Arnold Poems - Poems about Arnold

Premium MemberFrom the Benedict Arnold Trial

"One if by land, two if by sea". 
That's what Paul Revere said to me.
But my memory's just no good, 
and sadly, I misunderstood. 
Anyway, Paul was just a spy,
and I like eating shepherd's pie.

Toxic Amalgamations Can Be Beautiful Too

They are too foggy,
Dreams, visions, etc.;
 I don’t know, I don’t remember, 
but o’ wait! 
Yes, a distinct memory.

I started remembering words
hoarse, dry words mixed
with the lemonade air.
 a conversation? 
The smell of heated leather
chains me to the patio
where the goddess sits.
I have lost faith in her,
no longer a goddess
but my birthmother.
The second person in

We Love the Nanny

Promise me. Not a word to anyone.
I think I'm in love with the nanny.
She's young and vibrant and dark.
I'm blooming in her midnight garden.
My wires spark. My heart's ignited.
Keep it secret. Not a word to anyone.

Premium MemberAnd My Arnold Spoke Up

You bought me as your loving pet; well trained and tamed,
From a cattle-fair; I was two; handsome; zestful;
You did not like cats and dogs as they turned nuisance - 
I heard you saying to my owner when questioned...

You, further, wished your pet to work for you with love,
Carry you safe, far and wide, as a

Terminator Terminates Trump - No 2 Sides To Bigotry Nesting Doll

There is a video the Terminator - Schwarzenegger - made
Republican Racism met its match in Trump's America
U must grab hope by its peaceful TAIL; this video will give heart!
My own despair: Canada cops kill First Nations women almost daily now!
Please share this video by Arnold. He writes a two minute speech for Hitler2

Scented Leaves

When bluebells drench'd with dews of summer eves*
open their eyes, she slips from my embrace,
frowns, looking at her watch, puts the long lace
black gartered stockings on and, scented, leaves
my dreams… I wonder why she never wears
a dress. It may take neighbors unawares.

The Arnold Red Honeysuckle
Written: By Miracle Man
9/19/2018

The spring of my life was like the scent of honeysuckle,
Each morning, zephyrs brought to my nostrils, its aroma.
But now, it’s dormant and my knees begin to buckle,
And I contemplate the bestowing of my life’s diploma.

Honeysuckle, to me, was a temporary sigh of pleasure, 
While God saw a heart

Hollie Arnold

Hollie was born with no right forearm, 
In Lincolnshire on June 26th in 1994, 
But now resides in Wales, Hengoed, 
To train at Cardiff Metropolitan Uni. 

The F46 javelin category suits her, 
And she discovered herself one day, 
At a Star Track Athletics sports course, 
During one summer holidays, short. 

She competed in Beijing and

Legacy of Arnold Palmer Limerick

Legacy of Arnold Palmer

What a great golfer he had been
At or below par hitting ball in
Always something about Arnold Palmer
You played more steady and were calmer
On day in heaven will see him again.

Eddie Arnold At Two Am

My fingertips are black now
From the picture in the obituary
It brings me back
To the day before thanksgiving
And I'm sorry that I wasn't there at the end

My cowardice runs deep enough
To hit my bones
This town isn't big enough
To hold all of my ghosts
So lets spend tonight
Singing along to warped 45's
My sins would kill you
If you were

Premium MemberArnold Schwarzenegger

Arnold Schwarzenegger
Was California's governator.
Should have stuck to acting
Political savvy was lacking.


Arnold Schwarzenegger
Muscle-bound terminator,
Cheated on his wife, Maria.
Waving good-bye, she said, "See-Ya".

Imagination's Fun (In "arnold" Form)

fancied structured writing 
inspiration well led
words prepare the flighting
of thoughts that are well bred
my long daydreams of us are not to misconstrue 

typing extracts the thought
fingers leading hope's page
using all I've been taught
builds words with endless age
only to lead me to a place where I'm with you

growing weary of form
getting close to the theme
visions abstract
