Alexander Poems

The Ballad of Alexander Wood

Last night I dreamt of a roadside stop—
an ice cream truck near a rusted shop.
Its engine was spent, its music was low,
and something inside told me I should l go.

I stepped through the door because I could,
and met a man by the name of Alexander Wood.
He wore a bowtie and a crooked smile,
a paper hat,

That's Why Alexander was GREAT

       The King of Greece went on a blind date
       The lady thought he wasn’t so great

           So, he went back to his horse
         

Alexander Pushkin translations by Michael R Burch

Habit is Heaven's tame redress:
it tugs down the skirts of Happiness.
—Alexander Pushkin, translation by Michael R. Burch

Till, conquered by gusts of cold air,
as Winter approaches, I find,
on a branch that is otherwise bare,
trembling, a leaf left behind.
—Alexander Pushkin, translation by Michael R. Burch

Whom to love, to trust and treasure,
who won’t betray us in the end?
Whose

The Singer

In glittering lights, she steps on the stage,
Her voice soars high, yet echoes with despair,
The vibrant crowd but masks a heart’s great cage.  

She left her love, the warmth of their shared page,
To chase the dream, to breathe the fervent air,
In glittering lights, she steps on the stage.  

The songs of youth, sweet

The Ballad of Prince Alexander and Ramira

Sings the story at twilight 
When the moon is just rising, 
Sings a simple troubadour 
The short tale of life. 

How a fine boy, 
Born in a palace, 
A palace like crystal, 
Became a proud man.

* 
You were born on a bed of flowers, 
Beside you, your father the king, 
Your mother, the queen
And you,

Alexander buffalo can’t dance even for grass.
His imbecilic jitterbug keeps leaving many nimble organists perplexed
Quickstepping really scares the unprepared viewer
While Xander yells, ‘Zumba!’

Alexander Kielland

Alexander Kielland 

a Norwegian writer regarded as a fine author, if not the top drawer, but somewhere in the middle, one does not need to stretch up or bend low to read his work.
I read his books when sitting in the library, skiving as my teacher would have said
After seven years we, who didn't have

Discord and Peace

When conflicts raise its ugly head real soon, 
our nations won’t inevitably swoon;
a time that real détente and peace attune.	
Some people still record the slights most ever stored.
Thus escalate discord, their armies can’t be bored.	
But bearing painful past in mind, endowed
ensuing loss with angst, so many bowed 	
with hidden resentment and furrow browed.
In corners hide

Diogenes and Alexander

Diogenes, philosopher in Greece,
was said to be a dawdler. "Devil finds
some seedy work for idle hands, don´t fleece
our youth!" He saw the walls in people´s minds

who all declined his odd and frugal life.
He lived on bread and water, beans and fish,
without belongings, even without wife.
King Alexander promised a free wish:
