Hello John,
I liked reading your poem, inspired by the interesting quote.
I also love deadlines, and you expressed this thought very well.
It’s challenging to work under pressure, and in most cases the performance is better.
Thank you for sharing another wonderful poem.
Wonderful John. Yes, deadlines give us that adrenalin rush and inspire us to do the impossible, but it is ironic that the word's origin was based on death.
It was created during the American Civil war, where prisoners were kept in an area of 540 by 260 yards with a railing 20 yards inside it. Any prisoner attempting to cross the railing would be shot dead, hence the word "deadline."
Thanks for sharing this wonderful poem John.Thanks, Chitrangada, for sharing John's work.
Wow! Thank you for sharing the origins of the word “deadline” Ravi. That gave it a whole new meaning.
Thank you Raviji for sharing this information! Had no idea about the origin of the word, Deadline!
This is a wonderful poem about deadlines, John. Deadlines sometimes help us get moving, and other times that are difficult. I like the way you covered deadlines in your poem.
I appreciate the history of deadlines, Ravi. Thank you for posting John's poem, Chitrangada.
I really loved your poem about "Deadlines", John. Personally, I have both good and bad experiences of working with deadlines. Many times I worked enjoyably under a deadline but other times it was really pressurizing and draining. But I made it most of the times. Thank you for your poem reminding me about deadlines.
I love Ravi's explanation of the origin of the word "deadline." Thank you, Chitrangada, for highlighting John's work.
Just read "I Love Deadlines ~ A Poem" and it's a very exhilarating and well-thought-out poem. The rhymes are music to my ears. And I agree, deadlines can be terrifying and revitalizing all at the same time. It's like an adrenaline rush pushing you to a higher capacity. A force that can either break you or make you. Thank you for sharing and inspiring!
What a witty and wonderful poem, John, you have written about deadlines. I think that we all need deadlines to spur us on and to achieve our goals. I also love the quote on procrastination. That was very funny!
Great poem John.
I love deadlines too.
There's just a certain energy that flows...it's usually when I write my best work.
Great to have you back, Brenda. I hope your eye is back to normal.
I agree that deadlines can inspire some of our best work. Maybe it gives an adrenalin rush.
John...
Thanks, but my eye is still healing...seems I'm allergic to the eye drops, but hopefully it will completely heal before long.
I'm not sure what it is about deadlines, but I've got a few coming up.
As always, I enjoyed reading John’s poem. Personally, I hate deadlines so I never put deadlines on myself since retirement. However, I have not produced much. I need to put some deadlines on my work life.
Thanks Chitrangada for showcasing John's poetic post about meeting deadlines. They can be inspiring to achieve results when challenged or mandated. I also enjoyed the quotes he used in his article.
