues a woman, confident in her cuddling abilities... a woman, plain confident in her abilities no matter the situational status, when confronted by less-than-crazy-impetuous, she smiling says "why not," when he proposes, a movie and dinner in a fav haunt? "plenty excellent enough" her answer, spoke in a rising voice full of unfeigned delight a woman, confident in her cuddling abilities, accepting the unexpected airport embrace on a moving sidewalk, unexpected delays with the aplomb of a well lived life's long term sustainability perspective when he kisses her hand for no reason, while driving 75 miles per hour, she only winces internally, the other hand vise-grasping the other door's handle, who brushes hair wisps in a dark movie, celebrating her Bathsheba Everdeen's duality of strength and tenderness a woman, confident in her cuddling abilities, that when on second date he proposes a non-exclusive relationship, confident enough to high-five respond, and laugh about it, seven years on a woman, confident in her cuddling abilities, that when she reads it, analyzing the oeuvre as "too **** personal and as usual too **** long"* that's all any man wants, a woman, confident in her cuddling abilities in everything... even a little occasional criticism

All Sad Words Start with D
My favorite # 1 Life experiences enhancer stress and pain reliever the magical psychotropic attributes it has makes me go loco. Cannabis Sativa/Indica or Hybrid I love it all...the only bud I won't smoke is "Reggies" that seedy nasty **** It gives me a headache. All other qualities strains and methods of ingesting or using marijuana welcome. The *** oil is so strong yet so dreamy and good. All around is excellent medicine and I will always remain to use it even after I quit my other habits. Makes people rejoice and come together happily with each other and commune and be kind to each other respectful to each other. That is what u love about cannabis.

~~~Marijuana~~~
Towns are shimmering, gleaming like Christmas lights, illuminating the midnight sky. Kerosene and oxygen, Congratulations for an excellent performance on the roofs, windows and walls. Parties were thrown to celebrate life by destroying everything that was venerable. Tussling with each other on whose new growth to enforce. It was then, when **** hit the fan that the people finally gave a ****

Hello there to the greatest girl Everything about you sends my mind for a whirl I bet you weren’t expecting that rhyme I hope it won’t be considered a crime (excellent vocab) Well I hope you enjoy every poem I write for you bringing you great joy and happiness is what i strive to do I believe the girl that is the best of the best deserved to be treated like a princess Jillian, you are my loving princess, so beautiful and kind you are better than all them disney princesses combined It would be as if we were on a magic carpet ride, I will always want you by my side Now wouldn’t it be pretty cute If i just keep making these lines with the disney princesses as the root? I think it would be, so lets As the prince was so determined to find the beautiful girl that had left her shoe As am i equally determined to bring joy to the equivalently beautiful that is you As the girl that swam like a fish under the sea sacrificed so much so she could be with her love As I am just as prepared to make sacrifices for it to always be you and me As the love that a man and a woman had was forbidden yet they did not listen to what others said As will i love you No matter what anyone else says As the beautiful girl and the beast of a man, did not care about appearance and became together For she took the time to get to know how great he truly was, As you did with me. This i will thank and treasure forever.

I know i didn’t get sleeping beauty or snow white, I just don’t believe you’d be put to sleep or poisoned with fruit.

You don't see me but I am There, I have numerous ways To take you, Hold you, Control you, You'll not even know I was there, I am a conqueror of flesh. Feeling... Sickly, siphoned, strained Both body and my brain Doctor said it's just a cold Nothing but a passing pain Is this hypochondria, Or is there something in my veins? Your insides are my playground To cause you much anguish & pain I'll infect you slowly at first, Have a little fun within your Organs Muscles Thoughts I aim to control, invisible To the eye, but you know I'm in here, your losing control. Today I coughed up blood Cold sweats come in floods I'm drowning in my own bed As I clutch my feverish head There's an inferno in my skull I'm taking Vicodin to null Whatever it is eating at me I know I'll be better in a week. You apes think size is intelligence, This was your undoing from the start, I replicate myself, as its my time to move on, I leave apart of myself here As its time too Infect Multiple Spread My gift to those around, You sneezed You coughed Upon your sweat, I am Now on everything you touch, Time to end the play, "Business calls" Be Proud of your self Patient Zero, dear human You were my first, But its time for me to move on...

Intelligent Killer (Collaboration with The Excellent Frank Ruland)
What a city I murmur to myself looking at its map. We approached the city known as Dis, with its vast army and its burdened citizens. At last we reached the moats dug deep around the dismal city. What destroys the poetry of a city? Automobiles destroy it, and they destroy more than the poetry. Dante and Virgil chased by 7 or 8 dangerous devils Grumpy, Happy, Sneezy, Sleepy, ***** . . . Our heroes reduced from metaphysical philosophers interested in god and what man has done to man to improvising primitive tools for survival. Hope abandoned, we rate our chances of expiring in the nuclear fire – excellent – during the decline of western civilization. On the other hand, I hope our current problems are only temporary and it’s just a matter of time before the public ignores the 24-hour news cycle. Bad news sells but the good life’s all around us. One feels love and devotion even for the 60 million who voted for our opponent. Vaclav Havel said with a wisdom well beyond brilliance: “Either we have hope within us or we don’t. It is a dimension of the soul, and it’s not dependent on some particular observation of the world or estimate of the situation. It is an orientation of the spirit, an orientation of the heart that transcends the world as it’s immediately experienced. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense no matter how it turns out.” It resembles grief. But it's not quite grief. I'll give you grief. Certain days planned to be eventful I look forward to for weeks. Let the peaceful transfer of power proceed. The sorrow and the pity. Never may the anarchic man find rest at my hearth. When the laws are kept, how proudly the city stands! When the laws are broken, what of the city then? We are moving through some allegory between a City of Hope, where history has been abolished, and a City of History, where hope can be slipped in only as contraband. Failing to achieve understanding, we're searching outer space for an entity to unite us as humanity. That person, or city, is consciousness. Two ancient female poets are a revelation, the clarity of their complaints: lost lover, lost city. Our enemy eventually becomes our brother, his misery lifted by coming to her city.

They say marriage is all about compromise. If that's the case, newlyweds Kia Parsons and Billy Bunning are off to an excellent start. The UK couple had different visions when it came to their wedding cake; the bride wanted an all-white tiered cake with cascading sugar flowers. The groom, on the other hand, wanted to incorporate his love of comic book superheroes into the confection. So they met somewhere in the middle: Julia Baker of Tier by Tier cake design created the cake for the couple's August 14 wedding in Milton Keynes, England. One side is the traditional-looking cake the bride wanted. On the other side, icing curtains reveal the logos of Marvel characters Captain America, Spider-Man and Iron Man, as well as Batman from the DC Comics camp. "I loved every minute making this cake, as I knew it would be something that people would be surprised at and appeal to all the Marvel fans!" Julia told The Huffington Post. In all, she spent 40 hours on the cake. It took 12 hours to make the sugar flowers, and the cake-baking and building took about 28 hours. Needless to say, Kia and Billy were thrilled with the finished product. "Julia did such a fantastic job and we were completely overwhelmed by how brilliant it looked!" the bride told HuffPost. "From most angles of the room, the cake looked like a traditional wedding cake -- just what we had wanted. It wasn't until the cake was moved for us to cut that our guests realized there was a hidden extra. Some didn't even realize until the photos went online after the wedding!" On Tuesday, a photo of the cake began going viral when it was shared by the Life Of Dad Facebook page. "I was surprised at how popular it was and how quickly the pictures circulated on social media," Julia said. "I have plenty more ideas to work on and I am calling these 'double-take cakes.'" read more:www.marieaustralia.com/formal-dresses-perth www.marieaustralia.com/white-formal-dresses

(the truth)
I really am an excellent liar But I can't seem to convince myself That I'm no longer interested In your quickening heartbeat Or the taste of your tongue Or how your mind works When you're trying to fall asleep At night. I can't decide If you're careless Or clueless But it drives me insane Knowing that you're laying down All alone.

The chocolate digestive is a marvel of invention Custard creams are sickly, but worthy of a mention Shortbread can be gritty, steer clear of the cheap ones For if you love your biscuits, your pockets must be deep ones For perfect dunkability, the hobnob leads the field But prone to going chewy if their packet isn't sealed Bourbon creams can satisfy when nothing else is offered Avert your eyes from pretzels, no matter how they're proffered The lowly Garibaldi is an underrated treasure A macaroon is excellent for eating at your leisure Enjoy the home made cookies and the chocolate crispy nests And save a pack of party rings for fobbing off on guests But biscuits can be functional, with keen survival craft A packet of pink wafers can be used to make a raft Penguins can be hollowed out and used to smuggle crack And if you throw a ginger nut, you'll always get it back A Jaffa cake is handy as a snowboard for a spider And flapjacks are a sustenance and energy provider Wagon wheels are lethal when they're wielded by a ninja Brandy snaps cure cancer with a tiny hint of ginger Experiment with biscuits, they're a versatile thing Try horizontal dunking or the highland shortbread fling Keep a packet stashed away for when the end is nigh And always have the kettle full, and milk in good supply

Nantucket Trumpet Tuckets (Limerick)
"hell yeah?" the burglar asked the pusher. (the burglar: wirily, ambitious. plain appearance, dressed in black. the pusher: wealthy, strong and well-conditioned. sumptuous leather jacket.) "hell yeah", the pusher answered. "now i got what i like and you got what you need." both grinned. after a day of extensive work, they relaxed in a hellish pub. it was visited by diplomatic creatures whose faces were recognizable like shadows. this pub was called babylon 8. the burglar and the pusher touched glasses to celebrate their deal. they drank. "nothing to be written down", the pusher added. burglar nodded. voices of the diplomatic creatures surrounding them; satanic sighs; bold laughter; their sentences sounded like orders that are dictated by judges.    snakes and rats. gravelpitbulls and red cats. creatures with excellent memory. guys who swallow their plans after they had learned them by heart. a while later, a lady entered the pub: adorable like a man's fantasy; imitable like a woman's strategy. her hair color was your desire; her skin color the color of your dreams. her name was fantasy girl. suddenly, the lights went out; suddenly, a lightblue sun illuminated the room. no one noticed. everyone so busy hiding something that nothing was hid. the creatures of babylon 8 therefore didn't perceive the light. fantasy girl ordered a drink. she told the bartender: "i need freedom. that's what i want from you, the people of babylon 8." the bartender a giant with a face full of shining scars; his right ear missing; flashy shirt; an ancient first name; speaker of all world languages combined: the omerta. fantasy girl took a sip from a silver brew which had been served to her by the bartender. she took out a single match and there was no box; a long cigarette between her unknown lips. bartender looked at fantasy girl. without saying a word, he turned his stubble cheek into her direction. fantasy girl lighted the match. lightblue fire. inhaling. smoke. iceblue cloud. the burglar and the pusher had been looking at fantasy girl all the time. fantasy girl held a white fountain pen and took a black sheet out of a green handbag. she began to write.

I am excellent. Not because I conform To someone else's standards, Beliefs, or expectations of me, But because I choose to live with integrity. I strive to be the best I can be Without expecting perfection. As I am also human. I falter and fail. But failure is not the absence of excellence, It is simply the cataracts that cloud my eyes And prevent me from seeing My own arete. For when I look in the mirror, All I see is dark spots, blemishes. And no matter the angle from which I view, I am inferior, a mistake. I must first accept my perfect imperfection And ask for help, Before the flawed lenses with which I was born Can be replaced, And I can finally see with unwavering clarity That I am a person of worth. I have significance. And though I may not always trust What I know to be true, It is my intrinsic value as a being, And not a doing, That makes me excellent.

Excellence
Ballerina stance leaner porcelain poised demeanor lined up for a chance at that old 500 gram repeater. Yeah, a little firecracker, a little fire eater. Twiggy figure, ****** fire dome where her little wires teeter. Excellent muse material my ***** optics viewed ethereal Beauty, and she knew it. Arrogance. Noted, duly. Pittsburgh's resident fire ant, with a grace to match her face And a whole crew of troglodytes racing to get a taste So thanks Angela Chase; I prefer the fantasy too. And thanks to you my chickens won't be sleeping easy in their coup. Loop Jabberwocky with Calligraphy and dabbled in polygamy. purpose: ****** cyst bubbles to the surface. Misinterpret the tongue touching and hand clutching, you were baby girlie thumb-sucking But thought more than twice about it when it came to dumb-fucking. Pretty face: check Depression: not yet Appreciating phonemes, but still a nervous wreck false carrot tops to bed, awkward with the ***** work. Near waif redhead. Pittsburgh Boys. the city lurks It's been a minute since the girl scouts got at me, I bought it. Hop in the DeLorean tell Lauren that I'm off it.

Security Breach at The Hen House
Peter Pan said Wendy - There's something I want to tell you. I am neither straight nor bent But what you might call bendy Captain Hook stopped reading his e-book and eavesdropped more intently. Peter knew what his flexible friend meant and spoke to her quite innocently. Wendy - I am as vanilla as Manilla envelopes in a creamery with whitewashed walls And identical twin albino Godzillas fighting snow leopards with cue ***** No gimp suit in fifty shades of grey for me. I am pretty much hormone-free, More than happy with asexuality, Playing pirated computer games on one hand And others' loves that dare not speak their names which fewer understand. In my world of dreamery certain flights of fancy pass me by. I love to fly and you Wendy. And I love you too Peter - Not Everygirl's Ideal of A Real Man. But I can understand the attraction of Lost Boys and their toys in Neverland. We've known each other for all these years, Shared too many troubles, thoughts and fears To be anything other than in each other's hearts. If I never visit Neverland again I know you will always be my closest friend, What, where, whenever happens To the bittersweet end. May we both be dying for an Excellent Adventure, If not together then separately. There is nothing better than to know That you will always be there for me No matter how we might grow Into this 21st century. And one day I may straighten out But That's Not What Life's About. Captain Hook put down his e-book and Facebooked a friend............... And that is where our story will end.
