Parents mold their children just like a pan to a cake
How ever you're instructed gives your life it's shape
What you're taught as a child you will never forget
Understanding the morals of others...
You will have a fit
Down from your failures to your major accomplishments
Learning responsibility on a job to timely paying your rent
Clueless that your parents were preparing you for life
Now you thank them for teaching you what is right
Times that you felt that they were being hard on you
They we're preparing you to always know what to do
Good thing as parents they didn't slack on the job
Raising you to turn into the most laziest slob
The decisions you make reflects off your childhood
Parents are aware that childhood affects adulthood

A bee’s firmly under my bonnet
I detest each Shakespearean sonnet
And any forced rhyme
To me is a crime
I’ve read them and I want to ‘vomet’
I truly don’t like triolet
The laziest form you can bet
Repeat one line thrice
Another line twice
They’re boring, and not an asset!
Some twaddle is written in rhyme
I’ve witnessed a poetic crime
I don’t get it one bit -
(Add a letter to hit)
Though the poet thinks its sublime
The limerick’s my chosen form
Strict syllable count, I’ll conform
Some themes are not pretty
I think they are witty
And humour for me is the norm

Green and red apples
flowers in a ruby vase
Hues shout in stillness
and sweetest blooms, richest red
capture the laziest eye.
Vibrant explosions
in the hushed art museum
where the colors dream
Life frozen in a moment
cause red hearts to beat faster!

The enormously fluffy green-eyed cat loved tonight better than others.
She would sit silently watching the trick-or-treaters and their mothers.
Sometimes to scare a little human, she would open her laziest eye.
And stare them into scared silence, sometimes summoning a tiny sigh.
They would be mesmerized by her mystical power, and keep it quiet.
If you are not a magical fluffy green-eyed cat, you dare not try it.
She sits at the far side of the porch, away from jack-o-lantern’s light.
Scaring tiny children into stupefied silence on Halloween night.
I know about this cat, for I was one of those children she used to scare.
But when I got older, I became a witch, and rode a broom in the air.
The old witch died. Because I had impressed her, she left me this cat.
She is all about Halloween, appearing every year next to my witch hat.

In this craziest time
in mid summer,
Let’s say…
(Owl, the craziest,
laziest, the oldest,
begins his sonorous hoot;
the others: old, young, men
and women,
with their left palm
on their chest, repeat.)
Let’s say high,
to Mother Earth’s
all sons and daughters,
whose existence
we didn't see
(for we do our ward
rounds only at night),
we didn’t care,
we couldn’t respect --
(the word sounds
so sonorous, ambiguous)
Let’s say high,
kneeling down,
weeping, lamenting,
waving
green flags,
(the emblem of peace)
praying …
“Give us,
just one chance more
to learn and live”.
Let’s say high,
pray and pledge,
palm on our lungs,
kneeling down.
Let’s say
high and loud,
“Allow us to live
as tenants, at least”.

I was not born with name
My hand writes poem without theme
A novel without a tittle
A play without any character
A letter without address
A film without action
This is a free style
I was born with computer
where we write as it please us
A poem without stanza
A novel with no sentence
A play without scene
A letter with no message
A film without visual
I am not Shakespeare
you will never read in meter
I am not Wordworth
you will never hear rhyme
I am not John Donne
you cant get love and religious themes
I am a modern poet
you will get nonsense
I am the best bard
that enjoys excess licence
Any sentence i put on paper
should be call a proverb.
I am the laziest poet
that write fallacy in feeling
I will die with no legacy
I will never dream of nobel prize
nor will ANA award comes into my mind
My arts are for only This century
no one will remember my name
This is a free-style.

"Writin' with no rhyme is like
peanut butter without jelly."
Livin' life with your shoes on
means your feet get damp and smelly.
Workin' without A/C and
you got a melted choc'lit bar.
Puttin' her in the freezer,
somehow don't get her back to par.
Underneath our back porch lies
the laziest dog on God's green earth.
Nothin' like a dog that hides
unless she's givin' birth.
Reason A. Poteet
The first two lines are from my own experience. The rest
is based on the character, Jase Robertson from Duck Dynasty

It is the laziest of all creatures,
It could eat and eat filet all the day long.
Investigative eyes is a feature,
And it will sing to you its forlorn song.
It will avoid you like the plague by day,
Skulking, running, bounding, from room to room.
By night it searches through the halls for its prey,
The hunted will meet its impending doom.
The whisper of whiskers against the door,
Tip-toe, pitter-patter, sneakily creeps.
All at once bounding across the floor,
Whoosh goes the paw across the mouse hole deep.
“Drat!” says the cat, missed the mark once again,
Once more the mouse hunt will have to begin.

the day is trivial
the night is tranquil.
all critters crawl out
of corners in
the dark
awake is being alive,
solitude is harmonious.
I woke my dog up, he stared up with
the laziest eyes, fighting to keep them
open
like he might miss something.
all the freaks poke around
at night
life is ample,
even when I am
alone,
in a room
or crowded in a bar
insomnia slithers
through your spine,
just laying
motionless.
with a circus playing
behind the curtain,
so deceiving to be a
puritan
to the religion of money
just give me a couch,
...maybe a few books.
and paper to portray
my mind

BIRDS
B reathless each day the winged ones burst and unite into the twilight frieze--
I s there a more delicate touch to the sight than the songbirds as they take to the sky?
R eveling while entwined with the tailwinds-- delighting the indigo breeze,
D ashing on the last rays of sun to nip the laziest mosquito on the fly --
S ong of the satisfied sung—they fade into the welcoming night bosom of the trees.

computers have
no children to feed
or rent to pay
or place to sleep
machines don't buy food
or wear clothes
or go to concerts or plays
i've never seen an invention
go on vacation
or put money in a church
metal and wood
they use to help us work
what happened to the flow
of life giving blood of our world
is it somewhere in a bank
somewhere in gold
the laziest thing on earth
metal and cold
no feelings about christmas
or people that's cold
value? all it is, is a number
it's not feeding anyone
but taking us under
if the gold don't start moving
we'll have a communist revolt
kill all the rich men
and take their gold
their machines
their inventions
their contracts
their polititions
and their souls
to places the sun don't shine

Have you heard about that flirt Nellie?
Why, sure – she’s having an affair with the cook at the deli!
Have you heard about that slacker Bob?
Uh-huh – he got fired because he was the laziest guy on the job!
(Laughter)
Have you seen Mrs Miller’s kitty?
Oh, my – it’s the ugliest cat in the city!
Have you seen the new lifeguard Dan?
Of course – there’s nothing on Earth faker than his fake tan!
(Muffled giggles)
Do you know that guy with the nose ring, Shawn?

Do you know about Dawn?
Sure – she dumped her fiancé to be with Shawn!
(Disgusted grunts)
Where there are women, there is gossip.
As a person, as a man, I cannot tolerate them anymore.
By the way, have you heard about Ella, Beth and Call?
Well, I’m going to fire them all!
