Short Lagging Poems

The rains
are so dreary
Spring is lagging behind
waiting for Sol to drive away
drizzles....

Everyday is a struggle 
lagging effects from covid and the flu
I'm tired all the time
Does anyone else feel this way? 
Or am I just special?...

Marching along in triple digits
you don't have to think of the heat
It's enought to worry lagging behind
without worry of the "smell of defeet"...

My heart is too frequently engaged
In pursuits of the most frivolous kind,
Sometimes it runs away with itself
Leaves my mind lagging far behind.

Sluggish and settled
  or softened with age
Low speed and laid back
  a lagging old sage
Overdue and overwhelmed
   out of order and old
Wound down  and weary
   but her heart is pure gold...

Terrible Towards Traitor

Always would be terrible towards a traitor;
Realizing there is someone who was greater;
Eyes baggy and sagging,
And behind not lagging;
Ended up being called Great Emancipator.

Lagging behind but we’ll make up
Light dispels all darkness
Grace overfloweth from God’s cup
Heart’s drenched in blissfulness 

Exiting all doership
With love as our flagship
Each life breath’s God worship

In ego’s bind
Lagging behind

Galaxy in triplicate
if you don’t mind
my tail is lagging
it’s simply behind

Galaxy for all three of you?
The gentlest Greek gods?
Galaxy in triplicate, now?
What are the odds?

If you get your galaxies,
If I come through and deliver,
Will you make me happy I did?
Will you make me laugh and quiver?...

Clouds rolled
 then hovered overhead
 waiting on the wind to catch up
 pass by then race away
while billowy puff clouds stayed,
 as images began to form
 darkened gray unicorns
 sky filled with fire breathing dragons
the sun alone and lagging,
 then a rumbled flash of light displayed
 flushed the clouds of rain
 slowly pushing the storm away....

Trying to learn
A new way of
a heck of an art
mastering my reason inside
please bear with me
I've fallen behind
Where you've had quite the head start.
In my ignorance
I am lagging farther behind
where my life was soo complex
sorry for the mixed message
in the future I'll learn to think twice
I'm just learning to write
Before I read
Between the lines....

Emma, I would love to be you
How careless you seem with love
Trusting your hands with blind eyes
Guided by only the faith in your heart
If you get a break or suffer a bad fall or two
You keep moving as if nothing bad happened to love
Pain is so frustrated  being deterred and always lagging behind
It never seem to get ahead in your heart
Emma, I would love to be you...

The bully teaches others how
The bully has you do his work
You say to others I am sick
and then go on to further duerrke

I tell you that it isn't true
defending all that you've gone through
by telling all your hurt for cause
And not admitting others flaws

So On I go to listen closely
and tell you all to wait
For what is love but lagging moments
a victim has to date...

I used to miss your touch, now your hands feel like claws

I used to melt in your stare, now your eyes come with bristles

I used to miss your shag and plaits, now you wear a tail of a horse

I used to miss a natural shape, now your curves are created by a dose

I used to miss your call of my name, now you sound like Americanos and Angles

Tell me if I’m stuck in history, lagging behind as the Homo Sapien evolves...

I like to think that love
is Universal – even little
green men, on boggy worlds
having such fond capacity

like to think that stars
share brilliance affectionately,
giving an extra beam, here and there,
to a fellow where a twinkle lagging

like to think, that vagabond comets,
trade heartfelt sonnets in the passing

like to think that you would love me
forever...even if I wasn't so
poetically cute and clever:)...

My symposia welcomes you
On Texans' incessant bragging
Examples are far from lagging
As we examine this strange trait

We look at the geography
As seen through the egos extant
Then explain this absurd new slant
That the state contains the North Pole

A new perspective will arise
In debunking this local lore
An education is in store
From this brilliant New Yorkers mind

Attention

some time
 after our birth
our attention engages
in all of life's tracings..
we come to believe that
our experience is well
founded on 
discrimination..

then stealthily 
this healthy growth
seems accompanied by
a question of suffering
nagging and lagging 
alongside..

something cries out
for new birth..in which
attention is swallowed
by a new identity
to which
our suffering has
always pointed......

Measure not the sincerity of friends, 
Time will show you worth of all, 
Those with you in cheers and delight, 
Probably won't, answer to your call, 
When you're in trouble or lagging behaind, 
Most of them'll fly and flee.
Lose not hope and make no mourn, 
Let them go and gain their glee.
This is how heaven helps us all, 
Showing the faces of foes in friends, 
Driving the devious away at all, 
Teaching us, training us, the life's trends....

Frozen chrystal tears
Shed lightly onto the translucent floor
As the moon shatters into shards 

The night a silent atmosphere of annihilation
The stars suspend lifelessy from the firmament
Exposing a faint glow of heaven's glimmering light

An legion of shadows
Marching towards the ends of the earth
In search of...Nothing

Traveling beyond earths atmosphere
Lagging and lingering...wanting only consideration
Romito

Justice delayed from fringed time frazzled cry
Until the DREAM can heal itself and broken trust
Negroes shackled minds in the velvet shadows try
Evolving with a nation drunken in bloody lust
Trapped in tragedy of a blurred emancipation line
Edged to the margin of Reconstruction, it tells
Empty enactment lagging that Constitutional hell
Nattering historic lies, blood and tongue dispels
Truth against the moral lie, all brotherhood a shell
Heaven's rich cause stumble in raged hearts to fill....
