Last-Minute Sleigh

?? Dashing through the mall,
With a coffee in my hand,
Frantic gift-card haul,
This wasn’t what I planned!
Sales are all but gone,
Shelves are looking bare,
How’d I wait this long again?
This really isn’t fair! ??

Chorus:
Oh, last-minute sleigh,
Rushing all the way,
Why’d I procrastinate?
Now I’ll overpay!
Last-minute sleigh,
Racing through the fray,
Next year I’ll shop early—but
Not today!

?? Amazon won’t ship,
It’s cutting close

Last Minute Poem

I wrote this at the last minute.
You know, 
the minute before, I raced out the door.
I scrawled it out until the paper tore.
The thoughts I wanted to convey
about another hurried, scrambled day.
I spilled and splattered it on the page.
I was Jackson Pollock in a frantic rage.
My muddy, muddled words never tired.
My rutty, riddled will never

Last Minute Mirror Check

I’ve been rushing all day for the rest of my life, because I woke up late and didn’t pack the night before
I haven’t learned how to take things slow and appreciate how sweet molasses tastes falling before it touches my lips
Instead, I weave through traffic as if I could arrive to my destiny any quicker

Last Minute Love

roses are red
violets are not
got off work late
that’s all they’ve got

Last Minute Shopping

Cars are bustlin’ and people are hustlin’,
The avenues are backed up with shoppers
Last minute hunters are getting frantic,
Christmas Eve comes on Friday of this week
One must come prepared for all the panic,
As Impulse buying is on the increase
With buyers getting more and more frantic,
The hubbub will last for another week
The helter-skelter probably won’t stop
And, I’m

On Second Thoughts

And shall this piece of twisted wire
bring me all I could desire,
and will this ugly-looking button
that tears my flesh to shredded mutton,
grant me up there a first-row seat
where heavenly angels come to meet?
Can Heaven in mercy ever cover
my slaying children with their mother?
What of those maids in Paradise?
I yearn for them, but what's the price?
Lo,

Last Minute Changes

If you are going to spring last minute changes on me,
let me know well in advance please.

In the Last Minute of This Midnight Madness

In the last minute of this midnight madness
I said to you the one thing,
The very thing which is the essence
Of fulfillment and emptiness.

Last Minute In Paris

Absorbed in Guernica’s promise Lucifer glanced at Montmatre

Settled his mind on virgins in heaven as Mona Lisa smiled on

One Last Supper tied to a suicide belt he set out to light the church

Of Our Lady and mounted Chagall’s Blue Horse towards The Scream

It was a Starry Night and he wondered how they painted in paradise

Last Minute

The old lady went to the thrift store. 
She found the row of coats, 
and looked for just the right tags. 
The color of the day. 
She bought everyone that she could afford. 
There were nine in all. 
Then she pushed her cart…
toward hats and gloves, boots and shoes. 
Soon enough there was no

Last Minute

I'm just digging myself deeper
Can't stop
Won't stop
Don't stop
Till I get to where you are
Tendrils of smoke
Are they turning into
Strands of red ribbons
Or is that just an illusion
In my head
Want to be his tequila sunrise
Not the first
But want to be the last
The rays of sunlight
Burning in your memory
Ain't perfect
Not the same every time
Ain't perfect
Not the same

Last Minute Shoppers

Getting to the store quick on the double,
their faces look anxious and troubled,
minutes to spare,
pulling out their hair,
caffeine the hustle in their bustle.

The God of the Last Minute

The last minute wonder.
The nick of time saviour. 

At Hells door I lay.

A willing candidate for destruction. 
For I had exhausted my wealth on the acquisition of wild pleasures. 

There His grace found me.

Those amazing hands that dragged me back to life.
That love that fed me with the living waters.
That Jesus that transformed me into

Last-Minute Autumn

 dodoitsu series (rhymed) 

Winter is taking the reins
speeding past days of autumn -
Jack Frost smears the windowpanes
forefingers and thumb.

You who have no house to own,
too proud to seek charity,
you choose your path all alone
that’s a guarantee.

Your attic room, where risks run
rowdy as the eastern winds,
barren refuge while you shun
warmer help from friends.
