Best Heart Attack Poems

A group of older men gather
once a week to talk about life 
after a heart attack.

Old Len chews tobacco still 
and tells jokes in a voice so low 
no one can hear the punch line. 

Another man asks Len  
to talk louder so they...

To let you know
My love is real
Listen now
While I tell you 
What I feel
You want to know
 What is true?
I’m telling you 
You have a great view
The truth is right here
In front of your face
Do you think that I 
Could be any more plain?
I try...

Faking a heart attack
last July
was an event.
Even the feds were
marshaled for action.
Cow bells.
Whose got cowbells?

Words can’t harm you.
I’m restless.
Turn on the channel;
click on Oxford.
Turn up the volume;
Let’s play baseball.

About.
About what?
There’s a thriller.
Toot your horn.
Bring the station wagon
	around front.
Business as usual....

I wait for that pain in my arm,
clutching my chest in a state of alarm
bowling me over and turning me blue,
causing me permanent harm.

I'm sure it will happen one day
Regardless of what they might say,
I know my genetics are letting me down
when am I going...

There are frozen furrows in the Earth where
the plow made love to Terra.
It looks so pitiful in the dead of winter, with
no vegetable detritus on the ground to attest to any
kind of harvest. 

For control over the forces of nature,
many have struck a blade into...

There was a young man who was obese.
He ate too much and now he's deceased.
He went to his favorite restaurants and ate a lot of food every day.
He died at the age of thirty and it's not surprising that he passed away.
His family told him...

Don Johnson’s Heart Attack fix
Oh he drank and he smoked and lived through a war,
His arteries were blocked so they said,
Massive heart attack got him, almost for sure,
Chest tromping horses , walking the more,
Almost crushed him to death,      
Driven by...

I wouldn’t say I stared it straight into the eye,
But certainly with death I was sitting side by side.
I was travelling on business, in a hotel room alone,
It was worrisome enough to have me use the phone.

I wouldn’t call it painful just enough to make...

I have this uneasiness, which I never had before.
Started from the central chest, now my left arm sore;
Beads of sweat now all over, though it isn’t hot
Should I wake up my wife and tell her or not?

I apply a pain balm as I try myself...

Am a physically healthy adult 
With an unhealthy heart
The diseases of my heart are anger, stress & worry
I just wasted 48 hours of my life stressing 
My mind couldn't stop cycling
My heart was racing
I now have stomach ulcer
Something I never had before
Am sure those 48...

grieving colors hearts
with dark glimpses of mourning
harden arteries

Breathless gasps 
Agonizing spasms
Ice-cold sweat beads
Fingers clutch a fading heart, palpitating with grief
In a moment, the rapacious pain recedes
Burdened by scorn and disbelief
Fingers unclasp as the beads disperse
As the pressure ascends to give way to relief
Vows of friendship relinquish their crown to deceit
Don’t reminisce… you’ll...

A Late Night Heart Attack
8/11/12
By Sami LaRose
Forgive and forget or move on in regret.
Life is always changing, whether it be from the warm bliss summer days
To the brick cold winter nights, change is something that we cannot fight.
Although the past may hurt us sometimes, it...

He tossed the finished cigar in the bin,
Doctors for years have said it is a sin,
To blow your two lungs out in puffs of smoke,
Is as bad for you as using street coke!

He was advised to go for morning run,
quit cigars, be a vegetarian,
He ignored...
