Best Churchill Poems
Outrider, Churchill DownsOutrider early morn,
When training hours are borne,
They are the needed arm,
Sun, cold, wind, rain or storm,
Outrider in the sun,
Whose work is never done,
Where horses on the run,
Keep bettors having fun,
Outrider in the cold,
Ones with hearts so bold,
Their stories often told,
Of skillful ways they rode,
Outrider in...

Winston ChurchillIn the foggy isle of Britannia, many men have sought
Out fortune and fame.
But one man's legacy remains, as steadfast as the walls
Of parliament, a single voice echos, thunders across historical
Reference, and it's meaning sound is crystal clear, We shall
Never surrender, it has become this man's...

Ode To Winston ChurchillChurchill's appeal reflects a unique parentage
combining American and British heritage.
Winston Churchill, diplomat, lived with criticism,
Britain’s unstoppable prime minister showed
bulldog tenacity coupled with optimism.
His determination was revolutionary
His optimism looked beyond the problem.
Surrender was not in this man's vocabulary.
In his words, indecision leads to mayhem.
Arrogance...

Haling ChurchillIn parliaments of war and glory
You moved in ways marking life's truth,
To seal a vow of destined mission
Guiding your path…a brazen, uplifting voice
Sparked by this incessant passion which ignited
A nation besieged by roars of combat.
For you came providently into a world
Ripped by...

Winston ChurchillChurchill admired for his sharp wit,
a smoker, drinker, far from fit!
his stoop, his walk, his walking stick,
World doubted if his campaign would click?

with which reduced Hitler to dust,
when cornered in a losing war,
he fought back and emerged a star!

Winston ChurchillWINSTON CHURCHILL
A Commoner and not a lord,
He spent his life,
And round his bedside,
Stood only his children, and his wife.
His stroke was fatal,
At 8 am on the 24th day
Of January in the year 1965,
God paved his way.
A genius, an orator,
A husband loving...

You Are Not ChurchillWe did fight on the beaches. We with our allies
won the war.
We fought for democracy, for peace forevermore.
Churchill held a nation in his palm and swore we’d
never surrender.
But that was not peace time that was war and his
grit and guile...

Winston ChurchillLiquored up, Churchill liked to converse.
Talking politics, Winston would curse:
“All democracy’s trash!
We don’t act: we rehash.
But the other ‘arrangements' are worse."...
