Best Basement Poems

A Dirty Basement Room

In a dirty basement room a baby cries
Weakened mother was defiled
Forced my law to birth a child
Upon a dirty pillow she lies
In a dirty room the mother dies
Mother and son soon reconciled
Victims of government gone wild
A time to live a time to...

Deep in the basement of the east wing
Lady Penelope keeps a Thing
    With big teeth and claws
    And horrible jaws
And feeds it her husband’s old flings.

While sister Edith keeps under covers
A creature that crawls and gibbers and mutters,

OH - nonny, NO - nonny
Nicholas Goalsworthy
Promised again to
Renounce alcohol.
Characteristically
Incomprehensible,
Muttering epithets,
Cursing the wall....

Trolls are in our basement. My hubby invited them there.
Every night they wrestle…only for a little fun, they declare.
But I won’t let them have coffee or stay up late at night.
Believe me grumpy trolls stomping around your house can be a fright!

My Hubby goes to...

Mommy told me never to go in the basement, but I wanted to see what was making that noise. It kind of sounded like a puppy, and I wanted to see the puppy, so I opened the basement door and tiptoed down a bit. I...

A stagnant
Fragment
Beside a magnet

Found placed in an outdated
Basement
Sitting adjacent
To something ancient
And makeshift

An area with stuffy air
Was here then there
Going up the stairs
Some of which needed repairs
Went past several chairs
And a kitchen table with a bowl full of pears
Then was put into a box with wares
Left...

Stillborn static cry
Smothered screeching granite knife
Crimson chalk demise...

I fear to be Here 
You make me feel spooky 
Your greyed hue laid me in cist and
Chaos of headlights gore the peace
they reminisced, 
How he dumped me like a trash
I repel to feel bygones allures,
What tasted like Himalayas.
When you painted me in blood and...

Leave your woes behind
In the heart of New Brunswick
Red cup beer games
Walls flashing, people sweating

Bring out the hipsters
Sundried blue jeans with attitude
Dancing around
Like fairies in the wind
Cigarette one cheek
Talking smack bout the system!...

Locks his stash secretly
Basement waterloggs
His animals go fuzz fuzz
Singing Glory to the keeper...

The knock knock should have told me
there are demons at the door
but I never would have listened
I was taking that trip
I bought a one way tickets
and wasn't looking back

What too good  
now falls with my spirit 
as high as i soared

& so in the...

“There,” said he,
“Observe the rat —
It makes its nest within the shell
of this, the ancient Citadel.
“Note that many greater souls
who once did walk these gath’ring grounds
have died, and are again born, and
that very rat now hears their sounds!”
I asked “What sounds?”
He cackled, “These:
On the rat,...

I have a hollow basement,
It's unfurnished and devoid.
Love and enchantment, it should have plenty.
Tenderness it seems to lack.

Many hands have offered help,
To my basement that is empty.
Vacant and abandoned,
My basement will always be.

Even though it hungers,
For care and protection,
I cannot seem but wonder.
I just can't...
