The Flood Gates Opened
Today the flood gates opened
A strong tide rushed down, coming down
Everything was just swept away
No one left, no one around
It became clear an act of God
See what happens in the Lord's mighty wrath?
He struck down with lightning and with thunder
We prayed that all things would again last

Rushed It To Complete
Hardly even sputters to a start,
The engine churns,
Feel the vibrations in my heart.
Machine gutworks,
That’s none other than my own love,
I’ve come too far though.
I’m not even happy when on the chem though,
Silence speaks volumes,
Silence can’t say what you intend though.
Life’s been worse since I found out

A Poet's Regret
These days I have been indulging myself,
But lurking guilt always dims my joy,
In the rhythm of rushed life,
I even forgot how to write!

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

From Moon To Clover
** From Moon to Clover **
I say,”Do not!” live every day
As if it were our last day,” like some advise.
For tears will flow without end
And cheeks cannot be quenched, nor hearts be
Rushed . In that way, too, the beauty of music
Will bring only reminders of sorrow;
The vibrant light of the sun

She Rushed In Like a Flurry
When something returned home
We were surprised, as we had not realized joy had been missing
She rushed in like a flurry, talking excitedly
Enthusiastic about life, loving college, enjoying people
We had not seen this girl's joy for almost ten years
She had been hiding in a world of gloom
In a bedroom she had painted black, even the ceiling
We

Age Rushed In
Age rushed in like the waves of an unrelenting sea…
knowing she could not hold back the tide
she welcomed in the ocean
and did her best to enjoy the ride.

She Cannot Be Rushed
I stare at dusk-tinged mountains to the east,
anticipating joyously the rise
of an old friend not pressured in the least
to meet my frantic schedule, I surmise.
I cannot rush the moon, although I reckon
that if I could, I would request she hurried.
Though "miles to go before I sleep" do beckon,
the Empress of the

Stressed Speeding Up and Rushed
Stressed Speeding Up and Rushed
Everything is speeding up and everyone is rushed,
Fear of criticisms and opinions from others in case the ego is crushed,
Your boss is always on your case,
His words create emotional haste,
People losing jobs in record numbers this year,
Being poor and homeless is most people’s fear,
Stress hits us from every angle,
Fight against it

A Rushed Gratitude (By the Romans), Lit.Op.2
Grateful, Oh grateful, we do are grateful,
For this year you made merry and peaceful!
And you have been most humble God’s vessel,
Of love and concern- these all in you settled,
Joy to the angel, form of a mentor,
You made our knowledge to heaven’s sky soar,
You made our souls as pleasant as flowers,
And guide us through the rest

Rushed
Pink dress? Blue dress? Black dress.
Hair down? Hair up? Hair shiny straight.
I will hardly make it on time.
My beautiful toes are screaming at me to get polished,
I will only have time to get the painted.
My lovely legs still need shaving,
Only time stands in the way.
The clock ticks down like a time bomb,
Did i get the
