8 Poems About Procrastination

1. Take Action Today
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   Procrastination is our deadly foe,
   For tomorrow it'll continue to grow;
   The task at hand just get it done,
   It'll only take a minute or none;
   
   Don't let procrastination take its toll,
   Or else you might lose control;
   Be wise and take action today,
   Before the job begins to fray.




2. Time Can't Be Replaced
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   Time it's something we can not replace,
   Don't let procrastination be your fate,
   Achievement waits upon us all day,
   Our future success is just one task away.
   
   Opportunity passes in the wind and gone,
   For those who wait until tomorrow comes along,
   The same amount of time we all share,
   Don't procrastinate, don't dare!




Poems About Time



3. Make Every Second Count
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   Time is a gift that's given to all,
   It can be used creatively or used to stall.
   A successful person will not let it pass by,
   But makes the best of time with a try.
   
   For progress must come from within our depths,
   Not allowing idle behavior for it will cost regrets.
   Therefore, wise people don't wait and procrastinate,
   Make every second count, now before it's too late.

4. Tomorrow I'll Start
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   Tomorrow I'll start anew, and find myself content,
   With the night ahead of me and a moment well spent
   For procrastination, I shall no longer part,
   The pressure that comes with it tears me apart.
   
   Tomorrow  the energy will flow in waves so grand,
   To start out fresh and make another stand,
   Invigorated by my newfound plans,
   Adventures and surprises await with open hands.
   
   Tomorrow's path is uncertain yet quite interesting to trace,
   Toward the future, I march at a loving steady pace.
   Thoughts clear as glass this time I'll try again,
   To have one more opportunity to begin!

5. Procrastinate No More
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   Procrastinate no more, don’t put it off to the side,
   There's power in starting right away, don't let it hide.
   Success can't come if you do not try,
   Your future awaits if you have the will to fly.
   
   Act while the time is nigh and do not put it aside,
   The things you forego by stalling can not be supplied.
   No gain comes from waiting and complacency won’t intercede,
   Too much is at stake; just do it now so your dreams succeed.




Procrastination Quotes



6. Procrastination Creates More Stress
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   Stressed and overwhelmed, I can find no rest.
   Procrastination only creates more stress.
   For every task that's left behind undone,
   The problem is amplified a ton.
   
   Sitting here in disarray, putting it off was no remedy,
   I realize I've done nothing but run after yesterday.
   It was wrong of me from the start, but I see that now,
   No progress prospers when you delay and allow.




Poems About Stress



7. Stalling
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   Procrastination, an enemy of hope
   Offers no benefits, it doesn't help us cope.
   Stalling just brings on frustration
   For success, it is not a foundation.
   
   Hours pass by while nothing’s achieved
   A crime against progress, of which we all grieve
   Procrastination brings no luck or good fortune
   It’s merely a comfort and short-term diversion.




Poems About Frustration



8. No Time Like The Present
   Poet: Phoebe Cary
   
   If you’re told to do a thing,
   And mean to do it really,
   Never let it be by halves;
   Do it fully, freely.
   
   Do not make a poor excuse,
   Waiting, weak, unsteady;
   All obedience worth the name
   Must be prompt and ready.
   
   If you’re told to learn a task,
   And you should begin it,
   Do not tell your teacher, "Yes,
   I’m coming in a minute."
   
   Waste not moments nor your words
   In telling what you could do
   Some other time; the present is
   For doing what you should do.
