24 Poems ~ 24 Hours
I’ve never met an ugly woman
At least not to till they open their mouths
The inner beauty is what draws me
And what I’m talking about
They can swing like Cleopatra
From a universe of stars
But what comes out of the mouth
Shows exactly who they are
So while there are no ugly women
Judging by the skin
Beauties proof will tell on you
Because it comes from deep within
I don’t need no rhyme nor reason
For a reason to rhyme
Whether in or out of season
That’s enough reason at this given time
Please can I have
My America back
The one that I had
When I was a kid
The one that I pledged
Heart covered with hand
It was no secret kept
The day that she left
The one that I knew
In my days of youth
Where the flag proudly flew
Star Spangled Banner the tune
With historys proof
Never to lose
Now where did she move
The country that I once knew
Let the festivities begin
Whether or not I win
I’ll keep steady pace in writing this race
From beginning to the end
I’ll jump the highs and duck the lows
Take it as it comes and goes
How many hours you say are in this day
Please say it isn’t so
As I take out my pen and paper
Commence in on this widow maker
Step off the high dive in hopes I’m still alive
