Best Punch Poems

Bearing the brunt of betrayal, 
his long-time lady lover leaves him 
for another flame. Surprisingly saying 
"I'm so sorry, Sam, we should start
seeing other people"

Broken by a brutal blindside 
out of nowhere. He couldn't comprehend 
the reason; the shock shook him 
like a loud trembling...

Zero to a hundred
    Smoke between the ears
    An amygdala doing donuts
    Simply changing gears

  when a VW Beetle is seen...

Hit, scream, pound, punch
Have I learned my lesson
 Have I had enough
I taste my blood
I writhe in pain
I made you mad
My fault again
You know the answers
You're always right 
I'm  wrong to doubt you
So let's not fight
Please settle down
We'll go to bed
I know you're so...

I dont like feeling
Anything at all
I avoid my emotion
Preventing the fall

But somehow your words
have rascal ability
To evoke in me
A pathetic jealousy

I have no right
I know, I've no claim
Thought I was immune
From going insane

But those few harmless words
"she's coming round tonight"
Morphs hidden feelings
Into parasites

Let her come...

I'm a Prizefighter and my name is Little Mac.
When I fight my opponents, they end up on their backs.
I defeat all of my opponents even though they're twice as tall as me.
I have to jump when I punch their faces and I drive them to...

A speeding star or spaceship, no it’s SUPERMAN
Only a bat can tell who knows and sees, but as a caped crusader, one can feel the breeze being BATMAN
The Legend Of Justice, but the dialog being doom
A fight to the finish
But who will be victorious and...

Judy, dear Judy, are you the Punch and Judy, Judy
Did you fight with Punch for a small piece of foodie
D'ya get knocked in the eye
For a piece of cherry pie
I'm sure you could handle yourself, dear Judy Judy

I remember how it was,
the first time 
I got into the ring,
with a more experienced boxer,
I hadn't a clue,
of what to do.
Pummeled from one side 
to the other,I took
the loss, licked my 
wounds and understood
where  I went wrong.
With a few simple moves,
slip a punch...

Hate me
Berate me
Despise me
Deeply hurt me
Traumatise me
Use me
Ridicule me
And brutalise me
Hit me
Kick me 
punch me
Reject me
Stamp and dance on my grave
And have a rave
Squeeze every molecule of happiness
From my wretched soul
Poke me in the eye
And stab me until I die
I am despicable
Forgettable
Unwanted
Unloved
Useless
Cursed to be born

How big you seemed, how bright your stage
how loud and funny, in my little boy's eyes 
you were larger than everyone else's life,
even a lifetime later, your memory still is

Those amazing vaudeville routines, with new
command performances for each gathering, 
were rehearsed in daily kitchen pantomimes
while...

If life is a joke,
Then I am the punch line!...

I want to make a joke about it, tell you that
your body has become a shelter for broken hearts, a
sanctuary for atheist gypsies,
you are a whole new definition of home.

Your body has become a shelter for broken hears, a 
hiding place of a deserted alley...

They all come in
There’s a family din
But the cat sat on the mat

Tea time done
They have some fun
But the cat sat on the mat

It’s early evening
Kids are screaming
But the cat sat on the mat

Eight at night
Kids out of sight
But the cat sat on the mat
