Best Wreck Poems

II

And did his rash actions give this prince
Cause, in moments of troubling quietude,                 
To ruefully ponder on all which could not
Be rewound?       ...

The last few weeks have been real hard
You see the "dealer of life" deals the cards
As the trials and blessings come and go
It's true we must reap what we sow
At times the trials are many and the blessings are few
Just let the light of your...

This month she's a singer
in public lewd and crude
pushed into the limelight
and usually half nude

Next month she'll be a model
a drug-addicted child
in and out of courtrooms
another youth gone wild

The latest greatest train wreck
is just another face
she'll rise and fall so quickly
then another takes her place

Each...

I come here often, stop,
and from the river bank, watch
the ribs of an old wreck break through
the surface on an ebbing tide. 
After all this time it still seems
to crave for breath, to air 
its last remains. 

Whatever past it has
no longer resides in living...

 (double sijo)
virtuous woman seasoned of life’s wisdom without schism
sex kitten smitten, honey dos omitted, all lies acquitted
having searched wrecked world over… found fickle love… where’s my dove?
                 ...

I woke up and toked,

wrapped up the little jokes,
and led the flow of traffic on down the road...


I'm not Casper but I sher Boo the mood of plaster,

I'd rather stiff at narks to break cards, 

with hard farce,

never gettin' pulled over by the words-

...wait in...

You know of tale of Fiona and Shrek.
They had both been human and ogre.
Changing twice, living, loving maugre,
Happily ever after was left in a wreck.

Fairy tales have to end that way for tots.
Society prefers it that way in stories.
Must be loving and living in glories.
However,...

WRECK OF SHIP-AFRICA

Where is the sentiment of those who fought?
When their blood is shed and their story taught
Are we forgetting or we never knew.

Are we going to watch this sheep wreck
O! I cry for the captains are lepers and dread
We need another Christ to save...

Brexit Sonnet No.5
‘To Clothe The Wreck’
 

A game of chance, the climb to rule this land,
As much a slip of others as trip of yours.
Oft’ ruled by chance events, not thoughts well planned,
Same for freshers new, as time-served bores.
And now we see the cards in...

There’s a place somewhere
It’s been long forgotten, 
Where shades of lilac, cream and white
Fill the foggy world far into the misty sea.
The murky skies with ivory clouds,
Shield it from heavens view.
So that the shells may lie in  peace.

Amidst these shattered, clattered shells
Lies a boat...

Jeep
Prideful youthful
Bouncing, mudding, leaping
Pride joy junk heap
Tearing, ripping, smashing
Sorry, sad

This busted broken body-
is not me alying here.
I’ve gone quickly on to Exodus.
You need not shed a tear

Past wrinkled steel and busted glass;
past smoke and pain and fire,
Myself left quickly in the night.
Our Lord did lead me higher.

The ground will hold my broken shell,
but just...

Help! Help me! 
I've committed a crime so stupid
Why didn't I listen to the signs
They held 'Forbidden' written in blood
yet I was too intrigued by curiosity 
to tuck tail turn away
The fruit so sweet, so tantalizing
like a siren to pirates
became a wagging finger of smoke,...

Violet Jessop, threat ahead
Escaping Poseidon’s death toll’s
“Look after this, will you?” He said
She did, counting down the portholes

First the Olympic’s nurse enrolls
Last, the Britannic’s noon code red
Titanic claimed her shipmate’s souls
Violet Jessop, threat ahead

Miss Unsinkable showed no dread
There as a nurse of many roles
To safety,...
