Best Lump Poems

I remember

Your smile
When you told me 
You wanted to be a writer

More than that
What you wrote

You sliced me apart
And stuffed my faults
Down my throat

You could not swallow
That I was choked


I look you up once in a while
Curious to see if you made it

You were so...

Tiny spiders spill forth from a crack
in the plaster wall.  Crawling, spelling
out the answers I’ve sought.
Filthy wall vibrates with words.

Words, that drip and ooze down
onto the asbestos tile. Breaking
up, each letter sizzles into a small 
cloud which rises into flickering fluorescence.

Words that are the...

I remember the day she said, " I found a lump. "
I could feel my entire world just sort of slump. 
I put my arms around her as we began to cry. 
I tried to be strong for her, like a tough guy. 
No one...

You often hear those fellas who go bragging in the pub,
about women and their conquests, and how they’re the sexual hub,
they spruik about their exploits like they are a gift from God,
of course I end up listening to, the peas from in one pod.

A very sexy lady once took me aside
And patted me on my enormous backside

Usually all with ending life or with survive
It is my pleasure to extend the predefined
Love is expansible crossing all stories of time.

It is that moment when I myself realised
Sitting on the tree stump to create a delight
Considered an obstacle...

LUMP IN MY THROAT
 
Please take the lump
Out of my throat
I’m trying so hard
Not to give up and choke

Panic and stress 
Worry and grief
I’m a wreck and a mess
Troubled beyond belief

No work or money
But bills piled high
Isn’t it funny?
I break down and cry

Every few minutes

From the dust of clay, we are born,
a naive newcomer to an earthly morn.
From small beginnings in stature we grow,
not knowing to where our life will go.
With probing footsteps, some take it slow
others will step fearlessly and boldly go,
fearing naught of what may lie ahead!
Some...

We both smile,b'cos we know this has to be it
This...

Patted me on my enormous backside
Said, lose some pounds
And we'll go a few rounds
But the lump in my jumper committed suicide...

The female voice without seeing the creature
Is really appealing, like a goddess with sweet features
But we're sometimes surprised
She ends up with crossed eyes
And a lump on her bumper or a tot on her teeter...
