What Are Idioms
You might take this with a grain of salt
Knowing I heard it on the grape vine
Why they let the cat out of the bag
I'd say your guess is as good as mine

They say I tend to sit on the fence,
Off my rocker by not a...

Idioms!
An idiom for you
An idiom for me
It’s just an expression,
a message, you see.

Silence is golden.
Trouble comes in three.
Each to his own taste.
The powers that be.

A rock and a hard place.
Bat out of Hell.
A pig in the poke.
The day will tell.

Pedal to the metal.
Pie in the...

Defined By Idioms
Defined By Idioms

Naked truth, bent nails
dead men tell no tales
bad Apple, broken mirrors
burnt out light bulbs, crocodile tears
spilt milk, goose chase
two cents worth, rat race
rotten egg, bad to the bone
eagle eye, no place like home.
bat from hell,
pulled punch
big cheese, 
no free lunch
can of worms, bleeding...

Having Fun With Idioms
I want to tell some
things that will
Describe sayings
with fun and thrill
Here's the ones I
can remember
Stuck inside my mind
forever

The early bird gets
the worm
A breakfast food
that likes to squirm

A bird in the hand
is worth two in the
bush
Hold it gently or it
will squoosh

A penny saved is a
penny earned
A...

Idioms Part 1
1/18/17



Among so many rocks and leafs
As well as animals that squawk or squeak
Talk is cheap

Many things considered a dime a dozen
Like limes and onions

You're either with or against the clock
Whether it is continually making sense or not

At times it can all truly
Be quite the doozy
Frustrated...

Idioms of a Critical Thinker
Attacking others will never gain you ground
You’ll see the enemy when you turn around 

Stand and face the eyes you see
Within the mirror is the inner me

 Gaze upon this sight, until the face is changed
Your thoughts within, soon utterly rearranged

Even as you read, you...

Idioms For Abc
A penny for your thoughts
Bothered and pained
Caught between two stools
Drastic times call for drastic measures
Every cloud has a silver lining so
Free your mind from worries.....

Idioms
When the world was youthful
spiderwebs sang as they were spun.
Language was woven in the air
as accents of winds and trees
conveyed by an eloquent sky.
Untrammeled meadows annunciated
upon the lips of dens and burrows
scooped by shrew, mole, and vole. 
Fresh bathed daisies signed a speech
as they swayed,...

Idioms Part 3
8/11/17


During night, morning and afternoon
It'll happen often or once in a blue moon
In and on any side of the lagoon
From January to six months past June
Items kept together or strewn

No reason to exaggerate
We all make mistakes
It can't always turn out great
And be a piece of...

Good morning, folks, welcome to my show.
Come rain or shine, I’ll tell you what you need to know.

Up north it’s raining cats and dogs; even farther up
toward the border there’s brewing a storm in a teacup.

But it will be lightening fast, yes, just a tease.
And...

Idioms Part 2
8/11/17


Not yet a pundit
But I'll reach the top of many summits
Before I kick the bucket
Going after anything I covet
They sometimes say easy does it
Not going to stress myself out about any what if's
I'm not one to pass judgment
And I won't always come out triumphant

No intention...

Here’s idiomatic lines for nine.

Why does a stitch in time just save nine?

Why’s possession nine points of the law?

Indeed, why did the cat have nine tails?

Perhaps it’s because it had nine lives?

Why would someone go the whole nine yards?

Should cats and dogs be cats and...

We looked at the world through rose-colored glasses,
sped through the night under blue moons,
parked in cars and gave boys the green light.

Explored gray areas, dreamed of golden boys,
painted the town red and got caught red-handed.

We saw adult freedoms and were green with envy, 
we experienced...
