#accident poems on Hello Poetry

Randy Johnson Jul 22

He was 54 years old but that was still too young to go.
He starred as Theodore Huxtable on 'The Cosby Show'.
He was asphyxiated and he drowned.
It's sad because he's no longer around.
He was a very talented man and that's certainly true.
He starred on 'The Cosby Show' from 1984 until 1992.
Malcolm had skill and charisma and it definitely showed.
When he starred in 'Listen Up', he starred in all 22 episodes.
People are sad because he's no longer here.
Sadly, he lost his life after living for 54 years.

Dedicated to Malcolm-Jamal Warner (1970-2025) who died on July 20, 2025

[ A man falls over ]

A man falls over,

luckily I can't see more --

There are bystanders.

Accidental

I have never loved someone
on accident
but sometimes it feels like
people love me
on accident

The 30th Anniversary Of Christopher Reeve's Accident

Thirty years ago today, millions of people were surprised.
Christopher Reeve fell off a horse and he was paralyzed.
Reeve's accident occurred on May the 27th of 1995.
The accident didn't **** him, he was able to survive.
He survived for nine years and he spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
Life was once great for Christopher but his life became so unfair.
When he had his accident, he was paralyzed from the neck down.
When he died, I felt sad because he would no longer be around.
Even though Reeve got hurt, he didn't give up, he went on with his life.
We had to say goodbye to him and we had to say goodbye to his wife.
People were devastated when his life came to an end.
Christopher wasn't just an actor, he was also a friend.

Dedicated to Christopher Reeve (1952-2004) who died on October 10, 2004

And Action!

This limited control
takes it tow
as we survey these paths
of all we know.

Circumstantial accidents
did you catch the subtle hint?

Did your thinking
leave you sinking
in a states of hell?
Smoking and drinking
old habits creeping
around the wishing well
…
This karmic wheel
is going to hold us fast,
if that’s the way
we’re going to act..

Meeting By Accident

When I met you by accident
I thought rather little
Of that singular queer event
Gifted by fate so fickle;
Or what it could be

I gave no second thought
When you asked me to follow
I thought where I was brought
Mattered not for someone as hollow;
As someone like me

When the first pang of the heart flowered
I would agonize over the secret for hours
It had almost left my soul devored
By the fear of friendships soured;
Had my heart been set free

When it first felt you could really see me
Even amidst the uncertainty, and pain
It filled me with an uncontrollable glee
To lay my heart to you, plain;
Furthered by your acceptance of me

I cant erase your pain
But if i can be of comfort
After all of this heavy rain
Then I will give every effort;
Because your laugh, it gives me life, see?

We're Going to Crash Again

I see it coming
We're going to crash again

It's going to happen

Something

Bad

Is

Going

To

Happen

They're going to be hit by a car
That house is going to come crashing down

I see it
I see it all

I see it
It's coming

We're going to crash again

I'm ******* terrified

I can't live how I used to before

I can't go on my phone anymore

I have to watch
I have to pay attention

We're going to crash again

Life isn't how it was before

And no one will understand

I know I haven't posted in a while, I've been busy. This poem is about how I feel after my car crash, this car crash happened recently, March 5th 2025, there was a bad snowstorm where I live and school wasn't canceled even though practically all other schools were. The other woman who was driving couldn't stop and slid into the rear passenger door (where I was sitting), ever since then I can't stop seeing the car about to crash whenever we're in a roundabout or we get close to other cars, and sometimes I even see accidents happen that aren't even related to the accident, it's like I just keep having visions of accidents happening whenever I see something that could result in an accident, these accidents usually never actually happen, but it makes it hard to continue regular life while riding in the car.

Strange Memories

I'm an anterograde amnesiac per se,
But I remember what you did say.
