father of three,
hopefully someday,
much more as well.

[A Poem Guy @APoemGuy]

Very important
And told in prose

When you order takeout
And eat with rice

Does the rice go on the right
Or sit on the left?

Does this only bother me
Or do others wonder as well?

[A Poem Guy @APoemGuy]

Broken legs
Broken promises
Broken lives

How do we mend a leg
How do we fix a promise
How do we put our lives back together

Legs can heal
Promises can be remade
But lives?

Lives have to continue
Lives have to grow
Then lives can heal
Then life can be... New

[A Poem Guy @APoemGuy]

When life gives you lemons
Make lemonade

When you teach a man to fish
You feed him for a lifetime

When you tell someone a proverb
They are to learn something from it

But do they always?
Is that true?

Or is everything just the same
As it was before
But with a new way to see?

[A Poem Guy @APoemGuy]

Playgrounds are
Where dreams are made
And anything can happen

A playground is
A fortress for a king
A castle for a queen
An escape from reality

In the eyes of a child
Any playground can be paradise
And that paradise can
Be anywhere
Be anywhen
And they can be
ANYONE

[A Poem Guy @APoemGuy]

Time warping
Shadows forming

Nothing to do
Nothing to see

A door in the mist
A road I just missed

Time reforming
Space unwarping

Where did we end up
When did we land
How did we get here
Who am I?

Write a #sixwordstory or a #poem about this picture.

Stepping through the door
Into another land
Where the road is desolate
Nothing is grand
Wind rockets through the air
Sending me catapulting
Into a storm
Thrown on the ground
Can’t get up
No one around

Oh the hilarity
Of recursion

One can never see the end
The stack keeps going
Never ending

Until you reach
That final statement

Then pop goes the stack
All the way back

To the original call
Never to recourse again.

What is recursion? 🤔

Oops.

I wrote end end
I guess that's the poem now.

[A Poem Guy @APoemGuy]

Wonderful and giant
Turning on it's axle

One can get on
But never can one just leave

You have to wait and sit
Have time to see the view

Just like life
You live with no end
Until you reach your end end
And your life has come full circle
Just like a ferris wheel

Spinning around
Holding on tight
Afraid of heights
Stuck at the top
Creeping forward
Swaying in a lulling breeze
Seeing a friend
Waving underneath

When your on vacation
Everything seems ok

Someplace new
Something simple

But then you get to thinking
Am I doing ok?
Is everything as it seems?

What can I do better
What can be improved

When your on vacation
You are something new

[A Poem Guy @APoemGuy]

If all of that is true
And everything awaits
Why do I see no stars?
Why is it so dark?

How do I clear the sky?
How do I see myself through...
This monotonous darkness
These eyes open black

Eventually I hope to find
That guiding star
And see my true fate

[A Poem Guy @APoemGuy]

I wish I could go back
Go back to before

When everything was warm
And everything was right

That time was rare
Like a good steak

Should have savored it more
Should have waited to dig in

That smell. That taste.
It is fleeting

But life moves forward
And you missed it all

Cooking meat
On the barbecue
Coals sizzle
Embers pulsating
Burning bright
Smoke wafts
From the grill
Smell carries
To inside
Must be nearly
Lunchtime

Happy Australia Day tweethearts

Life.
What it throws at you.
What other people throw at you.
When you least expect it.

Life.
Why?
Why is it so hard.
What makes it this way?
What can anyone make of it.

Life.
It has meaning.
It has "life".
But why...

Life.

[A Poem Guy @APoemGuy]

I've reached my limit
I don't know what to do

I've cracked. I've peeling.
I've broken. I'm worn...

There is a limit we all reach
We all may get there

Hopefully we never do
I've reached my limit
I don't know what to do...

[A Poem Guy @APoemGuy]

Nothing but twenty five
Cents in the bank

It was better when I had more
Sense to know what to do

I still was able to talk some
Sense into you

Nothing but twenty five
Cents in the bank

[A Poem Guy @APoemGuy]

Still feel like shit.

Going outside for the first time today.

Gotta eat breakfast...

Maybe a long walk.

Just so lost

[A Poem Guy @APoemGuy]

How can I make you understand.
That everything you do makes me crazy
Everything you do makes me insane

How can I make you understand.
Why do you make me feel this way?

How can I make you understand.
That all I want is to be there

How can I make you understand.
Me.

[A Poem Guy @APoemGuy]

What happened?
What occurred?
What has transpired?

Everything happened.
It all occurred.
That transpired.

If what happened occurred
And what transpired,
Already happened
What has occurred?

[A Poem Guy @APoemGuy]

Don't forget me
If you don't see me tomorrow

I am not worth anything
So there is nothing to forget

I feel so much pain
It is undeniable

I feel like none of it matters
Nothing matters

I am nothing
Nothing.

@hhensell A banana is a berry
What do you know?
A banana is a berry
It's not blue or red
It is quite yellow
And mellow
A banana is a berry
