Best Pace Poems

Tik Tok Lost Its Pace

When you turned, I got a glimpse of your face,
And then time stopped for me, though you moved ahead...
When I resumed from there of that moment,
It's the playful thoughts only retained and it was so pleasant.....


Now that I'm recalling that moment,
giving...

You say you've seen it all
but your not even close. 
There's always more
twists and turns, ironic endings
to the comedy and horror show-
Given time, life will stomp the mind
you've only seen a vignette of its grit and grind
Fortunes can change slow and steady like the tide
or...

Quickened Pace
~~~~~~~~~~~
In the day rapidly approaching
a rapture of which there shall be no more…
of parasitic encroaching
the minds of men
bent on sin…
“Love wins!”

I have read 
from beginning to end
the books of many men’s sins
Their concepts galore, human explore
inept are many books of madness
cause of lives of...

Ominously, in the east, do the cursed war clouds gather.
Young men, in ignorance claim, "we are unafraid to die."
Send dispatch riders forth on steeds set to labor and lather.
Ring out wild bells to the wild sky!

Our fathers fathers fathers thought their war would be the...

Meeting you in the court of dawn,
Yes! We played and cried on life’s lawn.

Mutating dreams to reality the task at noon,
Ordering my trembling steps to the moon
Tearing our fate at dusk
Hands of death task
Earth you depart mot my path
Resquicat in pace and in my heart...

“Place this cloak around you and blink six times
You will then hear three chimes
When your body begins to shudder
You’ll be invisible to your own mother!”...

Requiescat in Pace 
Written: by Tom Wright
February 2015

At the outset,
Tears start like dew from a tender leaf,
Then transcend into a torrent;

A mind is a library of thoughts,
Neatly categorized,
Until this contrary wind blew;

Rummaging through past thoughts,
Has left me feeling careworn,
Without experience or wisdom;

As I drift betwixt...

I am leaping 
Bounding
Running
Sprinting
Hurling myself towards the end of the runway
They say I’m moving too fast
That I need to slow down to see the sights
To experience life
To savor the moment
But I can’t.
I can’t slow down
Because I am 
Bounding
Running
Sprinting
Hurling myself towards the end of the runway
So...

Summer
And the city air tastes like a dream
Mirages above sidewalks at eight a.m
The freeway kicks and screams like a spoiled child 
But I won't give in to them
Stress 
It is written on so many faces 
I'm sorry, but I won't be taking their places 
I...

They all lined up for the start of the race.
 The men stayed close behind the leader's pace.
            Although Jane led every mile,

The caramel leaves seem to fall from sky
In waves, as zephyr sings through chimes and eaves
Its song that whispers a fall lullaby
As a gentle rustling wind through autumn leaves

September a time to slow down, be still
Slowly now we have less light_ more dark
A drawing to...

TIME AT PACE

The clock ticks away at random pace
Leaving a day behind for another day
Running at pace like no time to waste
Think ‘Da’ clock ‘N’ Click

The sun shines on us each day
Reminding us to make hay 
For rainy days is here to stay
Think ‘Da’ clock...

Pace Setter

young dog tugging fore
suddenly old dragging aft;
any age, they set pace.


Poem suddenly came to me while walking my 11-year old lab/dane X (labadane) and remembering how he used to pull me along....

*** TOMORROWS ***

These thoughts begin composed
   (“adagio ma non troppo”)
With a happy, a peaceful heart’s tempo,
Assured the nature of 
Imminent or distant tomorrows,
Is woven in vibrant colors to allure
— Very like inspired verses, 
With a soul’s knowing, a soul’s melody…
