Best Insist Poems

Some people insist that I keep writing limericks
Don't want to overstay my welcome in this mix
So I'll write a few
But back off, phew!
Unless of course youse guys start throwing big bricks

Well if you insist

I am not the color of my skin or the clothes on my back.  
I am not who or what you assume me to be. 
I am not a foul mouthed gun toting beer swigging cigarette smoking menace to society. 
I...

I ran into the room, said, "Do I smell bacon?",
but couldn't decipher the smirk Jim was making.
"Sure, if that's what you wanna call it!
Hey, why not stuff your gullet?",
and like a true American I was taken....

This is so surreal
 How do I deal
With a man that cares
 And catches me unawares.

Caught me by surprise
  He refuses to disguise
This love he has for me.
 Says it is meant to be.

He is loving and kind
 To my faults he is blind
He...

A place to sit, to insist the other exist.
Instinct ink; a brief connection to persist the other exist.
A place to relieve myself from this brief connection.
Instinct ink; a recollection of all things beneath.
A place to sit, and the smell at my feet reminds of all...

But Time Came To Your Side, Saying, Now I Insist



Fate, know this far deeper thought- stay alive I must

For one shallow day, die I become bone and dust

Silent, so calmly asleep,  turn I into stone

Beneath green pastures, weeping I for her alone

As fleeing winds,...

Why do people react to the verb insist?
Most of them, I noticed, take it as insulting.
Have lotta men 'round me. I can resist.
So cut out your attitude. It's not exulting.

So you tend to think if you are that rich
Every woman would immediately want you?

I'm Olive, a once flatulent cow.
Spinach is all I eat now.
That silly green grass
is a thing of the past,
for a new wind is blowing this hour.
To methane reduction all power!
If you're a cow too,
show assent by a moo.

What could be odder
than this switch to new...

God Does

What God does insist;
Him we should never resist;
Pray and will persist.

while we will persist

what they did insist
must add them to a longlist
those they call racist's

would not let him in
lonely little men had been
from knee came some skin

a nomenclature
does exist in all nature
pretty when mature

had heard sound of train
had looked through my window pane
saw small deer in rain

would hear...

I am trying to view a dream
I can make you again revive
By the magic of my words
I can give you a new life
I know my effort is true
I am working on true art
Fiction say moon is immortal
Fact say moon is not immortal
But in the world...

I insist that you see me 
for who I am,
even if it hurts. 

Because my humanity 
is worth more than your comfort....
