Sort of out of Sorts

November PAD Challenge:  Day 3  Write a "sort of" poem

Sort of out of Sorts

Sort of… out of Sorts
You could say
From the break of dawn until the end of the day
Out of whack, twisted, and all deranged
I often think my life is kind of strange

Bewildered, befuddled a little confused
By the time I reach my computer
To stir up some muse

like old peanut butter in need of a stir
add the oil, elbow grease
It’s all been a blur.

Sorting through words to express my commands
Observing at a distance
The PAD in the stands

Sorting through poems, comments, replies
Sifting each prompt with a smile, with a sigh

Sorting through feelings across many heart strings
Staying in the challenge amongst so many things

Steadfastly unwavering ever constantly
November PAD challenge
It’s only day three!

At The Lovely Feast

November PAD Challenge:  Day 2  Prompt  poem started by an epigraph

At The Lovely Feast

Are you havin’ fun yet?
-Unknown

Are you having fun yet?
At this lovely feast?

Rampant ramblings of mind, spirit, and heart

unshackled discharges perfected to an art

Fourth Quarter (a nonet)

November PAD Challenge:  Day 2  Prompt use a epigraph (quote) to kickstart your poem

Fourth Quarter (a nonet)

” I began to think my time had come, as the saying is”
-Buffalo Bill

Fourth quarter, put me in the game, Coach
The whole season is on the line
Down by two, one minute left
Sprinting, juke, stop, sidestep
Split the double team
Give me the rock!
Angled shot
Fearless…
Win!

Sometimes I can’t poem until late at night around ten or eleven pm. So I feel like it’s crunch time “fourth quarter”, to get a poem in before midnight.

Have fun!
Happy poeming!

PROCRASTINUS

November PAD Challenge:  Day 1  Procrastination  poem

Procrastination comes from a latin word that literally means “towards tomorrow”
Pros= toward
Crastinus= tomorrow

PROCRASTINUS

Procrastinus genes
knitting malicious code
constructing delay
with tomorrow’s bones
to hold
Passive muscles
in their slow-twitch ways
reacting in silence
reacting always
Lazy ligaments
a deferring spleen
procrastinating cells
are diabolically seen

Forever Delayed

November PAD day 1  Prompt:  Procrastination poem

Forever Delayed

At odds with today
And never the place to be
I’m forever delayed
For tomorrow is my destiny

Taking the Bull by the Horns

November PAD day 1  Not the greatest poem in the world but here it is!

Stir the pot, loose the muse
Read, write
Spark the fuse
Enjoy the electric sensation
Of this November celebration

I’m ready and I’m psyched
For this PAD
You know it, I’m hyped

The pen of a ready writer
equilibrium of a steady fighter
Throw your blows
Let your words flow
For this thirty day challenge!

Veiled Beauty

Why do I long after your veiled beauty?

Why hide thyself amongst the clouds?
I’ve looked and cannot behold
I’ve searched and found thee not
Be not ashamed of thy loveliness,
thy healing radiance
For you are the lesser light bearer
to rule the night
a precious stone amid a star studded cast
and heavenly host
yet possessing no light of your own
but only as thou receive
is your boast
