Best Alan Poems

Hi! I'm Alan
  the astrologer
I used to be 
  a mythologer

Here's the forecast
  for tonight
I'm sure you'll see
  I've got it right

The stars are green
  The moon is pink
The North Star is
  on the blink

Venus is 
  out...

Alan Mathison Turing
This ‘enigmatic’ man was so alluring
Chemically castrated for being gay
His alternative was a lifelong prison stay

He portrays some deep dark evil characters
But I only have to hear his voice and I simply melt

Drooooooooooooooooooool
With those dark brown eyes
Ohhhhhhhh I’m in heavennnnnnnnnnnn

A cherry tree had grown next to an
apple tree! 
And underneath them a boy had met

One day to a big ranch rode Alan
a wearin’ his hat, a ten-gallon.
With his horse and his rope
he had plenty of hope
he’d excel in the job of corralin’.

They never understood him,
But in him burned a spark.
Peculiar, a genius
A man who'd leave his mark.

And leave his mark he did,
His mind an unknown road.
What he saw they couldn't,
He broke the nazi code.

No plaudits though for him,
Invisible was he.
His role, it was top secret
But led...

We have a new poet,
here on the Soup, 
and I am thankful,
his choice was this group.

He writes from his heart,
his feelings exposed,
by his life experiences,
and others so close.

Welcome Alan,
from me to you,
hope you have fun,
on PoetrySoup....

Alan is the boy,
who lives in my dreams,
a handsome young lad,
yet has a lot of sins.

Alan was the boy,
who always lie,
about his identity
his thoughts
and his life.

He always hide
yet always peeking.
Always nice,
but never happy.

But one day he revealed everything
a lie before
was now considered truth.
A truth that...

I understand, if not for you, I would not know the sad news,
I know you are a brilliant person, working at a young age,
In sales in Flea Markets, and such,
I just want to let you know,
Your brother was proud of you,
And of that you should...

He proved, with a skill irrefutable,
Some functions to be uncomputable.
   His run sadly halted
   When magistrates faulted
His code-breaking love as unsuitable.

on the outskirts of town
between the county jail
and the cemetery
lies my home
Edgar Alan Poe
could live next door
but I don't know
I never see my neighbors

what I can't ignore 
is the parade of pedestrians
on their walk of shame
from their "great stone mamma"
two miles 
up the highway
my house...

Dear Poet Soup..
A request, dare I ask,
Could you withdraw
Mysterious mask?

As if in Oz 
I feel I am
But hope your wizardry
No sham

For I request 
A feature fair
To pin a poem
In the air..

High up above
As if balloon..
(your coding skills
to make us swoon)

My favourite write
The 'child' of mine
