Suddendeath poetry Challenge: Late!

Welcome to this weekend’s Suddendeath poetry challenge, Late! Anyways, rules are as follows, write a poem in any style using the five words that I give you. Write it in one sitting or in under an hour (only to quash your inner editor, rules are loose there). Add it here, OR link in a comment so we can enjoy each other’s poems. The words can be in any plurality or tense. Today’s words are late, rushed, hurry, hectic, busy. My entry is below: ------------------------------------------------------- I hate being late, I hate being rushed I hate feeling frazzled, showing up flushed. Running around like a chicken, trying to hurry, Grabbing lunch and shoes, starting to worry. Will I make it in time, being late is so hectic. I am too busy to be, at myself being apoplectic. I want to be early, and calm and collected Being late ruins my mood, and my day is affected!

She cried when she found out she was late, It must have happened on their hot third date. Her life was busy before but now it will be crazy, She wishes she could just relax a while and be lazy. She needs to make a decision in a hurry, So that she can stop all the needless worry. The baby is not what she had planned on for sure, If she keeps it her life will be rushed even more. But that little one growing inside of her now, Makes her realize soon she’ll be big as a cow!

lovely piece, and a direction I TOTALLY did not expect with this, which is, to be fair, one of my favorite things about these.

late, rushed, hurry, hectic, busy You are always in a rush, always in a hurry. As if everything and everyone around is blurry. You are always late, To all our dates. It makes me wonder what's keeping you so busy. Life is hectic! I wish your excuses ain't so cheesy!

hohoho! I woke up late And rushed for work, But had to wait Because one clerk Was very busy. He was preaching To drunkee. That's not very easy To have a hectic man for teaching. Some tried to hurry That old priest. I didn't worry, I was pleased.

late, rushed, hurry, hectic, busy I was almost too late To get to the show But I rushed to get my camera And to the bedroom I go In a hurry I ran To catch busy Scar As he hectically screamed At a stray in the yard This just happened 5 minutes ago
GET OUT OF MY YARD BEFORE I COME OUT THERE AND KICK YOUR ASS MOTHERF**KER!!!
