1 Minute Poetry

One minute poetry,
First thing that comes to mind.
Suddenly all those clever words
Are very hard to find.

The structure, topic, they're up to you,
But the challenge is thus:
Can you write a poem
In one minute or less?

Burn

Your eyes Set a fire Inside, That only Your kiss, Your lips, Your hands On my hips, Can slake, So take Me while you can, Before I start Burning for Another man. #minute.

Tick Tock

One minute to go Says the hand on the clock As it makes it's way round With a tickety-tock One minute too soon As the clock counts down Scribbling words with My brow in a frown.

Defy

Going forward Leaving them behind Me behind Look behind You will find The past. They're stuck. Bad luck. Staying where they're put. I fight I move Go Go Defy Defy The sky The sky It's change. Strange.

Date

#minute. In a minute or less. I have to get ready. And somehow squeeze this dress. I am always late. When going on a date. He doesn't like to wait. Which is not really that great. So we don't go out.

I Could...

I could swim the seven seas, But I fear the salt makes me sneeze, I could fly way up in the sky, But I fear it is way too high, Perhaps I'll sit out this one time, Practice my adventures first in...

Errrrrrr maybe.

Not boasting but it's rare I spend longer than 10 minutes anyway. I'll give this a go later. :)

Done

@naaviie Haha it's a challenge, I agree!
