Duties Poems | Examples

analyzing the dynamics of social interactions

a fear of commitment
 or fear of marriage 
exuberant, swinging
and downright unapoligetic
he calls music
 the woman he always
In every genre she still wishes
to be pleased
even we you disagree
even when she refuses to inspire
even when others don't hear
what your hearing
a little adive
they right people
to tool that htaang
getting it where
you know it should be
when my mind refuses to
be kind to me
and I don't know my way
it's right and real to me
to find the right things to say
put my name on this one
I'd stand pround to brag on this
that's sweet in the right places
and tart enough to kiss
that's how it should be
we gonna do it how it is
not scared of the rejections
that won't make me mad
Listen to the music
switch up a swing
let the musician be musicians
and let the singers sing

Bésame Mucho 
inspirational Gooiness

the makings of

Premium MemberWifey Duties

White wine and dine me then
If you want to be my only man
Feed my ego flowers like red roses
Enter my heart door it never closes
You know this about me so esteem

Do let me kiss you there
Under over inside brown bare
Thoughts as you glide hearts sing
If you are serious make it a ruby ring
Electric touch is making me high
So in love with you chocolate guy

Custodial Duties

Plastic black tires roll over brown and yellow
sand. A little boy pushes his toy dump truck

across the beach. He’s collecting seashells.
as he passes, I chance a look into the back

of his trunk, trying to catch a glimpse of 
the beautiful haul. In its back were all the

ugliest black and white shells you’ve ever
seen. I couldn’t admire the beauty of those

shells but I am still in awe of the purity
of that kid’s soul–cleaning the beach 

of all the ugly shells and leaving pink
and yellow beauties for the rest of us

lazy collectors.

Premium MemberDaily Duties

middle aged and middle class
driving way too fast
on country lanes

drop the kid at school
group yoga then the pool 
prosecco and wealth envy over lunch

on to a manicure and then hair
(you won’t believe who I saw there)
send conspiratorial text or two; update facebook

get some vino, and the kid - shoot back home 
knock back another glass of wine;
have a gossip on the phone

revving engine on the driveway: dinner’s bell
pour a cobra; grab a takeout menu
domestic bliss? suburban hell?

Premium MemberDuties of the Pope

In addition in relating to submission 
Obedience
Catholics are bound to support the Pope with our prayers
Also with financial contributions as appropriate 
It is good to remember that the fervent prayers of the Church were being offered for St. Peter
The first Pope
While he was bound in chains before his subsequent rescue by an angel
The papacy can be a great burden to the Pope and we should support him daily with our prayers

Premium MemberDo Your Duties

Don't deviate, determine to do your duties as unto the LORD



14th May, 2022



Colossians 3: 22-24 - "Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ."

Premium MemberBellas Cosmic Duties

Bella rides the crescent moon with ease,
a stellar faerie that’s sure to please.
She waits and watches up on high,
every star that passes her by.

With ebony wings she is a sight,
resting upon that silvery light.
Tiny stars pass and say “hello”;
Bella’s thrilled with their light show.

To her duty, she’s dedicated,
ensuring the heavens are decorated;
with plenty of stars to wish upon,
she is a necessary, cosmic liason.

Every child born ‘neath those gleaming lights,
can dream of reaching the highest heights.
Bella keeps the stars well-dusted,
crystalline entities, quartz-encrusted.

So children can spot them any night,
that wishes might be fulfilled just right;
Bella knows the value of childhood dreams
and how like the stars they all gleam.

Doing Duties

Brisk winter air has settled in
I venture into my back yard
Grab a rake and pile up leaves
To be burned, with disregard

As I set torch to said fallen
I reflect on a job well done
Something assuredly needed
Now who's the responsible one?

Holiday spirit surrounds me
Bundled up in my attire
I feel the warmth, I see the glow
Oh no! My pants are on fire!

Premium MemberAll Souls Have Their Duties

The phoenix arises;
New life from fiery flames;
Restored ashes take flight.
A great reminder that,
Death is not in control;
Instead life continues.

Transformational,
We reincarnate;
First soul to body,
To soul once again;
After life classes,

Build our knowledge;
Provide wisdom,
For eternal
Duties we’ll do.

No soul gets
A free ride;
They must do

As they
Are told;

Souls.

Duties

If you're alive, accept the ups and downs of life
As an infant accepts its new name
Live knowing life is two faced a coin.

If you're married, relate as tongue and teeth
Always forgiving 
And to your companion in all a weather stick
As a Zebra and her stripes
Two beings in one soul.

If you're a teacher, your low pay accept
As a dog a jawbone from his master accepts
Always scorned as a bus driver
But passengers in care their endpoints reaching 
Teach the world to a star's worthy.

If you're a preacher,
The good news far and wide
Spread!
As the hurricane brutally blowing
Sin’s roots uprooting
And where possible, your mouth open.

Duties End

At the window where I sit and stare
I see a soldier walking bare
He’s face is wrinkled and full of doubt
“Stop the war!” I stand up and shout
Still he marches on to duties end
My message of guilt I shall send
But he can not hear my selfish cries
As he wipes his tears and dries his eyes
Still he marches on to duties end
I yell and tell him “I’m not a friend”
Yet he cleans his riffle and points it toward the sky
Several shots are fired not knowing why
Still he marches on to duties end
With smells of death his country he must defend
Yet at the window looking through
The soldier now sits cold with his meal overdue
Still he marches on to duties end
As he struggles with war and wants to amend
Lonely soldier now standing still
Amongst the mist and daffodil
He has now reached his duties end
Its time to lay down its time to mend
The soldier has not moved since he lay down
As I look through my window I now have a frown.

Stationary Duties

A stationary front has no movement, slothed humans has no inspired movement.

Middle age humans ignore the duty, everyday has a newlywed duty.
