Best Hospitalised Poems

Growing up 
My father and me
He did the best he could
Because once we were three
 
Events happened
And then we were two
His rise and demise
As his life withdrew
 
Looking back, to the memories we had
They never lasted for years
Some great, some sad
For an ill man he...

Occasionally I despair,
an eternal uphill struggle,
a hopeless walk to sanity:
what else is there for me to do
but scream?

Occasionally my stomach rumbles
as pain, hunger and strife 
make it grow distressingly tight.

Occasionally I try to fight
and seek that elusive light
at the end of the tunnel
only to find...

Two days have passed and its not over
I'm still ravaged by my gory deed of inaction
Been praying to the gods asking mercy
To forgive me and grant me guts and to be swifter in action

I live in a country unsafe for women
Laws and its protectors are...

My hero to me, was just a simple man
He was ill throughout his life, but he raised two sons
Two jobs he held down until he couldn't anymore
Then fate took it's turn, and turned his heart sore

First was the youngest, on a broken bottle he fell
His...

TEA BREAK POEMS

Last year I wrote a book of poems you see,
so I could believe that it was really me.
I thought that I could edit,
mistaken was I to take such credit!

I sent it through by email, was proofread,
but a press of the button and it...

An ordinary Australian from an ordinary country place
Who rallied to the flag's call with god's good grace
He was one of the 33rd Battalion "New England's Own"
Into this swirling maelstrom they were duly thrown
The Great War was raging and to the Western Front he went
A lottery...

Words forbidden to be expressed
A dangerous fact to be disclosed
Making the whole world depressed
I am sorry that you are so obsessed
With the words never to be expressed
The words are secretly decomposed
Scattered around after being recomposed
Spread like bean paste after being compressed
Taste like sweet chilli that’s...

Fracture

The night has broken herself,
thinking of you.
Even now, 
no solace
for the fiery pocket of hate
that I hold in my fists
still burning.

I played the piano
side-by-side with her,
Easter Sunday
where no sun broke 
through
the ossuary 
you called our home.

She slumped upon my lap
suddenly,
like a grief poisoned,
and 
her eyes...

A chokeslam! 
Goodnight sweet prince

Goodnight yawning hippo ****
With rice wine coming out your ears

Boom boom sticks 
A wisecracker talking head

Histrionics at the bandstand 
Eliminated by more than one can shake

Hospitalised due to a 
Finishing move on the concrete 

The poodle evacuated worldy goods 
Outside the...

Once upon a time there were two families,
In which the husbands were confronted with choices,
The consequences of which could be condemning their wives
To a lifetime of pill popping and labelling,
Although neither were told that in such stark terms.

Both wives freaked out with one of their...

I suffered a terrible drama
Got hit by a frozen iguana
It fell out of a tree
And landed on me
I’m hospitalised with the trauma!

Inspired by a sweet friend who had read a news article about iguanas falling out of trees in Florida as they were experiencing plummeting...

grey cloudy... widespread
wet words splashed on my paper
could have been a dream

naked
some would say naughty
laying on the beach

hope... a human trait
lost... fulfilled... realized...
wildlife moves on...

i am human
wife hospitalised 
might be gone awhile

the last
not fiction

Once upon a time
Is that how all story's start
fairy tales from the heart 
not the darkness of fear 
of abuse from ones we hold so dear
the broken promises it wont happen again 
But it did over and over and over seven years  
I was...

Some days my mother and I don’t speak,
We’ll pass each other in the hallway,
 and 
       we will pretend that we are on good terms. 
The hallway wallpaper is torn up – white flowers,
 stubbornly clinging to the wall,

laying in the bath tub
he threw up again
devouring the headache
addicted to his worst enemy
i cant tell you the symphony she played upon her arms
the sharpness i tried to keep at bay
how hard it played upon me
i would try tyo hide away
drugs and booze
only numbed me
sleep...
