Haste

Haste pick up your pace,
devour fast food for a taste,
trip over shoelace,
try not to make a mistake,
in our labyrinth rat race.

What Trump Had To Do With Much Haste

What Trump Had To Do with Much Haste

What Trump had to do with much haste,
Was continually create and make waste;
Procrasting,
Everlasting,
Result would be a horrible terrible taste.

Haste-Post-Haste


Married in haste
You would repent at pleasure
Beaded in baste
Distance that bent off leisure

Marriage tends of delay 
You got a pride of preference
That breezes out compliments  of your survey
Curved out gains that nullify your deterrence

DEATH, COME NOT IN HASTE!

Death,
Come not in haste!
For You are monstrous Mighty;
For your hand were deep, Long over our innocent hearts!

Death,
All your paths
Shall breed mournings!
Upon man’s endeavors in the sun, Above their presence;
Mission and vision.
Death is a great ocean!

Blinded Haste

In the darkness of the night

She searches for her perfect knight

Golden

Gleaming

Shinning perfection

He watches her with such affection 

Shes looking

Running

Searching in a haste

But he will never be placed

Because she doesn't see what's in front of her face.

Haste Make Waste

I took my time
And saved my dimes 
So I could buy 
The best of rhymes

But in my haste
I gave away
The best of all
That I had saved

From my first rhyme
To the last dime
Every bit of it
That I could find

Then remembered Ben 
One time did say
Haste makes waste 
I'm afraid..

Premium Member You don't get a second chance

In a world of haste and make believe
where time is a most valuable commodity,
do we really want to miss
chasing rainbows and cuddling kittens,
taking the scenic route and
smelling the roses along our way?

Sometimes a detour is the best shortcut.

We Dont Waste Good Taste

That which has a nice taste
One wouldn't want to waste.
Kids would it chew to a paste,
Eating it not in haste:
It is the strongest zeal
For a good kitchen's meal...

To gourmets a nice deal,
Pure delight one can feel;
Some with the heart of Rock
While feeding selves doors lock;
Each moment there's a knock
Their ears solidly block!

Premium Member Haste

Who walks into forever maudlin and seeking heights misplaced ?
What tortured memories, would mankind wish most undone, unsung?
When time's tide seeks to gather grace, with each painful thought displaced, 
Where fullness bursts, how happy will those emptied heart-holds be once wrung?
Why waste the gift of life seeking solace with such unbridled haste.

Premium Member With Haste Rondine

Buried with haste so skillfully,
they had to have done this before. 
Once found there would be no more 
gems forgotten in the red sea.
Left right where nobody would be
except all those prone to explore.
Buried with haste
accented by shoreline debris.
Riches stay alive with folklore, 
fairy tales and sparkles galore. 
Two steps apart from the palm tree,
buried with haste.

Life Must Not Be Lived In Haste

As I fly away through broken dreams
The reins pull fiercly at my grip
For everything is not what it seems
As these words pass by mothers lip
She gives me all her words of wise
promises me them I must use
As my journey takes me to the skies
All I have learnt I must now disuse
For all those broken dreams
Were only waiting to be chased
I open my mind to my supreme
Life must not be lived in haste

Haste!

How painful it is to fall
Mind I am lost
Please rescue me!
Haste! For stranded I stand
Upon shores bemused
Alongside the sea
Haste!     Haste!
Lest I choose to swim 
And lie beneath what no eye can see

-no Words In Haste-

OFT TIMES I DO NOT WANT

   MYSELF, HEAR TO SPEAK

   FOR WORDS UTTERED IN HASTE,

   ARE OFTEN REGRETTED AFTER


   TO WRITE WORDS DOWN

   ON PAPER, IS TO GIVE YOURSELF TIME

   YOUR WORDS AND THOUGHTS,

   PUT TO ORDER, FOR REASON TO SOUND


   FOR WORDS CAN HURT

   WHEN SAID AT THE WRONG TIME

   IN TRYING YOUR WILL TO ASSERT

   THEN IT IS BEST STILL TO STAY, SO THAT PEACE CAN CHIME.


                            



Without Haste Gracious

Giving each situation due consideration 
those who are gracious comply to best timing
Family and friends retain highest dedication 
Giving each situation due consideration 

Offering helpful service, selfishness chastened
peaceful demeanour with intentions aligning
Giving each situation due consideration 
those who are gracious comply to best timing

Premium Member Make Haste

Bland and empty, a worry breeds
Hides from sight the finest seeds
Only hope provides a way
Keeps the people stable day by day

Passions wonder making clear
A season for another try
Pass the willing way, ignore the passive stares
None attempt to ponder, consumed by other cares

May what glory desires to rise begin
Without an anchor holding bay
The feet make hast toward goals not comprehended
Until you let it go again, a final work before a final day

The Man In Haste

i wonder when will all these nightmares come to an end
i breathe but i'm not happy
i just fight with everybody i come across
what i see in their eyes is mock and ridicule
i feel weak,not to speak to my dearest ones
what is it that made me who i am today?
is it my past or my ambitions for a bright future?
it's clear that my future is not promising 
it's because i turned down the only thing 
that many people think it would have made me 
the man they always wanted me to be
