Subject Poetry Contest.

With a Side of Impatience...

I don't have the patience to what for the time
When you choose to notice me
I walk among you, looking for a sign
But your eyes are trained to see me not

I don't have the patience to wait until
You finally hear what I am trying to say
I cry out for comfort and you never care
Your ears are trained to hear me not...

I don't have the patience to wait for the moment
You allow me to be me by any sense
You may not hear and you may not see
For your brain is trained to understand me not...

My patience is gone for constantly having
To explain why I am the way I am
Since you don't see, hear, or understand me
I really need you not...

Thanks, Pendragon! This is definitely a contest now.

More entries! More entries!

Contest ends Friday morning, August 5th.

patience is slow
but it takes you there
where you go
because
where time
may not mind
it finds
waiting is a cure
for dating
when going
off
is waiting

Contest is over! Thank you for all the entries.

Danik 2016: I liked the idea that one needs more than patience.

tailor STATELY: I liked the idea of suffering associated with patience.

Pendragon: This would be an argument against being too patient.

cacian: I agree that the slowness of patience still gets one where one wants to go.

Humor feeds the heart of man
With what he hopes is true
And woman feels she likely can
Do what she’d want to do.

And anyone is happy when
A joke pops through the air
Since giggles entertain us then
So we no longer care.

This poem is a simple one.
It rhymes and sounds like verse.
I hope that when it’s finally done
It don’t make matters worse.

Thank you YesNo for giving us a worthy start !

Exit, Laughing

Gallows humor is what you use
When your lot in life becomes infused
With horrors that leave you confused
As to which path you should pursue
The humor is black, a raven hue
That should give the hearer a clue
From words said and tone construed
I laugh to prevent feeling used...

Acrostic on Humour.


How is it, when I see your face,
Under the spotlights telltale glare,
My skin grows cold, my heart does race,
Off and away my legs would hare.
Unleash my fears, bring darkness down,
Reveal yourself, dread white faced clown.

Woo hoo ! Three entries: more, more...
