Touching American hearts
A patriotic sun rise

with patriotic glee
with patriotic
glee, for love of their country,
all Americans
emptied their accounts,
piggy banks and all, to help
pay their nation's debt

Blanket
Rifles rattle,
Armies battle
On the plain,
Getting glory,
Grief, or gory
Colored pain.
Conscripts giving
Up their living
For a patriotic bed
That is bag-shaped,
Shrouded, flag-draped:
Blue, white, red.

THE EYES
The windows of the mind,
In the eyes I find,
Written in them,
Is a poem,
Of sanity or insanity,
Of turbulence or tranquility,
Of uncanny mind;
Of patriotic pride,
Of gallant valour,
Of bashful amour,
Of beauty of the Youth,
Of resplendent Truth.

Vamp
Hiding a hint of melody
In the free-wheeling ramble
Of the piano’s opening phrases
It’s a pitter pat preview like
Kelly’s singing steps as he
Splashes through a street of rain
It’s a long drawn out unraveling
Of the tune on Ray Charles’ piano
Before he shouts out a bluesy version
Of our patriotic America the Beautiful

To Fight Aloud is Very Brave
Thunderous gray smoke of war
No greater courage I've found
Those who war within their heart
An army fills the ground
When defeat has little honor
Those who died are never known
with dying eyes no one regards
a patriotic tone
We drown in plumed marches
and here the angels we seek
Line after line of walking dead
with uniforms of defeat
Emily Dickinson

Barack Obama
I remain humbled and honored
proud and patriotic
emotional
to live in a time when my president
is recognized
for not only his intentions
but his deeds
as the Nobel Prize committee asks world leaders
to lend Barack Obama
their leadership and wisdom
in moving the world toward peace and negotiation.
Thank you God Amen
Continued Blessings for this great man, who has only just begun.

Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue
Toby Keith, there is so much we owe you
for your song “Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue”.
Your country band backed up your strong singing voice.
The sound you produced became a nation’s choice.
Since those twin towers in Manhattan were downed,
the might of the USA was motivated by your sound.
Every man, woman, and child felt patriotic
once they heard your song that was terrific.

Posturing for President
Passionate Pentecostal beauty professing her patriotic duty
Proudly portraying her Tea Party pride…
Posturing for president against democrats’ sour sentiments
Tour bus pressing on… giving the media a free ride
Peering out over the podium Palin fans in pandemonium
Delivering an uppercut punch to Obama’s left side!
Written for John Freeman’s-- Alliteration Contest-1st place

Folksy Aside
Black cloth sewn for them
Red and white silks for patriotic men
Tear and tear
So rare for a man in cloak and original stare
He shall get my pink handkercheif
He will be stared at in disbelief
He shall stroll in moss creeping boots
He shall breeze in shining purple brooches
He shall potter in magic cloack of roots
He shall stand in the crowd of the roaches
He is not you
He is not me
Still at sea
Waiting at the port of originality

The Price Of War
Their mangled and broken bodies
return home in flag draped caskets.
Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori
while a band plays patriotic
hymns for their services rendered
and a choir to give them a voice.
If I may be so bold to say
that I see no sweetness in death
nor the acclaimed gloriousness
that lyrical poets have penned.
what I see is sugarcoated
rationale for warmongering
dolts. I see no glory in that.
Mortem est pretium bellum.

Patriotic Deed
Stars shinning bright,
against the darkened midnight sky,
know that our prayers are with you,
and all hopes are flying high.
You went over there,
to protect our freedom over here,
when thinking of you,
our thoughts are sincere.
We watch things on t.v.,
they say you're no longer in danger,
yet knowing you're still there,
seems to build on the anger.
They say we have him,
right where we need,
just a little closer,
and we'll do our patriotic deed.
