The Knight Shift

My wife is a Registered Nurse
At 60, she still had "The Curse"
A Time Machine
Helped her come clean
But our Edsel is stuck in reverse

Three Neanderthals

I heard three Neanderthals in Albuquerque
                       This neighborhood's unhealthy for us
                               We need a Time Machine.

The Red Cape of Mars

The Red Cape
Of mars 
Captures this
Florescent wind
In a time machine
Then, hurls
This vessel 
Beyond these 
Sacred stars
Comfort me
Red cape of Mars

Premium Member Times Two

A time machine bought off the shelf Touted usage for those lacking wealth. The thing was a joke; Used it once and it broke. Poor guy was beside himself.

Premium Member Abilene Time Machine

A frugal inventor in Abilene
has finally perfected a time machine
He goes way back in time
brings back beer for a dime
and watches the Super Bowl on his big screen

Time Machine

Happy birthday, dear Sarah Jean, 
People travel into the past; 
Permitted by the time machine, 
Trip into the future is fast.

Premium Member Time Machine

Memory wanes, portal to another time; beings diverse filter past upon a screen past illusions future delusions empires now tattered by time’s blade.

Premium Member if I had a time Machine

If I had a time machine
I would give it to someone else
Because deciding on whether to go into the future
Or back into history would cause me unbelievable stress
It would be easier to stand by and watch

Live Your Dream

Live your dream
By Michelle Morris
27/07/2020

Life moves in one direction -
It stops for no one, 
without exception;
So unless you have a 
time machine, 
make time for your life;
Live your dream.

Premium Member Vault In the Attic

A
Vault
In the
Attic holds
Photos and keepsakes
Treasured as a golden nugget
Holding the far memories that persist over time
Yearning secretly that a time machine would exist to bring back the past left behind

Time Travel

if time travel 
was possible  
if someone 
invented a time machine
would steal it to 
take a quick jaunt
into the past 
three years ago to be exact 
to a time before 
the estrangement 
to forewarn my past self 
of the emotional danger to come
Form: Lyric

Time Machine

Channeling.

A tunnel
Speeding through
this
Collection

And such memories
Race to slow
Down 

Where all 
my lovers
empty themselves

Naked, laughing
and touching flesh. 

They consecrate
This nostalgic exercise

And I smile
Embraced by such a
connection.

One's First Love 2k11

No Fairies, no Genies, nor wishing-well.  
Sorcerer's duplicate not first love's spell.  

No Time-Machine to moments of one's yen;  
Ah, bathe in love for one's first time again!  

With memories one sips Fountain-of-Youth;  
Transporting back one where love first proved truth.
Form: Couplet

Mixed Up

I tiptoe to the best tree
Found here to make a Moody Winter
A dome generator Snowing
A time machine is flowing 

Dream if You can
Of Winters Whiter
I tiptoe lighter
Somebody, is it the Wizard that's helping you!

Does it matter!
Creation is creation after all..
Make it Clatter
Now!

A Day Off

Bills to pay
Laundry to do
Mow the lawns
Wash truck too

Prune the trees
Dust here and there
Tow the cars
Go everywhere

Feed the animals
The garage to clean
Pull the weeds
I need a time machine

A day off like this 
Doesn't sound fun
So off to the mountains
My chores won't get done!

Music

ROBERT SHERRIFF - AUSTRALIAN - POET -AUTHOR - SINGER - ACTOR - AMERICAN HISTORIAN – PHOTOGRAPHER

Music being like a time machine is such a beautiful thought. It can transport us to different life moments, evoke memories, and stir emotions. Do you have a favourite song or music that takes you back in time?

Cost? Um...the cost? A million times a million X.X

Hope of rope - it hits home...it hangs in there...

Angry and estranged...confused and amused...

Nothing costs a lot...time spent with you is like change...

Great! I have plenty in my pocket...

Empty-handed now...so? Buy a time machine and change, duh!

Granny Sat Upon the Time Machine

Granny sat upon the time machine
                                 With mustard sauce,salt and sardine;
                                      In the year Three Thousand,
                                         My son was her husband
                                      In the port city of Aberdeen.

Had So Much Potential

Had so much potential
Feel I have squandered
It all away 
Not at all how I had
Thought my life would 
Turn out
Never could my younger 
Self have ever had ever imagined
How massed up I would cause my 
Life to become 
Wish I had a time machine
To go back in time and tell
My younger self never to 
Let things get this far gone

The Dissipation of Modern Rhythmic Suffering

whispering a tune
blue tablet vibrating 
to the gentle wind's rhythm
as we all cooperate with blowing
locks of nostalgia

never bored in my time machine
the sands of time wave at me with
flowing currents of sincerity

i never have to wait
for the old fryer is never late
i am forever pulled in by 
gravitational forces of melancholy bliss....

Premium Member I wish I had--

I wish I had
been kind to Dad

Mostly I tried...
but left him mad

I wanted him
to be less sad

I would prefer
to make him glad

Buy him new shirts
perhaps in plaid

However he
likes to be clad

Make him proud of
my college grad.

A time machine
would be so rad

I could go back
and be less bad

And most of all:
more kind to Dad

If Only If I Have a Time Machine

if only i can turn back time,
i could save all my dimes,
pass my tests,
find all my lost items .
see everything thats left,
right behind.

if only i had not been so foolish,
my popularity would take a huge leap,
if i can turn back time,
i would turn it to all the times 
that i have been happy,
and not those which are so sappy.

if only if i had a time machine.

All we have to decide? Is what to do with the time given to us.' 
Its time that will beat the mountains down
And in its wake, the bard can take the old
Black quarrel' in still sturdy shape, to launch it from an 'old time machine' above
Lake and town, with accuracy keen.' Black to black, into the heart so goes the attack.'
To bring the dragon down, and save the frowns.'
