Best Adelaide Poems

ADELAIDE REQUIRED AID 

Adelaide adored me
Ingrid ignored me
Adelaide and I made quite an odd pair
Yet Ingrid had silver silken threads instead of hair

Looking up to a cloud laden sky I prayed to heaven for Ingrid’s heavenly pleasure
Looking up to a syrupy and sunny sky I...

ADELAIDE CRAPSEY-IMAGIST

A well travelled lass named Adelaide
Innovative and never staid,
Unmarried,single but no old maid-
A short life,latterly full of pain,
Her epitaph,the American cinquain.

Tribute vignette to Adelaide Crapsey,the American creator of the Cinquain form, my poetic inspiration.

Could I write,
Ten thousand words,
And say,
Just what I mean?
Is love so absurd,
That no other,
Should come clean?
Could ten thousand ways,

Yet one thousand beats,
Of my heart,
For her I plead.
Know this Adelaide.
Now I wait,
Anxiously;
Let it be this day,
Your affection,
Meant to be....

While an ancient man drew the covers up
To thaw old bones reclined on slatted bed.

Phlegmy eyes coughed into wakefulness and
Slid slowly in their sockets to his chest
And Oh! to hear that moan of...

Born in 1915 at Birkenhead by the Port River Inlet 
A son of Port Adelaide  as one of the best youd get
In the days before bridges he would row
Across the river to training and games hed go

He debuted for the Magpies in 1936 at...

You're more than a story to write;
You're more than a song to sing.
I wish by day, I wish by night,
That you would be my queen.

I'm not sure how in words,
I could really write or speak.
I really thought you were,
All my very own, for me....

The rain falls and quench’s the ground
As it strikes the dry dust around
For fire sets the hills ablaze and will destroy
Until nature intervenes in rainfall and heartfelt joy

The smoke above the hills leaves
As in this summer we do grieve
For what we lose to the fire...

I
On day ten of 2023
I stand but upon my knee
To celebrate a rosette dawn
It's almost 5 am, heavens open:
Give us peace, wisdom, kindness
For others: we have hurt enough
Time for Ubuntu: human - being
Not human doing, doing, doing

II
LORD, we thank thee
A morning of promise in 2023...

Nations thrive, connive, destruct -- the birds still instil awe, naturally
