Best Limbo Poems

Six steeple towers, cold as steel, drab daggers in the sky!	
Their hallowed halls no longer call when breezes wander by –
for, filled with dread to wake the dead, they've ceased to sough or sigh.

Coiled candle sticks! Their twisted wicks no longer 'lume the cracks
with dying...

Winter approached 

in hours of finality, 

quelled midst midnight's 

imperfectly lit enticement 

of darkly notable

impressive spirits, 

motioning a welcomed 

goodbye gesture, 

laying to rest 

a chilled salutation, 

as ghostly ambitions 

commenced to play 

a well articulated

empowering seduction, 

chasing lullaby's softly

dreamt enchantment, 

sleeping peaceably

unfurled beyond

destined reawakening,...

Searching, ever searching, for something . . . for anything at all,
I wander the desert alone.
Lost; I am so very lost.
Fond memories I’d been clinging to -
even they are fleeing (did they ever exist?) and I am left
as barren of hope as is this desert...

Encased in darkness
neither here there anywhere,
locked in misery
a reminder each day
the devil keeps his promise.

covid-19 deaths,
unemployment on the rise...
so is homelessness.

the pain very real
our ship of state is living...
a complete nightmare.

no relief in sight
not quite a happy new year...
lifeline held hostage.

lost in space
standing at 
the crossroads
between Heaven
in that of hell
i stand 
a lone fiddler
from the dust
of ashes 
one breathes

a towering
heart burning inferno
which got burned
scorched hell
drawing magic
in a memory bank
now opening
the curtains
etched on 
chamber walls

i play 
a sweet tune
as the embers
begin breathing
drums begin beating
like the phoenix

Laying in bed being aimless doesn't help 
I'm losing my mind in such a soothing way
Magically resetting
Bargaining on memory loss 
Overriding all for serenities pull...

Muffled mourning falls on deaf ears
that echo elegiac waves
from a transgressible past life.
Phantoms in an abstract limbo
where the living never enters.

Doctor, what is your prognosis?
I’m sad to say his futures grim
I doubt that he will last a day.
His reasoning is nearly gone
his hapless body skin...

So here I am -  Reincarnated
No more keeping up with Joneses
Free at last ! ... forgetting though:
They love to eat frog legs for dinner...



I was given a challenge to write a short poem by looking at a picture of a frog... :)...

The limbo dancer, he so slim!
I think I might just fancy him!
His back so supple, his skin like brass …
But best of all is his little round ass!

Aaahh … limbo dancer! Limbo dancer, limbo for me …
Aaahh … limbo dancer! Limbo dancer, limbo for me!

from The John Poems

I tumble from a dream
into the nightmare of waking.
I claw my way back toward sleep
but can find no purchase.

So just like that, you are gone,
And my half-healed wounds bleed anew
As reality steals you away and, with it
my happiness and the
wish that dreams...

LIMBO
trapped between life’s choices
it’s been that way
too long

frozen firmly in the middle
a nowhere place
so wrong

the rollercoaster races
it’s lows and highs
ebb strong

weighing up all  outcomes
consequences
prolong

promises lie unfulfilled
of pasture greener to
belong

what pulls us so to live in
‘home of free and land of brave’ ?
why resident ‘Green...

Trapped behind these bars
I grow anxious and continuously scheme
For a way to get out.
But this cage is extensive
And its door is a long ways out.

I try to squeeze through, but they constrict
And ultimately I fail.
I am strong but these bars won't bend.
Its useless and I...

After boxing day,
What are we going to do,
I look at you ,
And you look at me,
Simultaneously we 
Say, we have 6 days free	
We look a little lost we have
Not planned a holiday, I know
Let’s go to have breakfast
At the Mall
We bump into Fred, and Beth,...
