Best Commotion Poems
Ocean Commotionwind lifts salty air
scent of the sea fills my hair --
fishing without care
pelican dives fast
shrimp on the hook was my last --
strips the bait I cast
turn with quick motion
see crab stealing sun lotion --
ocean commotion

A Great CommotionThe ambience was changing
At the fading of the light.
I could feel a cool embrace,
The coming of the night.
In the sky, a great commotion
Countless starlings did I see
A swirling murmuration
In perfect symmetry.
Fluid moving patterns
Writ wide across the sky,
Oh, but the joy of it
To watch these...

Commotion At a Bus StopI ride the bus to work,
and sometimes I put on a very displeasing look:
I complain with sardonic humor,
" These city buses are never on time! "
The scruffy man beside me sweats and scratches his hair,
" It's so damn hot and lateness is a crime! "
And...

A Quiet CommotionYou would never know
Just looking at me
Sitting there ...
Alone in a crowd
What's going on
In her head ...
While they whisper
She's shy
She's sad
She's cold
None of that
It's simply this ...
A quiet commotion
From my heart
To my mind
And back again
Swirling, settling
On the words
Swirling, settling
In the ink
Down the pen
Out to meet
With...

CommotionEvening star risen,
Commotion in the night blue,
A murder crisis.

Emotions cause commotion
feelings deeper than the ocean
i’m choking and hoping and praying
and I’m just saying
that I hope I can survive
cause I really love life
but I’ve got a knife
stuck in my back, attack, attack
I put it there myself & I can’t rip it out
my throat is...

CommotionMy thoughts are confused
My mind tormented
I feel like I’ve been used
By this thing who pretended
I have been put in a maze
To discover and escape
All the time of my days
I’ve been stuck to it like tape
But as I reach the end
I realized I was betrayed
But...

A boy and girl were making a fuss
Driver was alerted
Attention diverted
Hit a pole causing one last thrust...

CommotionCommotion,
Of Emotions,
Of thoughts so endless,
Created a loud buzz in my mind,
But for people around,
Yet was soundless...
Each one honking,
For a green signal,
Each one looking forward to move ahead,
For an answer, for better,
The moment it got clearance,
In just a few meters it got stuck again.
The other thoughts...

In Motion Or CommotionIn Motion Or Commotion
Thoughts and feelings poems put into motion.
Do settle things down or can create commotion
Wake you up so you can start becoming aware
There are things in life that will need your care
And be sure to include your love and devotion.

After the CommotionAfter the commotion and the grave,
All that's left is the quiet.
And to listen but only hear
The strangeness of the night.
When all is gathered up
It seems almost the same.
As love is swept away
And the heart not used again....

The Promoted Versus the DemotedUnderrated Basil got a promotion
And it caused a commotion
Among luckless names for demotion
All of them restive and voicing the notion
Of An Elevation fathered by emotion…
They shall for the two wrongs raise a motion
Before the cause of their commotion:
A man you could enrapture with perfumed lotion,
That...
