On The Side Poems - Poems about On The Side

Now my hands rest in my pockets and I stay still and don't bend. You know I still can't see the end, well one thing I sticked on. But still the only thing I wanted to go away. You really did as If you ripped off everything of my body, nothing's there that would describe myself clearly. During that...

I had heard of flower power, but this was extra nice I sat and stared at the bus as I enjoyed a pizza slice. Who painted your flowers? I asked a hippie all gray. My wife, he told me. Aren’t they merry and gay? They are fantastic, look three-dimensional in a way. He called for his wife. She was an...

I have lived on the side for so long A life full of drudgery and misery A victim of unfortunate birth To a lowly stock of humanity And to that soulless contraption of a fatherland Destined to scrape along On my daily shamed trajectory Of the wretched of the earth Living a good life has always been...

If caution is the side on which You are supposed to err, It’s possible to overdo it, So you should beware. It may be better letting time Or nature take its course And then you wouldn’t suffer from Annoyance or remorse. There is a line to draw between What’s prudent and what’s dumb, But sometimes fear kicks in and makes It easy to succumb....

Err on the side of caution, For often it seems to me, If something is overly hard to do, Perhaps it's not meant to be. If there are too many precautions, More than seems normal to you, It may be better to re-think your plans, For what's done you cannot un-do. Sometimes things may seem the opposite. It may seem to be total bliss. But...

A car's pulled over on the road And hidden by the door, A child lets out an urgent stream Within the traffic's roar. The parent gets him back inside, Their motions chop-chop-chop, The passersby relieved to have Avoided such a stop. We've done this for our grandson When there's been a pressing need Although, of course, anxiety Is surely guaranteed. But when his dad is...

A BIT ON THE SIDE They strolled together with wistful strides, their marriage wows a step behind, and all the absent qualities in tow, the private mirth, the soundless words, neither saw the storm in the winds, that could rustle leaves in their lives, neither felt the need to think or state, what could not be...

Staying in a neighborhood Where locals live and shop Gives a taste of life beyond Where all the tourist buses stop. Discovering a small cafe And breakfasting outside Opens up a little window To a place where folks reside. Of course, the highlights beckon - The museums and the parks, The monuments and buildings From which history still harks. But there's something very special When you...

A man sat upside down on the side ways wall surrounded by paintings of his distorted pain and his unconscious pessimistic mind. Cracks in the walls, cracks in his mind. 2 sides of the coin, 2 sides of his face and mind. Wabbajack man. He can't find a way out of all the cuts that...

Oh how it struck me so.. the dog on the side of the road.. You have all been enslaved by self gain and judgement... Why waste time? What is sane? and Who's to blame? Oh how It struck me so! The dog on the side of the road.. Look into those eyes...the feeling to know everything dies... So sad that we only insist on...

Many people swim in an empty pool and decide that pools are not fun. Is that really a true statement? Will time end? If you can not see the time, is it really there? If everyone ran away from problem solving, would anything be resolved? Look at the people who do not practice that. Mimic them...
