Ditched Poems | Examples

Deception

At sunset, orange frescos on the west wall
Sink gradually into the bowels of hills flung
By distant wavelengths of a backward illusion,
Which yells silently at concupiscent terns,
Yodelling and returning from carnivals of the
Wild. From the faint glow, a rainbow stretches
For a cuddle, musing over a curious world,
Ditched by diaphanous tarradiddles of the odd.
Shadows on ground level travel on painted
Tars, recreating their bosoms on surfaces
Raven-black and soot-framed.
Seagulls welcome waves in one cracked voice,
Honking the horns of billed staccato.
Among able-bodied patterns of bituminous tracks,
Rivers, ponds, pools seek their faces on sun-flushed
Mirrors, which laugh at their fatuous inclinations
Mired by the sputum of drained rains.

The Sunspots of Summer Outbreak

I’m twisted
into submission;
admission
to true world
of imaginary breeze
and coconut salt.

I’m a seed,
slipping into sand,
letting go.
The wild sea’s
crest and trough didn’t swallow me,
silence me - my thoughts.

Roots, a muse -
rest and recreate;
drudge baggage
ditched at shore.
The dunes spoil me with their grit
and pink hydrangeas.

Sunglasses
recover my eyes;
sunburn writhes
on my skull.
Hair in free fall, snarled and damp,
like anemones.

An assault
of coconut breeze
in true world;
admission
into twisted submission
of relaxing waves.

The sunspots
of Summer outbreak.
I bring pail
and shovel.
I shore up castle, today,
midst whirlpool of moat.

The true world
tries to interfere,
as I splash
cruel eyes.
My hands and feet completely
disappear…left - write!

'STEM' means Stagnation

     The most popular educational trend
        Courses labeled as ‘STEM’   
     Science, Technology, Engineering, Math
        Offerings that lead to destruction and wrath

     Nuclear fusion and fission they aid and abet
         Not to mention ‘AI,’ which’ll destroy us all yet
     The more ‘modern conveniences’ we have, the more harried we are
         Ask folks who bicycle, glad they ditched cars

     Perhaps we can teach the next generation
        how best to avoid war through negotiation
     Failing that, mankind seems doomed to stagnation

Black Hole Love - I'm Calling All-in

I stoked the fire, you drank the flame.
I poured out my soul, you ditched the game.
I'm gutted, bone dry, howling in pain -
You reeled me in, gave nothing back again.

Black hole love — you ripped me apart.
I'm holding the line, playing my part.
I gave and gave, you drained and drained. 
How did our love become so unchained?

Oh Black Hole Love,
I Give, You Suck,
Getting nothing back, in return.
I'm calling All-in!
Black Hole Love, Black Hole Love.

You twist my pleas - I'm on my knees.
Let's play it straight, oh, baby please!
All I want is some fire back from you.
Not choking smoke on black strap blue.

I won't break for you, anymore.
I'm standing, knocking on your door.
I want to love you more and more.
You're the only one that I adore.

Oh Black Hole Love.
I Give, You Suck,
Getting nothing back, in return.
I'm calling All-in!

I won't break for you!
No more, No more!
Black Hole Love ...
Black Hole Love!

Venti Chai with Cold Foam

I went to Starbucks this morning,
it makes me sick with regret,
now my morals I am mourning,
And I hate the drink I get.
I want to be more punk, 
Minimalist and spikes adorning,
so i ditched all my stuff,
but still get Starbucks, how boring. 
I rant and I rave about how i hate the 1%
i say lower taxes and drop the inflation,
But i still get the  chai with milk 2%

By the Side of the Road

Drive down a highway and look left or right
And I can, for sure, guarantee
By the side of the road, resting there in plain sight
Will be plenty of garbage to see.

Plastic bags strewn around or entangled in trees,
Cans and bottles and wrappers and such,
Plus so many containers and papers – oh jeez!
It is more than a little too much. 

Though it’s rare to see somebody tossing it out
It quite naturally had to be pitched,
So the question is really, what kind of a lout
Can’t just wait for his trash to be ditched?

Money Can You Hear Me

I have an addiction I could't see,

Until I tried to let it be.

Couldn't believe where it took me,

It shook the core of my belief.

May I have some relief,

PLEASE!!

I'm Sorry I was a thief.

It was causing so much grief,

I just wanted a piece of what they had,

I was treated bad and was always sad.

I never had a real dad.

Everyone followed your path,

Stealing my sense of worthy,

It hurt me.

Took so much of me to see,

Why My friends ditched me.

Now I am sore,

It was hard being poor.

I don't want you anymore,

Just settle the score,

I don't want to be,

Addicted to money.

I'm going through withdrawal,

Who do I call,

I gave it my all,

In the end I feel so small,

Sorry about the fall,

It was a really tall wall.

I almost made it too,

Now I'm calling out to you,

Money can you hear me?

I was told you are energy,

What are you all about?

I need to find out,

I'm shouting horrible things.

Meanwhile greedy Kings,

Stealing our dollars,

Creating chaos and wars,

And little to scholars.

Can you hear me hollering,

I don't know if you care.

But they are using you wrong,

I SWEAR!!

You Said Empty Promises

you treated me 
like i’m just ****
how am I to come back from this?
you ditched me
when i needed you most
oh how easy i was, for you to dismiss

you said you
would always be around
but that has not been true, 
as i have found.
and you said you 
wouldn’t let me go
but i fell
from this ledge
You let me drown.

you cast your blind eye
i cannot lie
you let me down
the fact i’m trying to wrap my head around
but that’s so hard 
such a thing to believe
after everything you’d said
all you’d promised to me

Holiday Meals

Imagine if, when giving thanks,
We grilled some burgers, ribs and franks
And ate our turkey in July
With yams and fresh-baked pumpkin pie.

Our guests would rear up and revolt
And out the door a few would bolt,
For some traditions can’t be ditched,
Including foods which can’t be switched.

I’ve heard some folks eat mac and cheese
On both occasions, if you please,
And one Thanksgiving, we did brood
When stuck with eating Chinese food.

But mostly, menus stay the same
On holidays, when families claim
To stick to what they always eat,
To make the past and present meet.

A Story you never hear in Sunday School

    Rebecca was three years old when Isaac took her for a wife
       Nineteen years later, no children, but still pro-life

    Finally pregnant, Rebecca’s joy was short-lived, with twins inside
       tossing and turning tumultuously in the embryo of Isaac’s bride

    Rachel heard of this and learned her lesson
       Meeting Jacob at age five, her brother Laban said: ‘No messin’ 

    Seven years (and one week) later, they finally got hitched
       Thoughts of kids at five, ‘unceremoniously’ ditched

Torn up by tearZ

Sorrow-whelmed and sad
Tearing me apart by thoughts
Shedding tranquil tears…

Conquered my demons 
I’m stronger than I realize
I can face my fears…

Nightmares haunt me so
Scaring me into sadness
Ditched the world of woe…

True, living a lie 
My fantasy is to be 
With you, stay here please

Drowning in my tears
Then, I feel joyous and glad
Grief turns to relief . . .

Itchy Snitch

  There once was a snitch ditched in itchy pride,
sick of being tied, to grumpy cats side~
  she lured his furry tail,
  trapped him in a caged tale,
she sat, blowing kisses that were denied…

Hidden Anguish

Written: January 21, 2024
                    ____________________________________

Its lack of meaning is puzzling
The smile on my face
The pure one is evanescent
I ditched you in afar space
Nobody cares of my anguish
Or even witness my tears
They presume I'm laughing
Yet I regret not having you here
Nobody grasps how inure it is
They believe me to be fearless
I'm told it won't harm me
Yet, I suppose this is witless.

Vivid feelings for you turn idle
They believe I was set free
Still, it's as if chains bind me
I am tangled in the mystery
Nobody feels I need you badly
They expect I can handle it alone
But they don't grasp I'm bawling
In a state of utter lassitude
Today, I lost something dear
I lost something unreal
The core of my soul has left lately
My loss has devastated me
My beliefs have vanished
Once I felt adducible, I lost
I lost my core convictions
In sadness, I cry—why me?

Not The Ring She Was Expecting

Jimmy wanted shut of his girlfriend Joan
Because all she did every day was moan
She was longing for some bling
A bright gold engagement ring
But he ditched her with a' ring' to her phone.

Letter

A letter was pushed through my door
The writing I’d not seen before
On the envelope it said ‘For Sue’ 
Written in red not black or blue

I opened it as Sue’s my name
Such vitriol meant to defame
But why had it been aimed at me
I just moved in just after three

The nature of the letter left me shaken
And I truly don’t like confrontation
There’s a knock at the door, I open it
But step back, afraid I may take a hit

A lady said, “I moved out yesterday
Please pass on any post my way”
I said, “Tell me are you called Sue
A letter came, I guess it’s for you.”

I retrieved the letter from the bin
Sue read it much to her chagrin
She said, “It’s from my evil Ex
I ditched him, life is so complex”

Sue came in and we drank tea
She had the same humour as me
Since then we became firm friends
So this is where the story ends
