Best Accident Poems

The fish needs the anemone; the anemone, the fish 
The pollen needs to be the bumble bee’s most precious wish
There’s fishes that frequent the mouths of huge man eating sharks
There’s places where I walk my dog, where he, at nothing, barks

The dragonfly leaps into flight,...

Oops, It was an Accident

I accidentally let one loose
on a blind date with a guy named Bruce.
We went to the movies on that fateful day
happily carrying our snacks on a tray.
We settled down in our comfy seat
all ready to enjoy this special treat.
Things were proceeding...

If hopes are meant to fade,
cling to them tightly.
Life is a bird with broken wings—
It cannot rise.
Cherish your aspirations,
for they vanish when...

 A TRIBUTE TO JAMES FRASER: "IT'S NOT AN ACCIDENT"

Accidentally clicked but perhaps, its the angels 
bewitched who bring me to your poem pages. Scanning
closer, like a curious child, I leisurely collide,
dancing even from high to low notes
engraved  effortless  to  your humming...

The accident came by intent
on the wings of friend’s content
put to canvas with pigments towards
three months pursuit of crafting works

the same became my lofty goal
with words replacing painted forms
even though experience
was lacking in the poet’s pen

with each day another poem
was writ to page as purpose...

mountains bob like corks
adrift on liquid magma -
pond scum shelters life

Earth’s magnetic shield -
magma’s gift of moving charge
thwarts sun’s deadly winds

continental drift -
neighborhoods fenced by oceans
breed diversity

random mutations
offer death or advantage -
unearned consequence

life’s adaptation
to universe in motion -
the true face of God

Pulled on the parka, and turned my face to the cold street.
Half running, half slipping, piece of toast hangin' from my mouth..
man oh man am I late...

Two and half blocks south down Jerome to the station..
gotta make the Kingsbridge nine o five. 
Thank the lord...

In seventy-eight, my steel-stallion, KZ1000, 
   pride, wind in my hair.
Its Sissy Bar, firm tether, bag secured, 
   my wanderlust's prayer.

Where sun, snow, wind sculpt my journey's theme 
   my odyssey untamed, my spirit free.
No car to claim, just...

Fell in love with a coconut
The tree stood tall outside my hut
Love sublime at first sight
I thought I‘d have a bite
Lost both front teeth right on the spot

A picture hung upon the parlour wall
Of a brother I'd never met at all
Tony was the eldest child in the nest
Loved, cherished, by parents truly blessed.

Sadly Tony had lived for just four years
His passing left enormous grief and tears
Though I'm one of five sisters, ever...

My image was dull drab and dreary 
(It hadn’t be changed for a while)
I thought that my hair had potential
... It was time I updated my style
But the last time that I’d had a haircut 
I hadn’t been pleased with my “do”
I’d lost half my...

Traveling birds
Shifting seasons
Are reflected on your front glass

This is a usual scene every morning
That day, too
Before bringing our children to school

That day, though
You didn't come home
Injured severely on the road

A few days later
You were back

Your white butterfly like eyes
Looked sad
Appealing that you wanted to work...

Deep within my soul
Your words of love burn so bright
That you might be that very special girl
I hold so tight
Like two vessels that intertwine into the night
You have a way of making everything feels just right
Like a soaring eagle dives for its prey
It's with my...
