Lin Lane Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

That Itchy Finger

Wow, it's a heat seeking missile
Always first to blow the whistle
Amazingly speedy on the draw
Faster than Quick Draw McGraw 

No poem has the chance to linger
Not with that itchy trigger finger

Hurry, hurry,  no time to wait
Gotta get out of the starting gate
But the first to cross the finish line
is always the winner, Einstein.

Joanna Daniel September 29, 2017 at 7:17 AM Awesome thoughts, Lin:)

Darren White September 27, 2017 at 5:02 AM You know Lin? Whatever it is about, it's also that feeling of urge a poet can have when writing a poem that feels like a winner, a definitely great one, already in concept. And then the wish to share it with the world NOW instead of letting it simmer for a while and look at it more objectively later. Arthur Vaso September 27, 2017 at 9:49 PM All seeds one plants, take time, care and love to grow, and there is no shortcut in love or poetry for making things grow! As much as we all wish it wasn't so! :)

Dale Gregory Cozart September 25, 2017 at 4:19 PM Of course you are right, but God only know what the sponsor is thinking(or if they are). Lin Lane September 25, 2017 at 4:29 PM I'm not much for sitting on my fingers, and sometimes I have to slap them to keep from writing something a bit less than subtle. Just writing what's on my mind. Jan Allison September 25, 2017 at 4:24 PM I will sit on my fingers and not reply Dale lol lol lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Jan Allison September 25, 2017 at 3:57 PM ha ha ha Lin this could apply to so many people I know lol:-) hugs jan xx Lin Lane September 25, 2017 at 4:28 PM Oh it applies. You know that saying about the early bird catching the worm....someone is always waiting to catch that bird.

Tim Smith September 25, 2017 at 3:30 PM I know a couple of self-proclaimed Einstein's. Life's too fast as it is. We need to slow down to enjoy all the little nuances. Arthur Vaso September 25, 2017 at 5:17 PM Well I am Einstein!!!!!! :) Lin Lane September 25, 2017 at 3:33 PM Being a self-proclaimed Einstein is the epitome of stupidity. Yes, Tim, I agree that time is moving much too quickly so we need to slow down and take a deep breath.
