Accidents Poems

The Freeway

Why did they name it a freeway to begin with
Honestly it doubles your chances of getting hit
Drunk drivers and those with road rage throwing fits
Constantly driving defensively to avoid a near miss
Are the ramp meter lights really controlling the traffic
It causes more confusion when an idiot drives past it
It's on this road that the impatient

There are no accidents in spirituality

Napping thru days with Vicodin nights,
slow healing is my plight..
Heating pad between the thighs, 
too much pain other wise..
How much longer until I mend?
Will I ever walk again?
At times this pain is excruciating.
Now it's time for me to stop complaining.
Some say miseries are a divine blessing.
What's the lesson here God's stressing?
Why do accidents occur, slow

In a Split Second

In a split second, life can be snuffed
Unforeseen events cause misery
Why this is so, ‘tis a great mystery
Of such our lives are suitably stuffed
None of us should ever be bluffed
Accidents are main features of history.
In a split second,
The role of accidents is often sloughed
We are victims of information trickery,
Believing what we hear becomes primary
Facetiously, going

The Wrongman and the Winner

Road accidents
Happen by chance
A varying factor
Road accidents happen
Even one is on the right
And so tolerance is to win
And the wrongman 
Sometimes can be the  winner

For Want of a Nail You Don'T Stand a Dog's Chance

Look what you have done to my shoelaces, Fluffy!
Now that's hardly a  nice thing to do.
There are things in this world, from a twig to a bone,
that are more admirably suited to chew.

I don't wish to be hypercritical, Fluffy.
You might easily have done something worse,
but there are things in this world, which,  not

Accidents

Oh no, don’t call us accidents,
for news of our randy parents
birthing child after child...
oh boy they were wild!
Prefer to call us “incidents”

Never Make a Left-Hand Turn On Moss While Driving a Buick In Odessa, Texas

When I was Seven, 
Six of us piled in to a shiny
New Buick. 
“A quick errand across town” 
It was hot
I fell asleep. 
I was awoken 
By the screams.
A dump truck had eaten 
us up and spit out our core

A heavy blow 
Against my head
Made everything go dark.
I wake up to silence.
The screaming had
stopped but

Accidents Will Happen

Talking to his quite young daughter
Was sometimes like talking to a wall
To him the message seemed to be plain
But to her, just not the case at all!

So once again he sat her down
He said, "That look there, just won't do"
He said, "Accidents will happen,"
"Sometimes it will be number two!"

Those britches were no worse for wear
There's

Freeway Accidents Are Annoying

so annoying
when a wreck happens
on the interstate

I always watch the semis
When they vie for the fast lane
I do too

Using their highway prowess
Except this time two were wrong
They led me into a lane that did not move

Six cars were off,
All apparently hitting each other.
A Chevy comes roaring up from behind

The driver must be good.
The front end

Accidents Happen

Accidents can be life-changing events
One moment all's normal, then life gets bent
But we carry on
No longer a swan
Still the same inside, still have music to send

We Are Accidents

Today, I was missed by a bullet
fired by a sniper in Syria,  
a runaway train 10,000 miles from it, 
and every swing of the 
Grim Reaper’s scythe in between. 
A repeat of so many days 
of good coincidences.

Life is but an accident of time and geography,
we the beneficiaries of a random amnesty.

Tomorrow, I shall

- Work Accidents -

Drying its wings and held arrows chasing

As a racer, always on the move

Thinking of effect and cause ... everything has its price

Never shoot arrows in headwind

To beat the blue grass ~ the golden arrows

Work accidents with consequences

Accidents Happen

It's winter in Michigan,
and accidents happen this time of year
Cars often lose control,
traveling on those treacherous icy roads
It's dangerous in this northern hinterland,
things tend to happen that causes consternation and fear
Poor ventilation and a faulty gas valve stem
will bleed too much deadly carbon monoxide into your system
Accidents happen,
accidents happen all the time
Accidents seem to happen

Accidents In Time and Space a Pollock Ekphrasis

ACCIDENTS IN TIME and SPACE a Pollock Ekphrasis
A counterpoint to tease floating
paint in swirls and mounds full
of radiant energy and surprise,
an adventure for our eyes,the
texture comes alive.
Opulence ,intricate yet plain
apparent yet unreal accidents
in time and space,colour
flowing without restraint

You may hear me recite this poem and most of my PS anthology on YouTube under my pen

There Are No Accidents, Hagar

It always seems as though, the first line holds this key....
Creating a moment it's poetic course yet, rarely, be she thus
Adrift about his isles desert dunes like Ishmael, an outcast; tides
These ebbs in flows to scrutinize their Archer's bow ? Zodiac's montage.
