stone casual
spare revolving beggar
block traffic key fever chapped souvenir
Not etched in stone but still it
was not just a casual encounter
He spared no
efforts to determine
that his presence revolving
around a
schedule packed with activities
was well taken care of
Being a beggar
to uphold strict principles
he blocked off
certain unnecessary
encroachments of heavy traffic
bidding for his time
Discipline was maintained by Girl Friday
key to his time
management
A fever pitched
day was broken up
into little sectors to impose and
maintain sanity
Too much talking could result in
chapped lips as
a souvenir
Another great poem from you Hank. You do have the knack of combining the given words into your verse. Great read.
ReplyDeleteDon't wank chapped lips!
ReplyDeleteWANT. What the heck is a wank?
ReplyDeleteFatal mistake if it's in a scientific paper unless discussions revolve around the subject matter!

Too much talk will break up any schedule...
ReplyDeletechapped lips from too much talking? what if you are doing the talking around the water fountaing? ;)
ReplyDeleteThe last two lines ends the poem with a bang!
ReplyDeleteHad to smile at the chapped lips. I enjoyed this, Hank.
ReplyDeleteI thought of chapped lips gotten from gossip...
ReplyDeleteNot something your gent would put up with -
His Gal Friday must be compensated well for keeping up with his demands. :)
My combo piece 'Bubbles' was based on reality. Maybe that's why it seems to be striking a deep cord. Reality oft makes for great fiction. As long as the true identities are kept secret.
It did Jules! Often times we are told that writers draw back on their experiences. That certainly makes their writings very realistic. Thanks!

I think I do this. Beautiful write.
Have to stick on point if you want to get it done, but need to leave a little room in there just in case things go another way
ReplyDeleteLOVE the last line!
ReplyDeleteWow ... what a carousel of visions! Love it! Bastet
