Best Crump Poems
The Flowers of the FieldFading flowers lie scattered on the ground
Scythed down by deadly horizontal hail
The long, short, and tall fall without a sound
Relentless dawn’s bright light begins to fail
As noxious clouds of gas the sun shroud round
The fallen wait for help to no avail
Their raw, tormented lungs...

Me, and Everybody ElseYou said you loved me
I let down my robe
I gave you a sight of what I had
never let
any other man behold,
Then you said you needed me,And
just
like Isaac lay still on the altar
Without a fight or argument with
his
father
Because of the unquestionable trust
that
he...

Early MorningI stepped out early on a winters morning,
Still half asleep and quietly yawning.
The street lights cast a yellow glow,
That fell upon the virgin snow.
Lights coming on in houses,
As I walked the silent streets.
I took pleasure in the crump,
Of untrodden snow beneath my feet.
The cold...

Wright's Tavern, MorningThe British were coming.
As dawn's cold fingers
clawed the eastern sky,
men scurried to their stations,
all too aware of the rhythmic crump
of that ugly distant drumming.
The Threat was inching closer,
a scarlet thing with many spikes
shimmering in the first sun....

Zones of ZealotryIn a state controlled by a fanatical militia
Fuelled by a desire for revenge,
They sit cowering in a crumpled cellar,huddled close,
Wide-eyed kids whimpering
Held tight by sad-eyed women and grim-faced
Men,muttering their imprecations
While listening to the crump,
Crump of the incessant shells raining down on their village,
Their hearts racked...

All Is NothingCreations I built around your axis,
Skilled with ideational praxis,
Given up like snake-eyed dice,
Sincerely proffered sacrifice.
Tendered freely, fuelled the fire,
Gasoline infused desire,
Whoosh and crump of my damnation
Redeemed by paper masque salvation.
My living blood I would surrender,
Blind crusader,...

An Unheard PleaLet the rivers flow as they want to be
Let the flowers shine in their brightest glow
Let the crippled, caged bird be set free
To its heart’s content, wherever it wants to go.
A daily thought, a silent prayer,
A constant wish that will bring them near;
To...

Third LightJuly moon, third quarter, patrols the night.
Pierces smoky haze, phosphor and cordite.
No crump of shell or rattle of gunfire
just stillness, man made brambles,
wooden posts and wire.
Not so much a breeze, more a draught
carries distant murmurs.
Someone laughed.
A sudden spark, and glow-
sentry had lit a match.
Breathe slowly....

Ankle DeepThis morning chilled me to the bone,
For frost had crazed my window panes
'Twas hard to leave my cosy home,
For given choice I would remain.
But no, there's pennies to be earned
For what in life is ever free,
So into winter's arms I turned,
To face grey skies and...

Eyes Wide ShutI wanna go to Martha’s Vineyard, eat muscadines and drink wine.
I want my belly to swell with the fruit of our love.
I wanna drive on full and eat fillet mignon for breakfast.
I wanna live like God is my Father and Jesus, my Brother who saved...

The Poor Boy's TaleThe grey-haired by on our streets
With rags hanging his shoulder as his only cloak
Every night on banana leaves he sleeps;
He has no crump nor cakes let alone a glimpse of hope
All day his leg sweeps back and forth the town
He is like a rat beside...

Cryptic CallsCRYPTIC CALLS:
i
The night called out to him
A man of plane fleet
Gloved in illusion of machete and strength
To beat out from the web of sleep
And answer the howling cryptic calls:
Cryptic calls of hooting owls and chirping crickets
Cryptic calls with lurid eyes of a marauder
A marauder in...
