Crumpled Poems - Poems about Crumpled

A crumpled thought Unfolded Asking questions I felt their sting “I came to you” “you tossed me out” “why will you not listen” I watched it struggle To un-crumple itself Smooth its rejection Stiffen its resolve. My cold coffee Took its side Whispered from the cup “you do that a lot” “dismiss thought’s thoughts” An oily film clung to my throat As I sat Pondering A crumpled thought ...

I heard taunting echoes and scurrilous snarls. It was my conscience, and I listened as it spoke in accusations, contemptible remarks aimed at me. Shameful words delivered to break my fallen spirit. In mocking voice of Shakespeare's Hamlet, I heard, "Fatuous one, why does your writing hand quiver, mimicking the trembling lips of a child in fear? You dare to call yourself...

Welcome to my world she said with a grin. She pushed back a long fence and here I was Facing crumpled, stacked, sorry, sad automobiles. I had never been here before today. They are amazing, I said. Out of any good ideas apparently. She snickered. We went into her office. I just need some help with my resume’ she said. I could not...

Crumpled Wings That Fly I hold close your crumpled wings, Trebling fear that traps your flight Quivering in the grip of songless things Night crushing pinions swallowing delight. Your caged heart beats wildly next to mine Wrapped in brokenness - numb to soft caresses Dazed in listless trances - faint lassitude entwines With suspended starlight longing to refresh. Nestle your broken parts in this...

Crumpled Thoughts They wait – in hues of vibrating silence - Like leftover orts of rumpled paper wimples On creased clandestine journal pages – Bent scraps of wrinkled inspiration Smudged moments held in their one moment of time Musings fading to illegible Lost chords in treasured memories of radiance, Sunspots of incomplete illumination, Or crumpled creativity on paper wings Snapshots of raw...

I took one thought, which then led to some others. These thoughts were not my own, but they conveyed a picture bigger than my mind alone could conjure, and a frame for them I made. I showed this collage of bright thoughts to others - thoughts articulated by stunning minds. So proud was I to frame them for display. I looked at...

(CRUMPLED THOUGHTS POETRY CONTEST) When you hear the clamor of the birds loud shrieking shockingly it shouldn’t frighten you they simply don’t realize the magnitude of the head of sand that gets washed away onto your shoulders and violates sanctity.
