Best Hangover Poems


The Hangover

“The death lasts an average of 49 days, starting from the day the deceased realized his death”. Bardo Thodol (The Tibetan Book of the Dead)


I beg you, death, pour me the final sip
of your elixir of the dreamless sleep.

Oh, strongest wine of darkness in the glass
I’ve dipped my lips just seven weeks ago,
which bitter sweetness promised to bestow 
upon me an oblivion. Alas,

the everlasting boozer comes around.
He’s mortal as of now, he is bound
to see another one anemic dawn
of consciousness among the smoking ruins 
of non-existence. Curse you all, the brewings
and the distilleries of death! The morn

of a new life is painful. The hangover,
the nausea, the ache - that's all what's left
of my sweet void. Oh, the internal heft
of being!.. The phlox, the marigold, the clover

on my fresh grave are still in bloom but I 
am born again to suffer and to die.

Sake Hangover

her mannequin flesh and acidic eyes dragged his inner beasts of burden from his bones and ruined them both. the subtle silence of bitter thoughts and broken promises creep through their pores and violates their veins. love is a marionette, twistedly dancing without ever touching the ground, mocking almost lovers and the corpses of letters written in bloody tears. he said, "be my coffin", her response was a peck on the cheek and the slamming of a door.

Premium Member Halloween Candy Hangover

Oh my!
Halloween night
Of fun and spooky fright
Moonlight creating flickering
Shadows

Children
Quite elated
Trick-or-treating with friends 
Who’s creepiest with make-up and
Costumes

Evening
Getting cooler
Night is getting darker
Children walking with bright flashlights
Chilling

Goblins,
Haunted houses,
Black cats, witches on brooms,
Owls hoot, bats silhouette the moon
Eerie!


Carved out
Spooky pumpkins 
Glowing flickering eyes 
Watch out for small ghost and goblins
Door sign

Grumpy
Children to bed 
Sick with crampy  tummies
Halloween candy hangover 
Nightmares

Children Story

My parents didn’t celebrate Halloween so I didn’t have the pleasure of the fun ... I always made my boys their costumes and painted their faces. When Halloween evening came around my friends and I would walk our children around the safe neighbor hoods. 
  They used  to have so much fun.

Hangover

We celebrated
We danced happily and let
our joy out with pride

The Hangover

Summer warms the sloth
he stirs,
oh to have your energy.

Hangover Haiku

Furry tongue, dry mouth
Head throbing in guilty pain
WHY?..Did I get so drunk.


Love Hangover

when the night
calls it a day
our fingers separate,
there we are, apart
and hurting.

Premium Member Haiku Hangover

I've hoisted too many Haikus
backed by several Senryus
My Questionku it would seem
where to point Monoku stream
and where to dump Dodoitsus

The Hangover

The dark circles around my eyes,
made people think it is insomnia.
But I know the reason behind!
They think it is bradycardia
But it only happens, when I look at you 
No one knows the reason behind
me suffering from asphyxia. what to do 
but I was breathless with your thoughts!
Everyone assumed it to be oneirophobia,
But in reality, I don't wanna miss you even in my dreams!
When I wander in my own world, fully immersed in my own thoughts,
They think I'm schizophrenic, they think I'm paranoid.
But in fact,that's Euphoria!
The immense happiness I get, thinking of you!
People think I'm weird or got drunk,
when I'm still haunted by your words
but that's just a hangover!  a hangover of your thoughts!

Premium Member Good Bye Hangover Days

I use to be a two fisted drinker,
always getting myself totally blitzed.
Now I'm just a social drinker.
Three drinks and that's it,
because the hangovers I'd experience would linger on for days,
leaving me in a very deep depressed state
and who in their right mind would want to feel that way?
Certainly not me. Good bye hangover days.

Love Is a Hangover

HE beat me with his battered words. 
He deceives me with with deceptful ways.
I live in his darkness of pain and loniness.
I long for his infidelity.

I taste his anger for me.
I sawllow his beating on me.
I look into his eyes. I see his hatred for me.
I drink myself drunk, until my love is a hangover.

Hangover

I can't remember and she won't let me forget.

Hangover

I will admit to being confused
my face this morning, looks contused

I have  memory none of what went on
where I was or what  had on

I appear to be wearing womens’ clothes
and there’s something strange tickling my nose

Down below’s all intact, I checked before
with zealous tact

The strangest writing’s on my chest, sort of
 text-speak, rhyming  jest

And using mirror I read on, appears 
quick-written by a girl called Ron

Rhymes with duck and punt and rum 
and parting statement says “what fun!”

Wallet’s full, I don’t despair but
something sticky in my hair?

Trying to rise from out my lair,
I see I’m handcuffed to the chair

But what’s more vexing is the sign
on front room window’s polished line

The man in here, should get a medal
he’s fun and such a sexy devil!

Premium Member Green Aftershock


                   When the emerald eyes of Ireland 
                      were clocks ticking in the sky
                   my brain was drowning in the sofa 
                            trashing against a tide
                    Anxiety levels raised like a black 
                 mamba in the grass, her poison set
               a timer running to see how long I'd last
                   As toes started to wiggle the heart  
                  thumped out its beats, memories of 
           that night's gig were, for certain, incomplete
               Eyes had not yet opened to the horror 
               which lay within until the smell of vomit
           found a path from the green waste paper bin
              An ashtray filled with worries sat beside a 
            vase of wilted flowers I removed myself from
              the sofa and sank thirteen shots of powers
