Gary Diamond Poems

A certainty is nothing but an uncertain that was proven.
A rephrase like that could jog the mind a little.
As well as a punch in the chest could awake the killer instinct.
...

Beggars freaks and bandits
Virtual cowboys and streakers
Tearing up the internet.
...

I advise you to admit to as little as you may get away with.
It's worth less than your while to get caught red or empty handed.
For every crime that is solved
Many go unheard, unrecognized and unheeded.
...

Some metaphors are better for making a point than others.
Some metaphors futhermore
Are for ousting your former lovers.
Few metaphors will get applause
...

There is a corner of the closet where the old and the cherished reside.
I don't look there much or dust it that often but it fills me with some form of pride.
It houses the clothes that are so loved or over-used
That they are threadbare and faded from the many machines
...

I don't see why the joker is such a rarely played card.
It looks foolish and dated in the pack.
But if we were absent of jokers in the real world.
It wouldn't be much good at all
...

It's a bad one.
It's a very bad one.
Even the tiny cracks of light at the sides of your curtain
Batter you around the head violently.
...

I think a person can learn a lot more from losing
Than ever could from win after win after win.
Not to say that a winner gains nothing.
But the loser may yet come back stronger.
...

There's an old saying which we each know by heart.
'The grass is always greener on the other side.'
So it goes.
...

I suppose it's not wise to want to get too much insight into the future.
Because preconceptions are often a dangerous thing.
Often a suicidal thing, if not handled with kid gloves.
...
