Best Green Eyed Monster Poems
I had some extra green paint
Oh what can I do to make her faint
So a dabbed a bit down below
When in the room she came for a blow
I yelled
Green-eyed monster is waiting to show
She fainted
Notes:
ok ok I saw so many poems with this topic, I said what the hell, why not!
Indubitably there is one emotion
By the time I feel its first nettle
I am at the point of explosion
It is already too late to settle
I become immediately apoplectic
Before the green-eyed monster
Is validated as authentic
Thus exaggerating it asunder
I find this is so flabbergasting
My face turns red and I glower
Jealousy for me is most suggesting
That my sanity has been devoured

Hent my heart from wandering concepts of affection.
Recant the murmurs of insecurity that riddled my temple.
Like a slow wound toy awaiting release from a child's grasp and attention.
Toss and birl, whipsawed into the oblivion of life's gamble.
Take away this wretched knife in my side.
A knife that twist with every incantation.
Those bastards! Jackanapes! Stirring in the tides.
Exordium! When I appear to disappear. Insouciance!
This tires me into a gaumless breathing, beating whole.
Furl all I can, these product of fallibility and madcap.
As I breathe deep into a bibelot diamond. The centre of my soul,
I feel the urge to plotz from reminders and blankets.
As I indite a subtle line of assurance. I contrived.
Culling into materials and conversations. I quelled.
Forgoing this disposition. Finally, Peace has arrived.
Retribution in it full essence. Salient though dishevelled.
Silly me, walk up to hubby
Lady with him walks away
Oh, that lurid creature lurks
In the depth of my soul
It tries to make me act like a fool
Best to smile, walk away, and not to drool
I’ll be cool, they’re the fool
This Green-Eyed Monster is no fool

Last year you were looking as good friends
yet today i feel that you're bringing up troubles
a baby with a green eye
was born in japan
grown up in your mind
feeding of your dark side
tell me why the hate
is taking up your smile
why don't you just offer him a flower
of a yellow color
you can't take away what he deserves
if you are jealous try to be the best
Green Eyed Monster - A Love Story
So, I headed home to me flat from a hard day’s night
Working in the coal mines for a quid or two
“Just outside Londondary”, me says, when some busy body inquires
I goes right home to find me bed
Right quick and fast since I’m exhausted
I finds me ugly gal Sal with some guy there
Doing some unkind deeds upon me pillow
That I can’t rightly explain right here and now
Being a gentlemanly kinda fellow that I am and seeing red
I says to Sal, “Watcha doing deary?!” “What’s that in me bed?”
She says, “Nuffin love.” “I just finished the wash and found this bloke in here
And I’m all flustered, and as surprised as you.”
As a rule me complexion is as white as these sheets once were
I becomes hysterical, flushed and weird and fumbles for me gun
“Where’s me bullets deary!” I query of the misses.
But she’s as quiet as a mouse.
Now I’m in a frenzy and frothing at the mouth
“Don’t let me get me belt out or a knife!” I yells out to the wife
“Let’s keep it nice and easy!”
I finds the bullets, fills the chambers, shoots in their direction
I missed them both
But halted the copulation or repopulation
Which ever comes first

I am a real life green-eyed monster
For I was born with green eyes
I try to keep the monster at bay
But sometimes she rears her ugly head
It’s something I’ll always have to live with
My first memory of the monster appearing…
Well I guess I was about five years old
Mum would give us our pocket money
You were older than me so you got more
ALL it meant was you could buy more sweets than me
I would watch you devour each one
You never thought of sharing them
But you’ve had weight issues all your life
Whereas I’m a petite size eight….
I wonder who is jealous now!

I seen a green eyed monster
I went to bed with a thought of good things.
My belly made a really bad noise I thought it was a possibility that monster.
With everyone to sleep I went downstairs without a sound.
To the cookie jar I went. Then out it came from the dark.
This big green eyed monster.
I just wanted to hide but no place to go. I was caught with the cookie jar.
I reach into the jar and took a cookie out.
I handed the cookie to the green eyed monster.
He took it with a grump then went out of sight.
The green eyed monster looked back at me
He said in a voice I heard before.
Go to bed my son or that green eyed monster might get you.
He was right to be suspicious
She was acting suspiciously
So he followed her that morning
To see what he might see
She didn’t go towards her office
She took the road to the ocean shore
And pulled up to a motel where
They had never been before
He watched her get a room key
Then go to a cabin with an ocean view
He was hurting so much inside himself
He didn’t know just what to do
He saw another man knock on the door
Looking tall and younger than him
He loaded the pistol from inside his car
As she let the stranger in
He shot her once aside the head
Him twice in the face
Then turned the pistol upon himself
Making a full mess of the place
The police found a cell phone in her hand
The stranger left a bible on the table
The husband’s cell phone was on the front seat of his car
Displaying 1 voice message on the label
“Hi Honey, I know it’s a month early but … Happy Anniversary. I got us a terrific little room at this quaint motel down in Seaside and found a nice young preacher who said he would perform a service to reaffirm our vows. When you get this message, come down and join me. See you soon … Love you.”
My husband and I, we are not the jealous sort.
But once in a while a green-eyed monster peeks in.
He comes lurking about to diminish our joy.
Not enough to destroy, but too often to toy.
Hubby is a skillful photo-shop-artist with vast finesse.
I on the other hand paint and make a big mess.
My Photoshop doodles seek childhood; I regress.
Thought strikes my imagination; I exuberantly express.
We encourage one another; and strive to excel.
Stroking our egos with gentle words, we share well.
Two souls snuggled in oaks; each repairing from pains.
Lacking outside attention and financial gains.
So, when someone drops by, we each want to brag.
One look at his work might as well be my gag.
Magnificent landscapes defy poetic words.
When the green-eyed monster leaps in, it’s absurd.
How does it happen; why does pride go awry?
Why does my heart start churning; my soul loose its wits?
My sweet perspectives on joys then, no longer fits.
It’s that Green-eyed Monster…that’s why!
First I’m ignored as he with words outwits.
Inside myself my soul becomes pricked.
I withdraw in silence as one might predict.
The green-eyed monster wins this blitz!
The problem is that when jealousy stokes.
Depression chokes any desire to try.
The, works unpicked make one want to cry –
I HATE that Green-eyed Monster!

I can’t see around the corners
or what in darkness prevails
but I hear the thuds and bumps at night
and the swoosh from the monster’s tail
I smell the stench of aggressions
that putrid, awful perfume
it permeates my weaknesses
my senses reel in this room
my eyes can’t see before me
this gloom is way too thick
if I could find some matches
I’d light the candle’s wick
green-eyed is its make-up
and while it lays in wait
no activity for weeks and weeks
as it hones its cheating game
trusting is the flag I wave
virtuous and white
blinding in the daytime
fluorescent in the night
love like this doesn’t grow on trees
not even on any vine
am I growing like moss on you?
or wasting precious time?
one last shot to get it right
once more I offer a chance
watching, waiting on I go
doing this sweet, sweet dance
I’ll slay the monsters, one by one
I’ll be the only one left
I’ll stand here just as long I can
drying the tears I’ve wept
There’s a green eyed monster over there
Sitting stubborn upon a chair
Watching every move I make
He’s waiting till I make a mistake
But jealousy will get him know where
I do what I want and do what I dare
He can look and he can stare
He won’t be stopped if he starts to flare
So he’ll have to learn to swallow his pride
The jealousy stuff he holds inside
Don’t let that green old monster out
He’s starts to roar and starts to shout
This is a battle he needs to learn
To control his temper and not be stern
If he refuses to play the ball
He could end up, just losing it all
Sometimes anger gets the best of him
His jealousy rages from within
I’ve told him before don’t lose your cool
Jealousy just makes you look a fool
I know he’s the hulk but I don’t care
He’s very tender and likes to share
I just feel sorry for the other men
Because when he’s angry he’s not their friend
He's a green mean fighting machine
Huge muscles bulging firm and lean
They call him the hulk, but he's just a teen
He's a massive bulk and can be mean
So I warn you now don’t come too close
If he turns green you could end up toast
He’s just watches me from a far
Making sure nothing bizarre

The green-eyed monster
The green-eyed monster has awakened
From a sleep that made him rest
As he has regained his vigour
He will put you to the test
You will have to act real courteous
While your heart with envy sears
And you must control your anger
Maybe even hide your tears
Your endurance will be torture
For it lacks good sentiment
There’s no will or motivation
To utter any compliment
Now your mood is so confusing
And it shows upon your face
Which appears real taut and rigid
And you feel so out of place
’Cause the monster has awakened
And he wants to be amused
He wants you to spew out venom
And he will not be excused
As you struggle not to please him
You blend friendliness with spite
And it all becomes real awkward
’Cause you want to do what’s right
So you smile and raise your eyebrows
In case your eyes stare blank and cold
’Cause you want no one to blame you
For a grudge that you might hold
This is how you fight the monster
Or at least that’s how you try
And it looks as if you’re winning
But you know it’s just a lie.

The green-eyed monster has just peeped
His eyes around that corner
The look he gave so dark and deep
As if he meant to warn her
That some things are best left unsaid
That some are best left put to bed.
To visit once or twice maybe?
No harm in that she could not see
But harm once done to jealous eyes
Will creep and creep and demonise.
As if it were a godly thing?
Crowned and glorious?
A new sweet foundling?
But no
The green-eyed monster has just peeped
His eyes around that corner.
Moments like this,
I don't like myself
if I could I would pretend
I don't know myself
Why do I allow this ugly flaw
to sometimes rule my life
allow it to steal precious moments,
moments I'll never get back..
I hate who I become
when the green-eyed monster
rear it's ugly head,
I cut myself
off from everything
and everyone
because who knows
how they'll react?
My silence
says it all
it's like wearing
a danger sign around my neck
"keep away, hazardous terrain"
Like a flash, it's gone
into nowhere until the next time…
My silent prayer?
Please, please stay away
because you're one companion
I can definitely live without…
