Wreck Poems - Poems about Wreck

In the cold tub, at ten-thirty in the morning, I float like a wreck after a week of drinking and gambling, My body trembles, my mind is a dense fog, when suddenly the phone rings like a bell in an empty church. A young voice, a folk singer, tells me she has kicked out her boyfriend, his...

I've been replaced by a lap dog~at least it's cute, Its poppy brooch glows bright on its dainty neck. It yaps and leaps, and like me, its poops pollute, But could it endure a long and rugged trek? I’d wager it’d fail~a weary, broken wreck....

Eons ago pirate ship sailed oceans wild Old Jolly Rodger flew proudly in the wind It met its demise when crew were beguiled On merciless rocks it was pinned. These days just a pile of rotting timber Lead treasure chest is who knows where Crew long dead are spirits that whisper When they died did they utter a prayer? White bleached bone...

I have been missing your peck On my cheek, I put it on check I’m an emotional wreck, wreck And it’s barely July 2nd, 2024, gimme just a sec!

I come here often, stop, and from the river bank, watch the ribs of an old wreck break through the surface on an ebbing tide. After all this time it still seems to crave for breath, to air its last remains. Whatever past it has no longer resides in living memory but in a paragraph inked in a shipping registry sunk...

The cold water lapped At the dilapidated remains of the vessel. Echoes of laughter From so many summers past, Now a distant memory. As nature takes hold Returning the wood to the Earth. Strong winter winds blown specs Of soil to settle in cracks. As spring broke, seeds burst forth Finding a nest to settle and grow. New life...

Old Number 9 was heading down the line, All clickety clack on the railroad track. It was making time, looking so sublime, Wore a coat of black on its iron back. Going round the bend, moving at top end, The Engineer's eyes spied a big surprise. And that one detail was a missing rail, With a lack of ties, was the train's...

Too many listen and give in to domestic terrorism/ Home’s a wreck and terror’s risen for our children/ Most don’t inspect many carry on missing radicalism in their own colosseum/ No call to see ‘em no wall we’ll greet ‘em / I’ll sprawl and take any call to free them from whatever bad man/ From the tales we’re told as...

yesterday watched men try to ride in some graceful fashion a flying, spinning, gyrating, horned beast for eight seconds probably should feel sorry for the exploited beasts but none of them grimaced in pain and limped away cradling an injured limb however there was this weird, hornless, white as snow "thing" lurched out, fell back on the chute, reeled and tipped, almost falling, then...
