Short Blurt Poems

Lying on hard dirt 

Unintentional loud blurt… 

pulsating nose hurt...

It’s the spurt of a wrong blurt,
It’s the curt that cuts to hurt,
It’s a mirth that not of worth....

My turn to go from you.
All my heart yearns
Is something everyday I earn.

Your turn to blurt to me.
All your mind sees
Is something life is as be....

The comments we like for dessert 
Are iambs that writers here blurt
But eating foul crunch
That slaughtered lambs munch
Tastes toxic like trumped-up bad dirt...

Blurt and Issue Did Skirt

Out many bad words had to blurt;
After finished feelings would hurt;
Orange hair blond,
He had to abscond;
So each issue he is sure to skirt.

and again
i catch myself
just in time

not wanting to blurt out
an 'I love you'
out of the blue

and sounding
silly as a school girl

Young trainee driver behind the wheel blurt out a helpless damn
Were starting down hill brakes are gone I'm afraid were in a jam
To the old trucker in the bunk what should I do
His reply your behind the wheel it's up to you
Straight up in the bunk old trucker sat when the drivers door went slam...

Bert was the head convent
An arrogant cocky little squirt
His belligerent feelings were often hurt
Because he was rude and often curt.

His wife was tidy, neat and pert.
Her talent was ironing his favorite blue shirt.
About them both we liked to blurt
For they were rather awful, Mert and Bert....

Breast machine squashed boobs, ouch it hurt ...
Expletives I tried not to blurt!
Next an ultra sound scan
Doc said you’re all clear Jan
For cancer you must stay alert


I got good news yesterday my 'lump' turned out to be scar tissue from my surgery in 2019:-)

Oh! A shilly-shally puzzle it is
an oracle's unfulfilled prophecy
a snarl of vagrant kind it is.
A riddle quite hazy to resolve.
May the impending morrows,
untangle this weird rune.
May the tale bearer blurt out
the augury of my future.
Can it be a mirth or gloom?
The all knowing superior deity
laughs at my uncanny anxiety....

Squeezed into her tight white pants;
still soft to touch I hope.
Her hair down straight but not that long
to make me want to grope.

Approaching her I say hello,
while careful not to flirt.
I only say I saw her once
as all I do to blurt.

I tell her it's a treat to meet;
to run into her then.
But then I'd go to cut it short
with hopes to meet again....

Love at first sight, I find
didn't work for me.
Maybe I'm a different kind.
Felt views were free
Did she?

No, I don't want to blame
for dreadful act.
I never expected the same.
Didn't assess tact
That's fact.

I thought you were the one
for me; got hurt;
realized nothing can be done.
Heard talks so curt,
your blurt.

Cast not to me the rose colored
          hearts poets blurt

      or thoughts of coolness
       from Appalachian falls

          or drinks that fog
              mine mind

        Just fastened hands
            bowed heads
              and maws
   to Jehovah God Almighty
                  call








*Uncle James will miss you Brandon !...

She chooses to drown her mind with music,
Instead of how she would down drinks until sick.
She chooses to go home to find some relief,
Instead of how she used to roam to escape all of her grief.

She chooses to swallow unspoken hurt,
Instead of throwing hollow words she could blurt.
She chooses to heal her own heart,
Instead of trying to change how others feel on her part....

I run to my next class with industrious speed, I have to make it before the bell

Damn it, my car broke down the day before the deadline, what the hell

I leap my body through the door, my scalp itches and my teeth hurts

The teacher sees my sweat face "Why did you run here an hour early?" So he blurt

Turns out I set my alarm clock back by accident, at least I'm not late, oh well.

On the first floor of a hotel in Cape Cod
A larger than average lady got on the elevator

She pressed floor number two
Immediately I blurted out “Number two???”
“You could have walked”

Her immediate response was
“What??? And lose a pound!”

My new wife first cringed
then breathed a big sigh of relief

Sometimes I blurt out stuff without thinking
VERY DANGEROUS!!!...

Unbridled bout of self-assertion blatant
turns you to a repelling babbling exuberant. 
Shutting of orifice floodgates you eschew,
forgetting everybody isn’t fool around you.

Torn to shards if you blurt bullsheet absurd,
do a volte-face eating your crappy words.
Try to not gulp them dry in stigmatic drouth*,
for a fly does not enter a closed mouth.

Staring at you through the glass
My friend
Has made me wonder will this love ever pass
When did this begin

You start to walk towards me 
I realize we both have that glimmer in our eyes
And it makes me want you more

Oh darling
Staring at you through this glass
I'm thinking about telling you how I feel
My lips make the movement
But no words come out of my mouth

I blurt out
I love you 
My friend
But I get no response...

When we open a gift
We have somehow acquired
The skills to pretend
It is something desired.

But it may take some time
And some patience to teach
Little kids that the truth
We must now and then breach.

Yet before that occurs
Children often will blurt
How they really do feel,
Though their statements may hurt.

With some guidance and practice,
They’ll earn by and by
That where gifts are concerned,
It’s much better to lie....

whom was the first to say,
that words do not hurt?
I do suppose that they
were really the first to blurt
    ugly vicious profanity
    to bring another down
    becoming slave to vanity
    they made another frown
just one single word
can cause a flood of tears
awful emotions stirred
causing a lifetime of fears
    each soul that God created
    has a unique and special beauty
    don't let your light be faded
    by ugly vicious profanity...

Don't worry about me 
sweetheart
I'm just playing my scripted 
part
Be not unforgiving or hurt
Let me live without your 
endless blurt.

For I walk no paved way to 
Bliss
I stand out seeming much to 
miss
Yet no less a man I'm than 
some
If what I am won't overcome
The pits of hell then so it be!
To hide behind religious zeal
A license to kill, rape and 
steal
Is cowardly deceit to me
I'd best boycott your 
heaven gate
And bravely face the 
dreaded fate....

Some say I don’t make sense,
But if you were to see the way I see,
The sky would be blue on the darkest of days,
And you could see a little more clear,
You could tell why I write things down,
You could put yourself in others shoes,
Think what it is like to be them,
Start and understand where,
Others are coming from,
Tell what it is like to be them,
And think before you judge,
Get to know before you blurt,
Listen and learn,
From others,
To others,
And just be yourself....
