Premium Member The Wedding Cake

It is an important cake that I had to bake with out a rake so that it would be 
real   It has a special filling that the groom himself requested and has not been 
tested  a flavor that is also a favorite of mine no matter where I dine even with fine punch  It must not even come close to being dropped nor even flipped 

  It is a family specialty both with and with out the decorations with not one 
splotch not one drop of scotch although my watch seems to have been some 
how misplaced plus every step retraced although perhaps it’s in the van with the 
pans of sandy ham  maybe even on the can of Pam- wherever it is I can not put 
down the cake to look

 My book when last seen was next to the cake which was nowhere near the 
hooks my watch may have been there too when I was using my decorating tools 
with out boos but wherever my watch happens to be I am grateful I have not run 
into any yellow bees  I hope I am not late regardless of the fee because I have to 
make a delivery even if for free

 Well whatever the time even if I only get a few dimes and limes this is a 
special occasion   so this better be the right destination regardless of 
instantaneous regeneration of plants with out procrastination or any kind of 
hesitation despite some close calls that would make it   resemble the leaning 
tower of Italy here comes the wedding cake!

Premium Member I Breathe Pure Life

Catch the sound of green petals 
 echo the thoughts of my mind 
  left with a weak feeling 
 while gently waving your thumb 
 lack of procrastination 
 Amadeus Theme 
 with its complex dynamics

The nightingale was full of happiness 
 in the sound of the melody wind 
 The azure sky glitters 
 got into me with their lyrics

Michael Cheval is a modern artist noted for his "Absurdist" paintings, sketches, and portraits. Cheval's art is a mystery. His artwork's title and graphics include hints of its secret significance. According to him, absurdity is the opposite of rationality. It's neither surrealist nor subliminal. His metaphorical art takes a trained eye to identify hidden allusions.

Premium Member Stupor

Life has a meaning if you wake up from stupor

Procrastination will not help you achieve goal

days pass, years waste away, making you a loser

wake up before time takes a worst turn, death bells toll


When there was nothing there was God who created

A beautiful and pristine world for man to live

Be a vicegerent and protect the ill-treated

To be kind towards all to forget and forgive


Work to live, live to work is a motto well served

Stupor belongs to the Devil, fans his ego

Some rest after a day's hard work is well-deserved

Work without required sleep results in vertigo


So, wake up from ever deadly stupor my friend

Take up unfinished tasks to give meaning to life

It's never too late for an evil soul to mend

If not, words of evil and slander will be rife

Premium Member Running Through Hell

Like procrastination, stagnation
and its constipated nature is like
a high hurdle before the finish line—
a pregnant thief waiting to trounce you.

Life’s like a race running through hell
and through its trials and tribulations,
we must keep running—for if we stop
we will surely burn in the fires of their hell.

With eyes on the prize, faith in God,
belief in self, keep running children;
otherwise, you’ll fail to make it through
the fires of hell being stoked around you.

 As you live and strive to do so, be aware
of the trumped-up hell around you.
Look, listen, and know—but don’t you stop!
The fires of defeat are burning—don’t stop!

Premium Member preoccupied

It’s Monday - again - every time I look around,
it seems like it’s Monday again.

Weekdays I run on snark and caffeine.
If I seem preoccupied.. 
I’m not ignoring you, I’m buffering

My playlists soothe and understand me
I’m not ignoring you, I’m reorganizing a playlist.

My mood is linked to Wi-Fi strength.
I’m not ignoring you, I’m doom scrolling.

On weekends, we put the ‘pro’ in procrastination
we take the celibacy out of celebration
and work on our romantic cardio

Sometimes you gotta pop-out and show your alignment
I’m not ignoring you, I just don’t want to pull a bird-finger muscle
.

Premium Member Proactive Pink Panther

I can be proactive despite my delay
In taking two pain pills so I can slay
Doing the things I can do well despite 
A little brown bird of procrastination inside

I went to Goodwill to see what I’d find
Someone’s trash is a treasure of mine
I am so thrilled as I was in a blue bind
Teal goodies are here in the nick of time

Did my best to silver save a few bucks
Made a way out of no way God does
Autumn’s breath beneath whimsical wings
Ears drink notes the geese seem to sing

Daily prayers answered I am so blessed
Like a pink panther I prance in my dress
I’m a little tea pot petite purple loveliness 
Not always on top but I denim do my best

Over Stimulation

Lights catch random particles, drawing attention to the eye. Heart beats out of rythm. Smoke clouds magically appear as thoughts bluntly dissipate. Into thin air goes the brain, gliding down memory lane. Day brought Déjà vu, followed by awkward agitation. Fear drives choices, fueling the machine; misdirected. Procrastination leaves margin for error. Thoughts corrupt the already polluted mind. 
   Speaking thoughts out loud is a cause for concern but preoccupation leave us feeling trapped. Searching for a way out takes over all priority causing an over stimulated mind to lunge for relief. 
   Quickly fixed by applying temporary bandages to hide emotions can't shake waking up feeling regrets and projecting anger. Dwelling on the past, medicating anguish, inevitable anxieties begin forming conclusions with little rationality. Left with a bitter taste from nibbling on our own cuticles. 
   Excuse me, while I hold tight onto my crutches. Self consciously, I'm lead into the bathroom. Overly critical; analyzing myself; the correct answers lose gravity. As if to be rotating on the axis of the universe, I surrender to myself with the power of my own beliefs. Chalking it up as the simple result of over-stimulation.

It Is Never Too Late To Be What You Were Born To Be

You are a creature of purpose
Therefore empower yourself with what is already yours!
Passion and the power of your vision
Can be displayed in your life
All you need is that decision and
You can enhance the precision in your life.

Procrastination might be wrong!
In this century 
Now is the time to live strong
Accumulate the thoughts you have left behind
Because the theft of your potential remains in the future.
Do not let the cemetery rob you of your potential
Fulfillment of your purpose is essential to your life so
This matter of persistence is certainly not inconsequential.

Believe in the steps of time or else
The crime of procrastination will follow and
You will live a shallow life
The theft of your potential remains in the future
Therefore empower yourself with what is already yours!
It is never too late to be what you were born to be.

A Better Production

I've been sitting on my couch doing nothing
Procrastination has been a practice ever since
2018 is a sought year to make a big thing!
I'll slit laziness and cut it into mince
See myself productive making bunch of achievements
Plenty of time to make good things even better
I'll repair my wrecked dreams left at empty pavements
No single heartbreaks will be written in a letter
A brand new year for a brand new me
Everything will be on point leading to right way
No room for lame excuses and take courage to be...
I wonder what massive success waiting on that day
Promise to be untamed and motivated to my work
Better production will be seen next year like a firework

Premium Member Poetic Theme

So, what is the best theme for
a poem?  No guarded secret, all themes --  
Freely to Roam! And what, the prescribed 
destination or direction? Wherever the poet, 
himself, deems worthy of fond or pertinent 
affection –


Poetic Theme (extended metaphor)

So, what is the best theme for
a poem?  No guarded secret, all themes – 
Freely to Roam! And what the prescribed
destination or direction? Only those fond 
and pertinent, giving affectionate-justification as 
reason for procrastination – to linger in a moment's 
subtle discovery – the courses followed only those
which the poet deems entrancingly divine – he seeks 
heartfelt permanent encampment – or just an
amicable pause, in a neighboring field, fertile for 
blooming enchantment; with his companion pen, to chronicle
canorous visuals, fervently inspired – or simply folksy, 
lyrical rides; for the poet, alone, decides where his poetry lives 
or temporarily abides – 

(his muse, never far off – nearby, perhaps reflecting in the shade of a flowering 
fruit tree: heaped in petals, not trying to hide – more enjoying the velvety feel of an
apple before the outer peel, though colorful, would be far too bitter for his present 
aromatic meal) – muse and poet, composing through a single eye. Writing as one: 
sharing new sights – sounds with scent – their mind dutifully toward poetry 
bent – shades of detail, mellifluously transcending common scheme and rhyme – 
incanting verse worthy of a brief performance, or immortal, blessed shrine – 
It's all fair, such dulcet affair! All subjects! All seasons! – preferring spring, in which to self-lavish and spiritually entwine. Therefore, his paths are fanciful, never truthful as definitive 
would define; often choosing glitter over harsh realty, yet can be a prophet and oracle if a troubling-time -- though never, a ruling class mime; – in this sense, he is a likable charlatan, a chimerical rebel...irreconcilable passion his soulful crime,  therefore not ever exhibited, an atoning-word or act of sorrowful contrition – so loved by God, who gags at his counterpart, the lying politician.
