Tantrum Poems - Poems about Tantrum

Toddler Hulk

I’m thinking of a person 
Who is strong and resilient. 
Big in personality but size is small. 
When mad, they turn a green pigment. 
All is lost when anger worsens. 
Tantrums raging, escalating. 
Tired now, limbs in a sprawl. 
I’m talking about toddler phasing, 
A daily battle of exertion.

Temper Tantrum and Wanting Attention

Subject: Temper Tantrums

Give someone having a temper tantrum
an inch and they will take a mile's worth
of attention. You cannot kill the same 
dead horse twice or shoot a six shooter
a seventh time without reloading it.
Remember this. When you either
complain or condemn or criticize
an opponent you are doing the same
to their supporters and constituents,
family members, church

A Creature that will Have no Tantrum

Sometimes this creature looks at you.
Those eyes can be so piercing.
Or are they kind, sympathetic?
He or she is fur – and even that
is artificial stuff. But with eyes.

What were you thinking when
you gazed at him - or her -
in a shop window?
Whose eyeballs were created
with coloured plastic, glass or affection?

Where Is My Loud Tantrum

I fall into situations that I think are going to be awful
Some of them end up being my favorite situations 
This is one of them. I came into it kicking and screaming.
Yelling so loudly, that I busted both of my ear drums.

I wanted everyone to know this was not my idea.
Six days later, I realize

Tantrum

There it goes again,
off into a tantrum,
hurling blow upon blow
of breakers against the rocks,
tearing itself apart 
into a fitful foam 
of rage.
Come tomorrow,
or the next, it will calm down
to a gentle lapping
of the pier, flicking out
a watery tongue 
like a child
licking a poppsicle
as if nothing
had happened.

The Tantrum

Old man wind pulled back the ocean waters 
and funneled them into his watering can; 
sprinkled them across the state; 
over-watering every garden in sight.

A flood, six inches of water invaded my basement; 
a three inch wading hole in the street and 
a fortune in appliances and furniture was lost.  
Afterwards he painted a

Neptune Throws a Tantrum

 Enraged winter ocean
Mighty anger displayed
Neptune has lost control
Howling winds whip up waves
Fearful for sailors' souls.

 Enraged winter ocean
Turbulence ongoing
Neptune is clearly mad
Manic ocean tantrum
Watching in warm clothes clad.

 Enraged winter ocean
Boat battles angry sea
Fanatical Neptune
Rout under soulless sky
Storm rages at high noon.

 Enraged winter ocean
Unrelenting frenzy
Neptune's beyond the pale
Vortex of pure madness
Man is so

Poltergeist

Poltergeist was feeling frisky
New residents were in his house
Celebrating new home drinking whisky
His ghostly presence like silent mouse.

Happy pair were quietly fluted
Snoozing contentedly on comfy couch
Poltergeist decided to kick up rumpus
'twas definitely now haunted house.

Rage and ruin whirlwind temper
Calico cat cowers on the mat
Violent supernatural distemper
Enjoyed his hateful haunting spat.

Sleeping through ghostly tantrum
Quite unaware of

Black Tantrum

Something yond is sore to proveth,
judging those who is't disagreeth,
hurst nay hast peat swamp.

People breath their owneth blood,
Ulcers replaceth green air?

Benumbed lungs and panshard death,
city born city bred?

Tantrum

The wind is having a tantrum.
It whines and screams and
Howls around the house,
Tearing at the shingles,
Whacking the roof with branches,
Blowing porch chairs into a corner,
A loose cushion into a puddle
On the next block over.
It throws the recycle bin
Into the raspberry bushes 
So cans and bottles litter the yard.
It sends trash can covers
Skittering across the road
To

Tantrum

Tantrum

Pout?
Pouted?
Pouting?
To waste life…
To press others to your will, 
and shockingly, in the end, 
find they find less of you
agreeable.

Surprised?
Not very nice?
True. 
Would you rather I was gentler?
I could use gloves made of down, 
soft feathers at the tips,
and yet still, truth is always…
prickly, spiny, full of needles, 
and above all…
painful.

Carry a mirror if you need

Tantrum

He threw a tantrum 
Flung the cups and saucers 
On the floor 
Kicked the table 
Slammed the door, 
Finally the voice of reason 
Calmed him down,
A spoilt little brat 
With a mischievous frown.

Muses Tantrum

Screaming 
At me muse
Wails like a wild
Banshee throughout the night
Tantrum.
