Best Caught Poems

I remember you, from when there was a spring
When the seasons were ripe, with verdant green
Our nimble feet danced in the wind
and on the brink of everything

Not a furrow in the brow of youth  
We borrowed life for just awhile
and tapped our shoes on...

I was caught by a train yesterday

I hear people say
this often in exasperation
exaggerated tones
with over-dramatic groans
as if the train somehow
physically captured them
in its large mechanical grasp
diabolically refusing
to let them go

Yesterday
I was caught in a different way
imagination captured, you might say
captivated
charmed
and enchanted
by the passing art display

Something...

II

And did his rash actions give this prince
Cause, in moments of troubling quietude,                 
To ruefully ponder on all which could not
Be rewound?       ...

Where dawn is born and clouds are spun
To clothe the sky in golden lace,
The sea ignites as currents chase
Soft morning light that's just begun  
To wake our love, caught in the sun....

Sneeze, sneeze, sneeze, sneeze
Oh I wish my sore throat would ease

Razor blades of pain are shredding my throat
And I’ve got so much snot I could launch a boat

My nose is as red as Rudolph’s and it’s oh so sore
I’m feeling achy and miserable this cold...

Crystal clarity caught in drops

water is pristine and

genteel,

as it gurgles, babbles and plops

flowing over the land

with zeal.

A Jackass Caught in a Hailstorm

By Elton Camp

Most who offend me, I can hold back
So, from them I don’t take much slack
It’s usually enough if I just coldly say,
“How do you dare talk to me this way.”

My position often carried some power
So that those around...

She's caught in the black rain, emotions are swimming in darkness, as the
 acid rain impairs her vision; within the depth her soul she's unable to find goodness.

The falling black rain has her mind in a state of confusion, murder is no longer
 an ill...

I bought her a bunch of blue violets and roses of red
Pure romantic thoughts were going around in my head.

Thought I'd surprise her and went round to her back door
There she was with my best friend, sprawled out on the floor.

She saw me and screamed...

It came with a flash upon my back
Caught off guard, suspenders hanging
Madly rushing to find a place so safe

From around the bend with a honk
“Hey watch your steps” was a shout
Horn blowing while in passing 
One disgruntled taxi driver glaring
Newspaper umbrella in ruins

Noisy rumbling above...

I drove by snowbanks with mountains in view
Pleasant thoughts traveled with me on my ride
Under deep blue skies, in a bright sun’s golden hue

When it caught my eye, flying from the side
A Bald Eagle soared out of trees I passed
Pleasant thoughts traveled with me on...

The person in question
  not yet man
  no longer boy
  strong, but quite shy
    poised on the precipice
    of destiny

A river had caught him unawares
  he with half a paddle
  head full of hope

Somewhere you are sitting
Unaware of how I feel
Then again maybe you know
How I wish that you'd reveal
Every now and then
I like to close my eyes
Pretend that you're with me
The dreams I fantasize
Honestly I wish you knew
The things inside my heart
Everytime I think of you
I wish...

Caught up in the moment of a deep dream,
Myself drifting further than it would seem,
Although unaware of one's own true self,
I leave behind all my worries of health.

As orchestras sound and play in the mind,
Taken away on this journey in time,
While violins and great horns...

It seems like you're losing your touch
Others might even see it,
and wouldn't think much

But I know better,
better than most
I saw your hand trembling
holding the knife,
when you were spreading jam on your toast

That's bad, real bad for you
And it sure ain't good for me
I'm the target...
