Short Concussion Poems

A shiny pebble laying,
two buffoons nearby;
...a mild concussion....

last week he was sent to hospital with a concussion
had the prophecy come true?...

achy breaky brain

                             spinning on the spot

Hickory dickory dock
Three mice climbed Grandfather’s clock
Grandpa struck one…
The others could run
and
Clearing concussion protocol
Will compete again next Sunday

Lunged and Plunged

What we did have was a major discussion,
Regarding what would be the repercussion;
Danger was near;
Hope does disappear;
Are many things that can cause a concussion.

   In love with potential

A banana a day keeps the doctor away
You swing through the trees, no matter your weight
Well let me rephrase that
A sturdy tree that's fat
Else a nasty concussion and lacerations await...

Despite the anger, 
the truth will 
not speak.

     *

It was a concussion, 
after the fall.
A prophet had fainted-

     *

in midsentence.
A blue vase was broken
in the smell of roses.

Irreparable brain damage,
concussion,
you have a brain tumor:
end of discussion.

You translate silence
with morse code,
twitching finger,
blank picture frame
in the mind's eye,
but do you see 
or hear
or feel,
when we grasp your hand-

O, you the broken one,
you the motorcycle-flung....

My husband’s post-concussion work injury barely improved this past year. Dizziness and headaches still plague him. No solution have I found for my own rare conditions. My son nearly got divorced. My dear daughter got breast cancer and continues with treatments even now. May good outweigh the bad in '24....

My wish is you,
my concussion is you.
You are the beating of my heart
Mine is now alive.
But why not?
Even now my reality is you,
You just have to get me now.
I just have a dream,
That which is mine,
I am discomfort you.
My desire is you,
My request is you,
You are the hardness of my heart,
My every happiness is you....

Santa's not coming this year 
he was blinded by Rudolph 
trip down the stairs 
on his way down his suspenders snapped 
giving him a concussion 
right now Santa thinks he's Batman 
as he runs around the house 
with his red suit 
adjusted like a cape  
mrs.Claus annoyed 
by the thought of being called Robin 
is about to snap...

Living on a path of self destruction,
Hammers to the head make a concussion,
What's the point this discussion,
Relieve this pressure built up within,
Put on this mask so all emotions are hidden,
Thoughts turn into actions in disbelief,
Just one cut for instant relief,
Genius of this magnitude is hard to find,
Ironically wasting away a beautiful mind....

Playing football earned me a concussion
   Basketball tore the cartilage in my knee
Running cross-country sprained me my ankle
   While boxing knocked the sense out of me

Throwing a curveball ruined my elbow
   Swimming lap after lap did 'fix' my shoulder
My erratic golf swing left my back in a knot 
   And I've arthritis everywhere, now I've grown older...

Apparently I’m going blind 
don’t get the bigger picture 
suffering from tunnel vision
or perhaps a one track mind

I’m blaming the concussion 
got distracted on the job
Mistaking her for another 
led to facial reconstruction 

Seemingly with hindsight 
things appear so much better 
I’m so good looking now 
see them both every night.

Black diamond, fools gold,
overpriced and undersold.

Falling vices, rising prices,
and all the things that we are told.

Percussive concussion, concussive percussion,
endless discussion.
 
A round of applause for revealing your flaws,
your sin serves to feed them their spin.
If you had our fears, if we gave you our hopes,
we'd devour ourselves from within....

I finally found the missing piece to my puzzle
not a corner an edge nor a somewhere in the middle

there in my palm
swollen with sweat edges frayed clenched entrenched
in hand over fist after fist after fist

after fist 


It's all there
The Big picture all in one piece

Now to put myself back together again
long at last    

Peace

A silence unexpectedly arrived
And swiftly birds and animals withdrew
A darkness and a calm as if contrived
Emerged from what was once sunlight and blue
As sudden as the lightning that ensued
A thunderous concussion wrapped in rain
Draped everything in sight and with it blew
A wind the summer heat could not contain
Then faster than it left ... the sun returned again

Written July 4, 2018...

My Brain is on Fire
My Thoughts are blacken and cracked
My Soul is trapped in a mire 
My Body feels racked 

I am forever changed 
Am I forever lost?
 I am forever deranged
Am I knowing the true cost? 

Oh God, what is the plan 
Why could I have not been hit harder? 
Oh God, I do not know where it began 
Why could I not have been smarter 

I wish I could find peace 
Maybe just find some release?...

On a Sunday evening t'will be
After a sweet sermon from the priest
And my ageing buttocks glued to no wooden chair

Oh my lovely meal on the table
The last thing to graze my intestines
And some swigs of Hollandia Yoghurt

Then a leaning back 
Chanting in the Holy Spirit
And Closing my eyes to open no more.

No bullet driven through my heart
Neither a concussion from an accident
Respite of poison I would rather not...

This circle's a dead end
Now 
Repeat after me
I will follow your lead
Repeat for me 
Dead to the end
With sympathy
Don't mourn me
For I'm still here
Suffering
Like you endlessly 
I take a right turn
Turns out I'm wrong
What can you see
If not shadows of trees
Roots to the earth
Man's misery
Dead to all life
Though we are reborn
Hearts still beating
Concussion in thorns
Memories of light
While sat in a hole
Darkness painting
Masterpieces for all....
