Best Halt Poems


Premium Member 'temporary Halt'
Today might be "that day" 
When playing the victim 
Might have to end 

You need to face the challenge 
Head on 
Hiding behind the frontage of 'I can't' 
Uttering the words 'I am not ready'
Won’t always work

Somehow you need to try again 
Somehow you need...

Premium Member How to Tame a Tornado: How to Halt a Hurricane
The possibilities are endless
With every new scientific discovery.
There is inspiration to invent devices
That improve quality of life
And save lives in the process.

Spin with the wave and slow it down
With drones and electromagnetism.
Entropy and vacuums.
Spin with the wave, then slow it down
With science and ingenuity.

Catch the...

Premium Member At Beeching Halt
a stroll beneath this old stone bridge
is a stroll through time and mist
where remnants from another age
and graffiti coexist.

where nitreous oxide cannisters
and weeds and grass combine
to choke the past from the valley floor
of its long lost railway line....

Halt Bullies
Sick track, busting tha' bullies.
Gym parasite, I have multiple skills.
Dependable on self. Powerful mind and body.
Jealous ones' envy.
Monetary skill, economic power, great education.
You low-life, pardon me?
Bullying is a scum's practice, you superiority complex hatred fiend.
I will bully you back, crush your backside
Do not mess with...

Halt
We only care what the preacher preaches
As the congregation shouts in our direction
When we are hungry, angry, lonely, tired...
Because we see them out and about, around,
Realizing they are more at a standstill than us......

A Short Halt
Silence surrounds
me in this
dark, dark place,
no one can see me
because of my
sad, sad face. 

I chose to
come across this
way in a time
of sadness
just maybe for
today

you didn't do
this, it wasn't your
fault
I put my life
on my own halt

I had to think 
about what my
life holds
a big problem
or...

Symphony of Halt and Home
I cannot challenge such attributes.

I cannot outshine.

I cannot compete.

By what you choose to value I am dim, unpolished and of little worth.

And so,

I lay down my weapons this night.
I concede this fight.
I offer all that I lack just to keep your attention for one minute...

Our Fault To Halt Salt
when we became broke
grabbed throat and started to choke
then our feet would soak

water were spraying
wind blew and trees started swaying
times are dismaying

we started to seek
those things that people will speak
words which are unique

should stop using salt
be sure to bring to a halt
when it was our...

A Sailors Halt
A SAILORS HALT
The sea arouse rushing with the valiant force of wind,
Seeth he, pose in fear, arms froze
With splash of the wind, eyes close.
If he Christ, would 'ave wish a quick resurrection.
Beholding the mighty rush, eyes smoked with watery execution.
The shipwrecking storms and daring thunders...

Forced To a Halt
What is the pain that I feel when I reminisce about a long time ago?
It feels like a pinch … a bruise … a slow death in motion.
Who can try to comprehend the message within the flow?
Who can fly over the moon and despite the...

Finding Halt That Is Grinding
Finding Halt That Is Grinding

To screaming halt Trump came to a grinding
When hearing that agreement must be binding;
After his body and brain he did further inspect
Results seemed to have a spring board effect
For years has been unwinding and unwinding.

Premium Member Surf Usurped

Hitchhiking by blurred station generic
Gypsy Flora slips anonymous, gravel
Grinds her heart of garbage, barbaric
Buried skeleton stirred, further travel 
Ticket to Keep It Secret

Scarred in fish guts grubby, harbour 
Heaves its putrid out to sea, amnesia 
Avails an arbour over bleak macabre 
Mutineer hurled ragdoll dumb,...

Thoughts
Among the smiles and laughter
Stories and incidents echo
Ice drinks as icebreakers
Singing songs in falsetto

Found the noise unreasonably calm
Inside wars took a sudden halt
Shedding away pieces of joy
Numb mind pondering who's at fault

Insecurities floating on top
The crowd became an excuse to stop
Music to ears felt indifferent
Life's...
