Banks Poems

The UK has blood on its hands

Slavery solidified the UK's place in the world 
Earning recognition, power and control 
The foundation of its empire 
Built by slave labour

Stolen wealth sat in their banks
Invisible blood covers every coin and note
Hard earned black money
Given to the rich, white and upper class society
Spending our wealth
On buying more slaves
So they can sit and roll around

Premium MemberOn the Banks of Needle Brook

I would sit on the banks of needle brook
And dream of faraway lands 
To where I would go 
Nobody would know 
I would dance upon clouds 
And ride on the tails of comets 
I would swim in oceans deep
And ride on the backs of wild animals
I would swing on vines in deep jungles 
And skip

Rivers Jumps Our Banks

Households unhitch, clapperboard hulls creaking -
the sound of storm-lashed rigging, as washing lines
and telephone wires twist
netting loosening foundations.

Where we once believed roots gripped bedrock,
planks bob in the swell, chests and their drawers
billow and fill.

Bed-springs gape, cupboards
turn inside out, what surfaces
is the face-up exposure
of our everyday innards.

Even as mailboxes are torn away,
we refuse to believe that

Premium MemberYon Bonnie Banks

In yonder glen where thistles bloom,
'Midst heathered hills and meadows groom.
A lark ascends with lilting cheer,
Its song a ballad sweet and clear.

The haggis grazes on the brae,
As daylight wanes at close of day.
Auld tales of kin and bonnie lore,
Whispered by the river's shore.

By yon bonnie banks, auld and grand,
Lovers stroll, hand in hand.
Beneath the moon's

Premium MemberOn the Banks of the Potomac

We were accustomed to being in the military living in the
barracks, having inspections and following the rules.
Yet, at summer's zenith, my sweetheart and I and our two
friends left behind the Ft. Myer base in Arlington, Virginia,
to spend a Saturday night at Lady Bird Johnson Park. We
had such exhilarated feelings being in our early twenties.
Fireflies lit

Premium MemberRock-A-Bye Money

Rock-a-Bye money- dream you're on top-
please stay asleep till our worries stop.
Nest eggs are dwindling- balances fall;
lowering checking, savings, and all.

Rock-a-Bye money- values downswing;
much more is needed, we sadly sing.
Flying too fast from each saved-up nest;
try to sleep long and take a good rest.

Rock-a-Bye money, please don't you see
you're the support for all and for

Mimicking the Imbecile

A show supposed to be classic
But watchers' cheap applause did seek
The actors, no exception, sick:
Long the rude point in mind shall stick...

Why choose the slobbering walker
And mimic the labored talker:
On your clothes dripping saliva
As well taught by Trainer Silver 


Before a thousand eyes go limp
While a camera films: an imp;
Oh! I forgot: it's about cash
You

Broad Cove Banks Road

You have to know, my love.
Nothing comes close, my love,
To an East Coast kiss in the summer sun.
You have to know, my love.
We can go home, my love.
It is easily said and done when you feel outrun.

You're all I need.
Darling, share the load and see.
Walk Broad Cove Banks Road with me.

We are home on the

Premium MemberBanks of Loch Lomond

I long to traipse across lavender heathered hills
and look across the North Sea as a winter wind chills.
Again, to dwell in a cottage, nestled in a green glen
or traverse Scotland's burns, I yearn. Do ya ken?

Years ago I sat upon Loch Lomond's misty banks
and to the beautiful Highlands I offered my thanks
for rugged terrain, lowlands

Premium MemberPirouetting On Cloud Banks

Dancing in space
Waltzing in the universe
Pirouetting on cloud banks
Aah yes
Come with me
Let’s dance together

Ancient flute notes echo
Amidst starshine and lost memories
I feel you there beside me
Peeking around planets
Your eyes seeking me out

Our fibers entwined 
Through passion and loss
Our unspoken words
Spun like gold thread
Around our bleeding hearts

An inhale ~ a memory
Meeting you in the ocean
Immersing ourselves

Upon the Banks of the Canal

Upon the Banks of the Canal

I sit here sipping cider on the banks of the canal,
I watch you as you walk and talk at great lengths with your pal.
I feel you as you hold the hand of love that’s in your life,
I see the way your eyes light up when you look at your wife.

I

The last time, I looked at my checking account,
I saw a colossal bunch of zeroes, six figures,
With a zero in front of the other numbers;
I had zero interest credited to my account.
I started laughing, I started to count
The zeroes. I said to myself, let pretend
That I was B. Gates or Buffett, with all of their
