Premium Member Momentary Thoughts

now
       on hold
momentary 
           pleasure,
short-lived 
yet
          savoured again
      at our
leisure

Lovers on a bed of leisure,
Caressing their depth with pleasure.
Hands up,mouths down,
Legs coil,in-love drown.

Coasting

Peddling with great stride 
Muscles relax as I glide
Leisure ten-speed ride

Then, a worker bee,
Next, I will retire
Before I expire.

he plotted
to win and wear

at

his desires
permeated his

Premium Member How do I regain control?

Never a moment for leisure.
To Do lists chewing up my time.
I must break these chains!

nonchalantly walking hopping from table to table

Grook - Comfort To Death

Complacency, leisure and ease,
Sloth is a creeping disease.
To take your first breath,
Put comfort to death,
Only then, the day you may seize!

Carefree summer days of leisure.

Plato's Bequeath

An extravagance of leisure
   —exploiting the time

Beyond the reach of my Grandfathers
   —the joy and the pain

Neither toy nor a plaything
time on a whim squandered at leisure
frittered for sake of burlesque

Pets and Gadgets

My grandpa spent his leisure with pets 
I don’t spare time from my gadgets. 
Keep busy in gadgets till I can endure 
leaving my lovely pets ignored.

Leave Something Behind

I would like to leave something  behind.
Even if it is  only a short poem or rhyme.
It makes me alive, remarkable pleasure,
to bother your brain, when reading for leisure.

From Wonder To Ponder

From the window above
I look down on the street
The stream of humanity
Flows without retreat
Is my leisure
My luck, I wonder?
Or the cause of my envy
Their rush, I ponder?

and it comes as no crime ~ AI frees up man giving him some spare time 

not for leisure or help keep fit ~ but more screen time to do endless sh!t

Premium Member Psycho-Meditation 301

  
     The whole idea of a ‘leisure class’
        is not as distant as it seems

     when students prep for life with courses 
        ~ like ‘Meditation and Recurring Dreams’

Worried Outlooks - In Manitoba

Summer grasses, soft blown.
As deep therein
Of a sweet embalming
Lie; on sleep's brink.
Its this visual leisure
Now stood up for
Plain's dreamy farness, does more
Such to blur; shrink.
