Best Wrenching Poems

 I’ve perfected the art
Of withholding a fart
I tighten my buttocks and clench
But when no one is the vicinity
I let rip with a dreadful stench

A silent secret fart released in a confined place
To some folks I guess it’s an utter disgrace
If I fart in a...

There was a diner cook in South Hupper
whose food was bad from breakfast to supper.
Tried to make it right
sadly lost the fight
when shot dead by a poisoned up-chucker....

Five years ago he joyously visited the maternity ward;
now it is the oncology floor.
Kindergarten will not be in the cards this year -
just lots of tears.

She has the same bald head she bore
when he coached his wife through
the Lamaze breathing they both had trained for;
the...

On this earth, which the man beholds
As his sanctuary own, he has proved
The mightiest of all and defied 
Challenges unthinkably hard,
Has taken the route of science 
To go up the value chain
That shields him from disasters  
And plagues but at what price? 
Lives sacrificed...

Something happened to me and it was extreme.
As I was aborting a baby, it let out a loud scream.
The scream was heart-wrenching and it was chilling.
It was terrifying and I certainly didn't like the feeling.
There were no ifs, ands, or maybes.
I decided to stop aborting...

Many regrets have their bitterness
over things dreamed up and not done,
and unable to go back and undo them as sadness,
I can forget them all but one!...

Affliction with comprehension,
now plain as day
predisposition to experience
(particularly abstract) cognitive
acquisition assailed at bay

posits me to suspect mental
deficiency within gray
matter of yours truly, whose
academic track record lay
in abyssal ruins, and

as three score orbitz round
the sun, yours truly doth pay
a hefty emotional price oy vey,
the voluminous, onerous,
horrendous,...

I try not to cry or leave with an open sigh.
Instead I hang on tight and cry on the inside.
I pry apart my feelings and reel in my line.
You were mine and feel the need to cry once more.
My tears pour out the heart inside...

The crisis starts boiling
about the invisible foes.
        The contraptions hope to recapture
        the moods.

Harsh, arrogant and ritualistic.
In the stark nudity of silence

Gut wrenching heartache 
my heart is full of sadness 
death leaves a deep void...

It’s shameful, the way I clutch.
Like a child with a broken toy,
believing if I just hug it tight enough,
it’ll fix itself.

I know people aren’t possessions.
But tell that to the part of me
that has only known love as something
that gets taken
just when I start to believe...
