Best Car Crash Poems

A dark room with a small wooden desk, no lamp
A thick pad of paper and a typewriter, never used
Like a museum exhibit, though they aren’t allowed to gather dust
And dead flies and moths, a pack of playing cards
I never learnt to play, but still they’ve...

Smell the burning rubber.
Hear the screeching tyre. 
Watch in awe as the wheels fly off 
and the chassis catches fire.
Then avert your eyes.
Say your au revoir.
The casualties are packed in tight
Limp inside the car....

Car Crash,
Whiplash.
Right before your eyes.

Driver,
Driver,
Why’d you drink and drive?

I’m taking you to court,
For you caused a man to die.

Car Crash,
Whiplash,
Right before your eyes.

Driver,
Driver,
Why’d you drink and drive?

Baby in the back seat,
You caused a child to die,

Car Crash,
Whiplash,
Right before your eyes.

Driver,
Driver,
Why’d you drink in drive?

You killed...

Two bodies hanging from annihilated cars
Collided hearts
Crashed at the lips
Creating daydreams with the impact of their fingertips
Worlds bleeding onto the jagged spears of shattered windshields
Love forming on the merged, crumpled hoods; Love the bodies can't feel
A marriage in death
Exchanging vows in silent breath
You may kiss...

One red dirt road surely to lead us home.
Until we hit that patch of gravel.
It sent our vehicle spinning three hundred and sixy degrees around.
My God!
We hit the bar ditch and went flying. 
My hands pressed against the dashboard.
My heart beat pounding faster.
Everything in bittersweet...

Car Crash

Her last kiss was
a thorny stick pulled  
through my heart

Her last draw 
of cool fingers 
on warm palms
a car crash...

hospitals. tractors. cars. agitation.
family and friends.
Enemies at the cross roads put aside for a loved one.
waiting, seems like forever.
wishing, hoping, for the better.
jail, intoxication, blood.
a car crash, a drunken fool.
not his fault, not all of it.
Stuck in the hospital, waiting for quiet release....

i caught a confused look that came across your face
when i said that i was doing okay

It's like you didn't understand how i could smile again
after everything that happened

The flashing lights, the shattered glass
I Said "if i'm headed for heaven it's not very fast"

And you...

Thoughts speed racing 
through my head.
Engine exhaust caught 
in my throat.
Hands gripping the 
steering wheel firmly.
Screeching of the tires
in my ears.
Random papers from
the glove compartment
scattered about the floor. 
My world is skidding. 
I'm almost out of gas.
Windshield wipers scraping 
without rubber. 
Transmission
slipping.
Telephone poles
like a toothpick...

You are nothing, but a car crash, just waiting to happen
I can almost hear the vultures on the side walk clapping

Scavenging in the wreckage,hoping to feed their bellies 
All eating their cake that is smothered with red cherries

As the street beggars on the sidewalk with...

When you drink and drive,
Your Accountability
Is gone. Here and now....

(PROMP:[3:29am] angel!jeongin lies next to you and hugs you as you cry, telling you to stop missing him “it’s okay, I’m here” PROMPT CREDIT TO -imagineskz.tumblr.com POEM BY- Tegan Elliott)


It was tears,
Broken dreams,
Broken hearts,
And a broken body,
Towed away,
He was young,
Seventeen,
He was young,
Soon to be eighteen,
He...

A slow and painful crash
Where one sees one's face
Approach the dashboard in infinite detail
Where one has time 
To check one's fear in the mirror
But instead takes a suck on a vape
And puts one's foot down
And, speeding through abandoned suburbs,
Is caught in a storm of fire.
Carry...

You enter the shop,your eyes searching me
In the shelf,I try to hide
wishing that you won't see me
but your eyes light up with delight.
You spot me on the shelf.
"I'll buy this one", you say
satisfied ,you smile to yourself
but I know I'll spoil your day.

You take me...

Four hours and counting,
Frustration is really begun mounting.

The sun is beating down,
Causing sweat to drip onto my perpetual frown.

People are getting out and talking,
I expect some are thinking they would be better off walking.

Surely somebody can make a decision.
And clear a path through the site...
