Advertise Poems

Real Talk

WTF, I know I didn’t just see what I thought I saw
This old dude slammed on breaks to talk to a little girl
That could probably be his daughter, better yet his granddaughter
Look at her with her little itty, bitsy,...Read More

There’s one thing that bonds animal to man,
That unites the wild with the caged,
Those captivated within bondage and those roaming free; disengaged.
At a first wandering gaze or slinking inquisitive eye,
One may be misled in the assumption that this feature perhaps...Read More

As August approaches its end
It’s harder for us to pretend
That the summer’s still here
For it seems pretty clear
That to autumn our thoughts do transcend.

All the stores and the sites advertise
Sales on clothes and, of course, school supplies.
Camps have shuttered their...Read More

Drifting memories of dreams of contributing good works to the benefit's of humanity & the world. In transition from youth to adult hood the closet of forgotten good deeds opens it's doors to more inventory to be stored. As the...Read More

I posted my hair on instagram.
Not the actual hair but a bad photo of it.
It got three million hits in two days.
So now I am an Internet sensation?

I cannot walk down the street without
giving autographs.  Someone pulled a lock
of...Read More

If you're friend reading verse, who leaves comments at times,
Please don't think you're not valued if I don't respond
Right away (you're a poet) with praise for your rhymes,
Or at all, though you're dear, even here in this pond
Where strange folk...Read More

How confused a man is
In this divided world
Religion, politics and science
That has preached us all
 
Conflicts and ideologies
Everything has taken its toll
Some dead by bodies
Many dead by soul
 
Liberals only have opinions
They can’t pick a side
Follow the mob
And advertise with...Read More

This fool doth not consider himself wise,
writing paltry poetry difficult
to read and/or actualize
methinks perusers of great literature
snub nose how I miserably advertise,

laughable attempt to aerobicise
fifty plus shades of gray matter
lobbying showy words agonize
zing effort perhaps best to cauterize
near petrified glob...Read More

Almighty God* I adore
Author of faith, approved by Your atonement
Accept my acknowledgment and admiration of Your anointing.

Awed by and adorned with Your advice
Abiding am I in Your avouching assurance 
Apprehended against abominations, arrayed with holiness’ attire.

Away from adversary’s affliction
Alertly, I...Read More

River Findings

The Ohio winds around hills
and streams down the hollows
passes steel mills, brick yards and scrap yards.
It carries tug boats, pushes barges, and hauls
black coal stripped from the mountainsides. 

The Ohio’s littered banks 
are home to train yards 
filled with...Read More

The same cross you nail someone else's sin to; will be the same one used to advertise you. 

The day gold became more important than bartering; was a time the world had been bought, and short-changed. 

The time the world...Read More

Not everyone starts a small business,
But 'Yelp's' it these days and there's only one way
One can advertise friend, but abuse is 'Yelp's' end-
Game, consumers too trapped in this fray!

The problem is 'Yelp's' business model,
No doubt their computer reviews all reviews,
And...Read More

Damn
Doing good
Shouldn’t I 
Get paid
To advertise

Will Surmise Than Realize

What we do know and will surmise,
Each day are sure  to really realize,
Idea great;
Cannot wait;
Only best should always advertise.

Consonant Like A Vow (el)

Now ma nada twirly (to early) twittering 
condolences to the esprit de corps, qua 
(just recently) late John McCain, and his 
surviving family suddenly damning original 
way word odd did see, whence (mere 
moments ago) shore...Read More

I don’t get this – please explain:
The sign did advertise
That cold-brew coffee costs a buck,
No matter what the size.

Iced coffee sounded good to me
So I proceeded in,
Where cups were stacked there waiting
For the filling to begin.

I asked the clerk which...Read More

It was not yet noon
when Ben said
a host of lovely things.
As far as we know,
no one accused him
of being publisher shy,
or sleeping in.

Ben said,
Early to bed
Early to rise
Makes a man,
and perhaps women and children more especially too,
Healthy
Wealthy
and Wise.

Ben did not...Read More

The modest businessman 

There was a man who opened up an elegant shop
selling beautiful Italian shoes but few people came.
Why don`t people come to my shop, 
Did he ask?
You have to advertise your shop in the papers or
print leaflets and...Read More

Someone recommends a book;
I put it on “Reserve.”
The list is often long enough
To actually unnerve.

Of course, I’m reading while I wait – 
A novel from the shelves,
For some just seem to call my name
To advertise themselves.

So I am in the...Read More

The bride created her bouquet
With seeming just-picked flowers,
The pretty kind that benefitted
From a day of showers.

Her perfect simple long white gown
Fulfilled part of its mission – 
To highlight those sweet blossoms
In accordance with tradition.

But this bouquet was different
Since a secret...Read More

Why must my son constantly test his mom and me
Can't he see all the trust he loses
In our ability to foresee what his future could be
When he has no problem looking us in the eyes
To tell his despicable lies
When it...Read More

Just one look


You’re a luminescent light in a dark grey world.
No bling necessary; it pales into insignificance next to your beauty.
Metal on hand, that piece does not suit you.
A classic band of gold I think you would suit.  You...Read More

Too many yesterdays
Used up and thrown away
Like Christmas trees on New Years Day
It's getting hard to know 
Which way the wind will blow
Must be more than dying slow

Here in a dead end town
I don't let it get me down
Something good...Read More

Do you feel you have done enough?
Or has it it always been never
Things never came when asked
What are we asking of after…?

Life is where you live
Where you choose to belong is to become
Life is if you’ll believe
To work a life...Read More

Are you able to face the world?
Knowing you belong to the human race
Are we not doing what we are untold?
With our ever changing dream to chase

I question myself everyday
As simple as “Why am I here?“
While everyone is finding their life...Read More
