Premium MemberDont Be So Hasty to Judge

Moth-eaten hag was a big battle-ax biddy
A hackneyed hag who wandered New York City
Grandam of the alley, a smelly aged fish wife
Aren’t you glad you did not have her kind of life?

Don’t be so hasty to judge, said my friend.
She had cats and companions to the very end.
The homeless took care of her, they loved

Premium MemberDon't Be Hasty


Even if a busy road you are to cross in a hurry,
and you see a school bus flashing the red light,
don’t overlook it, be careful and mindfully wary.
It has the right of way, don’t keep it out of sight.

Let the yellow bus pass you by, you need to stop,
the school children on board, it’s for

Tasty Success Is Never Hasty

A goal may be damn tough
If efforts are wisely increased
You can put to the goal cuff
By wisdom, you will be eased,
To discouragement, turn deaf
Then to help you, God is pleased
Today start, before that, you pray
Say to yourself not to have dismay
Play by solving problems on your way
If success is by you very easily got
It will

Premium MemberDon'T Be Hasty To Wander

We pledged a portion of our lives training ruling,
When is it thriving to mandate and perform?
What do words feign in the theater of living?
Unlike dance, which is an achievement charm.
 
I've barely suffered to forbear a lasting mark,
By betraying these futile sensations on paper,
I realize the purity of the most significant task,
My way of life

Premium MemberNext Time Not So Hasty

Mr. and Mrs. Claus were half of their weight
They had gastric bypass, for they could not wait
Their legs were skinny, their elbows bony now.
No one recognized them, they were not a wow.

They don’t look healthy, the children said.
They look like they are on their way to dead.
We don’t feel that great either said Santa Claus.
Maybe

Premium MemberHasty Conclusions

My friend
Sent me a message
And asked me
To take a look at it!
 
I tore open
The envelope,
Emptied the content,
Spread it on my table

Then, I called my friend
And, yelled at him
‘That Was a blank paper
You sent me…”
 
If only I had turned 
The page over,
I would have seen
What he told me…

That the message
Was on the other side!

Premium MemberHasty Judgments

He was late to school as usual
therefore punished
because he daily fed the street dog
who was famished

Member of Alcoholics Anonymous 
neighbours sneered at his confessions
although his hip flask was empty 
his mission offering hope and inspiration

Frequent cash withdrawals
viewed with suspicion by his wife
whilst he performed small miracles
assisting the needy to rebuild their life

Division of family property

Hasty Shallows Are Leaving the Sky of Baiano

The end of Autumn is still mild
and the majestic Mounts of Partenio
have no trace of snow; lovely Baiano
at its foot is tamed, not wild.

One can spot, looking up with delight,
different colors of lilacs and roses,
lulled by the softest breeze on balconies
and windowsills open to glaring sunlight;
a Verdi aria is sung by a housewife
who is bored,

Premium MemberShe Releases

Kua Cun the price,

Sleeping while she breaths

Slavish grips of “love”

On a “valen” day.

All along allays,

All the thoughts of birth,

And her love enrolls,


With the child make king.


Not the world can stop,

All the feelings now;

For this back is bound,

On this bed of clay.

Time away but all,

Lust called love compels 

Till the arrow struck, 

And from now tis

Premium MemberNo Hasty Seder

When God took us out from Egypt, we left in haste,
Not waiting for our flat bread to rise--no time to waste:
  No time to contemplate the events of the night;
  Just time to leave in a hurry, right after midnight.

No time to count the miracles God had performed
Or to see that to an

Hasty Stew

Whenever you strive to arrive at
What you're asked or tasked to do
You should yearn to learn perfection
Or you'll have a hasty stew

Concentration application 
Assures you aren't bereft
It's most unwanted to be daunted 
For what's right by what is left

Don't worry about the clock
Just revise and then regroup
Turn your pasty hasty stew into
A delightful poetry soup!
