Abrupt Poems | Examples

Abrupt Silence

Here one day gone the next
I did not know you very well 
You were always nice to me 
Commonalities in passing

Sudden sadness in the clouds
The old heads respected you
Sadness in everyone’s heart
Grief in everyone’s eyes 
Stillness in your energy gone

The type of sudden sadness 
Which leaves you in shock 
The type of sudden sadness
Which brings abrupt silence
The type of sudden sadness 
Which hollows you out inside
The type of sudden sadness
When kindness of 37 years young dies

Abrupt

Irkish the feeling impels
Impulsive of it's own action.
Disfigurely quenching,
And on it's feet it commands
A riot so clenching
Flinching the heart's
Utmost fibres none can comprehend.
"Xeno" it calls aloud
For it looks in it's shadows.
Perkish, yet Meek, and sleek 
As it sneeks around alert for
It's next prey to be caged.

abrupt adjournment

I stay stationary, collapsed, in a room unlike mine
I stay bare, as I wait for my thoughts to align
the bloodied hand continues it's repetitive round
soon the dust in this chamber will have me drowned

my scaffolding will be unveiled before I accept
this isn't a hallucination because I overslept
I cry, I kick, I bite, I scream
I weep, I hit, my eye's they stream

my feet move my carcass for the very first time
so back to my predecessor's cradle, I can climb
the circle of life I complete at one and seven
and I hope to have again before I witness heaven

my consciousness a station that's only channel is you
I theorised us as true, not our love debut
the favourable and dreadful constantly contending
no speculation was given to our feasible mending 

I crave to be livid and despise your existence
instead I sympathise and empathise and acknowledge our distance
your presence and aroma was a familiar setting
with your forthcoming absence it's you I'll be forgetting

formerly I was craving your presence and touch
now praying to avoid your glance and clutch
dreading to glimpse dreamy eyes turned devil
as our look will never again be that special

Bangladesh's abrupt regime change

The students couldn't wait
until the fat lady sung,
so some heaved rocks
while others slung dung..
Bonded by the beat from
an umbilical drum,
protesting in the streets
as one, Hashina's authoritarian regime
was overcome.

Abrupt Justice

Find xanthium' squeeze in a sigh  
asking a righteous void, hear my entreat
hand to heart, in a beggar's sky
not just for myself,
not just for why...
  
Can a heart devoid of hope
seek to find salvation
   from a Quentin Tarantino film
 in a strange pulp voice
that sounded just like mine.

Your sin, my sins
vowed never relent.. 
nor let cementing cold take you  
so don't despair..

Place two fingers, just beside your neck
feel it pulse?
it's you,
and you still care.  

Search the world's underbelly
the meek and mild 
little mouse infirm, the whooping crane strong, all us  
no longer beguiled.

Roaming streets and back alleys
afraid to meet my neighbor's eye
I, the guilty   
waiting a just reply.

It's a quarter past two,
last train leaves at three..
the sign at the platform's final end
stands glaring,
waiting a reprieve.  

A proud primping Whooping crane calls out
'it's justice'..
All a lowly titmouse discerns,
'it's just us'.

An Abrupt Change of Plans

This time last year, I couldn't wait 
to see the brand new year. I had 
well thought out plans. I was going
to start afresh and start anew.

I was going back to school and do 
something that I always wanted 
to do. My goal was to go back to 
school and get into the healthcare 
field. I was a nurse's aide several
years ago.

As soon as got my taxes I was going
to enroll in school. But the dreadful 
pandemic hit and put my dreams on
hold. It felt like my life was passing 
me by. 

In 2020, I have experienced fear,
hurt and complacency. However,
I have felt sadness the most. 
Sadness for the folks that lost 
their lives to an invisible enemy
 A.K.A. Covid 19.

I feel stuck in between the land 
of broken and unfulfilled dreams. 
But in the midst of all the noise 
and chaos in my soul.

I have hope that all will get back to
normal one day. I came to realize
that without hope it would be real
hard to face each new day.

An Abrupt Departure

When I first laid eyes on you time stood still,
you made me feel like love was possible.
Our instant connection was such a thrill,
I thought finding you was impossible 

Prior to finding you, I kissed some frogs,
hoping that my prince would quickly appear.
You didn’t show, my besties were my two dogs,
when we first met love, I felt hope and fear.

But our union was to good to be true;
because fate had not been our side sweetheart. 
You were a young pilot and skies were blue,
the weather changed and we had to depart.


We’ll meet again in the heavenly skies,
that’s why I don’t believe in sad goodbyes.

An Abrupt Unexpected Good Bye

I cannot tell you I am not hurt
Because I am crucified.
Did you ever love me or was it all a lie?
I need a few seconds to get some control.
Was it the red-headed woman?
Or the blonde little troll?

Do not tell me you have moved on without anyone else
I am naïve, not crazy, not stupid. 
Although now I feel a little of both.
You have completely devastated me.
I feel skinned alive, my eyes hurt from crying.
If I said I was okay I would certainly be lying.

Some day when you have a little girl of your own
I hope you remember this day and how much you hurt me
You had nurtured the little girl inside me
But she died a few minutes ago
When you told me that you never loved me
When you look at your baby, you will remember this moment
And you will feel remorse
Knowing you killed another little girl
Now go because I do not want to hug you good-bye.

Had Been Apparently Abrupt

Had Been Apparently Abrupt

Comments made were apparently abrupt,
And eventually things would soon erupt;
Break into,
Like they do;
When done by Trump had become corrupt.

Jim Horn

So what should I be telling the new priest
about his parish?

An Abrupt Departure

I find myself at a cross road.
Which way should I go?
To my left is uncertainty. 
To my right is a dead end.
So I'm stuck  and I can't move.
I have no choice but to exit UP
My private jet is on the way
Goodbye my friends.

Abrupt

A stern face
A harsh place 


A strange kind
A rough mind


A mad twist
A black list


A shrewd step
A lost map


A plus point
A sad joint


A late fad
A life mad


A last fling
A lost spring


A long way
A blown prey


A dead chance
A break dance

Abrupt

Excuse me if I appear to be abrupt

but I find your sensibilities and ethics corrupt,

a leader of people should be a visionary

scrupulously clean and who speaks with brevity,

not a person who seeks solely to divide

to make it easier to control all of the sides,

the manipulate and create forms of xenophobic hate

I see your actions as no more than a disgrace,

discriminating based around sexuality of race

in this world there should be no place,

for this kind of leadership to transcend into a modern age.

Trump Approach Abrupt

Trump Approach Abrupt

Trump's approach is always rather abrupt;
Causes trouble and things likes to disrupt;
Hard to predict;
Makes you sick,
And came to collusion that he is corrupt.

Abrupt

Words that I cite
Move each bold write


In a sure flash
Forge a swift dash


Thought in sure plot
Hurls a clear lot


Abrupt this rhyme
Upon a time


Swirl of pure tact
Frames new word pact


Here with fond fit
Words cluster wit


Crisp frame of mind
New verge now finds


In a brisk flood
Pulse of warm blood


Words tell a lot
Beyond mere thought

Abrupt

In this maze
We walk in daze
Mad with sad craze


On this earth
Quest knows sure birth
Odd as fine mirth


In start breeze
Sticky moves squeeze
A humid sneeze


Here we stand
Around the bend
Do what we can


Wonder stares
Abrupt old cares
Going nowhere


Now here sit
Watch easy wit
Compact new fit


Gone too soon
Ere light floods noon
A final boon


Yes too late
Abrupt this fate
At the last gate


If only
You could see me
With dream set free
