Best Clan Poems

Tearing gusts of highland winds dim the sound of pipes
No one knows and no one sees and no one sets it right, 
Heavy hearted sadness carries, other souls who went ahead, 
Ghosts of kindred spirits living now or living dead, 
Running through the gorse and...

The Clan Keeper
The matriarch in the totem pole;
Gave her knowledge freely.
So that her offspring would know;
The beauty of the mystery.
And each generation born;
From seeds she planted by the family tree.
Would be decoration adorned;
That sets her spirit free.
Then continues on her presence;
Throughout the centuries.
And those that...

There once was a young man named Dan,
Who married a woman named Anne.
Three kids plus one more,
Males a total of four,
Now it's Dan and Anne and their clan.

Roy and Zenia had six kids I say
And all of their names began with J,
June, Junior and Justin
Joyce, Jackie and Jacquelyn,
Why in the world would they think this way?



And Jacquelyn, we think should know better
Did the same dumb thing, but no matter,
Candace, Carla, all C's
Celeste...

From the sea they came open, not sneaking by stealth
And they came for to parley, fosterage for wealth
As silver was spied, and its wealth was understood
And greed it brings war and also spilling of blood
And so a son was given, so they'd not be harmed
Or...

Clan..

The organic laws realistic courts to fit at
and fill to you but details my demon.

There are trickers and lairs.

They fit at some but hide their lies.

Those pretend for relevance all are china
soft despotic.

They made a very bad thresholds for 
HONG KONG common polls for C.E.O

when the masquerades came
they brought the drums
to the forests of our clan
the pipers came forth 
with ready pipes upon their arms
the dancers came out en mass
& the forests saw a full ceremony
of the ancient drumming & dancing -
then their sceptre went up to the sky
calling...

may flowers are still beautiful
taking their resolute resolve
to shoot out
to sprout with
ever-new life
they come
home in beautiful colours
like weaver-birds
on the ancient trees
all the clan claps & sings
new songs -
the elders entoning
with tongues of new speeches
new speeches of old wisdom -
oh, come, behold their signets
her may flowers

lonely
she sat upon the horizon's
aging firmament
like some tattoos
a sparkling diamond
seen from a side of mother's field!

now
fill'd with some celestial joy
o, star from old niger's sphere
a clanish masquerade
seen from a side of an ancestral hill
a swift crown of a celebrate clan!...

I would like to put on my shoulder
Nuclear Kryptonite that makes a SUPERMAN colder
Weak in the knees while chaos is at ease
Helpless Man of Steel who cannot do what he please
Luthor has let loose the BOMB from his reign
Smiling all the while as the citizens...

As I come, for molarity 
without molars. 
No grinding was left 
in the millstones.

The family 
accumulates. My distorted shape 
will not accept 
the broken ankle.

Paraplegic, you run 
faster than meteriorite. 
The boom was heard 
beyond cacophony.

It had come from 
the blue. The burning anchor 
of...

What's in a name?
Your roots. 
Your clan.
All that made me
who I am.
Offered up
in marriage,
like a sacrificial lamb.
Reclaimed now..
beause I can!
