Poems About Patience by Top Critiquers

if you have a dream you have to follow it:
do not put it off for another day.

if you want to scream you have to swallow it:
wait until you have another way.

Bar...
Voices from the tables
Plain conversation
Obvious talk  
 
Bar...
Wasting my manliness  
Wasting my time
Life is alive outside
 
Like acoustic guitar strings
Like an answering machine
Would the waitress call to say hi ?
She might become a must in the night
Longing for a song  
Longing for a poem  
 
Bar ...
Bar on the corner
Evening fading away too fast
Over there outside

When the Flip

I can remember
when the flip
happened.

What was beautiful inverted
with what was not.

Beauty
turned its back
on me,
believing the slick
words
of others.

What had never
been given
a spark
of notice
became my muse.

In my wretchedness,
I was accepted.

That became
the appex
of beauty.
