Best Appointment Poems

Dear Lord, I’d love to meet you. I’ll just check my diary now
To see when it’s convenient, so I can squeeze you in somehow.
Oh dear, it seems on Monday night I won’t be free.
I’ve made a new acquaintance, who has invited me for tea.
On Tuesday,...

I turned to my wife
With desire in my eyes
And my loins a little disjointed
Forestalling sin,
She asked with no grin,
¨Kind sir, do you have an appointment?¨

You'll need to make an appointment
If you wanna have a shot at love

I was having a chat
With a sweet bureaucrat
Whose curves...

Jack came to the strangest conclusion,
which was: Time's an illusion.
He turned up very late
to each appointment and date 
till the day of his very own funeral....

Beads of sweat
On my head
Sodden and sore
In my sick bed
The last battle lost
Can’t fight anymore
As I lay dying on the 44th floor
 
The elevator makes
A slow ascent
Something inside
With just one intent
Air cools I am chilled
Right to the core
As I lay dying on the 44th floor

As days go, this one has started out as a bummer
Missed a doctor's appointment with Kim, she's a hummer
Not a good day for sure
My mood is quite poor
Maybe my P-Soup friends will change the colour

Divine Appointment
Sometimes you meet, 
someone that you are supposed to meet.
Walking on a path in a strange city.
A divine appointment.
Someone who needs to bare their soul,
Who needs to share a prayer!
A friend you haven’t met is waiting there for you.
Looking for answers
That only you can...

Sitting in the car park, full of dismay
looking at signs that says pay and display
another long journey to hospital
good news we hope, essential so vital,

Visitors, patients looking for relief 
some with hope in their heart, some full of grief,
nurses, doctors starting, finishing shifts
people possessing very...

I can’t avoid the dentist
Though I really wish I could
‘Cause once I’m in that chair I know
He’s up to nothing good.

Of course, it’s for my benefit
But man, it’s so unpleasant
That being told I didn’t have to go
Would be a present.

The poking and the prodding,
The drill...

So, Yang,
who would you like to meet
your psychotropic doctor today?

[no answer]

I'm hoping Princess Yang
will speak with us today,
because she is my favorite,
I must confess
this PositivEnergy bias
for conserving nutritional activities,
nurturing co-relationships,
cooperative ZeroZone centering balance.

Hi,
I'm Princess Yang,
and Princesses are always kind
and never declare wars
and threats against
all the...

a day like
any other
day but X
on the monthly
photos of Mount
Fuji calender says
different

as circus
clowns with
painted smiles
juggle the day's
events for this yes
undecidedly different
day of days

finding myself
driving in non gps
directions but calmly
listening to piano waltz
variations on this very one
can only say variant day of 
days

then not
a sign of...

Women at the beauty parlor wear tin foil on their heads.
It makes them look like aliens from the TV shows of the 50’s
In a contest for space woman of the day
They wear fleece pajama pants too,
And their faces are pierced.
None care what they look like.
Few...

Had to get some blood work
As my doctor did demand
So I walked up to the lab
With my appointment in my hand.

A few were there before me
As we checked in one by one.
They would text when they were ready;
I could wait out in the sun.

My cell...

Just twenty-five years ago
The Lord Jesus I came to know-
T'was then,born anew
I met the man,who had paid my due;
Answering questions of my enquiring mind,
With such patience of the loving kind-
Each day I celebrate with love ,and
Thanksgiving to God
