Promptness Poems | Examples


Premium Member Tipping Balance

   Off and on life to face some turmoil .
    You cannot predict, how long it will last.
     being a simple problem or coiled !
     You need a tipping balance to adjust.

    Proceed with vigorous running dynamic ,
   in static stagnant state not to remain 
   primarily stay enthusiastic ,
    yet a tipping balance, you must maintain.
     
    You must always focus on your action 
    Run or rush or if needed to gallop.
    Put full dedication, no objection .
    Be alert ! You  know when or how to stop !
    
     Promptness is good, but don’t be impulsive
     Never cross limits on your performance 
     Think, analyse and then act decisive.
     Work hard, obeying a tipping balance.

     Occasionally you may walk tip toe,
     sometimes you are compelled to make haste,
     yet matters little whether be fast or slow.
     Each step demands tipping balance at best.

Premium Member The Words of My Mouth

         Difficult to speak right at right moment	
         Words of mouth thrown once can't be taken back.
         I try to be polite on each comment.
         but sufficient promptness, I must not lack.
    
        I talk  pleasant putting proper effort.
    	 Difficult to speak right at right moment 
         Verbal interaction is sure an art.
         After conversation not to lament.

          I try to be clear to words what I meant.
          I talk to the point if to contradict.
          Difficult to speak right at right moment.
          Not being rude I talk, yet quite distinct.

         Well known proverb 'what you say, say with smile'
          Words of my mouth will remain permanent.
          To impress listeners is my own style.
          Difficult to speak right at right moment.

ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ASPHALT stupefying vision





If the people against, the true deniers
could change life
and rebuild the world, they:
Would erase all progress
that exists today,
and return to a nonexistent "glorious
time" of the past...
they would create a world of their own...
where the strongest
would command everything...
There would be a democracy
only for them, where they would determine
who should and who should not...
where permissiveness would reign
for proselytes and dura lex
for the rest...

Conflicts would be resolved
with bullets by those disguised
by power...
To the rich friends, everything...
all power, all glory...
To the poor... all honor
of serving the powerful with
promptness, servitude and quality...
IN BED, TABLE AND BATH!

Premium Member Common Sense

            Sad to comment                 
           Just common sense               
             not so common                   
             among public.                   
              
             Most callousness               
             all over known,                 
             says statistics,                
             what I have meant.           

              Sharp sense to own :  
               That’s specific.                  
             Not much talent,                  
            but need promptness.            

               That is basic,                     
               also urgent.                        
               Attain smartness                 
               without smart phone.

Brace For Impact

           Brace for impact with tact
              and promptness
              to access success
             on venture or adventure
             at present or in future.
           Meet the challenge at any range.

             Brace for impact
             Act, react or interact:
             Always in progress
             proceeding dauntless
              never to regress!
              Even if to endure failure.

             Work if gone wrong.    
              Stay stable and strong
              Rectify and correct.
             To be precise and perfect
              Keep your head erect.

              Honest approach with sporty spirit:
             Victory or defeat not the criterion.
              Dynamism is the countable credit.

            Whatever be the environ
              Calm cool or turbulent
              Hopeful or despondent
               Confront at every front
               Face fearful fact.
               Brace for impact.

Premium Member They Say Death Is Cruel

Not a cruel master; a humble assistant;
To visit or not, cannot be done by his choice.

Always carries a portfolio under his arm,
A pre designed schedule saying when and where to attend.
He comes not, though invited; uninvited, stops not coming.
Sometimes comes like an unconventional rain.
He is the mark of beginning and ending of life.
But how unlucky he is! 
Always listens to no other emotions except mourning.
Silently tolerates all curses showered.

His job  is endless.
No single applause for him.
Perhaps, in Nature
The one and only who is
Blamed for his utmost promptness

Troubadour

Expose faster
your songs from limbo
of your soul and exposes
your bosom...!
Do it list and with tenderness...
May you sing them beautifully
and grace...!
cast them accurately
on your beloved balcony,
at the counter of your intended...
Do it with maximum promptness
and grace, because you're at risk
that she listens to the songs
of love from another
further agile troubadour... and
  be enchanted...!

Premium Member The Mansion

THE MANSION

        Mr. Philip wanted to build up a mansion.
       Hindrances put him in adverse situation.
         In short period his dream turned an ILLUSION.

       Construction continued from morning till dark dusk.
       Rusty dust whirling, each worker was on thick MASK.
       Not at all a matter of joke, but too tough task. 
 
         His selection of persons to carry project
         was completely wrong, basically IMPERFECT.
          Plan of building was made by a FLAWED architect.

         Promptness of Mr. Philip lacked reality.
          Materials supplied were of poor quality.
          Supervisor did not even check quantity.

        Shortly FAÇADE and parapet were BROKEN.
       Roof, walls were CRACKED, and building collapsed on one morn.
       Mr. Philip got terrible shock and his heart was TORN.

Is It Wrong If

4/3/15


Is it wrong if
You're the only one always causing conflict

Is it wrong if
You knew, but didn't warn others before the bomb hit

Is it wrong if
You sat there and let the entire song skip

Is it wrong if
You feel entitled to judge others with promptness

Is it wrong if?
You lose control of being calm quick

Is it wrong if?
You have no idea how to cook or clean a pan that's non-stick


Is it wrong if?
You always put yourself first even when your moms sick

Is it wrong if?
You only care to be snobbish

Is it wrong if?
You were unwilling and would not risk
When it all got thick

Is it wrong if?
You reached the end without a synopsis

Is it wrong if?
You put things into the air that are toxic
And it has an effect on things that are cosmic


Is it wrong if?
You cease to utilize logic
And pollute the waters for life that is aquatic

Is it wrong if?
You failed to stop it
And only wanted the profit inside of your own pocket
With intentions of keeping it all in the closet
Because you were afraid of being honest
And had all ready broken what was promised

When You Were My Snail

I love my snail
From near to far
Sometime's I can see him
Just under the wheel's
Of my car
Though he may sometimes'
Be late,
But it take's so many
To fill a empty plate
I sit by the log
How long must it take
Fore he is fabulous
He taste just like stake
With a little gravy at the side
He is indeed a pleasure
To ever fill my plate
This I just can't hide
Fore-
His promptness just can't
Be denied

P.S.  I AM WAITING FOR YOU BUDDY!

GF

After the Promise

The promptness of his
Forgiveness
Is a magi sty to me
The prospect of his love
Is magic you see
And
The lineage of his love
Which has echoed
Threw the year's
For those who Seth
His hope
There shall be no more
Tears'

Honesty and Promptness Are Required

Uncle Sam demands you file your taxes timely,
no excuses accepted...he will impose a fine; 
don't think of committing the perfect crime...
court appearance and jail time await the sly!


As anyone can see, honesty and promptness are required...
and to save money, you may choose to file your own taxes,
but be aware of the fine print leading to consequences;
is TurboTax the answer? Don't trust it, you may be fined!


Ask for an extension? Isn't it quite costly?
Can you pay on time to avoid the extra fee?
Now, don't make plans to buy an expensive plasma tv,
you willl have a better chance at winning the Lottery!


Heed my advice and do everything legally and expeditiously,
I have done this for forty-three years and never cheated;
I slept at night, and woke up without worrying daily...
reminding myself that honesty and promptness are required!

Happy Birthday, Carolyn

Smiles in the sky come flying your way.
They will arrive just in time singing,
 “Happy Birthday” 
Wings glide on the breeze, gifted among clouds,
Suspended above trees with promptness avowed.
The horizon is bright silhouetting their flight.
Delivering your joy and freeing any plight,
This birthday gift sends smiles your way.
On July 14th straight from heaven’s hallway,
One special wish created just for you.
Granting dreams and happiness without adieu. 
God sends His blessings to you...Happy Birthday!
