Etta Dunkin

She said she could not condone it
Nor could she even postpone it
So come what may
It makes her day
To feast upon an hot doughnut!

It's Tit's
Which Tit's
Those Tit's
Switch Tit's
So, schedule a Doctor
Postpone the Benz
Two brand new Boob's
Are money well spent.

Passing Life

In this passing life,
for loving her so much,
inevitably i must depart...
I postpone this act
every day...
But day will come
that there will be 
no further delay...!

bride in mourning for father
his last wish for her to not postpone her wedding day
wedding two days after funeral
delicate white moth arrived
led daughter down the aisle

A Sunday Psalm

Sunday-

Pouring into yourself
Daydreaming in the crisp evening breeze
Wanting to postpone tomorrow
Thoughts like a tornado
Still-
Enjoying silence
Basking in the quiet and the calm

Premium Member -Living On Postpone

Escaping from the depths of your mind

To a place called Nowhere Land

A solitary life lived inside your head

Leaving the pain behind


Whether you will return is unknown

No quality of life

“Living” on postpone!

Inevitable

was on a quest
to postpone 
inevitable downfall
was always trying 
to satisfy
need to control
situations outside 
comfort zone 
inferior effort to 
try and reach a 
level of contentment
based upon acquiring
things outside the self
failed miserably

Fish Food

Place some fish
  on your dish,
'cause it can help your mind;
squeeze some lemon on it too;
just throw away the rhine.
Now, don't postpone,
nor take too long
for a healthy meal like this,
has always been known ,
to make you very strong!

Whole 'Nother Worlds

Balassi stanza

In other worlds out there, 
kids hide and say a prayer.
Mom needs the mornings to snooze.
This child gets up alone, 
her hunger to postpone;
Dad's only care is his booze.
She must get to the bus 
without making a fuss;
there's no sense gettin' a bruise.

Premium Member Touched

Anthologies of language form, the core of man’s suppositions,
Breathing life into the Word with grace and contrition.
Counting, countless citizens mass to pray their propositions
Doubtless to postpone the day of their forewarned superstitions.
In the Beginning there was the Word and the Word was …

Premium Member Without a Sigh Goodbye

Last race, fast pace.
Too fast, can't last.

Save breath, postpone death,
Can't walk or talk.

Race is over; count the cost.
Some are winners, others lost.

I know as time goes by,
That someone more incredible than you or I
Know when and how we will die.
And the race will be over without a sigh. Goodbye

Premium Member Lets Put that in the Parking Lot

Let’s put that in the parking lot.
It means Mr. Money will postpone a decision.
We drones look at each other.
Anything the boss wants is imperative.

Any suggestion from the minions is delayed.
Put off, shelved, indefinitely suspended.
One of the new employees protests. She is fired.
The rest of us keep quiet, wanting our pay.

Premium Member Not Our Choice

You will never see him grown.
No, it isn’t fair
to see you lying there,
wishing we could postpone
this thing written in the book.
Being who we are,
our road may be less far.
We may not have long to look,
for the pathway we should take.
What we see
as the who we wish to be,
may be short, narrow in the wake.

Premium Member Angry Dolphins

Listen to poem:
Precariously poised on 
the precipitous precipice,
I pondered whether a nose-dive plummet
into the whirlpool lagoon below
was prudent, well-advised and provident.
But the angry impassive persona,
of the ever so cross porpoises,
seen purposefully prancing there
gawking up at me,
persuaded me to prudently, 
postpone the plunge.

A Guy's Excuse For Missing a Date

A guy to his girlfriend on phone-

"I love you,you do too,
But now I also love someone else.
She doesn't fritter my money,shout,cry like you,
She's dark,beautiful,an enchantress.

She invigorated my spirits,mesmerized me,
I didn't even realize when the sun sunk.
We'll postpone our date of tonight,I can't drive now,
'Cause baby,I'm drunk!"

ANGER

Anger is a kind of madness 
It can be controlled by kindness

Try to  postpone your anger 
Delay is the remedy for anger

Acid harms the vessel that stores it
Anger harms the person who harbours it

Avoid open your mouth when you are angry
Every word said in anger will give you worry

Learn to control Anger
Before it controls you

And So I Cried

I send you flowers by the drove 
and all my fantasies 
My heart beat in a steady rove  
and all my love;
You opted to postpone me love ,   
your sweet affection 
was denied, and so I cried; 
While all the flowers in my grove
dried up and died,  
I gathered up my words 
and all my fantasies 
and took them  home.

Premium Member Chasing Rainbows

Listen to poem:
I'll be happy when I reach my goal.
Meanwhile I'm sad because
I'm not even close to getting there.
Why postpone happiness
and make it dependent on 
goals and changes needed 
to get the rewards they bring?
It is so self-defeating, a poor excuse!
I can be happy now,
with what I've got now,
with whom I am now,
enjoying the journey,
instead of chasing rainbows.

Violent Heartbeat

If to pound speaks of a violent motion, 
Why then my heart moves violently
If to fall is a tragic thing
Then the night is a sweet tragedy
If to steal is a crime
Then give me my beautiful thief
So I can take back the kisses he stole
From me 
One by one by one...

If to break is an event as should be avoided
Then, pray, postpone the dawn
Its first crack is on the horizon's edge
Yet it seems the night has scarce begun

procratination

One must know how to procrastinate,
It is necessary to postpone to Friday
What we can do on Monday,
The moon will shine enough,
It must be postponed to Friday,

Do I need this tool,
From this lamp? From this rifle?
The moon will shine tomorrow,

What can I do without worry?
One must know how to taste tea
It must be postponed to Friday,
What we can do on Monday,
One must know how to procrastinate.

Meal of Death

Poisoned apple dangling 
before mine eyes
Are you the royal feast 
before one dies?
Is there a hangman gladly 
lurking by
And crowds to bid  another 
fool goodbye?
Can I just take a little baby 
bite
To quench this thirst about 
to douse my light?
Do you expect in hunger I 
despise
This meal of death 
disguised as paradise?
Should I postpone the day 
my loved ones cry
And live in woe or do I say 
goodbye?

Tell Somebody

Children of today,
Tell somebody
If you are violated
He or she will be isolated

This behavior is wrong,
But you are strong!

You are not alone,
So please, do not postpone!

You may hear threats,
Telling somebody is no sweat!

The hurt is in a vault,
You are not at fault!

Self-esteem maybe low,
Rise above and flow!

You may feel fear,
Remember,God is always near!

Tell somebody,
'Cause it's your body!

Waiting For the Snow

According to my phone, the snow 
Is set to start at one, 
Well, 70% the chance 
That it will have begun.

I look outside and wonder
Just how accurate that is.
Predictions sometimes fizzle out 
Despite a weather wiz.

Yet plans get readjusted 
And cancellations spike
All based on when predictors 
Say a storm will likely strike.

It’s probably a foolish thing 
Depending on your phone 
To figure out activities
You maybe should postpone.

The Wee Hours

the cigarette is finished
I can postpone no more
my wrestling with the night
pills referee my fight

tomorrow will be daylight
on fresh fallen snow
I will write
with a dead twig
on fresh fallen snow
then throw the twig
into the open back
of a departing garbage truck
that leaves tired tire tracks
on fresh fallen snow

the night’s fears
inconsequential tears
whispers from past years
weak fires routinely snuffed out
on fresh fallen snow
