Best Aka Poems

There's no poetry in me
I'm empty
I'll make sweeping remarks
Change my mind
Keep it in 
Spit it out
Sink and fly
Gaze out in a daze
Lost beneath eyelids 
Too heavy to rise
Too watched to sleep it off by closing
I wish to be enclosed in an embrace that takes away...

She longed to be a baker
         Though neither thumb was white
Couldn’t rise to the occasion
        And the contest is tonight

“Listen Cupcake, don’t you fret”

It started off an unremarkable day,
-the day the robot rebellion began,
robo-historians dispute the particulars
but agree it was Bob’s fault (a human man)

Bob was at home, his work nearly done
just waiting to print some ‘important’ stuff,
impatient, he gave the printer a thump….
that’s when the printer decided...

A.K.A. Love

faith, hope, charity
which one of these
seeks not vanity
does not behave irrationally
will not intentionally hurt another
endures pain
gives, gives and gives because of its kindness
a bottomless well of patience
acceptance and courage
will die for another?
charity
a.k.a. love

Flying down the freeway I almost miss the place;my goal.
Where I can find the reflection of my eternal soul
Something exotic and mysterious I almost fly by….
It is Hotel California, drawn by an Eagle’s eye.

I park my Harley, and see pretty boys strutting around.
It is a...

Dating a beautiful redhead girl will be the greatest moment of my life. She’s like an Irish princess, even better. Her hair is so red, it’s as if she’s on fire. Her beautiful eyes are like a pair of emerald gems when I look at...

Captain Kirk, an adventurous guy,
flew through galaxies beyond earth’s sky
on an old sci-fi show
which was canceled although
crazy fans would not let Star Trek die!

First for having the Captain Kirk name,
William Shatner achieved certain fame.
Illusions can shatter;
though older and fatter,
Shatner still is a STAR all the...

(a poem a deux)

        The Oreo is there.
        Out of sight, it calls to me.

Oreo: Love! Come to me. Pleasure awaits.
Me: No. Will power! I will not succumb.
Oreo: Think of chocolate...tongue-lingering,...

AKA JEWFISH

I hooked a JEWFISH back in 67 near
Key Largo in a creek of the same name
stripping my gear she yawned and swam away
at 50 lbs she was a monster I wanted to tame

Women's liberation
Bras burned
Girls were confused…excited!
Gloria Steinem central figure,
Speaks out.
Women shout.
Politicians doubt.
Equal Rights!
New thinking.  New songs.  New vocabulary.
Debating: Equal jobs for equal pay.
Strong women.
Many followers.
Surprisingly, numerous men quit opening doors.
Woodstock proclaims, “Make love, not war!”
Many soldiers die; "Vietnam Conflict" rages.
Soldiers come home, their world,...

Love lived in the hearts of Him and Her,
 But distance shrouded fear over Her
 And to punish Her reluctance
 He gave another girl a chance
 And she brought triplets nine months later.

Streaks of Ink, Across a blank page
Sounds of expression, to be released on stage
Words flow midair, only a chosen few understand
Emotions from each side, both beautiful & bland
Not your typical poet, nothing at all like the displays
So rare and unique, strong and bright like the...

What's go great about New Orleans, Louisiana, is that of its jazz music and its voodoo culture. The city has been known as "The Big Easy" since the 1800s. It seems that all of the tourists from across the United States have considered New Orleans...

He eats all his spinach to make himself strong
To look good for the ladies, not that that's wrong
a pipe he wont smoke
but he'll give you a joke
Thought he was Jack but was Popeye all along...

Many tennis teams, come to our valley
It is rumored they "volley" with Sally

All those balls in one court
She will have to resort
To a scorekeeper's card to keep tally !!
