Tossed Poems - Poems about Tossed

We had been up, down and sideways with lonely nights and solitary days. We had seen total darkness dispensed from our fights. Our heads began believing our wrongs could not discover our rights so we departed from all shared disappointments and delights. For years we were not together and, seemingly, separated forever, but time...

"Watch out! This here is much worse than falling timber!" --quote by poet You flirt with risk one too many times. The pin is p u l l e d; it's now airborne. Oh boy, you've really overdone this one. You chose the wrong toy to play with; And this sword of Damocles blows BIG! Mama sure wasn't around to...

I had a dream that felt so real, Even awake, it felt surreal. Sitting in my comfy chair, Goosebumps rose as I sat there. Reality hit—I caught my breath— I almost tossed it out, a part of me to sudden death. Tossed aside, cast away, Taking life in stride, but losing my way. Hurt, angry, feeling empty, Overlooking life’s gifts—of which there are plenty. Just...

It was only bringing me pain. I did not value it as I should. So it was used and abused... Treated with such little respect. My mother was reverent with it. Touching each part with awe and glad tears. My father so protective of it. Worry sprouted anger, as potatoes sprout eyes, if it was harmed. Me? I didn't give it a...

They’re ugly and grown yellow after being used awhile, and rarely are they seen except for when I smile. I have a rare condition that makes my mouth grow wetter. I have to use one of these things just to feel a bit better. While at the movies one time, my thing I could not find. Searching in the darkness, I almost lost my mind. Three others...

I almost tossed it out, yet till preserved the flower vase, a gift from my sweet heart. Confused, whether some respect it deserved ! ...

Things sacredly sworn should last forever. Wedding rings aren't meant to be removed but love doesn't always end like a fairytale. This is a rendering of what was forsaken, in a painstaking tale that wounded my heart but all's well that ends well... after a sale. Vile words spewed from inebriated lips... daggers drenched with the stench of liquor. Upon my left hand,...

I always hated that wretched vase, Ugly and past it’s best. A bit like me if I’m honest. (That was my wife’s favourite jest) But she loved us both, especially the vase, Which her grandfather left when he died. And she was always his favourite, So the thing was displayed with pride. But when she passed, though feeling disloyal, I hid it out of...

Fall time is now here, I must fall clean with some cheer. Clothes to a woman's shelter they must go, helping those in need before the snow. The dresses, skirts and tops, are from many different shops. I even found a couple of hand bags, pretty as could be still wearing the tags. My son said, will these boxes be marked in red? Yes, I guess....

The day was long, her eyelashes longer batting them, only drove my lust stronger I was light on my feet, she’d light fingers I traversed hot coals, yet coldness lingers How cruel this night, corrupt and broken Rolex watch gone, one silk hose her token (I almost tossed it out), but couldn’t part that laddered stocking,...

I stood at the edge of the universe, cradling a heart wrapped in twinkling lights, an ornament for a tree that never adorned my sitting room. “What a quirky thing, this love,” I thought, as you strode in, a meteor in a suit, sprinkling stardust on my insecurities. “You’re a masterpiece, even in progress,” you said, while I toyed with tossing it all...

Six numbers on the screen I am sure they look familiar The birthdays of loved ones Chosen to make it simpler I look again and rub my eyes I'm sure there is no doubt But where is the ticket? Have i tossed it out? My husband coming home from work Is shocked to hear my news We've got the winning...

It isn’t yielding much result, I’m still living below the bread line, I don’t get a full night's sleep, I still haven’t gotten the desired reap. I come home after a hectic day, Behind a closed door is a gloomy ray, My kitchen gives me a cold comfort, Nothing there commiserates my labour. Not a star I see in you my father...

Here's a cautionary tale that must be told. Listen to me, be you young or old: after something has long been growing mold, don't ever say (this wisdom, I strongly tout), "I almost tossed it out".  Maybe, I should have tossed it from the fridge, but I only nudged it a little smidge (behind the eggs), and never crossed that bridge. I should have taken...
