Best Atlanta Poems

imagine me
upon his knee

a little child so meek and mild
thrilled to visit our dear Santa
in the heart of old Atlanta
such a precocious little child

thrilled to visit our dear Santa
in southern Georgia warm and wild
not in the least my mind beguiled
in the heart of old Atlanta

The Falcons are a team that is flying high.
Their success is something no one will deny.
When the birds have other teams in their clutches,
their opponents usually walk out on crutches.

Every Atlanta child, woman, and man,
should be proud to be a Falcons fan.
This is a team...

losing in the Wild Card game.

We float together above the earth,
The clouds and I.
They form layers.
From above, they are fluffy white and pristine.
Below, dirty gray and flat.
A skim of flotsam that seeks a place to settle.
A sheet of marble.

Then changing to rows of cotton planted 
Two on four. Ready to...

Unemployment line
Single file to soup kitchen...
Fear of homelessness

Unemployment line
Cries in emergency room...
Fear, no insurance

Unemployment line
Like a faith-healer's crusade...
Hope to help, heal, house...

Feel the sun, and enjoy the breeze of spring,
Opening your door to let winter out.
React to the pollen, watching it cling
Everywhere, because of the long drought.
Visit the Easter Bunny at the mall.
Easter eggs are finally in season!
Reach for a stick, then go grab a round...

Stuck with gas, no antacid had Santa
as he flew Christmas Eve near Atlanta.
When Santa Claus farted,
the reindeer all darted.
And poor Santa cried out, "Oh, Mylanta!”

My son is nine years old;
    we laugh, read, cry, paint, 
        draw, watch cartoons, fish, 
           play at the park, and do homework

I love...

just another lie from hertThough at times she made me purr

love is much more than sex
she loved taking my checks

that was so...

Atlanta, Georgia
Is filled with some smart people
The parks offer peace
'Til someone is killed by guns
Sometimes~stabbing, girl and dog

Nearly every night or even in daylight someone is killed in the Atlanta area (including several towns and counties), sometimes in twos....

An indissoluble overcast
hazes stark starless skies,
submerging neuortic Atlanta's
shapely, contrasting shadows.

Peering through magnetic stratus
neon flashes a stuttered stammering staccato.
Silent voices scream out 
from their calico maze.

Treacherous felines prowl roof tops,
searching with iridescent eyes
for unway soaring eagles
jetting through the cloudy sky

Nesting clouds reflect
patchy haloed night beams,
outlining vague...
