Best Speeding Poems


Speeding Ticket
There… he… goes…
speeding down the mountain, 
he’s just enjoying life. 

He just wants to share 
TIME
with his friend.

To his provider’s misfortune,
TIME
varies her lipstic – I mean definition.

His description:
“I was just enjoying MYself,
it wasn’t MY fault.”

Her description:
“But you hurt ME.
What about ME?”

She was furious.
Her insurance rates...

SPEEDING ROCKET

Standing huge and massive on the launch pad, so many tons of power
wait to be primed, one way ticket to the stars, waiting to be launched.
It will circle the planet and then land safely, but it wants to go so much further.
This will be...

Speeding Up
Earth is becoming something different, something more.
For millions of years proto-humans strode its bounties until
*****sapiens arrived. Once here, humans took millennia
incrementally building improving its lot in life. Step by step,
developing new ways of improving, one change building upon another.
Cooking food, better nutrition, better weapons...

Speeding
Speeding!
I didn’t do it; I swear that I didn’t.
The policeman was drunk, I swear that he was.
Then he tried to arrest me, and sure enough he did.
I wish that I’d told him, that I was drunk instead.
I imagine the fine should probably be more,
But I...

Stressed Speeding Up and Rushed
Stressed Speeding Up and Rushed

Everything is speeding up and everyone is rushed,
Fear of criticisms and opinions from others in case the ego is crushed,
Your boss is always on your case,
His words create emotional haste,
People losing jobs in record numbers this year,
Being poor and homeless is...

Premium Member Speeding Mcgee
Officer Murphy was driving along
When the traffic started to slow
So he drove up the side of the road, to the front
To see what impeded the flow 

He saw a car just crawling along
And he waved it off the road 
Then McGee rolled down his window
While...

Death Speeding Down the Rail
death speeding down the rail
 desperate last breaths make appeal
 ‘stead of a dash to the rescue
 speaking volumes
 about values
 camera flashes for
 front page display...

Over-Speeding
my pickup furiously barrels down

and right up the highway crest,

zooming faster


as the dial needle glides downward

to the far right side of my

speedometer;


yeah, over-speeding gives me a sense

of at least going somewhere,

makes me feel better !...

Some Speeding Train
These lines are blurred and the text not clear.
I’ve been waiting here for way too long,
I’ve been waiting for anything that may come.
No way to stop my speeding train-
Better leave the tracks while you still can.
I have begun a sacred journey,
And death runs always through...

Premium Member Small Town Cop
Alternating red and blue, police car siren blaring.
My heart is thumping wildly. I wave and blow him a kiss, 
But he doesn't notice. He is on the job, not caring.
And since I'm driving slowly, a chance meeting I'm going to miss.

Had he wings, he would...

Predator Metaphor
At a spot of roadside, shaded
A predator on the prowl
Concealed itself and waited
for prey to run afoul…

Then, madly, with a dash,
It shot out from the thicket;
Nabbed one prey, in a *flash*
And slapped it with a ticket....

Heavy Right Foot

The clatter of the letter box
And post on the mat
Sends a shudder of fear
So I cuddle the cat
My hand shakes 
And my heart beats fast
I did something wrong
In the recent past
I know they are coming
Handcuffs and fines
Cart me off 
For serious crimes
My foot...
