Best Hurried Poems

The delayed train rolled into the train station
A single coach would carry their consternation!
The London underground maze
Hurried into the rat race craze
The engineer forgot the rest of his locomotion!

Hit return or hit the gas; either way will do.
 
Unrelenting is the mantra that I've subscribed to.

Racing every moment, even during sandman’s quest.

Really, I’m not kidding; day and night I feel so pressed!

Idleness deceives me behind his simple mask

Exactly what was my goal when...

Once again we find the holidays upon us
Earlier and earlier we simply confess
     Thanksgiving's not here
     Retailers do sneer
Such is the life of commercial excess...

Hurried!
Slippery Time
Let's loose paranoia,
With withering walls a-tumbling

Armageddon wold be an amazing boon
to accompany ourselves amidst others in rubble strewn cocoon 
or perchance an arid extra dry spell blows humungous dune
donning any brave soul to weather 
   fierce-some dust bowl appearing like a ghoulish goon

Come in and type practical side urges me
I laugh my petootsie off
IT'S TIME!  Type A screams in my ear
I roll my eyes in disgust at being pressured

Do you run through each day on the fly?
When you ask, “How are you?”
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done,
Do you lie in your bed,
With the next hundred chores,
Running through your head?

You'd better slow down!
Don't dance so fast!

Through the funnel of time, we are hurried like the wind - it doesn't stop to whisper,
Life, swift and silent, flows in rivers of liquid sand.
With each fleeting moment, the profound avoids us, camouflages itself - it doesn't speak,

I love reading clever novels by the light of the moon.
It is what I always do because it delights me so.
I am not easily hurried, by a tide, calendar or loon.
I can read words over and over in the soft moon’s glow.

she sings so softly
beside this balcony
the heart of my niger –
ah, she weeps her freshness
thru the age-long depths
of the sea & young birds   
by their cheerful nests
echo her lustrous songs

she is like our dove
she breathes some new life
into hearts full of strife -

A thought passed from one mind on to another.
The guarded locks clearly had been broken.
A passage to enchantment was uncovered.
But priceless words of love remained unspoken.
