Premium Member Breathless
Ensembles of little wonder,
rattle the mind amiss,
percussing each muse asunder,
more a kick drum than a kiss.
Inherent absurdities,
on which I plaster a smile,
mortified in memories,
regressing all the while.
Through breathless interlude,
studied demeanours lie,
I pray for beats of solitude…
to distract my rhythmless eye.

Freely Discoursing My Concourse
Concourse with no passenger limits
Un-restricted access to all corridors
Freely navigating space and time
Winding aimlessly along each meter
Easy, un-restrained, rhythmless strides
No pattern to my steps
Pausing for no apparent reason
Deliberately browsing through each strand
Informally addressing every subject I meet
Disconnected from the discourse around me...

Today I Am Querulous
Today I am
querulous
my foot taps a rhythmless tattoo
my fingers roam unfulfilled

this bolus of undetermined want
slides down my throat, 
invertebrate,
lodging in my stomach

dull, 
as a faint scratching on a prison wall, 
carving out the days

heavy,
as a stone unquarried and uncut, 
the sculptor indecisive, reluctant to take up his chisel

some indeterminate 
unfixed need
slithers, struggles for expression
through restive eyes...

Timing
Timing is the key to whether
Many things pan out.
We wait too long, we’ve missed the boat;
We know what that’s about.

Procrastination may cause
Opportunities to fade
And then regret kicks in
For the decisions we’ve not made.

The timing of a venture
May determine its success.
Too soon or late may wreck it,
Thereby adding lots of stress.

Comedians are criticized
If they can’t nail their timing,
Like rhythmless musicians
(Or a poet bad at rhyming)....
