Just Biding Time
It’s so cold this morning
On Wednesday the 1st of June
Im so happy in my warm bed
In my cosy, snug cocoon
I just can’t bring myself to get up
So I will write a little poem
Biding some extra time
Until my blood starts a flowing
So this poem is solely to bide time
Until I am brave enough to

Biding Time
how my hands long
to caress the curves
of your face
your body
your heart
your soul

Why I'M Biding My Time - In Trumps Own Words
You may well ask where am I,
Am I engaged or fully checked out,
Take a seat, happy to clarify,
Placate your mind, dispel any doubt.
I'm Biding my time and that's not a joke,
Giving the old guy time to implode,
He's senile and tired, befuddled and woke,
Any wires remaining will for sure overload.
The Border is crumbling, COVID runs

The Banshee Was Biding Her Time
The banshee was biding her time
Trying to look like she belonged
At the Scottish wedding
Death found her
And escorted her out
Wrong wedding he cautioned her
She was young,
Glad she had saved her wail.

Biding Time
Biding time with hopes that our frigid winter,
Filled with dismal bitter, cold-numbing ways, quick
Warms its heart, unfreezes as ice melts, moaning,
Time for spring cleaning!

Biding Time
Cliché's about waiting annoy me.
Virtuous people are not always patient.
Long ago I learned that ranting
does not make the hands of a clock
wash its face more quickly.
I wait for the rain, then wait for it to pass. I could
twiddle my thumbs, twirl my hair, and roll my eyes,
but nothing will happen until it's meant

After Biding You Farewell
After biding you farewell
I raised my hopes and assured my thoughts
That I would see you again
I stood on my feet strong enough to carry
on
I faced the endless journey of my life
I set the past aside except your name
Ringing melodiouse bells in my head
I went away with it
Unsettled in some city
I kept your shadow right

Biding
Fear is the encasing that you live in,
Hiding in the refuge of your mind.
Come and take my hand that is within
Hearts that live a lie and where you’ll find
Hiding in the refuge of your mind,
Prying eyes of the Unknown, home to
Hearts that live a lie and where you’ll find
Hollow words with lies ever so see-through.
Prying

Biding Its Time
She's just turned six year old and so
Her baby teeth are primed to go.
But one, reluctant to vamoose,
Just hangs in there, relaxed and loose.
Our Amy doesn't seem to mind.
She is not the conceited kind,
And has more things to think about
Than a laggard tooth that won't fall out.
If you chance to see beguiling grin
With a

Biding Time
In the old days, the sting of the pavement
Would cushion our bones while we ran
We'd tread the water until the waves meant
Nothing but curves and a pension plan
The clock would watch our eyes shift
From youthful mass to wrinkled mist
While seas of green rattled our feet
And blindness took hold of all we could see
With ebullient eyes
