Best Jilted Poems

from rushing waters steal
invading fishes' spritely steel,
twixt heathery beetle's scar
and fluttery, flapping jar

the sentry hill now set
drags ferment's peace to fret,
while in the brave snail's eye
comes forth a baneful cry

from moorhen's craven beak
warm blood the bird to seek,
erect reminders, failing snow
disappear in morning's glow,
and from...

Got dumped, his first
His love, cursed...ouch!
Her thirst, unquenched

So don’t let those other guys get you down
How could we not beat the hippie and witch?
She’s a criminal; he’s a goofy clown
But we can’t beat the Donald, here’s the sitch:

Standing at the altar, first five, now three
Awaiting the voters to be their groom
Casting anxious...

Dear Phillip,

You took my heart,
Threw it out on the floor,
And them jumped up and down on it…
In track shoes, no less.
At least, that’s what it felt like at the time.

You are shower scum.
No, pond scum – that’s much, much worse.
If I think of something worse...

I knew a girl named ______
I saw her every day
I told her that I loved her
and now she runs away

I guess I didn’t love her
we won’t be getting hitched
for how could I have been in love 
with such a silly _______?...

Absolute happiest hive was wuzzing and buzzing
The cousins are coming whispered our queen bee Luzzing
She rarely gets this excited, knowing her duty to the crown.
We were all polishing her honey combs, sideways without a frown.

The cousins did not come often, being from Nebraska and all.

A better critic
  than writer…

Your tongue sharpens,
  as your pen hacks

Bastardized on the altar
  of cold description

Disavowed by the jilted Muse,
 —ink bleeding red

JILTED

He stood there at the altar,
The best man by his side,
Awaiting the arrival 
Of his beautiful, blushing bride.
The vicar was getting anxious:
They should have started at four.
The organist extemporised,
Until she appeared at the door.
An usher kept a lookout
For the bridal limousine
But came back in and...

So much for the lady from Toledo
She had oodles of available dough
She slipped quietly away
One beautiful spring-like day
And, I hear she has another poor beau.

A fugitive slice of moon
was preparing to leave.
From nothingness, tiny thoughts
flew out like moths.
I was watching the fall of night.

The wisdom kills nowadays.
Everyday a scandal breaks out.
A child cries endlessly. I might say
for a logic. Her mother had hanged
herself from a ceiling fan.

A celebrity enters...

I give you your first flower
Before all your lovers 
send them by the hour.
Receive my flower.

Soft and brittle
But how mighty its power!
Let it move in you
when times and sweet, and when sour.

I picked it from my lover.
So here's your first flower....

If love was just a picture, 
Then the frame would be the heart. 

Those who waited in faith and patience, 
Remained recluse in love. 

Love is the little hope that one's wants,
But deserts in times of needs... 

Abandoned by true love is the misery of...

Black umbrella full of blue rain
Disenchanted fella jilted Bella
Red heavy hearts full of pink pain
Not going to be together no forever

Is it better to have Lily loved and lost
To feel like a flower basking in the sun
Only to to have your everything tossed
Reduced dismissed back...
