Best Antelope Poems

Where the antelope used to play is now shopping malls and plats.
Man in his insatiable greed has encroached upon its ancient habitats.
Not so very long ago on the plains just a few miles out of town,
Were herds of these graceful creatures that now have dwindled...

Amazingly, Alice assaulted an antelope
Because Bobby’s beavers became bold,
Considering cantilevered canines
Deliberately devastating donor’s doled.

Evelyn entirely excited electric eels
Failing forlornly from forward fencing,
Gaining ground gathering genuine gold
Her happiness heralded high financing.

I indicated initially incapable innocents
Justifying joyous juxtaposition jousting
Keeping kind Kenneth’s kindreds knit
Losing language like legally lost...

Antelope.

A springbok runs fast on the savanna avoiding
lions and other predators, but ultimately it is
destined to become food for slayers and thus
 useful. Going back two and a half million years, 
my African ancestors too hunted them.
In Portugal the African heritage is quite strong,
their Fado...

The thickets were traitors,
Front and back they cut me down
Till I lost the sight of my buttery;
Gasping like blacksmith’s belows I asked: 
What flesh did antelope even have?...

A 
creature 
to 
pet 
and 
spoil 
like 
a 
child.
Smooth-
skinned, 
stepping 
cautiously 
in 
the 
grass. 
Round 
and 
plump 
like 
a 
newly 
married 
wife, 
its 
neck, 
heavy 
with 
brass 
rings, 
it 
eyes, 
Gentle 
as 
a 
bird.
It 
Head, 
lovely 
like 
a 
carved 
wood. 
When 
it 
run 
away, 
it...

____A Barren Antelope (Unedited)____

A barren antelope

Visits the world of the living

She is searching for the Messiah’s hands

To bless her womb with living

Kids, kids, everywhere, she

Wants to bear her own,

She wants to be a mother

And be called mother antelope

She cry and cry and cry over the...

An antelope, a reindeer and an elk walked into a bar.
Which bar?
The lion stared at his friend. “Does it matter?”
“It does to me.”

“Bar Sheeba Weebalah.”
The other lion nods.
“The antelope orders a beer. the reindeer orders a whiskey sour.”
The other lion pretends to laugh, hoping this...

lioness with her sights on the prize
antelope feels her; pops out her eyes
the chase is on
one is a pawn
antelope’s heartbeat is on the rise....

Marking deep footsteps 

of a youthful antelope

along thickened woodland--

earth's glory is replete

with a creature in motion.

Long was the run to live
On a May day;
Running in the corners of the living world.
A Female antelope,
Led it's way to a stream nearby
To wet it's broken feet to safety.
Just now had a fight with the mighty.
Running to a safe sojourn.
Grass so red returned with...

Antelope of Montana, Texas and Utah too
Those eyes of yours are such a fine amber hue!
Your wide eyed innocence makes me smile
You can outrun me for a solid country mile.

Cowboys with wide brim hats sing songs of you.
Heartfelt missives under the azure sky of blue
As...

It looked lost and lonely, 
Probably searching for its kind, 
Will hope aid it to find? 
Its home seems to have been invaded. 

The tree is bare and naked, 
It displays feeble boughs, 
It seeks solace from its ambience, 
An ailing credence. 

They stand beside...

Pecos Bill rode herd in the vast forlorn.
His quiet Paint gobbled buttered popcorn.
A tornado, in a fit, 
Came for a whirlwind visit. 
“Paint, meet Curley. His back I will adorn.”

Bill grabbed his rope and threw a loop with hope
And saddled the whirlwind so Paint could...

A man of Wyoming ate cantaloupe                 
While watching some galloping antelope       
To his aunt he said       ...
