Choppy Poems | Examples

Premium Member moonbeams enchant me


 silvered waves glisten on choppy sea
peek-a-boo moonbeams enchant me

Teakler and the moonlight

How merciful the is Neptune
that we must travel the sea
does Poseidon make the waters
choppy might man wish to
conquer the seas
As woman treats the world horrible
might she find a lover then
she'll smile
Vishwakarma ,ay bless the ship maker
only for Neptune to curse him
the ship stands tall in the what are cat tails
to drift into the stream
through the creeks and rivers
and out to the sea.

The shoots of cattails
resemble the taste
smiles when mentioned
marvels the taste

Premium Member Morning at Lake Red Haw

choppy and cold river, white foam is gathering as if it has been in a blender
there is no sound this morning, no bird speak, no crickets, it is silent
I dipped my hand into the water, it was freezing like a frozen halibut.
A peanut butter cup made its way to my mouth, I tasted salt and chocolate
I could smell fish this morning, a dead bass or bluegill, most probably.


Premium Member Dangling Short-Lines Over Water-Falls

Oh, dear reader
of short-line
poems,
are you, like me,
short of breath?

Have you tried
to read
my short-shift stuff,
with ever so
short-lines,
Aloud?

It's sad to say
it sounds
a tad choppy!
Like it's,
ridin' on
bobbin' seas,
sailing into 
a head-wind
over the air-ways.

It rollicks along 
with carriage returns, 
unwinding, 
flowing freely 
from margins
set tight,
to waterfall.

Sad to say,
I'm done with it!
For me personally,
a poem
is just a thought,
a heady 
daydream fling,
until its read, 
Out-Loud!

Premium Member The Portal of an Oval Window

I sit and stare beyond what's there, besides
"The oval window, a portal to another dimension".
It drags the moon's eclipse off the sun's circle
to show an ellipse with twin foci, in two dimensions not one.

The tension woven into its shape shrouds a duality,
a flip-flop state, steeped in, 
and reeking with ambivalence.
An oval coracle holding on,
rocking in choppy seas.

Therein lies a worm hole, 
where logic warps to both sides, here and now, together,
where light bends, twists refracts to an oval rainbow,
where time stands still, then back-tracks
to before, to way, way back when, 
and on to now and then.

An oval belies uncertainty, 
spiraling like sand, 
down in an hour-glass
down the plug-hole, down into the sink below,
collected in an oval coracle, 
an egg yet to hatch.

14-5-2025 Days Spent On A Draft

From the outside it might look like my life has improved, 
But in spite of how I like to be viewed, 
I’ve never had to bite my tongue as often as I have in these last few months.
Just gotta chew on my words like food.
On the Southside of the city view, 
The lights on the water shifted reflecting off the choppy grooves, 
The night stopped by and gave me an eye.
Like my mother, 
Tonight disapproved. 
Tomorrow too, 
Or at least I’ll assume. 
For all the loud fights with myself,
I still feel awfully removed, 
Almost asleep behind the lights because living lively is living like a ruse. 

Take me as a bite, 
Chew on my words for a while, 
Spit out the waste as your cheeks grow full. 
Taste the bile, 
Brew on the thoughts for a while, 
Hints of a sorry guile pace meekly on your tongue.
The push, 
And the pull.


Premium Member Seasick

These high waters are worse than choppy
Scary roller coasters they copy
Our vessel tossed like a sailboat
We can barely stay above or afloat

This storm is the worst I’ve ever seen
It makes my stomach feel green
I am too ill to primp or preen
Tossed and turned like a kidney bean

Guitar string heart

I have a guitar string heart
You plucked the 
Strings and healed the 
Scars

I have a guitar string heart
You’re the one who came and healed my 
Scars

I was used to being abandoned at 
The corner of a wall
When you came 
Along and-
Plucked my strings and closed 
The wounds

Never would I have 
Imagined you

My heart was broken into pieces 
And left alone
I was torn but 
Then you-
Plucked my strings and closed 
The wounds

And this song is sounding
Choppy and
That’s because of 
You

You make my heart stutter 
When you’re in 
The room

Crashing Waves

Pain is all Around,

My head is pounding,

Static noise surrounding me.

Like horns sounding,

Symphonies of energies.

Rippling through Eternity,

Having their way with me.

A vessel on this choppy sea,

Thrashing and crashing about.

Trying to scream,

I shout,

No sound comes out.

Only waves of commotion,

Invoking more E-motion,

Trapped in this Ocean.

And it keeps growing,

Overflowing,

Throwing me,

Into a state,

I can't relate.

I can't think straight,

I let it all go,

Embracing my fate.

Listening,

I wait.

Static of crashing waves,

Digging up graves.

Buried,

Within my brainwaves.

Premium Member Rudolph's Broken Leg

Santa's reindeer were in preparation,
training for the big occasion,
getting themselves in top condition
for their Christmas Eve expedition.

But on this particular Christmas,
Rudolph was experiencing pain and stiffness.
Santa worried about his fitness
and a noticeable lack of swiftness.

X-rays showed Rudolph had a leg fracture,
so he was temporarily put out to pasture;
and seeing as the winds were rather choppy,
Santa delivered presents in a flying jalopy.

Crashing Waves

My Head is pounding,
Static noise surrounding,
Everything  I see.
Like Horns sounding,
Symphonies of energies,
Rippling through eternity.
Waves of the Choppy Seas,
Having their way with me.
Thrashing and crashing about,
Trying to scream,
No sound comes out.
Drowned out,
Splashing about,
Outside motion,
Creating a commotion.
Invoking the emotion,
Trapped in the ocean.
That keeps growing,
Throwing me,
Into a state,
I can't relate.
I don't think straight,
Embracing my fate,
Sitting, listening I wait,
Head pounding away,
The static of crashing waves,
Digging up Graves,
Burried within brainwaves .

Premium Member The Harris-Trump Debate Over Choppy Seas

Harris and Trump hit the stage
At stake is the next US president
The debate was filled with rage
The debate was filled with torment

It was like watching a tennis match
With each participant taking shots
Back and forth we watched the barbs hatch
Back and forth each tried to connect the dots

Harris let her racket do the talking
While Trump defended the ball in his courts
The participants were mocking and rocking
The participants built word forts and false reports

Harris wasn't perfect and neither was Trump
But you can see clearly which one looked the part
Both party's stars are looking to triumph 
Both party's stars are pledging a fresh start

Time and time again we hear campaign dreams
So it comes down to which candidate you believe in
Which candidate has less Pinnochio inseams 
Which candidate you want to win

On November 5th the votes will be cast
And of importance, our American welfare is at stake
So think it over and be true and steadfast
So think it over and make ... no mistake

The Sparrows

The threat of rain’s kept folks away,
But out here by the river,
The sparrows flock when I sit down,
To see what I’ll deliver.

I never feed them, but I guess
That other humans do
And so they hop around my bench
In case some crumbs I’ll strew.

When minutes pass, they flit away
To find another source
As I gaze out at choppy waves
While feeling no remorse.

sentances ending with o words

 In fall its leave color browish red and orange
Oak tree nature meaning occult
Ever think of owning
sapplings known as oaklings
Oaklings somewhat oak like
I have seen Oarfish
I certainly  oufgushed
I hail from Oaktown.
I dress flashy some say obscenely,
I am a sailor obviously.
The floor boards of mysail boat,oaky.
No problem for me okey.
Sailing on the Pacific ocean,
The seas are choppy and open.
In the ocean you will see oarweed.
To find my perfect oasis
I have no obang.

Premium Member Onward and Upward

Over the rocky terrain 
Over the mountains high
Over the choppy seas
Onward we struggle by

Still we brave the day
Still we stand and fight
Still we forge ahead 
Onward through the night 

With passion we live our lives
With honor we ever grow 
With hope we dream our dreams
Onward and upward we go
