The horses’ve hurried in.
A damp cat, mutely purring....

Slippery Time
Let's loose paranoia,
With withering walls a-tumbling

          scarce
           time
            hurried
             steps
              fast
                life...

Pitter patter goes the heart;
Faster and faster it fell apart.
Dimmer and dimmer all senses went;
A hurried heart now all spent....

painted me with his tongue
shot at me with his fingers
then the devil hurried in
to pick and wrap the spoils...

Who was invited ashore for tea
He took just one sip
Hurried back to his ship
Muttering a tot of rum will do me...

Then stumbled upon a horrific sight
Where the witches had brew
Humans were the stew
I hurried and got out of sight...

I’ve seen it open once or twice before
Affection and kindness hurried through
Never staying long enough to be true...

When clouds separate
   on an evening wind,
To dance with gliding sunlight
A phase to come
   to hurried steps,
Breaking moments
   with a rosy touch....

Ev'ry thought hath made me worried,
I've trekked with haste; indeed, I've hurried
And through this journey, myself I've found
'Neath the Sea, awake, but buried...

  When it melts, where does it go

Yet my ponderings too oft lead to pollutions
  Preceding hurried late-night ablutions...

Earlier and earlier we simply confess
     Thanksgiving's not here
     Retailers do sneer
Such is the life of commercial excess...

to move at a relaxed…more determined pace….
Remembering:
Life should be more of a leisurely walk…
than a rushed and hurried race....

Big Wreak On A Reef

There had been a Big Wreak On A Reef;
When we found out was  beyond belief;
Often hurried,
And worried;
Are so sad wanting relief from our grief.

That if I could, I would request she hurried. 
Though 'miles to go before I sleep' do beckon,
The Empress of the night sky moves unworried....

Hurried steps 
Chasing each other
Mongrel howling 
Eyes peeping behind blinds
Security lights lighting up
Sighs of relief 
Mutted mummers
Danger is over for now...

Along with all the ruins and debris;
Through hurried,
And things buried;
Is such a sad sight for you and me.

so large people said it would never float.
But the waters they rose,
the doors he hurried to close,
then did he look at his neighbors and gloat....

Crowded beats,
Hurried feat
On city street

Buzzing, upbeat,
Meet, greet,
Unrelenting
Daily routine.

Massive strikes in Germany
  Burning tires in France
    Drummers pound out a war dance
  
  But please do not worry
  Real change can't be hurried
    Except with a large cash advance...

Their Trail of Tears

Were here in America before us for years;
All the Indians with their hopes and fears;
Were worried;
Had hurried;
While they went down the Trails of Tears.
