Short Minute Poem Poems

Exact write. 

Flower paste.

Face 

the natural force. 

Bites the window 

as I turn to the pouring rain
 
and dream of sunshine.

Really, that's pretty awful!

Hah!...

Four walls do not make a world…
For life unfurled
You must go out
Without a doubt!

Into the sunshine you must go…
Your face to show
Take in it all
You’ll have a ball!

The joy of just being alive
Will make you thrive
Open the door
See so much more!...

With pen in hand the poet writes
Some sleepless nights
Might skip a day
So much to say.

When you know you have it right
With all your might
Words on a page
Some of them sage

Create a tale thru poetry
For friends to see
Words shared will live
With thoughts you give....

I'm here to share with you my thoughts,
untie some knots;
I try to learn
how gold to earn.

I'm thrilled by this advanced technique,
evade critique
when it's on me;
I'm proud, you see.

I know I have to write this form,
It has its charm,
made me reflect;
please don't reject....

To create in five minutes, I wish
to come up with a nice yummy dish.
A limerick I do,
dear Russell, for you.
And I'm sorry it can't be de-lish!

(having problems getting this to post! Hopefully 
third time is a charm)

It was a dull and lifeless day
of brown and gray
I'd walked around
until I found

A little flower all alone
in beauty grown
which caught my eye
as I passed by

The color I was blessed to see
had lifted me
and as it grew
my spirit flew

(This is a Minute Poem written in strict iambic meter)

Five fingers guide me to the floor
I smile no more
I want to flee 
"Just dance with me."

In all the world I must believe
And do perceive
A gentleman
Waits for my hand.

Someone with whom my fate will lock
And mock me not
For here I am
With midget Sam.

The first minute, blank
brains filled with paper whiteness,
unlined, creative.

The second, third, fourth
go in a whiz, fizz, unpro
ductive row of parts

The halfway point; five
slow minutes; tired poem
drags your tired pen

Six, seven, eight, nine,
minutes leap like frogs in front
of a metaphor,

leaping at the last
minute, when time writes itself
into the whiteness....

This is the best part
To say what is on my mind
I’m suffocated with toxic
A lavish smoke that makes me grind

Intoxicating works
Routines and foolishness
I can’t stand on my feet
Like a handicapped old man

Potion and pills
Mix them together
I don’t see solution 
This blatant aggression.

This deep feeling in me
Can’t be scientifically solved
I just want to be drowned 
In a hot boiling water...

I often wonder if she knows
Which way she goes
Before she starts
The path she charts

And is it really all a front?
Not to be blunt
Putting on airs
Like we should care

But then sometimes, she adds a twist
Like a clenched fist
A bitter kiss
I’d rather miss

~Jesus Is Great~
(The Minute poem)


He shows that He really cares
He's returning soon
He loves us so
For Him love grows

Come to the Lord, give Him your heart
From Him never part
He'll guide your life
Help you with strife

Read all the signs and watch the sky
Seek Him and see
Jesus is great
Don't wait too late.

I reached to touch with soft caress
Your silken dress
So beautiful
Then, back at school

Those were the days that were carefree
Just you and me
I adored you
A love so true

Time has passed and so quickly by
That is just why
I still love you
Worship you, too
