Quick Wit Poems | Examples

Here But Gone

Never gone is my mom, her words and her spirit will always live on, through her children she cherished and loved, now she guides us from  above, her energy will be here long after were gone, cause her wisdom was only matched by her quick wit and her magic mommy charm, she put up with alot from her daughter and her four sons, she was my mother, teacher, and best friend, all rolled into one, this hurt is to much to real, this is a pain that just wont heal, because my guardian angel God had to steal, I miss you mom and it won't go away, just wish for one more day, one more chance to hear you say, I love you son it will be okay, I'm lost and so alone, loosing myself as I sit out in front of your home, I know your never truly gone, your energy and memories will always live on, but it dosnt help to fade this pain, whenever I hear someone say your name, love and miss you mom to the very end, thank you for being my mom and my best friend.

Premium Member He Danced Irish Jigs

There was a quick wit who needed a gig
When his jokes fell flat, he danced Irish jigs
   But one night he was so drunk
   He kicked up a breeze that stunk
It seems 'quick-wit' zagged when he should have zigged

Premium Member Bugs Bunny For President

In past elections I’ve heard told
Voters adding an extra box and throwing old Bugs into the fold
How bad does it really have to be?
Could Bugs Bunny maybe help set us free?

Poor Elmer Fudd would definitely be of no assist
They took away his gun, no proper reach around and no kiss
Daffy Duck has also taken his leave and gone south
He was just no match for Bidens quick wit or Trumps loose mouth

But seriously folks I think we are all screwed
We’re damned if we don’t and damned if we do
Some say the Donald is a little bit touched
But what’s left of Joes faculties, not much

As we get closer to election day, reality will surely bend
Beware of fake news my friends and this apocalyptic end
I know who I’m voting for, me and my toot toot
Bugs Bunny for president, now wouldn’t that be a hoot


Premium Member Seventeen Tries To Ignore Fifteen

Energetic and enthusiastic 
She is fifteen 
Joy oozes out of her 

He is seventeen 
Set in his ways, 
Glued to his chair In a subliminal fog of nothingness 

Her quick wit and sudden movements 
Make him feel tired and depressed 
He does what he can to discourage her 

She cannot be dissuaded 
Her tittering laughter and positivity astounds him 
He does his best to not smile.

A Prat To Witness

I live by the mouth
quick wit is my bullet
the trigger no doubt
my impulses pull it

You could say on the hole
it does me no good 
but I haven’t control
would stop if I could

The day my mouth runs witless
I’ll stand a prat to witness




*hole - play on words, on the whole/ on my mouth hole

Banter

If they have to point out it is banter
cus you didn’t realise it as banter
As they left no clue it was banter
The simple fact is it’s not banter

Banter’s quick wit the sort with charm
not blunt brain dead comments which harm
banters apparent with its own alarm
you know to reply with words not arms

Some will insult you then say what it is
banter they say but the humour's a miss
the standard they bant to tells you just this
have they a brain or a head full of piss

One reason banter is something some hate
Many don’t get it run their lip like an ape
after an insult “it’s just banter mate”
pointing it out then banter it ain’t

Acting a prat is a different thing too
don’t justify actions stupid you do 
a prat you are and stupid are you
It’s not banter not close I tell you true

Banter only works against a near IQ
you can’t banter with someone much dumber than you
Banter is something the dumb do different
They are not canny or clever they’re just a blunt


Rhyme God

Enter the Everest that devastates 
as he never ever rests and demonstrates 
his quick wit picnic of traits that place 
with lickety split flicks on the page 
the tricks of a contortionist wrist that emits embers at pace 
as he commits and performs on the centre stage 
with the impact of a storm from the biblical age 
the act of an adorned prolific rampage. 
Irresistible talent abundantly apparent 
you thought you'd witnessed 
ability but until now you hadn't 
when the rest in the business 
appear to be unskilled 
and transparent 
as their best rhymes diminish 
right here to be unfulfilled 
and redundant 
thus divested of finesse 
while it's clear to see you're thrilled 
in this moment.

Who's There

Who whispers to me from behind my door?
If it's you my dear then please do talk talk.
I'll listen and think, I will pace this floor,
More steps, small steps, more steps to walk.

My mind is old, long gone is my quick wit, 
But my ear is true, I do tell you so.
I will listen and think, now I must sit,
Still straining to hear what I cannot know.

I’m nervous, I fidget, what must it be?
Relentless the scratch that tugs at my ear
What words might they be that hold onto me?
I try, I listen, who causes such fear?

Committed, destined to days like before,
Ever to listen behind my closed door.

Beauty with a touch of bliss.

Touching face in sacred space.

Sure impulse as glimpses grow.

Quick wit and fit fondles fest.

Deep touching visual high booms.

Ample rapture hurls my friend.

Those Hose

There was a girl in seventh grade
Who let the top show on her hose
I was just fascinated to see
I didn't even know I liked those!

About that time was when I heard
"Is that right Pat?", from my teacher
I tore away my gaze to see
I had become, the main feature!

Out of the corner of my eye
"Legs" moved, a new bearing to assume
Great! Why now when...."PAT IS THAT RIGHT?",
Boomed loudly across the big room!

All eyes on me I had to think quick
It felt like my face was on fire
"Yes?", I said, being with quick wit
Could my mouth, be any drier?

Amazingly, he just moved on
From "legs" I got a cold hard stare
It was a very long hour
Before I could get out of there!

Wilson the Artist

This poem is about an artist
Wilson is the name that he goes by
He draws from daily experience
His medium is life

The streets, the gallery where he exhibits
That my friend is Wilson's style
With his quick wit and compliments
He paints on his subjects...smiles

Wilson feels that strong artistic pull
To take the palate of life
Sweeping brush strokes of inspiration
In an effort to paint things right

Wilson is a true artist
One of a dying breed
Takes those whose path he crosses
And draws upon their needs

He

He was bleak and unpretentious as he mingled in the crowd...
But he walked with his shoulders squared and he always looked so proud.

He was beaten and wrinkled and thin by the blast of time...
But he had been on his own since he was nine.

His smile was contagious and his laughter was always loud...
But his quick wit made him proud.

Life had been hard, there is no denying that...
And he walked wit a cane and always wore an old baseball hat.

He shared his memories every now and then...
And every Wednesday he had lunch with all the old men.

He used to sit and rock when the day was warm...
And he used to stand in front of a mirror to work on his form.

He was old and gray...
And he died today.

Premium Member The Graduate

You've graduated with honors, you're over the hump,
with not many hoops left through which to jump.

You've left behind all that you hold dear
and stepped forward blind, but never fear.

We've set no traps for you to fall into.
We're harmless, benign, kindhearted and true.

We like your style, we love your quick wit,
but we're keeping track, we freely admit.

We're writing it all down for a future roast
and if ever we share, your name'll be toast.

But we promise you not to draw blood,
just want you to know, your name'll be mud.

Jacky Jack Satin

Jacky Jack Satin
a cute little chap
a complexion of red
on the face of a cat

When waking one day
he jumped out of bed
quite startled and frightend
his face was quite scared

He dreamed that his son
would fall from a log
and then end up drowning
in some muddy bog

now being a father 
of quick wit and strong
he determined to stop it
he'd stop what was wrong

Believing his dream
a predition of truth 
he build up a fortress
he'd protect his son's youth

He filled it with games
and plenty of toy's
but still as a building
a prison remains

His son hated living
trapped like a rat
climbed over the wall
ran off with the cat

You can not let fear
rule the days of your life
you'll end up both lonely
and broken with strife

Premium Member Laughter Herein

Loose cannon fires a sure salvo;
Aim for quick wit to spring wild jest;
Urge can fashion as pun demos;
Grip humour's fit in silly fest;
Hurl a new joy with banter mild;
Throw a joke there with metaphor;
Embrace fond ploy to roar most wild;
Reach a somewhere beyond before.
Hide your sad gloom in laughter's sway;
Emote and purge your tension fast;
Restore your room with happy stay;
Enjoy pure surge of wit that lasts;
Invite good cheer to settle here;
Numb your old fears as humour steers.
