A bad cop drove early,
From ground hit instant,
Jerk kick limply,
Manual neutral off side,
Pull quick resting stop,
This undeniable Van,
Wasted xerophyte your zip.

About this poem:
I am going to try and compose a Abecedarian form.. . . Not easy at all
Example
A better cat doesn 't exist, four
gentle hearts insist. Juggling kittens,
leaping, mewing, now overturning
pillows -- quietly rush , sustain terror--
understand : Vitality will explode
yawning zzz 's !
by LaVerna B. Johnson

As the weather softly turns
Beckoning in the Equinox
Clusters of colourful bulbs
Dance and sway in the breeze
Eagles swoop up on thermals
Flying high until they are specks
Golden feathers gleaming amid
Heather glowing white on the hills
Indigo skies with puffy clouds
Jutting into various shapes
Kale drift by lazily snapping flies
Luscious grasses adorn the meadows
Mushrooms appear nestled under trees
Nightingales sweetly sing in Spring
Osprey dive deep for fish
Plunging in time and again
Quaint old fashioned flowers
Radiant with rainbow colours
Spread rampant in the beds
Tulips dip and bow in greeting
Under the hosta's a dormouse lives
Velvet nose twitching the air
Watching out for birds of prey
Xanado bathed in sunshine highlights
Yellow buttercups which coat the ground as
Zenith of Spring soon now will fade away.

I Miss you
A little too much
A little too often
And a little more every day
Thinking of you
I miss you

I am giving you this ring as a promise to you
That no matter what, I will always be here and I will always be true
For you, I would walk a thousand miles and more
Just to see your beautiful smile that I absolutely adore
I promise that I will make you smile when you feel like crying
I promise that I will comfort you if you feel like dying
I promise to steal away your every sorrow and fear
I promise to wipe away your every tear
I promise to cherish every minute I spend with you
Until the daylight sky is no longer the color of blue
Without your love, I do not know what I would do
I will not have a future unless it involves you
You've changed me for the better and I have never been so happy
Now, with you in my life, I can't picture a world without you and me
Fate decided it was time for us to be together
And though our time here on Earth is short, I promise I want you always and forever
I promise that no matter what may happen we will make it through
Please take this ring as a symbol of the love I will always have for you

Even though we are miles apart
You are never far from my heart
I loved you then
I love you now
It's always when and
Never how
Take me back to yesterday
All the wonderful things you had to say
I loved you then
I love you now
It's always when
And never how
I see your eyes
I feel you near
Although you're not
Really here

Floating, heart askew
In the dark deep tunnel of nothing
Claw with every cell of me
Reach out for anger greed sorrow
Not the alone gray empty
Tiny shred of light
I wait for, hope for
A delusion there to help
Hold my hand tighter
Around the severing rope
My only tie to the world
A better life, twinkle dust
Of joy, love, a home
No more tears, aching soul
For a touch to hold on
Until then hope for, wait for
The tiny shred of love.

He was at the table
Threatened for the cards he played
Over nickels and dimes
The tips that he gave were always kind of small
When a bid was made
He had to make the call
And when the operator came on the line
She said sir
Can't you Get it in your mind
She will never talk to you
This should be clear
And now there's a silence in here
They want to show him to the door
And tell him to go
To where the sun never shines
And while some have it all
He always takes the fall
Over nickels and dimes

EVERY MORNING IS A NEW MORNING
and EVERYDAY IS A NEW DAY
and EVERY NIGHT IS A NEW NIGHT
BUT STILL
I WISH I COULD LOVE MORE
AND EVERY ROSE IS A NEW ROSE
and EVERY FULL MOON IS A NEW MOON
and EVERY SKY IS A NEW SKY
BUT STILL
I WISH I COULD RISK MORE
AND EVERY HEARTBEAT IS A NEW HEARTBEAT
and EVERY BREATH IS A NEW BREATH
and EVERY SMILE IS A NEW SMILE
BUT STILL
I WISH THAT I COULD BE MORE

About this poem:
Blowing through heaven and earth, and in our hearts and the heart of every living thing, is a gigantic breath—a great Cry—which we call God. Plant life wished to continue its motionless sleep next to stagnant water, but the Cry leaped up within it and violently shook its roots: “Away, let go of the earth, walk!” Had the tree been able to think and judge, it would have cried, “I don’t want to. What are you urging me to do! You are demanding the impossible! But the Cry, without pity, kept shaking its roots and shouting, “Away, let go of the earth, walk!”
Animals appeared--worms--making themselves at home in water and mud. "We're just fine here," they said... But the terrible Cry hammered itself pitilessly into their loins. "Leave the mud, stand up, give birth to your betters!"... And lo! after thousands of eons, man emerged, trembling on his still unsolid legs... He has been fighting, again for thousands of eons, to draw himself, like a sword, out of his animalistic scabbard. He is also fighting--this is his new struggle--to draw himself out of his human scabbard. Man calls in despair, "Where can I go? I have reached the pinnacle, beyond is the abyss." And the Cry answers, "I am beyond. Stand up!"

Here I am, stumbling down the street
The rain's pouring down
I'm staring at my feet
But splashing on my feet it is
my tears and not the rain
They're are salty and bloodstained
From my agonizing pain
Nobody could be more
mad at me than me
Why was I so stupid?
Never again will she trust me
She's asking me too many questions
Ones I want so much to ignore
But I've brought this on myself
What else could I have been asking for?
When I think about the way things are
The tears roll down my face
If only I could turn back time
I would've never ended up in this place.
