“What is Love on Easy Street”
topic by Outridera1
staring at the window from a nostalgia of a winter lost
invisible for eyes to see and memories to forget
strolling along the alley in the night
wondering, sometimes in winter, sometimes in summer
in the streets to find a familiar face
what is love on easy street
when it's frequently givenwithout a conscience
given with a price on its head
a touch is unfamiliar
a gesture unforgiven
even a whisper is silence by the night
what is love on easy street
given freely and frequently
yesterday wasn't that nostalgia
something to forget among those nights of loving
those nights where memories could not last
what is love on easy street
coming and going
like the song goes: "I found love on a lonely highway
"I found love on a two way street
and lost it on a lonely highway."
what is love on easy street?
Passing by as if a memory forgotten,
as if yesterday never happened
what is love on easy street frequently given.

“Out with Supply and Demand”
topic by Terzanelle
What good would memories be
And demand for the other sort
I have to wonder
If they're not tied together; somehow
One begets the other
Odd how it works in so many ways
The left hand a promised land
The right an awful fright
A new love born today
An old lost tonight
So be it, I guess
To hell with the rest
Out with the law of
Supply and demand.

“Training Day”
topic by Jbatlady28
I've got to get ready for the big day
Push all my fears aside...Out of the way
Focus on the task at hand these rhymes
Brush up on my word play I've got to make time
Face to face battling in the spot light
Training day neurons in my brain ignite
Up for the challenge ready to fight
Brace yourself with all of your might
I'm coming at you full force non stop
Fast and furious rhyme after rhyme I drop
Like poker your best bet would be to flop
I'm all over you like a floor is to mop
I'm not going to ease up until I reach the top
Battling against me your on the chopping block
2 more weeks my game face is on
I'm going to play off u like a pawn

“May the Best Man Win”
topic by Lowtekman5
Anomaly, unusual, different,
nice words for weird thanks
I didn't see me in the race
I did not fit within the ranks
I watched the pain that relationships bring
I was the safe one to talk to when it hurt
chasing bad boys and that kind of thing
was when the bad man treats her like dirt
then she looks so puzzled and I was left to learn
love and logic rarely meet
you're lucky if you can keep what you earn
you may cry when you suffer defeat
may the best man win well that's ok
I am not among the listed knaves of love
so enjoy this little victory today
maybe my values may have a different prize
I may just try to find the love in your eyes.
