I keep dilly-dallying to compose

the cool plots are already took!

Premium Member Coquette

well made up as she knew
looking sexy in shredded jeans
dilly dallying round high street
giving the eye to men
who all knew she was not worth it

Premium Member dilly dallying danny

dilly dallying danny deliberately defies
daughter dinahs deliberations
denise does donuts during danny’s debate
roaring, rearing, ready rusty ruminations
rarely recognizable, really riling up dinah’s
dander.

Premium Member Moonwash

Wisping winds whisk whispered whimsies willows’ way. 
By the pond, we ponder potent possibilities posed by pollinated passions. 
As we divine dallying delights depicting developing days, 
Moonbeams mobilize to mob us on the mossy mound.

Premium Member Zen Mode

after much dilly dallying
olive branch is proffered

mind analyses
looking for a motive

heart embraces
knowing only love

nonchalance 
smiles and yawns

consciousness triangulates
all aspects of its awareness
mode and mood celebratory


Premium Member Dangerously Dramatic Damsels

Dangerously and dramatic, delightful diamond-clad damsels from Delaware
deviously dazzled dashing dapper dweebs from Des Moines.
Deliberate dallying drained the dullards of their discerning dendrites.
Deeming them deliriously and dubiously devoted.

Premium Member a frosty five

a frozen aria
an angry sparrow
barking at winter


a frozen farewell
a snowflake coating
on fallen feathers


the snow drifts
an unmoving breaker
patiently poised


an icicle threatens
the dallying drips
that give it life


a snowshoe rabbit
eyes the carrot
dark eyes watch

Limerick: Once the Middle Kingdom’s top Concubine

Once the Middle Kingdom’s top Concubine*
Said to rule China through love combine
Dallying generals: O! Dear!
Forced Emperor to fear:
Eunuch strangled her at Buddhist shrine.

*Emperor Xuanzong’s Consort and his daughter-in-law,
Yang Guifei, 719-756 C.E.

Premium Member Jeepers Creepers Giving Gold Fleepers

Jeepers creepers can’t believe your peepers
Sweepers keepers jumping josey leapers.
Gleepers fleepers dallying with sneepers.
Reapers heapers willful wonder kneepers
Sleepers greepers foremost firstly weepers
Deepers sheepers giving golden fleepers
Cheepers zeepers living with grim reapers
Jeepers creepers can’t believe your peepers

Premium Member Dilly-Dally Dabbling

Listen to poem:
He dabbles in this, dips his toes in that
Dithering with daubs, splattering dollops and spatters
Dilly-dallying, loitering lazily lackadaisical
Unable or unwilling to commit.
Half-hearted efforts lie half-baked, unfinished
Laying listless, languidly lolling and littering.
It's so annoying to see time wasted and fortuity fraught
But what can anyone watching do?

Finally

Dilly dallying fumbling about, pitter patter falls the rain outside. Jovial, my nerves, worn... long patches run up-and down the carpet floor. Whack tap, lightening crashes, I cringe hold-my-breath, my new baby cousin... cries, my-heart... it soars! Author notes http://allpoetry.com/ban/show/6960 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4OXrmxDp44

Dilly dallying fumbling about, pitter patter falls the rain outside.

Jovial, my nerves, worn patches run up-and down the carpet floor.

Whack tap, lightening crashes, 
I cringe hold-my-breath, my new baby cousin... cries,
my-heart it-soars!

Premium Member Luscious Strawberries My Tongue Can Wrap Around

Sister,
Hurry. Hurry.
Stop dilly-dallying,
The ice-cream truck is coming round.
If we don't hurry up it'll have a crowd.
Another scorching humid summer day.
How I'd fancy this afternoon
A dish of ice-cream topped
With strawberries,
Sister

My Dilly Dally Dog

I'd let my lab outside to do his numbers
him acting like a sleuth cool as a cucumber
with me on a schedule I'd be checking the time
him dilly dallying like it was no crime,

Sniffing every single bush, tree and blade of grass
me trying to be patient and not too crass
finally saying "would ya hurry it up" while he sniffs the clover
which he thinks is his other name besides the real one Rover.

Premium Member Sanction

Keep my heart safe
My lowly love of serenity 
For in you I have found a 
Treasure more precious 
Than gold and twice as
Brilliant as the moon
In the carpet of heavenly
Stars twinkling upon
Mother Earth in the
Night of misty melody
I shall love you forever 
My romantic counterpart 
Dallying in your arms
In each waking hour
A plethora of virtual
Madness not seen in
Conjoined hearts of today 
Tomorrow and forever

Dreary Soul

There are many a times i ponder my death,
Dallying when it shall come to collect my debt,
In the cavernous depths of my weary soul, 
I wait and watch to pay the toll.

Bottles of tears I've collected,
Bottles more to go,
Soundless and sleepless lo the faces pass and go,
Yet i stand blatant ,to face my fears and sores.

Taking its leave,
Stranded with guilt unseen,
I patiently yearn,
For the page to turn.

Loathing...
Hating ..
Awaiting..
Pining..
