Best Champs Poems

 They illuminate the muse giving it that zeal
 Their gleams have a magical feel
 Enchanting us with glowing appeal

 They are loved by all across the board
 Lighting up the imagination, wonderfully adored
 Spreading their glows in joyous accord

 Awesome little insects generating micro...

Spring training is starting way down south
This is the year, “Go Blue Jays” we'll shout
All the way to the Series

Finally since 1992, a big celebration we'll flout...

my soul plunged into sadness
and this town becomes my cry
Belgrade in Paris
when I feel its beautiful avenue
singing the hymn to nostalgia
oh land of my youthfulness
my lovely Serbia

mon âme plonge dans la tristesse
et cette ville devient mon cri
Belgrade à Paris
quand je sens sa belle avenue
en chantant...

East St. Louis, IL
City of Champs

A city with untapped potential and mountains of hope,
A people with great dreams, reaching forward
Looking for ways to manage and cope.
From the outside looking in, it doesn’t appear to be much
Enduring and standing through a lifetime of corruption,
Protected and sustained...

The memories of games gone by, filled his heart with joy as he recalled his many turns at bat.
Baseball was his first love and he recalled his family cheering him on, in the stands.

GIRL AT CHAMP DE MARS
Beneath the girds of steel, rising to the sky;
where tourists go to watch the world go by;
the children come to play, and lovers walk
through myriads of life and idle talk,

this is the Champ de Mars where Paris goes
to show that side...

........CHRISTMAS ON CHAMPS ELYSEES
This night of mass, I still recall
the thing we had--dare I suggest,
if it was love, how we did fall?
For just a while, our lives were blessed
........Now Christmas on Champs Elysees
.........is not the same, in any way.

The lights reflecting on the Seine
have lost...

Game 5 starts with a bang, a base hit then home run by Pearce right away

Sitting here watching the game
You suddenly realize it’s just that—
A game going from goal to goal;
Win or lose, you get to go again.

However, the awareness is this;
Life is a reality taking you from one
Goal to another; but lose or win
You never get to play again.

Now...

      No more can you say
        that Paris is gay
   
      Only the left
        has right-of-way

Around the wet corners of summer
In the alleys of scooter-revving Paris
11 at night
A back light herd of red eyes
Bull-rush Champs-Elysees

Parting for an ambulance
Its siren wobbling like a half-drunk soprano
Sobbing a song

While a man in tuxedo
Is breaking plates on the cobblestone
For our attention to the menu...
