Dumped Poems

Dumped, by app

We'd played each other on the
song guessing app for
six years, ever since we were matched up
when I visited Iceland in 2016; we
both liked Classic Rock and stuck to
70s playlists

For a few weeks one year (2022) I was
"out of sorts" and didn't log in; when
I next opened the app
I saw Haraldur had terminated our six-year
rivalry

I mean,

Do how did you feel getting dumped?

I feel like the worst witch.
Yeah you didn't mine decline anything at all.
But she did to you right?
So you cried that day right?
I did every day.

Do you find the problem?

Dumped

At the city dump discarded parts of the once needed
will forever speak to our lack of self-awareness

A turned over land is built on artifacts
the future will have no name for

Plastic trees will thrive between disposable bones
We will be put away beneath our own food mountains

The land will-fill it will remember nothing gotten
or worshiped at that

Premium MemberWas Christmas Tree Dumped Or Placed

Was the Christmas tree left?
Dumped? Or gently placed?
No one knew, for elves are sneaky.
They wanted the animals to wonder.

The owl flew down for a closer look.
The deer and the fox blinked at each other.
Could they maintain a civil air?
The rabbit hopped over to declare “placed”.

Raccoon kept silent, looking at the pretty decorations.
If they needed to

Premium MemberWe Got Dumped On Today

Seems like we got dumped on today
Between 20 and 30 cm forecasters say
Had it easy so far
Blessed our lucky stars
Welcome to spring bright sun every day

Dumped Games

Your mind games, are my gains, I sense when you play
your blind games, too mind change, Invent what you say 
your mind aims, at my claims, too think the same way, 
so I'm kind, as I find, we think just the same 
and your game, is my gain, you're happy again

but your games, for your

Dumped and Ignored

Last night she called, 
I picked quickly 
"Hey darling" cold voice whispered
"Yes dear" amorously I wanted to get her aligned
"How have you been? 
"You know I've missed you" she continued with a wild rage.
I stressed how I missed her too,
And how I wish we were here as two
Hilariously, I let her hear my funny voice,

Dumped

The angry young man was dump
When he stole his girl friend's red pumps
He struted and swagged
Realized he's been tagged
As a cross dresser and a lame chump

Fooled, Broken and Dumped

The aircraft landed in Nigeria,
The day, 27th December, year 2018
And the airport taxi brought him home,
Mornings and afternoon's
Filled with sounds and sunshine
Amongst the family.
The affluent splendor of his foreign accent herald the days
Yuletide season! He's come from abroad, well, Europe.
* *

As the dying day dies beautifully
In the tender glow of the evening,
The hope of an

Premium MemberShe Dumped the Plumber

There was an accomplished agile plumber,
he could screw nut in bolt in deep slumber.
Wife felt his spanner placed right,
drove her sleep away each night.
She dumped him, reason he didn’t remember.

Dumped

 
Everyone kept asking, "who was she? "
I said, " The one who kept ignoring me"

Each day without you seemed so long
I never understood what I did wrong 

Then later I saw you with another boy 
Never would I have guessed I would be treated as a toy

Years later I see you sitting in

On My Ex-Nothing Birthday My Next-Nothing Dumped Me

On my ex-nothing birthday 
my next-nothing dumped me

Oh vicious coincidences!

I know not which I am more tired of
exes or nothings
(or ice holes?)
or coincidences
or things
or 
or

just all together

My ex broke my heart and left me a Dear John note.
Surprisingly I took it very well and just let her go,
after I tied that note to a brick and threw it through her window.

Dumped Two Point One

once, you promised me everything
my heart smiles with the love you bring
the song of love we used to sing
twice you tried, thrice i got nothing

i know we're not Barbie and Ken
promises made to be broken
and hearts given, these hearts taken
these hearts taken to be broken

we sail for a thousand reasons
as we answer many questions
we go
