Best Twiddling Your Thumbs Poems
Little Boy LostPoor Little Boy Lost plays a game of peekaboo
Pretending everything in his world is well
Spoiled was his plan for organizing a coup
and now he hopes none of his friends can tell
that he's been evicted as some had predicted
Biding his time, twiddling his thumbs in a...

The Boar of Dumm - a Jabberwocky Parody'Twas later in the afternoon
When the work of the day was done:
Many sat waiting for the moon,
Idly twiddling their thumbs.
'Beware the Boar of Dumm, my son!
The eyes that dull, the yawns that tire,
Beware the slowing steps, do run
Or to great things, you'll not aspire.'
He took...

TwiddlingOkay I am going to write my twiddling poems while I am waiting on God
Is that a word?
I don't care
I am inventing new words if it doesn't fit me
Why does He make you wait forever?
Does anyone know the answer to that?
What could be...

I Live a Limbo At WorkI live in a limbo, wired trance every day,
Hands up in the air at a chair.
Expected to sit, silently screaming inert,
Eyes closed to professional flare.
My life is in limbo, in this office of joy,
An odd circus of administration.
With keys tapping a beautiful tap...

UnfinishedI have yet to walk across the stage
I’ve never journeyed through life unafraid
Bottled up anger, I’ve inhaled all my rage
Still my life resides in the first chapter
I’ve never conquered the courage to turn the page
I’ve never realized my vision, nor obtained my dreams
I settled at...

Dramatic Verse
MastermindAlone twiddling their thumbs,
the chaotic mastermind
sat in eternal quander of why
they never really had any sort of control
at all;
Undisciplined and oblivious
ringing in the air like bells
the mastermind’s thoughts stood clamoring
as he remained locked in silence;
A safety net of disconnect;
Chaotic...

Through the FogThe answer came without a clue.
When I finally made it through.
I didn't know there was a question.
I thought it was just a suggestion.
Now I look back through the fog.
Of yesterday's polluted smog.
With no map to find my way.
To a place that I'd want to stay.
The...

Ballad
All's Well That Ends Well
All the karmic forces came in and settled themselves down upon the fence
As the two parties arrived; with their arms full, of their grounds of defence
The learned judge cleaned his glasses and yawns; he’s seen all this before
As; the jury twiddling their thumbs, adjusting ties,...

InvisibleYou’ve been toeing the line
from the onset
twiddling your thumbs
while you waited your turn
keeping your wobbly chin up
even as gloom piles up and
begins to dampen even
the upper crust
But then fortune prances in
magic wand at hand
to bust wide open the...

The New Enemyhe was looking for a new enemy
for it was the man he hated before
which defined his very being &
in that respect, there was no other
who could possibly take his place---
he searched far and wide, after the last
fight had come to a close---two
young men with...

LordLord….
Thee….
Guide me
Walk my path
Waiting for my bath
Twiddling my thumbs cause I fear me
Yearning for a hut where all those sounds are tapered shut
Please erase such a gut from such controversial rut running from head to toe like smut

Alone AgainAlone Again
Who will see me where I go
I wander alone in this world I know
Strange faces, places, changing tides
Where will I go
Where will I hide
The sun will rise each day, I'm sure
And fade as darkness comes
But me I walk alone again
Looking down and twiddling my...
