Best Dumbstruck Poems

Dumbstruck Is Me (a rhyming, acrostic kind of thing)


Discombobulated, how apt the word
Utterly gobsmacked by the absurd 
Mind numbingly mortified at the nonsensical 
By waking to find I’m without either testicle
Silenced as side by side they’re strung together
To hang on the wall there forever... and...

DUMBSTRUCK

Every time I am with you, I am dumbstruck,
overcome with excitement, being stuck
in feeling funky, groovy, crazy like I am seventeen.
Hard to behave like a lady, nearing seventy.

Sitting across you, gazing at your smiley eyes
while we talk, sip our drinks between our smiles,
makes me feel...

Something's changed, like I knew it would
The feeling's subsided, like a piece of drift wood

Chasing shadows in the dark
Calling out your name in the stillness of the night

You stole my spark
You robbed me of my sanity

Kept captive to the mark 
You branded upon my head

Something's...

Disguise I find myself ,
Deceit his vanity,
Diabolism doesn't work,
Devil can't cite scriptures ?
Distress is camouflaged,
Doing, only delight,
Dumbstruck why should I be ?

One day, I died for heaven’s sake
And let the angels my soul to take,
I had no transgression, no grim sin      
A ticket to heaven I was sure to win.

Looking forward to all honey and milk
Gold bed and sheets made of...

By things I see sometimes today
I’m dumbfounded and blown away.
I’ve seen folks driving far
all alone in a car.
Covid masks they still wear anyway.

I could see once a girl IN the pool.
Did a double take because that fool
kept the mask on her face
(though she swam with...

Dumstruck - Dk

I am dumbstruck by the advent of invention
Not  jut in science and technology but also in art and writing
For now I create and share poetry without even knowing 
Poetry my first love
Art and craft my next 
We are now in an era...

I’m dumbstruck by the good luck
Of a woodchuck on a spree
The harmony of living well
And laughing heartily 

But still, I often wonder
In a jungle canopy
If nature is the nurture
Of the forest or a tree

When lightning bolts and thunder
Break asunder by and by
They scare the ones...

DUMBSTRUCK-DK

I drove past this girl...on Sunset & Vine 
I couldn't see her face...so I beeped at her behind 
When she turned around...I nearly hit a caravan 
Because the girl that I had beeped at...was an ugly long-haired man
 
So I drove on...

A few days back I visited an old time friend
To travel down the memory lane on a week end
As we spent the quality time over high tea
The evening passed us by on a lively spree
While leaving I inquired about their daughter, Suhash
Her mother said she...

                All on a sudden loud thunderbolt struck
                Our ears! That sound causes phobia

I shall turn a blind eye
and hold my tongue
I'll sharpen my hearing,
breathe deep in my lungs.

My stare will be flat
like the eyes of a shark
and you'll feel a chill,
both icy and dark.

I'll gather each word
like beads on a string,
a necklace of nouns
and verbs in a...

The soft curves of your smile,
    echoing mile after mile.
Not reminiscent of a grandma,
    but rather, a banana.

Your glowing doughy eyes,
    look as squishy as thy thighs.
You create a fervent need,
    akin to...
