Reaction Time Poems | Examples


Premium Member When a Car Cuts Me Off

Why is it when a car chases me down and cuts me off
It is never a new car, or anyone with insurance.
It is always an indigent who has dents on at least three sides.
I do everything I can to avoid adding to their car’s dents,
Figuring this is some kind of a scam and I do not want to “play”.
I am worried that as I get older, my reaction time will be slower.

Premium Member Reveille Contentment

Startled sprinkles twinkle and toll
The time ignores my grunts and groans
Everyday empties its force of roll
Cannons sound -- and mothers moan

Between the place where time is not
And heaven’s hell slams its door
Little men with giant heads hot
Are lost beneath the fluid floor

New nothings interrupt the waste
Of petty playthings -- argue -- lose
Experience coats with sugar taste
The salty melancholy muse

Perhaps -- possible -- should -- could -- can
“I saw it rise and fall alone”
Reaction time relative to man
Depends on tendered tailored tones

Wishes want thickness, color and cover
Design for moth and spider to loan
Answers are easy like lionized lovers
And time ignores my grunts and groans

Anubis Knows

Anubis knows the time
inside each molecule.
Imperceptivity different moments
tick-on in each atom.

The aggregate length, 
of the space between 
organic particles is recorded.

The reaction time
of all chemical soups
is set to almost midnight.

Anubis prepares a place for us
where all next steps
are predicted.

When we are delivered
to this underworld,
the heart
(an electric devise)
is preset
just for you and I.

Reaction Time

Adversity is out there, you see it everyday,
It's not that you avoid it, you just see it in a different way,
If you choose to go on reactions, you may miss the deeper message,
It doesn't always tend to be there, but hidden under the surface,
Are you willing to see it?? Are you willing to search??,
Are you willing to forgive the reactions that cover all the hurt??,
When your heart is opened, your eyes become willing to see,
And with time your heart changes and alters what will be,
Compassion will grab a hold of you, and take you where you've never been before,
Your rough exterior will disappear and make you love them more,
The ones that ridiculed the love you have, and mistaken it for weakness,
Please understand the strength of that love is masquerated by their ignorance,
Keep going...don't stop....no matter what you come up against,
Because love Will always win, in the end, my friend.

Who Am I

I'm a honest fun loving guy, sometimes shy,  never to be frightened by the next, get to know me by questions,  I'll be sure to correctly answer them with sentences, 
Straight up no lies, Nothing to hide behind no regrets to run from, I'm playing a game of life,  no change,  here where you came,  to do the unexplained, while still looking in every direction,  being sure of who i am, no change, whats a chance not taking?  whats a gasping breathe if your suffocating?  I'm playing hard ball on a soft feil you doing the same? Loving thy family all along the way,  never to be stripped or forgotten Bessel be the name im born with, as for what i am?  I bleed its red,  will i bow?  never yet,  will i lend the last helping hand?  You can bet, always and forever showing much pleasure even if it gets burnd once or twice, thats what good advice, hard skin and reaction time is about im hard on the out,  try me and you'll find out,  inside for who i am? 
Please questions,  questions,  questions, and you'll find out.
