Best Nitpicking Poems

We act.
Rationally or irrationally,
logically or at random,
often intuitively.
Wise is he who considers first
the consequences of his actions.
For we do fashion our destiny,
like it or not.  Then we complain,
a futility of whining,
nitpicking trivialities
fashioned by our own hand.
We oft do wrong:
For which we pay.
Then
we blame our...

The Ruba’iyat of Créteil Lake – Part Three

Note:  I do hope it’s clear to readers by now that – strictly speaking – in these ruba’iyat, I deviate from the original Persian medieval model, introduced by Rudaki in Ghazna, in that I do away with...

Hungry for munchies, on his way to the lunchroom, 
a rambunctious, persnickety,“fuss-budget”, elderly
jittery, fidgety, geezer, named Cassidy…
whose questionable dexterity, aghast by a massive sneeze,
teeter-tottered precariously. 
at the edge of the thingamajig, ...jigging one way, jagging the other!

Minding his own beeswax, without any rigmarole, 
topsy-turvy on...

Jeopardy of love's jasmines
Attitude threatens the petals 
Stable and sweet one moment
Miserable the next
Inner insecurities
Nitpicking on trivialities 
Ectacy of passion yet resets 
Smoothly falling in amorous lap.....

Bad evils are flying in my stomach.
Inferno is burning out and reaching its  apex in my heart.
My nitpicking mind is calculating the pain of my innocent soul.
The devil is dancing on my head and making me untamed.

Shadows of my inside evil is blocking the...

Have you ever felt like you were wasting your time
Like knowledge doesn't matter
Like understanding is overrated
You have no gold spoon & no silver platter
Going through school is only for the wealthy
Even though the middle class join in the hunt
Too poor to actually go anywhere
Yet too...

I wallow in self-hate pitifully often
Nitpicking every single flaw I have 
But sometimes when I observe myself
From outside my body
I admire myself 
My sturdy vessel that is covered in scars
Child birthing hips
Capable of recreation
Eyes filled with golden nectar
A heart that is home to many 
I’m...

I woke up to the sound of the keyboard clicking
I went ahead and arose and I'm not nitpicking

It wasn't long after that a friend of mine called
I'm glad we have things such as phones installed

We talked awhile concerning my poetry and reactions
I was worried hence...

Anyone can work a camera,
the ability to shoot and click.

It's another thing entirely
to find the shots no one takes.

The angle, to find beauty 
in the ordinary.

To look beyond the surface
and see the entire shot.

Ye we act the same way 
with people.
From mere acquaintances
to significant others.

To...

Take it to the limit
If you must
Do a dance,
Show your stance,
Make a fuss.

Jump about
Scream and shout
Go ahead
Let it out...

Take it to the limit, if you must.

Hurry Up
We're awaiting the show
Tell us all
What we need to know
Time's a ticking...
Don't stop kicking or
Nitpicking.

Anyhow..

Gotta go... 
Enjoyed the show,
Take...

it’s exasperating and makes my stomach churn
there’s a brand new prejudice at every turn
looking at others out of the corner of our eye
all this nitpicking to try and find fault on the fly
this pointless bickering has been going on for years
people with floppy ears or...

Who will make a move first.
The world of chess is in the courts.
Can we really give an appeal and pay our lawyer for trust.
It’s your move Bobby Fisher, I mean the judge. Which side are you on?
Nitpicking the evidence but he won’t budge. Now we...

Working

Don’t like working 
‘Cause it’s really such a bore.
Don’t like meeting deadlines,
‘Cause they’re really such a chore.
Don’t like attending meetings all day long,
Since you just sit and talk for hours in a stuffy, dark room.
Don’t like pitching in and helping others with their tasks,
When I...
