Best Deadline Poems

In a race against time
The clock, my opponent 
Discovering my rhyme
Learning to own it

Trying to reason 
And ration my purpose
Is it gone, my season
My time to flourish

Too frivolous in the past 
The privilege too grand
Youth failed to last
So here I stand

My resume bare
Knowledge below par
Is...

A friend is terminal
yesterday he told me
standing in the parking lot
stunned, I was blank
wordless affection, noble silence
clasped his hand
we wouldn't hug

We weren't that close
still I sunk inside
fear in me, mixed empathy
how close do you need to be
to share lonely moments of humanity
we're all in the...

The Trade Deadline

Every year it seems
sports teams have a trade deadline
I rather be a player not the spectator
so I do not know a lot
but this small thought
of trades made me smile


You see
I just made a trade of my own
I traded 100 acquaintances world wide
in return
I...

The due date approaches; the deadline looms
   Irritation's in the air; annoyance fumes
      A cauldron boils in every newsroom

The tension's palpable; nerves are frayed
   Editors hit the ceiling
      At mistakes never...

GOD’S DEADLINE

I do not understand how God can draw a line
And say once one has crossed it, there is no other time
To come to Him for mercy and know that sins are gone,
And yet I know that somewhere, somehow that line is drawn.
We’re taught that...

Is anybody there behind that lifeless stare 

We are here behind the empty glare 

Do you know where we are now and who you are

We answer your question as one answer from many voices inside

We are dead to your sight yet live more then your...

dilemma would be
watching MSNBC 
hope they heard our plea

when message would send
kidnapping deadline extend
safely reach an end

would read on label
eat safely should be able
when food on table

when school complete
hope that they would save a seat
at a place to eat...

Before deadline ends chirp and cry in nest to be alive.
No desire to be part of a well-define circle yet still afraid to fly.
May not be disclosed the light has last mauve of butterfly made its agonize.
In last breath of soaring grace flames till make...

My goodness the time's really flying by
Nine o'clock and yet no new poems
Get your bum into gear my dear friend Jack
Morning will soon be broken

Try not getting caught with your pants down
Scouts say, “Always Be Prepared”
It's very good strategy for many things in life
Like toilet...

Congestions
Occur in the brain
Pressures and tensions
Workloads and targets
Competitions and expectations
Time limits and deadlines
All contribute to 
A serious spiritual traffic jam
With
No by-pass
No overhead bridge
As life is not as simple
As a traffic jam on the road
We have to pay for every bit of prosperity...

(To the tune of “Jingle Bells”)


Dashing through my tasks,
In a cubicle so tight,
I hear the coffee slosh,
Another deadline fight.

Bells from emails ring,
I can’t ignore the sound,
Oh, what fun it is to sprint
Through tasks that come around!

(Chorus)
Single spells, single spells,
Typing all the way!
Oh, what fun it...

Is okay
Deadline is far away
Not tonight
Not ready for this fight
Nice and slow
I'll do it tomorrow...

A headache is not
Simply healed with a pill
When it happens to be 
A gigantic problem without a solution
A non-ending pile of work accumulating
A deadline without any bonus  of time 
A state of tiredness without a break
And so a headache lingers on
Until a decision is...
