Best Habits Poems

HABITS

We wake up in the morning,
Our memory, collecting storing,
The same data over, and over again,	
It becomes entrenched – a habit is due,
What triggers habits, just a simple cue!
We pass a highway that we know well
And put our car into cruise mode, swell,
This is routine, and...

The wise owl watches
  The cunning fox prowls
The lordly lion stalks its prey -- 
  The hapless human stares at a screen...

Got to hold it together, try to keep my cool, 
Even when dealing, with imbecilic fools,
Should know better, but they freak me out,
When in the wrong, they just scream and shout,

My problem is, I won’t back down,
Especially if right, and dealing with clowns,
Should I be...

There's one thing I've noticed about rabbits

   And that's their very prolific habits

      Their birth rate they could reduce

         Should Brer Hare Cease to seduce

Due to their very prolific habits

   My property is teeming with rabbits

      There are cotton tails galore

         So many I can't keep score

Sitting next to a person whose breath stinks,
is it alcohol or lack of oral hygiene...
never mind what that person thinks:
excessive drinking is not a medicine!


Waiting for the bus that
runs on a Sunday schedule is tormenting misery,
and worse, standing next
to a smoker who has little consideration...

I am me!

I am beautiful greediest me!

I'm quite simply gigantic, enormous, colossal- bigantic!

I'm huge I'm not small I could fill Albert hall -

What a beautiful thing to be me.

 

I can eat a cake shop in one sitting

Forty boxes of chocs without quitting,

If I had...

BAD HABITS

I never use to drink, never before / never use to smoke, ever before. Kept your company too long, you led me into the den of sin, I got hooked while trying to save you from yourself, now myself alone has nasty habits. Your...

My lungs are black but my heart is pure
My hair is thin and falling out in the wrong places
At this point my days to live are measured with an hour glass 
The size of the smallest taxa 
My memory is a bank of a hundred...

Habits are hard to break
Makes no difference good or bad,
Entrenched, they problems make
When problems, make us sad.

Habits steal our freedom
Got to find time to indulge them,
Make us believe we need ‘em
Even when hacking up phlegm!

Habits at Dawn   (Collaboration Contest)

by~ Catie Lindsey

Everything eventually dies
in long hours of neglect
and what remains is not what you think
nor what you suspect.
Guarded safely forty fathoms below
where little white lies and evil intent
cannot swim the bustling tide
of the things strong men invent.
Cruelty in...

Ask my parents. They’ll tell you, my favorite phrase, growing up was, “I can do it all by myself.” One day, I sat, spinning the top of my Flintstones vitamin bottle, wondering, how many spins until this thing opens. My mom insisted that she help....

New clothes new habits
That leaves the receptacle no deficits

And they gone to school with guts
Ask them megabytes, gigabytes

Why drain sooner until the last mourner
Find them in junctions, saloons in any corner

New clothes new habits
Kind of magnetism visits

Downstairs as with the parachute
Have you anyone who would...

A true angel removes your mask
Seems to be her task
Digs  into your belief system some more
Asks how you gained your values, core

I am a creature of habits old
A product of my experiences untold
A book easily read
Raised on biases instead...
