Timer Dings

When the timer dings
and the oven door opens
everyone smiles
fresh, hot, chocolate chip cookies~
Memories flood the senses

Good Timer

Ant
Growing
In the line
Of Discipline
To earn the life's goal
Hard work in time
Judge the worth
Of each

Premium Member A Hip Old Timer

A hip old-timer in Bowling Green
somehow thinks he’s still seventeen
His hair’s Brill Cream slick
He thinks Gidget’s his chic
And he’s sure he’s the next James Dean

Premium Member Sand Timer

If I held all of the world in the palm of my hand
and it was in my gift to give or to take, or share
I would give it all to halt the trickle of the sand,
indeed, myself, for without you, life is hard to bear.

Old Timer; And Fork Tailed Swifts

This stepped jest, knobby legged farce
Which, more wobbly,  falls;
Old man's, up at that wing'ed
Is but left -laughing!

Air, as they do, a look of
Unrestrained relief.
'Whoopee!' with each quick sharp turn
Their own sky track in.

Premium Member Two-Timer

There was once a two-timer named Drew
  He got caught by his bride to be Sue
         Greeted him with a whack
          Turning his left eye black
Then she eloped with his best mate Stew

Birthday For An Old-Timer

His wife takes him to dinner
as she always does
on his birthday wearing

bright red lipstick, a color 
she detests but he likes. 
He knows this means 

when they get home 
bright red panties will call 
like a beacon in the night.

A two-timer cheater from New York town 
Who just enjoys so much to go down 
Stocks tires and his likes 
He owns cars and a pink bike 
And he uses them when does it all down!

Can we say once as in once upon a time
or do we now say one
I am no longer speaking
I'm busy learning how to mime.

I find it so confusing
and taxing to my brain
I don't think it's amusing
The fact is it's insane

Why have things changed so
It isn't very nice
We are now to say two times
What was wrong with twice

Premium Member Egg Timer Poem

This teacher demanded that I write on cue.
Putting my art through an egg timer.
She forgot about the soul
how inspiration comes in starbursts
not pulled through a narrowing throat.

The egg timer is tipped over
the pencil sleeps in the slot
nothing but sand and egg on paper
what did she expect
Michelangelo or Seurat!

Sand Timer

Complacency is like a sand timer, each grain a moment slipping through, a slow trickle of potential, filling the void of inaction, until the last grain falls, and we find ourselves in the stillness, staring at the empty glass, haunted by the echoes of time gone, wondering where our dreams have fad ed

Premium Member A Magic Timer Please

I would like a magic timer please
To turn all the fairy tale frogs back into princes.
And a sparkly gold and silver money tree
To plant in the backyard and share with the neighbors.

I would like a pink pony with a unicorn horn,
Ribbons in her main, with a smart red carriage.
Decorated with roses and sunflowers.
You can sit in it while I roar past in my fire engine clanging the horn.

Premium Member Kitchen Timer Inspiration

i set the kitchen timer
and attempt to beat the clock
it is the only way i can do things mundane

weirdly when the timer goes off
i reset it and begin the next banal task
in the throes of it, I glare at the timer

However, I have to reset it a third, fourth, and maybe a tenth time
to keep going
If there is one thing I despise it is
cleaning, dusting, washing clothes, and paperwork.

The timer is my only inspiration.

Naked to the bone 
To the earth we fall 
Grains falling through time 
Like quick sand a vacuum 

Each one of us a grain 
Becoming one 
with the earth 
Leaving our footprint 

Through sandstorms blindly 
Searching the deepest depths 
An ocean of life 
Walking over  sands 
Leaving an impression 

a footprint 
Left in the sands of time 
Creating this sandcastle 
Each grain
the building block 

Blown away in time 
In memory of life 
A grain 
of thought
