Wasting Poems

Premium MemberTraffic Jam Schadenfreude

Every morning, I work from home
I turn on the radio, if I'm unhappy and alone
You hear so much misery when the car jams are told
Make you feel happier, if you're mean and cold

The outbound George has a disabled tractor trailer
Some drivers now are cursing like a sailor.
On the inbound Holland there is police activity
Imagine all

Wasting Time

Days fly by
We've created our own version of time
Foggy memories seep through our brains
Been known the definition of insane
But still playing the same old game
Just because reality is sometimes too lame
Problems just seem to appear
An we're the only ones to blame
It's time for a change
Fear keeps us in the same old lane
Praying for the strength

Zelensky is wasting time with puppet at this juncture

From "rare earth for aid" to blank check security guarantee, Zelensky recently made a series of blind concession to Trumpery, who trumpeted long and long for a "peace" deal with the invader. Everybody has a clear judgement that buckling to such crapola will wipe out all of Ukraine's previous resistance efforts and prostrate their strength

Premium Memberstop wasting time

too much time wasted on …
comparing, complaining, criticizing
listening to others’ opinions of you
thinking some people do not like you
life is too short to waste time!
spend time on …
thanking, appreciating what you have
ignoring others’ opinions of you
accepting not everyone will like you 
knowing yourself, strengths and imperfections

Premium MemberWasting Time Writing Poetry

We write poems, not poetry
And we don’t waste our time
We denounce the scandalous slime
As we expose all unspeakable crimes
We throw lemons, limes and rhymes
At them to chase away what’s so ugly
In them. We definitely want a better
World of compassion, love and peace
We cannot sleep at night, since there’s a list
Of good deeds and things that

Wasting Time Is a Crime

If time is not properly managed
Surely life will be getting damaged
As time will leave us urgently
We mustn't touch troubles gently

Time if is wasted without sense
The route to defeats, it opens
Instead if we are very careful
Victories are indeed plentiful

Time can never be retrieved
Something must be achieved
We must work in full flow
To get the gold, let us

Premium MemberMuses Are Wasting Their Time

The words are dazzling, razzling, ripping and roaring.
I cannot tear them out of my mind fast enough.
They are chastising, criticizing, laughing and staring.
Some days my muses are rowdy, rough and tough.

Can you give me a second to go to the bathroom? I beg.
When I come back in a few seconds, there is no hope.
Hilarious joke!

Stop Wasting Precious Time Everyone and Call the Next Defendant Please Andy

Woke up jumped off the couch and
put on a mask
Used in order to survive another average day
Sat on the stairs lit up and smoked
enough to blow a mind and descend
into a heady hazy trance

Oh boy John said to Paul

I just watching the news today

Witnessed both a declaration and a 
timely reminder to the everyman
To in

The Demise of Time

Like sands
Through the hourglass
My thoughts percolate
Between instant gratification
And long-term resolution.

Like an unfaltering pool
Of sinking sand
My dissatisfaction agglutinates
With foolish gibberish
To obscure optimism.

Like a withering stalk
My shrivelling aspiration 
Matches and clashes 
With swelling inertia
Resulting in dispiriting
Deprivation of direction.

Like a valley of ash
My barren essence
Gasps for restitution -
For a preserving elixir
To cogently overturn
The demise of time.

whilst sigh of heart treasures

scattered thoughts resurrect
in dreams fear fraught dissect 

when head melds with our heart
then our true life does start

I simpy don't understand my new psychiatrist
I've already completed three one-hour sessions
He sits there transfixed, listening to me as if I were
the most interesting person to ever walk this earth...

I can't tell you one single thing about this fellow
other than he wears jeans, he's left-handed
and he doesn't need listening lessons
Next session, he talks or I

Bootless

Ten years spun into ballooning wear
Keep slipping through tighter fingers, 
Fresh year's tries in futility repair
Adamant dents of wasting days.   

Naive New Year's Eves pop in and go
In swift succession of dying dreams, 
Most astute labors bootless bow;
Giving up more rewarding seems.

No tiny stone now unturned remains, 
Yet progress-freezing agues fetid ail;
 Stinging

Wasting Paper

I’ve spent days wasting paper 
Just trying to write a simple song
Describing the way I feel
Knowing that she’s long gone
I don’t lose my words often 
But some say I’m better off 
Just take this time to heal
And clear your head 
But that is all too simple 
Cause you don’t have to sit at home 
While

Premium MemberSorry For Wasting Your Time

My friends and family wonder thusly
On these hours lost to idle rhyme
Where such tales and thoughts expressed
Seem an affront on precious time.

My desire to fixate on every word
To produce a work they'll never read
Is a joy of love they will never know
On what this poet feeds.

So I slog away at the words of old
To give
