Asthma Poems - Poems about Asthma

Having been so long untouched, I’d become a child beyond touch and unclean. So, when suffocatingly roused from a nightmare of death to unbreathable silence in an oxygen tent, I cried afraid of dying alone. From somewhere (outside of all darkness) you appeared (starched-pinafored and perfumed a student nurse working nights after classes) bringer of light restorer of air redeemer. At your...

A student battling with Asthma And vaporous Miasma Wouldn't he pack up Charisma? Soon, confront the sure dilemma Of suspending his Diploma Or sniffing Hard Work's aroma... Espy I do Anathema, Its picture clearest cinema: A man from a great deal barred And a future that might be marred... Worse than malfunctional plasma Bad Asthma plus Bad Miasma!...

It hits targets like A Blizzard, Victim, breathing-wise A Lizard; Amynophilline in one’s vein Expected Rescue sometimes vain… For widening The Air Chambers And dousing of The Red Embers Marax Tabs that quicken The Heart Beat But effects not often The Sweet… Helped by Cough you are just finished! You hang on to life, The Punished! Heaven or Hell you just wait for me: Have I...

Listen to her death certificate’ Who’d fought for life’s duplicate “Severe Anorexia Secondary to status asthmaticus”. Oh! How it had rung worse than Amnesia And had meant some asthmatic curse. Several struggle -out “God, Receive my soul’’ As death bell was about to toll I, to the hilt, a struck-dumb spectator For the longest seconds, tongue-tied commentator Soon, rapidly pondering not why...

My child has a love of poetry It is rare, for she is only nine. In her bare mind, words are potpourri floating, rhyming by stanza, by line. Holding a book ever so tightly (it relieves the raw ache in her chest), my sweet Emma floats almost nightly carried by puffins in a bird nest. She paints her pictures lying in bed dreaming up...

Asthma A dumbfounding struggle for what is plenty in the air, The shortest of unsure breaths drawing, The hesitant oxygen inwardly cursing; A judging of the whole affair unfair. My trachea thinking of its resignation letter, Worsening the picture of Seeker of the Better; My two lungs scheming to lock up their shop, Evidently not touched that a life might drop! A straight cash...

Count 1, 2 or 3 failed breaths Insatiable hunger in my chest Breathe, struggle, gasp and yawn My body drowns in the air I always pull through, a fleeting ecstasy of relief Feeling exhausted, I wish I could quit The next battle begins -Note- Hopefully some of the awesome people I met on PoetrySoup 3 years ago are still here. It's admittedly been...

My head is a giant ball of hurt. I doubt I would feel a Mack truck If it ran over my head today For I am already that sore. I had heard of a head cold But this is ridiculous. I am so over being sick So totally over it Yet here I am in the throes of death Wishing I had my...

My asthma wheezing has kept me home today. Saving my life no doubt, in a most wonderful way. Winter advisory is on her way to dance and play. No one who wants to live should be out today. One of my inhalers is at school, but not a worry. The birds and the squirrels are all a flurry. There are things...

I am looking forward to you February You usually give me an asthma episode, Squeezing my throat with your cold air, Sending me to the hospital. Not this year, not 2019. This year I will finish the valentines day party, Confident and pleased that you did not kill me That you did not get me down, or upset me. I am looking...

Done it once, and done it twice. Done it simple, and done it nice. Done it a thousand times today. She is called breathing, and she don’t play. Done it once and done it twice. If you’re an asthmatic, you roll the dice. If you’re an asthmatic, you had better understand her way. If you’re an asthmatic, an inhaler...

Someone smells like smoke. I can barely stand to sit here. Clenching my teeth, I have a headache, everywhere near. A friendly smoker has sat next to me, oh, dear. I jump up, because her smell is killing me, so clear. I am an asthmatic, and I cannot breathe next to a smoker, I think. In the nicest...

ELEPHANT An elephant is sitting on my chest, It's comfortable there, I want it anywhere But have his butt exactly there to rest. He crushes every silly hope to breathe. He loves to hear me wheeze, I cannot even sneeze. He's chosen me to be his favourite seat. If you, sweet friends, do know a cozy zoo? For lazy elephants, So I can raise my hands And...
