Yann Rolland Poet Free verse

procratination

One must know how to procrastinate,
It is necessary to postpone to Friday
What we can do on Monday,
The moon will shine enough,
It must be postponed to Friday,

Do I need this tool,
From this lamp? From this rifle?
The moon will shine tomorrow,

What can I do without worry?
One must know how to taste tea
It must be postponed to Friday,
What we can do on Monday,
One must know how to procrastinate.

William Kelii Kekaula December 8, 2025 at 4:15 PM The present is today’s gift of time; tomorrow is the absence of time that is now part of the past, which leaves procrastinators without a legitimate excuse for exoneration. Nevertheless, your explanations are admirable and quite quaint, which adds authenticity--excellent. Two LD calls interrupted my post.

Line Gauthier November 9, 2025 at 5:08 PM Charming poem, Yann. With age comes laziness I think ~ lack of motivation ~ so yes, I am incorporating more procrastination in my daily routine... I'm not quite sure how happy about it I am though.

Karen Jones October 31, 2025 at 6:03 PM I only procrastinate on things I don't want to do lol. Good one! I like your sense of humor.

Kim Rodrigues October 28, 2025 at 6:18 AM Love it! One young college student was talking about procrastinating. LOL! I’m like, why don’t you just get it done. But still, don’t we all by choice or not. Have some lovely tea, my friend! What is your favorite? Yann Rolland October 31, 2025 at 4:17 PM thanks Kim, will think tomorrow, smiles have a nice week end

Gershon Wolf October 26, 2025 at 9:06 PM I guess procrastination is a whole new subject for me. My mode of operation is 'Do it now; there's no time like the present.' ~ Gershon Yann Rolland October 27, 2025 at 3:32 AM thanks Gershon, your comment meet wisdom and is helpful, i am thinking again wishes

I Am Anaya October 26, 2025 at 9:54 AM Breathe deeply & meditate & the moon will shine differently. It used to be an unflattering word, "don't put it off for tomorrow what you can do today" with a finger pointing at you! I get in my leisure time and enjoy life's offerings. Much to ponder, Yann. Interesting meditations~ Yann Rolland October 26, 2025 at 11:28 AM thank you so much,Anaya for the supportive and enlightening comment, best wishes

Paige Hind October 24, 2025 at 5:56 PM I have this motto sometimes, Yann, too :) The title needs to be "procrastination" just helping out, a little spelling error... enjoyed Paige Hind October 25, 2025 at 8:48 PM Hey. Where it says title, backspace until that line/section is empty- then write the word over again correctly. I am sorry it took me this long to get back to you, Yann. :) Yann Rolland October 25, 2025 at 6:19 PM thanks for helping Joe, i notice my error, how to correct ?
