Gary Diamond Poems

It's always good to shatter a myth or two.
Get those preconceptions thrown out with the dirty dishwater.
Turn the angles round a little bit.
Keep the mind guessing and not stuck in habit.
...

You know, being a master of something doesn't neccesarily mean you're any good.
You can spend years and years trying to hone something down.
A sonnet, a dish, the perfect sailboat - anything.
However, just because you mastered a skill, or an art.
...

A crafty bunch indeed.
Insidious and serpentine.
You couldn't call them noble
Even on a generous sort of day.
...

Steal it all; please.
We don't need it.
Steal it all with great haste.
...

Be careful whom you call a friend.
Be even more careful when you meet a man or woman
That you once called a friend
But haven't
...

By invitation only.
The doorman has been given specific instructions.
He yields for no reason.
...

I didn't go much on school.
I didn't meet many people that did.
Because although I learned my lessons well
Above average,
...

Heavy headed the world looks good
Things are moving along just as they should.
Heavy handed the wrong way to play it
Don't hold it back just come right out
...

Only in a woman's loving arms does doubt distinctively dissolve.
With this kind of notion, once more I resolve
That when again one of them comes along
I'll pay a little more attention
...

Simple.
Streamlined.
Uncluttered.
No nonsense given
...
