Best Carrie Poems

Brunette, of hair, my mother's face
I'm known to be a country girl
I like to wear blue denim jeans, 
but love to wear a dress of lace
I've made mistakes, to my disgrace
I'm small in size......my eyes are blue
I'm not a prize, have no excuse
I'm the neighbor...

Distance does not impede her grace
innocence shines on her face
carry on we say
carry us away
Write for us of those olden days
carry our mindset's to child's play.

Days come and go, but she carries
her dreams to us and memories
carry on we say
carry us away
Never leave us alone...

Poor Miss Carrie was scared of anything to do with Halloween,
She’d jump at just the sheer mention of this holiday, no please 
Let’s just talk about something else, but as all hollows eve 
Approached, this nervous girl would stay inside and hide!
I’m not going out...

No matter who he would marry, his heart belonged to Carrie
Her romance with Aiden could'nt keep them apart
Big already had her heart
It was almost like a forbidden love
The kind one tries to rid themselves of
Their love stood through the test of time
Lingering on in the...

Her voice was soft on the telephone
She had gentility, like the part of the city she once lived

We talked of tragedy and chicory coffee
My friends had told me the situation was still grim

I asked her of Galatoire's and Brennan's
Of the Ninth Ward, and of her...

Carrie had  a moose fine if you ask me
                            Asked my dog Lee out for a date...

Carrie Nation and her cohorts stirred up all kinds of consternation,

   As they raided bars leaving a trail of broken glass across the nation!

      With hatchet and Bible in hand she preached hellfire and damnation!

Lyric poets, lovers of fine rhyme;
balladeers who weave with lines a tale;
satirists and bards of the sublime,
and troubadours who sing a light rondel.
Will my muse appear to me and show it?
That place I long to be, where they all dwell. . . 
and I'm with...

She was a writer and she also loved to act.
While she was on a plane, she had a heart attack.
I thought that she was getting better but sadly, she didn't make it.
Her fans are devastated by her untimely death, people can't take it.

She had many...

Doug Heffernan
A goofy and humorous man
He spurred belly laughs with every show
Sad when the King of sitcom had to go

Carrie Heffernan
A wife and workaholic with a plan
She never seemed to get a break
with Doug's demands of burgers and steak

On a couple of acres of land,
Lives a Southern Californian heart.
With rangeland a scenic backdrop,
She lives in her state’s Northern part.

Surrounded by mountains and meadows,
Her heart’s full of camping memories.
With many generations of creations,
The good Lord has blessed her family.

Mt. Shasta’s seen from her window,
And...

NOTE: I was recently asked to write an acrostic piece for a father to his daughter 
on her fourth (I think) birthday. This is the resulting work. Luckily, the requestor 
seemed to like it, so I am posting it here. T.

Cherished as you are throughout...

Carrie Stinnard

1891-1908

No one was supposed to know about it.

No one was privy to what I saw that cloudy day.

That curious and confusing day,

Over there, in Clark Cemetery,

Across bemired Citrus Road,

With the mud puddles and the tire tracks.

Over there amongst the alabaster crosses

And the soaked pliant...

Carrie Meeker was a sleepwalker,
Her doctor prescribed beta blocker;
The drug acted full whack 
stopping her sleep and walk
Now she is a real chronic squawker....
