Best Unhurriedly Poems


The Kiss At the Tor
My soul was on fire, as I entered the wood
By the old rusty gate, which silently stood
Absorbing history, making no choice
Passing no judgement, adding no voice

The rough ancient path, veined with roots
To test my step, or scuff my boots
Unhurriedly followed the line of the brook
But...

Another Day In Africa
In Africa another day is born
At dawn
The optimist awakes
To a world that’s bright with receding night
Hope and promise of things new
A world where dreams come true

In Africa another day is done
At dusk with setting sun
The pessimist seems right
In the fading light 
Of yet another day
Where...

Winds of Fate
Push me against my back, hit in my face,
like any wind you’re elemental and erratic.
Give me a licking or unhurriedly caress,
play hide-and-seek – a child in father’s jacket. 

Not telling me what winds await ahead –
dead calm, strong gale, dry hot or boreas. 
As the...

Premium Member Love Under the Sun
The sun-birds seem endlessly twitter
Rue not the day I love you
Up there the leaves quiver lively greener
The ripples unhurriedly caress the bank of a river 
Haul me with pleasant shiver of being stuck on you
For the sun and the birds are there
Up-and-down I know with...

The Titanic Ship, Relationship, Or Hardship
Relation next relationships are on par with a hardship 
Entirely relationships are analogous to the April 15th, 1912 Titanic ship 
It’s stunning how the body is motionless although The Relationships of Love turn acrobatic flips  
The Tom & Jerry show, Chasing Love you’ll injure...

Champions Within Glass Backed Walls
Within the glass backed walls of the  squash courts, ....

Eager junior players are busy getting into their strides..
In small groups of 4 to 6, they are seeking to earn their stripes..
Religiously undergoing punishing  regimes while in training...
Perfecting skills and flair to better perform...

The Kiss At the Tor - Full Version
Notes: Part 1 of The kiss at the tor was the first poem I ever posted on the Soup.
Some time later, my life changed and I was moved to write an alternative version.
I always thought I had posted the second part as a separate poem...

Premium Member The Hearse
A foul breath of misty, cold, damp air
brushed across my cheek, caressing hair;
then, unhurriedly, around neckline
while slinking languidly down my spine,
which shivered at that, and eerie sound;
of a four-beat rhythm; shod hooves on ground.
Unearthly screams from deep dark shadows;
the murderous caws of old black crows
disturbed...

Petition
Petition

We animals and after mature cogitation
Enunciate bury the hatchet and in peace abide
To the law of the jungle oppose our deprivation
Terminate the masquerade and nature commodities equally divide

Confide to pathetic humans the charge
To their lust grotesque for power leverage
Revamp hostility to supremacy attain
Ignoramus jackasses seeking...

Just Magic
With a sleight of hand and a sparkle of light,
Our magic effortlessly evades every mortal’s site.
Incantations and chanting tongue incessantly flowing
Most are absolutely bewitched without ever knowing.

Sentiments of excitement weakness, and even awe.
Wonderment befalls all gape with an open jaw.
Tapping the wand and gesturing a...

The Consuming Foe
Adamu is missing here
He went a road all mortals go
Silence grace the missing space 
Igniting our heart throb

Unhurriedly death dragged air
Out of his craving nostrils
Leaving a speechless mould
For he tested positive
He had the consuming virus.

See Adamu,
Stiff, benumbed and deaf to comrade's call
Flying into a plane
From...

River
A tiny little stream flows so very peacefully on its long meandering, rippling way,
Trees along long grassy flowered banks, where birds sing songs and children play,
Then, as by magic, trough the dark green summer leaves, the sunlit gold rods fall,
And beautiful ducks and geese glide...

I Am Stone
I am stone kicked about on a grassy path,
boots stomping unhurriedly find their mark in me,
the owner seems lost in thought -
but the boots keep kicking me accurately,
I drift as in a dream, if stones can dream.

The last kick has sent me flying
right into some...
