Zeugma Poems | Examples


Premium MemberA Day In the Shade--Zeugma

She stole a moment, and a book
to linger in the cool of trees 
where not a soul would think to look.
She stole a moment, and a book
and sat beside the flowing brook
where birds were cooing with the breeze.
She stole a moment and a book,
to linger in the cool of trees

With baited breath and hook she smiled,
and with her pole, she caught a trout
The blue sky darkened for awhile
With baited breath and hook she smiled
as raindrops sprinkled all about
With baited breath and hook she smiled
and with her pole she caught a trout

Unleashing joy, and then a fish
she let it go, and watched it swim
It swam away,  as was her wish
She let it go and watched it swim
Releasing it was just a whim,
unleashing joy, and then a fish.
She let it go, and watched it swim

Premium MemberTitanic Zeugma

The massive ship and hopes were lost
No lifeboats left for passengers
Their lips were blue, skin bit by frost
The massive ship and hopes were lost
Atlantic Ocean not yet crossed
The radar failed, no messengers
The massive ship and hopes were lost
No lifeboats left for passengers

ran the bath and fingers through my hair
I buttoned my blouse and my lip
no longer in love, no longer care
ran the bath and fingers through my hair
wanted to soak away hurt not talk and swear
needed to relax my heart and close the zip
ran the bath and fingers through my hair
I buttoned my blouse and my lip

Togetherness - Zeugma

She lost her heart and her ring,                         A- Zeugma 
He loved his wife and his wallet,                        B- Zeugma 
Dynamic dreams losing their zing,                     a
She lost her heart and her ring,                         A- Zeugma 
Joy of togetherness nothing else could bring,      a
Neither a canvas nor a painter's palette,             b
She lost her heart and her ring,                         A- Zeugma 
He loved his wife and the wallet !                       B- Zeugma

Zeugma

You made me wait for love and a cab ride. 
You refused to return keys and kisses. 
You left me broken hearted and outside. 
You made me wait for love and a cab ride. 
I felt cold tears as I cried and I died. 
Leaving me against my wants and wishes. 
You made me wait for love and a cab ride. 
You refused to return my keys and kisses.
