Without You -- Mineus You

i
you are missed
not the fence-sitter
the open-hearted you

II
why hide
from truth, small ... large
the earth spins on (MINE US)

I Quit

It's time I admit that I am a quitter 
No longer, am I, a cigarette sitter
The stick, I flung
To save some lung
And now I am abnormally bitter

Soul Sitter

In lightness
sight is easy
In darkness
impossible

There’s a place
in between

I kept knocking
until
A little voice
Whispered

Excuse me
the soul sitters
not at home

Queen Elizabeth's Beefeater

You stand alone, so full of brawn
Poise you have, that of a sitter
You stand steadfast, until the dawn
That weapon you wield, will always glitter
Your spirits remain high, never bitter.

Premium Member Mended Zafu, Unmended Sitter

worn-white zafu,
dented permanently
and wryly receiving
my bottom and my word
"permanently."

It shows impressions
from my demanding waitings,
just as my mind does.

Ah! The problem.

Premium Member Cat Sitter

My hemorrhoid 

    cushion

looks a lot like

our black cat 

    curled up 

on my recliner

So, I am 

    always 

worried about 

   sitting 

   on her

Although 

she would

   be soft.

Premium Member Cozy Mouse

Cozy mouse’s grandmother was an avid knitter.
She said I can knit up whatever, but I am not a sitter.
Her daughter thought it was funny, for there was a new litter.
She made a tiny coat for each one using yarn with turquoise glitter.

Premium Member Four Year Olds Need their Nap Routine

Insanely bad mood
Snippy and snarling
He is four-years-old
Fighting his nap time
Baby sitter folds

He falls asleep
at six o’clock
when parents come
to take him home

grouchy boy
cannot eat
wants his bed

routine
broken

sad

Fence Sitter

Being a middle child
Made my temperament mild
And not so demonstrating
But some would think off-putting

But it is not a popular place
When the world appears in a race
And sitting on the fence
Is one made for defence and not offence.

An Eat Sweets Quitter

an eat sweets quitter
her teeth shine and do glitter
of our baby sitter

hope my teeth will stay
never leave or go astray
do brush every day

teeth were hard to bare
cavities were here and there
should brush them with care

Have dental appointment today.

Premium Member He Can Handle the Kittens

Oh, sure, Mr. Ruff can handle these kits, the Mama Cat said.
She gave him all kinds of credit and kept her dog-sitter well fed.
Mr. Ruff did his best, he really truly did, but they got the best of him.
He was too easy on the kittens, who were full of vigor, vinegar and vim.

  Today, class, we study the cat
    He or she is an acrobat
  Walks a tightrope 'tween low maintenance
    and aristocratic independence

  Some deem it common sense
    others, pure effulgence
  Your instructor used to be a kitty-sitter
    until he took a whiff of kitty litter

Premium Member Don'T

Don't be a burden
but a blessing.
Don't be a complainer
but a changer.
Don't be a pessimist
be an optimist.
Don't be a quitter
be a sticker.
Don't be a sitter
be a doer.
Don't become complacent
and wait for things to happen,
cause them to happen.
Don't be part of the problem
be the solution.
Make Jesus proud.

Private Sitter

A friend in need
Is a friend indeed.
Working together
we succeed.

Unable to use
arms and feet
or voice, he
can complete

An email or
ask for more
of peach tea
or more from me.


He is a friend.
We get along.
His body's weak.
His mind is strong.

His good humor
strengthens me.
I am blessed,
undoubtedly!

Sitter

I've got a sitter called Mub,

a boring hitter in a bum-

the crisscrossing of falling things evaporate with me,

as I'm seeing,

savoring moments of feelings becoming beamed,

but I get back after a whole thing,

sauntering-
and rock climbing-
and coarse rhyming,

blasting um' all off but still needing more timing.

Premium Member babysitters never came back

babysitters never came back a second time
it’s not our fault we lied, we were not bad
one of them got stuck in turpentine
but the worst sitter of all was our dad

they were no trouble at all he told our mother
when she woke him from his deep sleep
this was before we had a little brother
three of us really made a sitter weep

Premium Member Old Zafu, Old Sitter

Gray hairs on my zafu...
Incense, all but dust...

I'm running out of time
to run out of 'me.'

I'm running out of trust
that I might ever see

a world without me
from a place within
without me peering
out.

Gray hairs on my zafu...
Incense, all but dust...
The light is low,
this I know,
and there lies
the Problem.

Track Sitter

Track sitting Sitting on the railway track, But the train has come and gone. Blind with pain of my sore back, Sitting on the railway track, Feeling taut but maybe slack, Hurtful feelings now begone, Sitting on the railway track, But the train has come and gone. Don Johnson 5-aug-11
