Squandering Poems | Examples


Premium MemberSquandering Thoughts

Despite the present pike pandemonium in our life,
Those in charge would have us to think it’s a Greek joke;
That we must continue to deal with present-day strife
As if it is a temporary faith-testing suffering bearing yoke.

Yes, like the Pharaohs of old, they have depended on the faith of us
Who have never failed to put our belief in the God that we trust;
Not understanding that we’ve never had to test the promised word
But with divine wisdom and guidance, practiced what we had heard.

Like our ancestral beings at the slave ships slaving home-land docking,
Know that we too will survive with that same wisdom and guidance
To overcome the present days’ shadowed earthquake-like rocking
For we are ever energized by the ever-flowing lightning radiance;

Be not afraid of the choices that you have spiritually made,
Praying with divine wisdom and guidance, it‘s the thing to do
That you do not have to worry about the promise that’s been said;
Solidified by the true faith that’s been given to faithful you:-

Premium MemberSquandering a Brilliant Mind

ideas jumped onto her head and back
Slid down her neck like wood ticks off of oak trees
She discounted them all
Wasting an IQ of 145,
Squandering a brilliant mind
Full of ideas 
Due to the lack of confidence in herself.

Premium MemberSquandering Warm Days

I shiver uncomfortably in this freezing tundra
Marveling at all the warm days I squandered
Totally wasted, not valuing them at all
For their warm sunshine and their pretty flowers
Days in June, July, August, and September.
If I had back just one of these days would I squander it?
Or would I appreciate her? Would I be wise enough 
To sit in the sun and bask in her hours?
Or would I waste her, taking her for granted,
Forgetting there are months of this freezing tundra?

Pondering Squandering

everyone likes to think
everyone loves to think
that they don't need to

know

what's so important
as a venus fly trap 
snapping that i 
already don't 

know

that i even
asked but
i thought

it was slow
and painless
so i wrote it

not thinking
thoughts could
be caught

and my words
twisted and 
taken to

fahrenheit 
in different
degrees and can

be still 
thought
below freezing

without
the breath
of you saying

no 
but
worse

yes

afraid to 
look it in the eye
