Fireworks, 
I drove past winter pastime from long ago
Today, the same bridge is in mourning
Lighted bright red 
With timely reminders of loved ones....

Chess - the Other Side of the Story
The game of chess
Some say it is a pastime
I know who said "It's no a whit inferior to the violin"
I used to play regularly 
But now I have dumped chess for poetry
Mistake - maybe........

Premium Member Paddle Your Own Canoe
Charles lived in a castle
A castle with a moat
Charles had possession
Of a little wooden boat
When he had a day off
Which were far and few
His favourite pastime
Was paddling his own canoe
Around the castle moat
In his royal boat...

Seagull
I’d soar from cliffs and cross the sea,
I’d dive or hover, screech and swoop,
And seeing tourists under me,
I’d take good aim and drop some poop.

(Every seagull’s favourite pastime!)

Premium Member Glorying In My Bliss
Sitting among my paints and glitter
reaching for a blank canvas
I smile at true me.

An artist, dream-maker, cartoonist, I
separate from regular snore bore life
Becoming more real than ever 
when I get to my studio.

I reach for my paint brush,
glorying in my bliss...

Haiku Versus Rhythm and Rhyme
My favourite pastime:
crafting poetry in rhyme
but not so this time

Ordered by Debbie:
from your comfy box break free
haiku it will be

Debbie, what's with you
to rhythm and rhyme I'm true
I loathe haiku

I'll stay in my sphere
sans rhythm poetry's queer
Oops! I rhymed in here...

Question Mark Existence
walking the floor
regular pastime
not about you
more about me

tweezers and splinters
droplets of blood as blues
not about us
more about life

accidental klutz
lumps and swellings 
not about happenings
more about hurting

dynamic stone teardrops
cubic zirconium crockery
not about pain
more about truth...
