Allen Poems

alley cat of Allen town

ebony like a puma, velvet pretty
she prowls and growls and moans in her sleep
like a little black dress, fashionably chic and insightful
there is purring now, her dreams might have shifted
the toms in the alley remain in hiding, fearful
she can be such a tease, and sometimes a torment
her scratches are serious; she is not afraid to

The Raven: A Date with Death

The Raven: A Date with Death

I danced a date
a date with Death. 
He sat me down for tea. 
In the darkness sat the swirl 
of infinity. 

The ringlets 'round his brow
did stain the spirits evermore. 
'Where do you hail?' he asked in disdain. 
'I come from nowhere, yet anywhere, and I'll
go there all again.'

The Woke Raven with apologies to Edgar Allen Poe

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I tapped my keyboard, my eyes bleary
As I tried to write a novel that was no bore
I looked for inspiration, how to avoid clichés temptation
I’d write about rejuvenation—hope for the lonely lass Lenore—
An epic tale of a maiden born anew named Lenore—
A blockbuster for evermore.

Open here I flung the

Edgar Allen Poe

19th century writer, Edgar Allen Poe -
Romance and the macabre to his readers he would show.
Those who study literature likely know the poem “Lenore”
and that famous line of his: Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”

Dick Allen

With one mighty swing of your forty-two ounce bat,
out of the ballpark was where the baseball was at.
A great player blessed with athletic prowess,
you made the ball travel like a nonstop express.
You were Wampum, Pennsylvania's native son.
As far as sports was concerned, you could not be outdone.
One of the Major League's feared sluggers you would

Verda Lee Allen

My first girlfriend was Verda Lee (who I still miss),
feels OK, though I'm sad now, we never did kiss,
her folks left town, no notice, could not stay in touch!
Both too young to write letters, and time's not a crutch
that the aging find easy to use without standing!

Our poem flowed easy, its tone not demanding!
I'm Roy;

The Irrepressible Gracie Allen

Find here a tribute to one of the cleverest gals
To ever grace a show biz locale

   She mused that parties 'stand' for a platform
   For which voters 'fall' by the swarm

Letter To Braxton and Preston Allen

Dear Sons, 
Listen. Your mother and I love you. I helped plant you both through seeds of love. Your mother carried you, nurtured you inside of her body. But, You were made in His image. Beautiful and ingenious- you were shaped in it. So if adults in your lives fail to remind you with our

Dare We Bring Poe, Raven From Darken Grave
Renewed Poets Tribute Series
Second poet, Edgar Allen Poe

Hating blade yet they are so quick to cut
in glee at dark spilled blood, yet lack the guts
walking forth with halo's, prayers said in haste
may find dark verse is neither bad, nor waste.

Remove harden anger, pie from black eyes
Life may be

A Voice Speaks From the Dark and Lonely Tomb Dedicated To Memory of Edgar Allen Poe

A Voice Speaks From Its Dark And Lonely Tomb
  (Dedicated To Memory Of Edgar Allen Poe) 
 
Soon this form will waste away
Underground in dying dark,-
I can not see break of day,
Tomb here so cold, its depths stark.
Sleep, its time dragging along
Above, sun brightens sweet hours,
Here silence is ruling song-
There are no high, gold

Happy Birthday- Brother Joseph Allen Lee

  "Birthed some 65 years ago
Born when retardation was a common fear-feared
captured gathered up like lost sheep or cattle
some medicated some placed in confinement
kept in the dark, people squawked at a lot",

Mr. George Burns
In a movie played 'God'
  Hilarious, comedic head
  On such a laughable bod...

His wife Gracie
Acted totally spacy
  Her humor dazzling

In a Dark Room With Edgar Allen Poe

I am in a dark room 
with Edgar Allen Poe,
there is a blank wall
turned into a movie screen,
showing his life story,
a struggle of his life without glory.

Living life as a writer with a lonely pen,
hiking up a strenuous and bumpy trail,
macabre poetry and short stories written,
fell upon few and most with blind eyes, 
as a

Greek George Allen

1828-1913

Seegh no mee.

Ah, I see we have not been introduced.

Please, if you will, call me George, George Allen.

In life, I was a greek from Smyrna,

Hired by the United States Army,

Long ago when Buchanan was president,

Employed because of my tenacious skill,

Riding atop a grunting dromedary,

Riding and gliding over the great American landscape,

Bringing the supplies

To Mother Allen

To Mother Allen, the structure we’ve built,
That lift up our people high in the sky
Giving God glory and all of the praise,
As we design our minds full of knowledge.
Let our hearts be filled with love as we pass
Our knowledge to the next generation,
No, not tainted, but yet educated.
That is my vision to the young people
