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.

Darren White Date: 9/27/2017 5:02:00 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.

As much as we all wish it wasn't so! :)

Dale Gregory Cozart Date: 9/25/2017 4:19:00 PM Of course you are right, but God only know what the sponsor is thinking(or if they are). Login to Reply Lin Lane Date: 9/25/2017 4:29:00 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 Date: 9/25/2017 4:24:00 PM I will sit on my fingers and not reply Dale lol lol lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Jan Allison Date: 9/25/2017 3:57:00 PM ha ha ha Lin this could apply to so many people I know lol:-) hugs jan xx Login to Reply Lin Lane Date: 9/25/2017 4:28:00 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 Date: 9/25/2017 3:30:00 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. Login to Reply Arthur Vaso Date: 9/25/2017 5:17:00 PM Well I am Einstein!!!!!! :) Lin Lane Date: 9/25/2017 3:33:00 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.
