Best Lickety Split Poems

L ittle voices, rising in volume and pitch
I mploring teacher, begs all available aids to help pop 
C oats, hats, muffs, mitts, sweaters, gloves, socks, shoes, and boots on 39
K indergarten urchins who are galloping around the room, or jumping on ball

Life is ebbing quickly, …just as the sun must fall.
If we listen close enough, our number will be called.
Can you hear a ticking clock, unwinding in the dark?
Keeping tempo like a train,  that speeds upon a track?
Eyes may never look ahead, and heads will...

Lickety Split

Life is a vessel 
Inside my mind
Creeping along
Knowingly
Elan is over when the sails topple 
The wind ceases
Youth, and lulls old age

Such is the ascent and descent 
Pressing on now in quick montages
Life in its infancy to ending
In a blink of prized tuna and weathered...

Lilacs
In the parks
Cruelly crushed
Killing the pink buds
Eliminating the poetry
Torturing hands rejoicing
Yellow yelling in the panick

Some poets say
Power flowering in
Lickety split in the corridor
In all the starlit lakes and ponds
Totter the tube roses at the capitalist glare

Lickety-split, I sit up and look at the clickety clock,
      oh my gosh, why am I lollygagging in this cozy bed;
I am going to be so late for dance class, I better skedaddle,

Lightning striking a wooden gate
Iridescent rainbow colors that seem to fluctuate
Cheetahs chasing after their prey
King Cobras lunging bite's that can slay
Eyes sending messages to the brain
Twin tornados and torrential falling rain
Your heart beats circulating blood throughout your veins

Speed of light is tops and cannot be...

Laying in my bed all cozy and warm, and
   inside the blankets my kitty cat snores, sweetly
captivating birds sing outside my window, and
      kitty cat pokes her head out and says,   M E O W !
Earsplitting...

	Life is like a runaway train,

	It's journey's speed, you can't restrain.

	Can fill each day with what you please,

	Keep special ones in memories,

	Envision only, future days.

	Timed trip is measured- and relays

	You can't...

Like Speedy Gonzales
Instead of walking through life.. he is
Causing havoc with his racing around.
Knocking everything to the ground.
Each one of us have done this
Trying to be top of whatever we do
Yet we don’t realise, we are hurting you

Slow down my friends ..love life 
Perceive nature,...

Long ago when I was young
I found cycling so much fun.
Climbing hills in fifth gear.
Keeping fit gave so much cheer.
Easily overtaking slower folk.
Teasing all those younger blokes.
Yes, a whiz kid was I.

Sadly age has taken a toll.
Panting now, I'm not so bold.
Lickity split I'm afraid...

Longevity of life 
Involves a great amount of
Courage and requires 
Kindness 
Empathy
Tenderness
Yourself respect

Speed of a lifetime 
Possesses many twists
Leading us down
Interpersonal roads
Till death doth us part.

L ost deep, the woods of tender age,

I feigned to quell my prurient rage ...

C aught amidst a gleam and glower,

K ept 'tween pages, pressed a flower.

E ach new and tragic love was meant

T o supplant that passion, abhorrent,

Y et as those windings wound to...
