Flap Poems | Examples


Premium Member All in a flap

A step too far, brings right of passage to a ledge
Fluttering at cliff walls, pushing life’s brittle edge
A sheer instinctive thrust, with no trust to pledge
Now or never moment, undermines fear’s wedge
A chick leaps off, flailing frail wings fail to fledge
Featherweight of hope meets a ten-pound sledge
Crashing straight down, no safety net to dredge
Next guy flaps like mad, landing softly in a hedge

They never flap


what birds might think about planes

They obviously shave everywhere

Ehh you can see into it’s stomach

His farts stick the smell is everywhere 

I talk to him not a peep from him


I might do one what sheep think of clouds

Are they scared to jump in case the never come down

Where the  is it’s nest-sorry back to the bird one

His wings are on fire

She broke her nose 

Pulling the cord on this con

That er nearly flew into me

He’s a noisy er when he takes off

You should see him trying to stop man I laughed so hard

He’s got family he meets regularly 

I kinda like the word regularly it makes me roll it
like regurallly

Honest left wing up to bird God
it face planted after suddenly exploding my cousin Gus was there

Man this is gonna rub
Do German conspiracy
(see I wanted to be freaks after conspiracy but I consider all humanity freaks) there was nein eleven

They think they own the skies

It’s kink is to get boxes shoved in it’s rear I just don’t get it

This was fun
Let’s do it
It

A Flap of Crows

The bare branches were shaking,
twigs rattled like ill-fitting teeth.


I thought:
'any moment now
the coal black lumpiness of them
will break a bough,
and all tumble down or up,
creating sky-slides of avian tumult'.


They jousted at each other,
clattering their sharp quilled feathers
like angry Black Knights.

The very air shook as they bounced,
up and down
imitating hooligans on a drunken spree -
rowdy 'caws' assaulting all ears.

Then,
in a sudden spray of alarmed confusion
they scattered, wheeling away,
in every direction.

From behind a thick-glass window,
someone must have muttered:

Shoo!

Jezebels Seduction

Off she took her leathery cap 
For an apparently sought nap
She had secured with a milky pap,
Her decided pillow Bob’s lap
But with her trousers’ flap
Open like Satan’s trap,
Thus, her sleep intentions making a crap
And she a target for Christian Mother’s slap,
On her head an upset father’s rap
And, sure, a child’s gossipy clap…
Between her and honesty of purpose, a gap
Bob as simple as a candy wrap
On the whole, a Jezebel’s seduction 
By Anita, member by induction.

Premium Member He Would Flap His Ears

There once was a fellow named Todd
Who had a very strange habit, quite odd
When girlies came near
He would flap both his ears
To signal he was ready, yesireebob!

Premium Member Battle Rap - Verbal Flap Isn'T All That

You act like you’re all that -
gaining green when you rap,
but I say lines of utter crap
come from your verbal flap.
You lack and I can back that.

My slapjack, whapping facts
would not be rinsed with tact
since odds are a massive stack
of my fly responses so snap
they’ll waste yours to scrap.
You’ll bleed a need for a map
just to sense our distance gap.

I could secure a win wrap
in the deep sleep of a nap
with word whirls of pure blur
punching, crushing your rap,
maiming your able so unstable
it’s incapable to react transact 
any how to track your ego back.

My hit of truth would impact
and sack your rap so abstract
that my heard word redact
would squish lisp yours compact,
then subtract, detract, refract
and ransack precisely exact
the trash you call a talent act.

So, go! Sate-debate my rap trait.

Meteorological Clap Flap Ha

Oooh look. Oh wow. Correlating jumping twists and combinations of bunnies,irons,toothbrushes and eye lash curlers. Turn then a stick. Rotational gravitation and melodically performed interludes. Such magnifications of a single note. Kissing a kindling to produce an even steady glow. Epitomising myth,fables and heavily guarded secrets. Yet seconds are counted by a tick tick tick. And if a lion says hello then one should not discuss crochet with a snooker cue.  Balls then in many halls. Darkly dimming daring done. A persnickety perennial pineal gland. Hahahaha and the forts. Hahahaha and a day is one hour 9 minutes. Hahahaha cubes cantering. Xxxx zoologist zones. *** meteorological *** clapflap xx

Premium Member The Quick Use of a Fly Flap

The fly
On a bowl's rim
Fresh banana nut bread  
Aroma floats as a fly dies
Sweet Death

The Barbie Doll Flap

The Barbie Doll Flap

By Elton Camp

A group of folks are raising hell
Asking a fat Barbie from Mattel

Should a doll be impossibly thin
Or preferable to have a double chin?

Seems to me that what we’ve got
Is the classic “tempest in a teapot”

A girl won’t be traumatized either way
For it’s just a thing with which to play

A doll as a model she won’t seek
As an ideal for her own physique

Should Mattel make a Barbie fat
There’s little consequence to that

This flap never should begin
Next will it be an enormous Ken?

Shame on those who try to insist
Common sense they have missed

An Ode To the Flap On the Coffee Cup

The flap on the Coffee Cup
bothers me so.
Not staying in place,
where it should.

How something so simple and small,
could stand a chance at all,
for reaching the Thoughts in My Head,
puzzles me so.

So insignificant, 
with little importance,
perhaps trying to hide 
the more important worries that wander My Head.
Oh, the flap on the Coffee Cup.
