Alfalfa Poems | Examples

Outdated

I am not made for these modern times
Missouri mud runs through my veins
unspoiled country air flows through my lungs.
my roots are intertwined in the bedrock 
of culture, traditions and folklore 
of a pioneer Midwest

My heart beats with the rhythm
of wind through oak trees
the sway of golden wheat 
steady fall of summer rain 
on metal porch roofs

My voice is the sound 
of pickup trucks on gravel roads
tractors plowing through gumbo
hoot of owls from leaning red barns.
yip of foxes or the howl of coyotes from
across green pastures under full moon’s glow

trumpeting of roosters greeting the day
song of blue jays, cardinals, 
red wing blackbirds
caw of crows pecking through early snow
on harvested corn fields
beat of horse hooves
lazy bawling of cows 

My nostrils are filled 
with the smell of
wildflower meadows,
 fresh baled hay
alfalfa, soybeans, 
and apple blossoms

I am lightning bugs on summer’s eve
coon hounds asleep on sunlit porches
family picnics on red checkered tablecloths
horseshoes, freeze tag and kick the can

I am unlocked doors and open windows
rocking chairs and back porch swings
I am outdated

I would like to again

We climbed into the church, which hangs behind the village on the edge of a ravine/quarry and a meadow with frozen alfalfa.
It opens its mouth at us with every incoming twilight.
Door like when the Helper swaps part of the cheeks and stretches the cheeks to the eyes, grin from Codex Gigas.
We admire the naked little girls and the drooping pygmies of the statues hidden in the drawer of the table left in the sacristy.

Deer Serve,
I recently saw Saddles teaks
 at the Market. Noun I think
 these things were wrong with it.
Aint have no Wiffyoursista  or

And Broth or. I tell ya: ya'll no
better than that! And why those
heifers protesting the usage of
leather
in coats when it's cold. Y'all no better
that that. A long horn Steer!
A beliguim Blue
New York strips
and the Jersey's does too!
And where is the Cow
Palace. Do they serve steaks there?
Bife or beef.
Stable, down pasture there.
He aint noFlank, you think he's
a flank. Moo this man! Moo this!
Alage green, Change water.

Dreamers and Poets

Close your eyes my friend and you might once again 
hear our laughter clinging to the breeze that moves through the open windows of childhood memories. 
Take a deep breath and smell the sweet scent of alfalfa dancing down Fourth Street at dusk, the apple blossoms of spring, or the rich earthy scent of freshly turned black gumbo soil. 
See the soft blue flicker of streetlights as they spark life into our childhood imaginations and cultivate our inspirations. 
Let your soul drift back to the innocence that is your birthright. Leave behind the boundaries of rich vs poor, political righteousness, or religious preference. 
We once were those children of that twilight, the unburdened guardians of summer; we were the future springing to life at that moment. 

We are poets that have dared to
Dream

Critterature: Beware Old Demon Rum

Here's the haughty elephant,
Won't eat food that's wrapped in cellophant.*
A catered meal is okay,
Like alfalfa or hay,
But most everything else is irrelevant.
The best of them try to abstain
From spirits like rum or champagne,
Which won't give them rabies,
But might lead to babies
Or ailments like gout and colitis.
Or, with this admonition,
A rare skin condition,
Some vets have called pachydermatitis.

*Thank you, Cowardly Lion, from "The Wizard of Oz"

A Buck Dreams of Tasty Spring Treats

Oh, for the taste of a sweet, juicy berry,
some sweet rose petals would make me happy;
I'm so tired of woody browse and acorns,
my throat gets dry and my teeth are worn.
For an aging buck needs good sustenance;
I hate the browse cracking, such dissonance!

I long for tree buds, tender grass and shoots;
I'd kiss a squirrel for some acorns or fruits.
I love buckeye, chestnuts, pecans and raspberry;
some strawberries, blueberries and blackberries.
To run through the fields seeking a spouse
and revel in the colors of those lovely grouse.

An apple or two, perhaps some paw-paws,
fresh almonds are tasty to chomp in my jaws.
Sweet herbs like lemon grass, sage and chicory,
dandelions, alfalfa, plantain and hickory.
I yearn for those tasty pleasures of Spring,
my mate and I will enjoy everything!

Nectar

Nectar 
David J Walker


The blessing of an
Early morning rain granted
Its reprieve from 
Alfalfa fields 
Its yields must wait 
Until the ground dries 

Meanwhile
	The bees get 
One more chance at the
Nectar of the flowers

Television's Funster's 
Two of my favorites 
The Addams Family and the Munster's 

The Honeymooner's- with Ralph and Ed 
Their still on late at night 
Fun to watch- 'fore we go to bed 

The Odd Couple- a comedy treat 
It is certainly odd 
Oscar so messy, Felix so neat 

Fred, Barney and Dino the dinosaur 
Got to love the Flintstone's 
I must have watched them a thousand times...or more 

The Little Rascals- all of the gang 
Spanky, Buckwheat, Darla... 
Oh, and how Alfalfa Sang  

When it comes to smartness- Abbott was the worst 
Costello was the genius... 
He wrote- "Who's on first"  

The smartest man to play his part 
Obviously, it has to be Don Adams 
He was "Maxwell Smart"  

The funniest lady of them all 
The one that I love 
I Love Lucy's- Lucille Ball

Cheese Please

C heddar cheese I eat with ease;
H alf of the time, I want cheese spreads,
E ating on rye’s great with mayo and alfalfa.

S avoring cheese, I just crave it all,
E ach bite of cheese is like a giant gum drop.

A nd don’t forget savory and imported too;
S uch sumptuous delicacies I do not want to miss
E veryone, let’s eat cheese!

A Greek Adonis

Okay my friends now let's just see
Do I have any weaknesses of my own?
Nope, after careful investigation
I find I'm really perfect to the bone

I'm a doggone stunning specimen
Of a *****sapiens supreme
With bulging muscles everywhere
My tummy is tight and lean

So muscle bound, can't even bend
To tie my oversized shoes
Haven't seen some body parts
Since nineteen sixty-two

What's my secret you may ask
To my Greek Adonis form?
I chew on nuts and alfalfa grass
Celery and cobs of corn

Not your cup of tea you say?
So keep up your over stuffed ways
Like the very famous Goodyear Blimp
You'll be drifting away in the haze!
