Slack Up Poems - Poems about Slack Up


I’M RUNNING A GODDAMNED UNIVERSE CUT ME SOME SLACK!!!

I can’t imagine 
how painful it is to 
be God. 

Trying your hardest 
to make a beautiful painting, 
only to have the characters 
you created complain and 
mock the world around 
them. 

Why does God let bad things 
happen to good people? 

Pretty sure you’d walk 
away from the canvas too 
if it spat back

Premium MemberI must have promised

I must have promised to diligently strive
to get up each morning by half past five.
Drink my java, watch the news, keep
things quiet and let her snooze..
Wash up at our bathroom sink but keep
the faucet trickling so she gets a full drink..
Serve her a chicken pate dish, never meat
and seldom fish..
If I'm met with defeat offer

Premium MemberSlack Jack - Bawdy Limerick

Jack loves to recline on his back
Especially when he's in the sack
He says to his bride
D’ya fancy a ride
She exclaims, your todger’s too slack!
 
Jack wanted to give her a thrill
So swallows a little blue pill
It works, way hey hey
They’re bonking all day
He’s happy and satisfies Jill

Slack

“Stop pushing so hard”
“I can't take the pressure”

I heard someone say
just the other day

“I really feel that
I should do this...
but I'm pulled the other way”

As if we are caught
in a web of our making
all tangled up
in each others strings

Twisted and manipulated
into certain duties
when our efforts
would be better spent
on more important things

Judging, demanding
not understanding
we all have

One cent, two cents,

Two bits, four bits,

Ship me a grasshopper

Fly like a whippoorwill

Cut Me Some Slack

I am so sick of all the negativity
Moaning is their best activity
I am so tiered of all the sad faces 
Its like they lost all their races
Anger everywhere, no piece at all
Ten, one, one, I have to make that emergency call
When I look all around me 
Destruction is all that I see
They are wondering around

Cut Me Some Slack

Lyrics II-The Black Crowes
Sponsor: Rob Carmack


My Poem:

Cut me some slack tonight,
ease off until I find my sight,
and light,
I’m on my way downward; it’s your song,
you’re always wrong,
I’m never right.

If I get one slim record of your past,
can you fold your cards at last,
and fast,
there’s no rising in the east,
the west is unbound, at least,
while I

I Take No Slack

Out you GO!
And don't COME BACK
For last I CHECK, you was talking SMACK.

And you were probably smoking CRACK
and because of that, I don't want you BACK.
And nor do I have  to have your BACK.

And so, my dear, looks like you are on your own.
And why is that? for I am not HOLDING BACK.
And nor

Slack Tide

SLACK TIDE

moon draws
back slack
high lows
collide

new address
to compress
I digress…

seas glide
as shores
abide
waves hide
then
subside

unpack
draw back
stress-smack
hide-crack

I assess
undress
and
digest

cast aside
this
great divide
worldwide
deep
inside

Premium MemberSunday Slack Attack

Wouldn't you know it

don't tell me you don't ever

feel this way

after lunch, particularly

on Sundays

I find motivation lacking

just want to veg out

even have a sleep

but usually the phone rings

just when you're in

that limbo state

where the mind lets go

and the daydream ideas flow

good and odd inspiration

for poems

off the wall


 the doorbell

jolts you

back to reality

 

ahm

 

where was

Crack Slack

Do you know the guy
who works his rear
right out of his jeans??
 

Then I have a tale for you:

This is my town---na -na--na---na!

Crack Police on the scene

In pursuit perp.,
with K-9 crack sniffer,
Jack Rabbit Russell.

Tracking exposed crack
via baggy butt or belly 
by apple strudell overload!
Also can be rendered
crack slack via no thought shopping!

Ethology of the Slack Jawed

What kind of erroneous stink drifts so heavily in this 5X5 home
We have constructed with mud and sticks
I sleep with feet piercing through the front/back door
The cicadas are nesting between my toes up to my nose
The morning has slung its unnecessary burdens upon the scion tendrils 
Shooting from earth cracks in the garden
For those with

Premium MemberHawaiian Slack Key

It comes around again, and again,
it hits high and it hits low,
a steady run,
and then it comes around again,
and again,
it sets your toe to tapping,
and then your leg,
your whole body,
and then it comes around again
and again.
You can stay there sitting, analyzing
like some stupid mainland haole,
and then it comes around again,
and again,
and your reserve starts to

No Slack

forgive me lord for not being there
forgive me for not taking the initiative to care
please fill the gap between us two
i want to really, really know you
i've separated myself with substitutes of you
it's just me and you and the two of us can make it through
heart to heart you know i love you
now it's time
