Best No Time Flat Poems

“Zoloft.” was someone’s loud, quick answer.	
“Yasmin.” I heard, spoke by another.  Huh?		
“Xanax.” Was then offered.						

	While these people shouted, I stared, perplexed.	

“Valium, is inside my pocketbook,							
Unisom, too.  It’s up to you.” said some voice.				

	”Thank you,” I began, “you are all dear,			
	Seems though, I have...

I ran across a recipe book
Called ‘Cuisine For Clientele’,
On the cover was an unchaste cook
Making prosti-soup and broth-el.

On the back it stated that ‘Eating
Is the most human obsession.
Bar for the one that bears repeating;
The world’s oldest profession.’

At first look I was taken aback,
But placed it...

My Name
 

Everyday it’s just the same,
Someone yelling out my name,
In a conversation, a letter, a call,
With the intent of driving me up a wall.
Jeff said this, Jeff said that,
My name is smeared in no time flat.

Some days I think, I’ll just change my name,
Hide...

Pretend Play
 

As the day approaches an early dawn
I watch you playing out in the lawn
With your bulldozer you made a road
For the dump truck with the heavy load
You’re so cute playing out on your own
The greatest pretender I’ve ever known
In your cutoff jeans and...

I looked in awe across the room
it seemed quite empty ~ only her
she must have weighed 300# cured
and ate at will, quite well I'm sure.

What should I do ~ toss at her feet
I was embarrased to a point
my food so given, my friend's treat
Decided then...

I have a scramble on this individual.
He made a dress out of unoriginal.
His capacity to fly was conceived.
It is labeled as the sky has heaved.

In his glove, he hid a weapon.
Rockets raining down from his beckon. 
We passed by as the aircraft flew by.
That was...

Poetry has become an obsession
An accidental  rhyme makes me wonder
How many syllables would that be?
It's something I'm forced to ponder

Pat, Pat, Pat!! What? What are you doing?
Why are you standing in water?
Oh I was, well you said a letter?
You got a letter from your...

Life has lots of give and take;
That’s just where it’s at.
If you ask for favors
Then expect in no time flat,
You’ll find the ball back in your court – 
A simple tit for tat.

Those we’re close to are exempt.
Then a welcome mat
Is always waiting there for...

I walked a while and found a diner,
I was starving and ordered some grub,
the waitress said no food was finer,
I could see cooking grease stored in a tub

I tasted the food she brought to me,
and to my surprise it was really good,
but I wrote her...

He grabs the wheel; his eyes are wild
A reckless danger in this child
That comes from never having suffered loss

He points us down the rocky road
My foot, the gas, or he’d explode
And do his best to launch us into space

I grip the frame and hold it...

Even though it feels somehow 
like you’re already slipping away 
I have to remember to tell myself 
how blessed I am for each day

I love the ways you try so hard
to see the smile I keep 
making up for all the time 
we lost while...

Many times throughout my day
I take time out to get away,

I don't get away physically
My way out most times is mentally,

I like to go way deep in thought
Searching for that perfect spot,

A spot to help me soothe my pain
Where I unwind and release strain,

With my...

You were trained to be independent.
To avoid strangers if you can.
but you had a flat tire so flagged down a man.
He pulls up in a rusted-out truck.
His hands are strong and filthy with dried mud. 
He says fewer words than a haiku poem.
Like an Indy...

You and I were separate beings, at the time when you met me. 
Then I found to my delight, a friendship formed that very night. 
  It’s hard to know, just what could be; if we were working as a team.
   Not...
