Best Time On Your Hands Poems

I see it there watching  us all  " time"
I see it in my mirror and I look away.
Time card punching in, punching out. 
I'm sure you will know everything in time.  
 
The hawk flies at four p.m. every day. 
It's close...

ARE YOU LONELY OR ALONE

ALONE means no-one to rub your feet
Alone means no-one to wash your back
Alone means you laugh at your own
humor and talk to yourself.
Alone means you check yourself in the
Mirror and come to your own conclusions.
Lonely means you miss the presence of...

Precious time on your hands
     n' peace on your brow
Flower of a moment in the eternal hour
    Peace be with me now
       Not a wave breaks

I can buy almost everything I need
All of the essentials, paid with my credentials
Sideline items, and pleasurable travels
Scrumptious food and sweets to fit my mood. 

I do need to borrow some time
Many places to go, when I’m feeling just so
No sales on the windows or...

It is a bad place to be born,
the first breath you breathe
is drawn from dregs of scorn
And you get rolled from day one,
passed around like a bottle of rum
Then they toss you to the curb,
after emptying you when they’re done
You age real quick where I...

Time is the only thing that will survive time.
Friends come and go.
Marriages are made and fail.
Only time shows a person's true colors.
Time is supposedly the thing which heals all wounds.
There is a time for everything under the sun.
Good times.  Bad times.
Too much time on...

The crazier it gets, the less sad it seems. No need to dream about houseboats on rivers so blue, the windmill and standstills of a heart that was true. Down here to nowhere with all this time on your hands. Don’t plan it through the...

I'm getting lost in a trance
claim to fame in taking part of the dance
I kept my slate clean from all evil swing
just to know that you are accepted
we really only get one chance to take part in the dance
by a glance we can walk down...

Boredom
by M. Griswold
03292020

What do you do when you have time on your hands.
When boredom sets in and is fully at your command.
No pressing matters to lead you astray or away.
From this interim of emptiness that is endless all day.

What do you do when you have...

Six billion people on earth
and you're destined to die alone.
At one time you had a murder of friends.
Drinking and blurring the night until the sun made you cry.

Time doesn't matter when you're young,
Youth is a brief balloon ride
through pastel blitzed horizons.
    Then...

If you have time on your hands
and nothing much to do
(no plane to catch or appointments to keep,
perhaps stuck in a small motel room
on-route to nowhere special).

Then allow me to recommend listening to
a Mahler or Bruckner interminable symphony.
Your whole life will unroll before you
yet seem...

There once was a sensitive vicar,
who said, "I'm not one to bicker,
but the peal of that bell,
makes me feel quite unwell,
and plays merry hell with my ticker."

An incensed old soul by the spire,
preaching incense-igniting to the choir,
exclaimed, "There is but one catch,
when striking a match,
don't...

My mind is under new management 
Much like those Boards outside failing restaurant's 
Willing you in to take a 2nd look
But stuck using the same old tired Chef
And worn out Menu

So what's the point of New Management 
If nothing has really changed

Simply a Stay of...
