Best Stuck Poems

I'm Rudolph stuck in traffic, and on this of all the nights,
and up to now my nose has matched each set of traffic lights,
the fat guy in the back keeps bridling at our progress slow,
why I get saddled with him each year, I harnessly don't...

I’m a beautiful angel like you’ll see on a tree
My snow globe plays a carol it is so Christmasy

I’m trapped in this snow globe, I want to get out
I bang on the casing and I scream and I shout

Bobby picks the globe and he shakes...

Being stuck is how I learned I am a cartoonist,
A poet, a writer, a painter.
Being stuck is what makes me 
Seek something new that will interest me.

I know when my brain needs something new.
Her dendrites are crying for another language,
vocabulary words, new methods of painting.

I...

In a moment of silence
The winter's crystals are filled
in a snowglobe with you

A window without curtains
Like two sparrows in the country of love
We escape from problems in line
and money that burns

To get away from Christmas and stress
This is one of the most magical places on...

I used to be free
Acrobatics in the air
I would soar with flair
From here to way over there
Fly away
Into my dreams
Free as the air that brushes by me
Anywhere I could be
Whatever tickles my fancy
I could be the fly on the wall
Or the annoying one
Tickling life and...

It was some curse,
 Locked in a tower all time,
Did I steal a purse?
Or did an unforgettable crime?

I paint the house like Van Gogh,
As I feel I'm going to shout,
I bake cookies and make bows,
But why can't I just go out?
 
I go to my...

There once was a fellow named Stan
Who got his butt stuck in the can
He screamed and he hollered
No one would be bothered
Til saved by his twin sister Jan

Holly boughs draping from mantel bring cheer;
Christmas lights twinkling on tree.
carolers singing their hymns loud and clear
setting the Yule spirit free.

Fire softly burning as shadows display
dancing like elves on the wall;
cinnamon cider scent slowly makes way
as signs of the season enthrall.

Snow globe on table depicts...

STUCK!!!!!!!

Aagh, I’m trapped in the toilet
Look - the lock it is broke,
Help me, what do I do?
I’ve pushed it and pulled it
And yet still it won’t budge,
I’ve not more ideas, have you?

I can’t reach the light
And the time’s ticking on,
The temperature’s started to drop,
It’s cold...

'Twas the night before Christmas, when...
   Oh no, said Rudolph!  Stuck again!
      The sky is dense and techno-waved,
            our path seems wild and misbehaved!

Poor Rudolph stopped...

Snowflakes are falling, it's late on Christmas Eve
Poor Rudolph’s sleigh is stuck fast in the snow
It’s gridlock on the roads and Rudolph can’t leave
The traffic lights are green, but no vehicles can go

Tears run down his nose and it glows bright red
His sleigh has gifts,...

Once knew this dude named Bartholomew
Who tried mending everything with superglue
Now this is quite yucca
Got some in his cuppa
He was stuck for words in an interview

Rudolf is stuck in traffic
This is simply tragic
What will he do with the toys
Eagerly awaited by girls and boys

It's that flock of geese causing the commotion
Flying in the v formation
Blocking the skies so no one can pass
Tried pushing his way through.. but alas

They pecked at...

precious power you possess
wind me up, make me spin
Christmas carols fill the air
     at your side, I skate with joy
     on a glass rink in a child’s toy

captured in this fantasy dome
idyllic village surrounds us
two hearts twirling...

The lines of the glass blur,
the scenery blends 
except for that
strange,
semi-translucent  curvature.
What lay between me
and my living room,
clear yet an acrylic
boundary to freedom;
as I survey
my post nap situation,
with mortal eyes
I realize...
I’m stuck in a snow globe.
My snow globe,
with the quaint pre-Victorian
house and the sleigh...
