Short Dithering Poems

sleeping mood brings anomalous rhyme
dreamy night embraces me with chime 
lyric songs of the dawn 
bite the sleep with adorn 
drowsy gabbling mimes dithering time

What summer-wrecking melody
My irritation high
A tune familiar dithering
That truck soon passes by

All children trained to run away
Instead they chase him down
For frosty treats they gladly pay
The ice cream man’s in town

In my house there are many windows
I await the shimmering light
to warm my poems
but I am stuck for inspiration
I await for nature
just some simple lea
with truncated river
dithering away listlessly
under azure sky
or a poem about a 
sun baked hippopotamus
under surveillance
of a tourist truck

the nuclear snakes
   slither into disaster
warheads waiting 
   in the dithering wings

light explodes
darkness erupts
fiery projectiles 
  obliterate without mercy

the reptilian warlords
  fumble through flames
apocalypse waiting

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?...

Delay no more.
Death is a wolf at your door,
when it breaks in
don’t be within dithering.
It has been wisely said:
‘that there are no atheists in fox holes.’
Enroll this instant,
even if you doubt,
feel ridiculous,
swear that you are too intelligent for this nonsense,
or feel too worthy or unworthy,
just enroll now.
What have you got to lose?
Don’t ask,
unless you want to test
the worst of your self
and lose the best....

HEAVENLY SHOWERS

She was sun-scorched,
Seared and parched,
Aching for heavenly showers!

Delaying, dithering, though, at long last
He relented, bowed.

He laved her with love,
Soaking all her heat
In his own pores.

He caressed the hearth.
The sky kissed the earth.

She was now radiant,
Ravishing…
Reciprocated now she-
A waft of love from her bosom, at long last
Rose up towards him.

Soaring high and high.
The earth kissed the sky.

Will I find my sky?...
