Ode to the Three-Minute Poem Plop
In the study, bright and sunny,
I thought I'd try something funny.
Three minutes, that's all I need I cried,
As I set my timer, pen and paper aside.
I brewed my thoughts, to nice and hot,
Clicked the timer, it proclaimed a plop.
The words danced, swirled in a muse ballet,
Melding to a happenstance touche.
But, soon my thoughts began to

Last Minute Poem
I wrote this at the last minute.
You know,
the minute before, I raced out the door.
I scrawled it out until the paper tore.
The thoughts I wanted to convey
about another hurried, scrambled day.
I spilled and splattered it on the page.
I was Jackson Pollock in a frantic rage.
My muddy, muddled words never tired.
My rutty, riddled will never

Evade Critique
I'm here to share with you my thoughts,
untie some knots;
I try to learn
how gold to earn.
I'm thrilled by this advanced technique,
evade critique
when it's on me;
I'm proud, you see.
I know I have to write this form,
It has its charm,
made me reflect;
please don't reject.

The Reason Behind Reason
a minute poem
My sweetheart had it in his head
when first we wed,
from loving groom
my nom de plume.
The name he calls me, Reason A.,
like cabernet
rolls off the tongue
like music sung.
No rhyme or reason could I find
to reassign
his nickname sworn -
my pen name born.
November 26, 2021
explanation:
Reason A. Goodwin, an editor of World Book Encyclopedia Dictionary, was a

Ten-Minute Poem
The first minute, blank
brains filled with paper whiteness,
unlined, creative.
The second, third, fourth
go in a whiz, fizz, unpro
ductive row of parts
The halfway point; five
slow minutes; tired poem
drags your tired pen
Six, seven, eight, nine,
minutes leap like frogs in front
of a metaphor,
leaping at the last
minute, when time writes itself
into the whiteness.

Home Alone a Five Minute Poem
Sitting in silence is like holding your soul’s hand
I can picture us there side by side where we stand
I hear nothing and everything at the same time
I imagine this is what it sounds like when angels cry
The thoughts dance like ballerina’s around my head
To the sound of no music as I lay still in

With Pen In Hand, a Minute Poem
With pen in hand the poet writes
Some sleepless nights
Might skip a day
So much to say.
When you know you have it right
With all your might
Words on a page
Some of them sage
Create a tale thru poetry
For friends to see
Words shared will live
With thoughts you give.

Four Walls, a Minute Poem
Four walls do not make a world…
For life unfurled
You must go out
Without a doubt!
Into the sunshine you must go…
Your face to show
Take in it all
You’ll have a ball!
The joy of just being alive
Will make you thrive
Open the door
See so much more!

8 Minute Poem
This is the best part
To say what is on my mind
I’m suffocated with toxic
A lavish smoke that makes me grind
Intoxicating works
Routines and foolishness
I can’t stand on my feet
Like a handicapped old man
Potion and pills
Mix them together
I don’t see solution
This blatant aggression.
This deep feeling in me
Can’t be scientifically solved
I just want to be drowned
In
