Gotta Minute?

Have you a minute
to race fleeting time?
With this, I challenge you
make a minute's rhyme.

Set the timer for sixty secs
writing thoughts in mind,
telling what could take place
in just a minute's time.

It takes but sixty seconds
to formulate a rhyme
but I haven't any meter,
and sometimes less in time
but I thought I'd give a go
to see what would come out,
for its interactions just like these
that help poetry come about...

Sunshine,
   no meter, no time?
   Then how were you able
   to come by this rhyme?

   I really enjoyed your short bleep!

It has been said many a time
Sunshine! leave alone the rhyme
Stick with free verse!
Or you will be cursed!
Along with being nickeled and dimed!

The curse of Sunshine?
It could never be
From your lips,
it's the rhyme you breathe.


As you can see, this is shabby, but fun!

It took just 60 seconds
for Sunshine to peek through clouds
and shine upon a Sadelite
circling 'round the word; opps world.  
When Sun's beams sparked metallic crust
Sadelite challenge went bust.

   I went bust!   You got me!   Actually, I have my minutes rhyme, but I didn't post it yet!   Wait a minute---I'll post it later!
   Nice job!!

nakdthoughts,
   45 seconds?   Wow!
   Surely this can not be,
   Truly, it is false!
   But if it really is in fact,
   I'd like to see you twirl

Sadelite, I'll be watching for
your minute's rhyme.
I'm really glad you took the time
to stop and read the one of mine.
So now you go I'll catch you later
I'll be watching for your crater!

Only just one minute
to sit and make a rhyme?
Can it be accomplished
in such a short amount of time?
Here I am just the same
doing my very best
and I'll add this little ditty
right along with all the rest...

ok.......52 seconds...lol

What could take place in a minute?
Toerag could woo and be done in it.
He's such a lover, finishes fast,
And wonders why his girfriends don't last.

In a minute Balladeer can woo
Any gal who is feeling blue.
He's too quick for some gals here,
But that is just our Balladeer.

whew!

There's no telling what could be said
In just a minute's time
If I tried to rhyme that fast
I'd probably lose my mind
Still though it's fun to sit down and try
To figure out what could be said in the blink of an eye

50 seconds

"love is like a butterfly--
if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"

Now wait just a long John minute
something seems to be so wrong
Here LJA speaks of two lovers...
and leaves out his own love song!

Something tells me you should pry
just to see what he will rhyme,
Perhaps he needs more incentive
and perhaps, just a little more time!

To extol upon my virtuous deeds.
I'm gentle and a marvelous wit
Admirer of women's thighs and ...ooops.

To LngJhn,
    Poor Toerag of whom you jest!
    As a lady, I'll defend him beyond a minute,
And simply say it's his enthusiastic poetry
That causes them to take a rest!

    As for the woo of Balladeer,
One I can truly tell,
Caught up in his flats and sharps,
He'd remove the blue from any gal  

Whew back at you!

Your wit and charm amaze me
As I read here in my chair
of Balladeer, Toerag and Sunshine
I'm new, the memory fades there

A one minute challenge
to pry out of thin air some rhyme
Where do you guys find it?
Send it my way - if you've the time

Okay, that was totally terrible, but HEY I took the challenge!

Hi, Nan!
   I appreciate your comment and I sigh with you-- I can't do the tough stuff--you know, the kind that is supposed to leave a staying thought!   Well, it's about expression anyway--I guess it doesn't matter what we write as much as the pure fact that we do write.   You plant the imagery that sticks.
I'm envious.  Incidently, you did rhyme!

There once was a legal assistant,
writing odes good, ever consistent
Her poems did rhyme,
leastways most the time,
A bad poem by her non-existent.

So I'll bid adieu, go nighty nights,
This being the end of my ode bites.

Sadie’s challenge takes me back
to my days of running track
and even worse, you see for rhyming
I have never run for timing.
If I do not hit the wall
some simple verses will be all
I could ever hope to write
there’ll be no rhyme-on-line tonight--
you don’t have to be a writing speeder
to become the famed Ratleader!

GAH! 58 Seconds! Don't want no rematch!

But I went back and corrected my 5000 typos and punctuation fubars....... so maybe this doesn't count.....

I yearn to stroll on a sandy beach
but at the moment it's out of reach
I miss the crashing surf and sea,
so woe is me, woe is me
I'm in the middle of the city,
and it feels so .....
well, you know how it feels to be
in the middle of a too-busy city
when your mind is sifting sand
between your toes
and the taste of salt air
is wafting up your nose

I'm sitting here with a long face
Feeling as though I'm out of place
For, you see, my mind's erased
No rhyme is mine today...

And a minute isn't very long
For pen to compose poem or song
Therefore, I figure this is all wrong
But I wanted to join the play.

You say I have a minute
well that's not much time
To fit so much in it
And still make it rhyme.

Let's see now what can I do
So little I can think to say
things so profound
I can't think so fast
I feel it...I'm nearing the last few seconds I'm losing ground
I just can't think of any thoughts that would last.
: ( and off I go with my face sad
Because with this I know I did so bad.

A poem in a minute?
What could I put in it?
Some anecdote or clever
Way to say whatever?

Could I amaze the reader
With some display of meter
Or academic rhyme
Concocted in that time?

So think there's nothing to it
But, no, I cannot do it.
If I don't take it slow
My poems will not flow.

So I'll tiptoe, as always,
Through Passion's rooms and hallways
And, though I may be slow
I get where I must go.

56 seconds...

With the rhymes we all want to say

Takes longer than a minute, I confess

Too fast, too fast
I say to you
To rhyme and chime
and make it do.

To give some words
of wit and humor.
To let it go,
let it glimmer.

To make a feather
float the air
To break the weather
and take a dare.

I guess I'll quit
and send along
these words writ
but not my song.

My muse is sucking right now...sheesh!

To Suthern,
   I don't believe your mind erased,
   Nor do I believe you're out of place!
   For you composed a two verse poem
   Even though,just a minute long.

   Thanks for playing along with this crazy endeavor!  So often, we forget how much can be accomplished in just one minute!

SharaRose,
  
    Ah, of desperation in your poem I hear
    The thoughts of race, we race the year.
    Thinking that we're losing ground,
    But only hearing our own mind's sound.
    Perhaps to others, you have gained!

Shara, thank you for taking the challenge.  I hope you had some fun.

   How many words can you tiptoe a minute,
   keeping the constant meter,
   warming every letter as you hit it,
   you make a keyboard heater.

Magnus,
   Sometime, the simplest
   Glitters most-
   Your nimble rhyme
    Your minute's post:

   To make a feather
   float the air
   To break the weather
   and take a dare.

   This sounds like Orville and Wilbur.  
(Tidbit-my grandmother used to run around with Wilbur and a small group of friends.
I don't know much else--only if she would have taken the time to pen...)

Who’ll keep the clock?
Or shall mind my own tick and tock,
And what of the matter made
As to what subject or style is played
Shall I pull from my darkness
The places I roam at night
Or attempt a shine of brightness
Comical or with some insight
But no, it’s the limitation of fingers
Dancing over the keyboard letters
Finding the words that lingers,
Times up!

(isn’t it always)

A Metronome you may wind
if you want metered clock,
or grains of sand whispering
through shadows of your walk,
water wheel whishing down
and troughing sound in sync,
it really doesn't matter what you use,
as long it is you, PG, who thinks.

     Merry Christmas, Professor.

Give me sixty seconds,
I’ll write for thee a rhyme,
The minute hand beckons,
Ere I’d voice the sublime,
‘Tis not the best I know,
But still I’d say hello.

Okay truth is 25 seconds. But I really thought it would take longer to spurt something out. Guess reading everyone else's replies got my mind to thinking before I set the timer on the clock. My subconcious probably had this half written before I penned the first word. Nice challenge Sadelite.

Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history!

Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history!

Toe, Long John, and Deer
Are best of friends I hear
When on here they play
With antics and jokes each day
You would think they would fight
With all of their might
But laughing  with  each other are they!!  

(Okay, it's not perfect, but it was fun...
and, I forgot to set the timer, again!! LOL)

finding this pretty poem..........
            
          A Winter Wedding

Just a touch beneath new sun
Winter time and Spring entwine.
Under flake's fall, white awakes
unsuspecting resting pine.

In dreams she was costumed overnight,
coniferous in her bridal white,
donning crystal finger rays
tipped in petal snow bouquets.

inkedgoddess,
   Thank you!   I'm glad you liked it!  I confess, that one took quite a bit of time, even if it is short!  Thanks for taking the time to read it!

Michelle_loves_Mike,

   Who else would time an idea, word, or thought?
   I'm delighted to contemplate your question.
   Of course, I don't know every truth,
   But my guess is a metered Passion's poet.

Michelle, thanks for the rhyming.   These have been fun to read.  You're right about the people here-
they make everything worthwhile!

Evocative Verse 2,Senior Member,

EV2, how dare you mention
old age and old age pension,
And blaming me for that little bump!
'twas you who jumped the jump!

(for the right effect, you need to imagine Marilyn Monroe singing

Congratulations to you.
Congratulations to you....
Congratulations, dear E.V.,
Congratulations to you.

   New to me are John Long and deer Toe
   And their antics and their fun!

   On Passions has their wit begun?

gary's girl, thanks for joining in on the fun!

Start the clock-here I go,
Wish we were playing in the snow.
Christmas Day is almost here
Looks like a green one again this year.

Now if I waved my magic wand..
And wished for snow of which I'm fond,
Would you come here and help me make
Lovely snow angels down beside the lake?

~Let peace begin with me...

Enchantress,
    Again and again I am amazed
    At what can be done in play
    Of course if snow comes your way,
    Passions angel's would to your house stray
    With wings outspread near your lake.
    
(You see, they have to leave their mark
somewhere!
Do you need some help to prepare?
I can bring hot choc and mint tea...)
        
     Thanks for playing!
                    Sadie

You know I'll help you
Make cute men of snow
I'm your sister - of course
Now let's hurry and go !

The night is blustery
And my cough is hackin'
But the snow's just right-
It's perfect for packin'.

Sixty seconds is up
My dear, so am I
From the lack of snow
I guess so is the sky.

   Nightshade,
  
     You wrote more in sixty
     Than I thought all day!
     Did you scatter dust of Pixie
     To begin you on your way?

    Thank YOU!  So let me get this right...
    you and Enchantress are sisters?  
    I just convinced my sister to begin
    posting, too.  Her name is iliana.  She's
    much better than I.

Yes, Enchantress is my sister dear
She's the one who invited me here.
I am happy that she decided to
Or else I wouldn't have much to do.
To you and your sibling I wish the best
There's always room for another guest.

Nightshade,
   Thank you for replying,
   But now my curiosity has me prying
   Who's the junior and who's the elder,
   And are there other siblings hiding
      behind the Passion doors?

(As to my I.D., I'm the baby of the family. Thanks for your Christmas wishes.  To you and your family the best!

She's my big sister,
She led the way,
As for Passions siblings
It's not for me to say

Aha!
Nightshade is the young one
To this I must confess..
She is the impish little one
At seven I was blessed.

No other siblings are there..
'Cept 'Joey' with the red hair.
He was our father's vent 'doll'
We'd even take him to the mall.


More siblings in Passions?
Could be who knows?
Only the "wizard" and what he says..
Goes!

Enchantress,
  
   Ohhhh. A seven year age span,
   I bet you were...  surprised
   at hearing the stork would land!
   Now, looking back, isn't having an
   impish little sis just grand?

Nightshade,
   I'm so happy she led you here-
   it's a place of rest and wit.
   You can scroll the computer for hours
   or just in reflection sit.
  
   Happy holidays!!!!     Sadie
