Premium Member Being a Mother

patience is
waiting your turn
not interrupting
listening tp others
not getting anxious
remaining calm
giving your time gladly
being a mother

Cold

Today all I hear is coughing
Hacking and sniffling 
Disgusting disease
That might catch me
Interrupting conversations
Cough hack sniffle
So annoying
Grab a tissue!

Piercing Needles

needle piercing  
the heart 
puncturing 
the soul 
emotional 
estrangement 
from desire 
causing distress 
to spread through
the state of being 
interrupting the 
state of well being

Premium Member Listen To Your Child

Interrupting is rude, son.
But Daddy….
Not one more word. Understand? 
Stern look.
Child asks, “What if….”
I MEAN IT!
So five-year-old child sits politely beside window
Watching as hijackers steal their family’s blue Chrysler Caravan.


Rain

I like the rain
And its effortless thoughts
That plunk down on plastic furniture 

Sleeping cars
Grimacing pedestrians
Interrupting your Sunday hair

And how we scatter away
In our silly ways, like ducks on a pond
Instead of drinking 
The world

Busy!

I forgot to eat lunch
left it cooling
in the microwave,
running all around
doing year end things.

The phone keeps ringing
interrupting everything,
then I have to start over
if I ever want to 
get anything done.

Don't call me!

Premium Member Interrupting Two Black Panthers

I had never interrupted a black panther conversation before.
I stopped in my tracks, barely breathing.
Hoping neither of them had noticed me.
One of them had a sniffer high in the air.
I ducked behind a vine.
My heart was beating like a hummingbird’s wings.
I waited.

Premium Member Mrs Rapid Fire Talker

She talks fast
as if she is afraid
if she does not get it out
she might be interrupted

which amuses us
for she is the one
who does all the interrupting
in this lunch room

She is desperate now
for an audience
talking faster.
We flee to our rooms
to eat alone.

Premium Member todays child

Today’s child thinks what they have to say is golden
Interrupting adults is not a big deal
Questioning teachers is their right

Today’s child unwittingly shows us a somber future
Were they raised by wolves?
Or parents who spent their time with them staring at electronics

Premium Member reminding me to listen and not rush things

two koi glide past at an unhurried pace
representing courage and strength
symbols of peace and tranquility

reminding me to meditate
wait for my guides to answer
not rush anything

good luck comes to those who
know how to listen without interrupting
to know how to glide

The Jerry Springer Show

About this show,
My girls are amused,
Interrupting my sports,
Intruding my news,
To the television,
Their eyes are glued,
Ignoring mom cries,
Snacks or food,
So a series,
I just viewed,
And I thought it was,
Oh so rude,
On a talk show,
Girls fighting half nude,
I found it unpalatable, 
I found it lewd..

Premium Member Mrs Z Can You Yes

Mrs. Z, can you?
Yes! She shrieks with delight, not caring what it is.
We need you to….
OKAY! She agrees, wanting to please.
Do you need to….
No, she says, interrupting her boss once again.
The rest of us stare in amazement.
Marveling that she is supposedly a therapist.
Don’t they have to listen?

Premium Member Dual Sim Phone

Loss of focus
a seeming disorientation
in the external 
interrupting our meditation 

Loss of grounding
yet will not do being resident
within mind body
so we alternate the current

Polarity rotation
between realm inner & outer
doing to be done
in as ordained by the Creator

Premium Member Nobody Listens

Interrupting at every chance
Why is it nobody listens
Why is it nobody cares

Just once she’d like to express
Her inner self to the full extent

Without needing to elbow
For her place on the podium
For her place in the sun

Why is it nobody cares
Why is it nobody listens

Silence

I sat under a cedar tree,
Listening to the snow fall softly as it melted
The birds, many different kinds
Singing to each other. 
The freeway roared softly but was interrupting 
Flirting fleeting tweets of the robins.

I cried gently to myself thinking, how beautiful 
the soft white snow was when it could be red

Whisper Hello

Sweet flower tree whispers hello 
Walking past she interrupted...
 
Glorifying wings of spring on her branches
Marveling her purple paper star shower
Inhaling her peaceful unlocked power 
My spirit has lifted....
 
"Hello, I whisper back, 
"Thanks for interrupting!"

One O'clock Moon

one o’clock moon
riding high, beming,
intimidating the
one o’clock stars;
chasing us down
dark alleyways
and empty beaches,
glowing gold above
interrupting darkness
in the night sky.
one o’clock moon
befriending, aiding
one o’clock lovers
guiding romance and
streaking the oceans;
drawing howls from
one o’clock dogs.
one o’clock moon.

Premium Member Chirp

Chirp chirp 
the sparrow let out
Hiding in bushes 
so hard to see 
But if I
were a worm
Or bug 
of his choice
I am sure 
I would spy him
Beyond all the noise 
Quiet now 
he must see me
Human I am 
no fly or bee
Chirp chirp 
the sparrow let out
Flying away 
from curiosity 
Shame on me 
I got to close
Interrupting his hunt 
with my big nose

I Am Alone

The visitors left me 
with empty rooms 
tasting like the last bite of cone 
beneath my favorite ice cream.

Bare mattresses confront misty eyes 
and small piles of laundry 
stand at the foot of each bed, 
like left over food.

Silence seems impolite, 
interrupting conversations
still echoing in this cool place 
that was warm an hour ago.

I am alone.

The Power Saw

The power saw is screeching,
Interrupting every thought.
I’m sending silent messages,
Which all add up to naught.

Of course, the neighbors have a right
To work around the house,
The same way I’m entitled 
To both seethe inside and grouse.

A quiet Sunday afternoon
Was what I’d hoped to get.
Instead, my peace disturbed,
I grit my teeth and moan and fret.

Premium Member The Listener

They stop and tell me bit by bit
Their side of the tale
I am careful to not divulge that I have heard
Six other versions
Six other sides
Encouraging them to continue
So I have a few more pieces
And they will continue to stop by and trust me
I listen hard,
Not interjecting.
Not suggesting.
Not interrupting.
It is difficult, but it helps them to keep coming.

Premium Member Difference In Classmates

Pleasant classmate
                                      Joyfulness, friend
                              Welcoming, Loving, Learning
                            Student, worker, sloth, menace
                         Disturbing, Interrupting, Disrupting
                                    Nightmare, diversion
                                   Unpleasant Classmate

As If I Were Broken

Have you ever wondered what I was thinking?
When I look at you, my mind spirals.
I see you yawn and wonder,
Does your mind sound like mine?
The voices talking over each other.
Interrupting each other,
Never finishing one thought
Before beginning another.
Eventually, one rises above the rest.
I asked you if you had heard the noise and 
You looked at me as if I were broken.

Premium Member Quiet, the Character

Have I been so loving,
That she is impressed,
And starts to think of one thing,
"Is there someone else?"
Is it interrupting,
When I've only yelled,
To whisper sweet nothing.
Which makes her compelled?
Should they take off running?
Am I quite the demon,
Quiet, cool, and cunning,
Not dating anyone?
Truly I repent;
I have my rights and wrongs;
Am I not your friend?
Do I not belong?
