Best Crashed Poems

~ This poem is written in the 8686 syllable count style of one of my favorite Emily Dickenson poems, 'I Felt a Funeral in My Brain.'

  waves crashed within my veins
fueled by heady winds, they pursued

Teardrops slipping, sliding, falling unceremoniously 
Bruised and battered, this broken hearted agony. 
Memories arise of the times gone before 
When being in love with you held promises of something more. 

Silently my world comes crashing again 
Leaving a twisting, turning, searing pain. 
Little did I...

For My Holly


Silence crashed gray ‘round me in jarring strikes.
		news glued me undone ~ chilled shade blued my sun
Mere seconds flogged me numb with scarring spikes.
                your mind failed its...

When 
Soup crashed,
I went mad.
My fingers would
inevitably
click on  PoetrySoup
whenever I went online,
yet I'd be led to a blank page.
With no challenges, my muse was lost,
and I ached from missing all my good friends.

On the brighter side, dishes piling up 
in my sink is a...

Logic isn’t that important
I’m right! -As a proved defendant-
From jails occupant to humanity servant 

After days I had absorbed black steam of others’ fleshes
I got crashed by an angel, then refreshed
Certainly been in a wrong track
But God allowed me to weave my life back

All could...

I smoked a rock and lost my way'
I didn't mind at all.
All I wanted every day
was more to stop the fall.

I smoked my father's hopes and dreams
I smoked my self-respect,
I put a flame to silent screams
and loved ones I'd neglect.

I smoked when I saw what...

I've cried myself to sleep more times than I've laughed
I've faced the monsters alone with tears in my eyes
I came out scarred and wounded but I survived
I had no one there with me when I crashed

Travelling alone, trying to find my way
I lost the girl...

Crashed crush
Missed bash

I still taste the bitter fog clenched in my jaw.
my eyes playing ping pong in my face.
searching for the tenderness I adored, concealed by deception
Didn't think it would be you.
to bruise my body, my ego, my love
wickedness I never thought you'd do
maybe once the tears...

The bombing raid siren
Threw sounds loud and clear,
Accross rubble that once was our town
The children all fled,
And the town became dead.
As a bomber, 'their' bomber, came down.

The sky's grey appearance 
Was filled with black smoke.
Then a Scarlet, an Orange, a Red.
The blood curdling crash, 
and...

They crashed the server
But they didn’t lose the poetry
They crashed the server
But they didn’t lose the poetry

Parts of three days the Soup’s been down
With most of us wearing a frown
Trouble started intermittently
Causing some to worry ‘bout their poetry
Leaving many fretting ‘bout their poetry
And I say:

Whirling this sabre is tiring,
Cutting shapes out of the air,
Slicing images out of the sky.

So, now to fix faulty wiring,
Focus the current repair,
Shoot up with needles and fly.

Climbing the stairwell is draining,
Think I’ll rest on the block,
Cooking my suppertime spoon.

Sinews and veins are straining,
What a...

If all the internets 
In all the world
Went down
And never came back up
How many suicides 
Would this make?


If all the families
In the world 
knew 
The internet
Was never coming back up
How many family murders
Would happen?

If all the cell phone towers
in the world
broke
Would there be any
reason to...
