Best Cloyd Poems

Two-Fifty-Four
©2012 C. Brent Cloyd

I bought a new scale at the Wal-Mart store.
Made it secure and level on the floor.
I took a breath, then stepped on.
The digits I saw made me moan.
Surely, I do not weigh two-fifty-four!

Let’s balance the scale, then I’ll try once more.
Adjusted proper,...

A Deal with the Chief Campaigner

There was a House Speaker named Boehner
Sought a deal with the chief campaigner 
For budget cuts he did hope
But campaigner said nope
For how would we pay the retainers?...

Our Twenty-Nine
©2012 C. Brent Cloyd

You have been my darling for twenty-nine
Traveling state to state, place to place
My partner, my lover, my valentine.

We’ve had and held on in good times or bad
We’re not rich, nor poor, but our house is full
You have been my darling for...

A Resolution for This Time
(Based on Eccl. 3:1-15)
©2011 C. Brent Cloyd

I long to see the beauty of my time
Hear music from eternal bells that chime
Enjoy earth, till this good life I sever
Look toward heaven that last forever

I’ll grasp my part in each life occasion 
Banish...

Why Do I Love You?
©2011 C. Brent Cloyd

When I tell you that I love you
Hurriedly you ask, tell me why?
You laugh when in dismay I sigh

Dare now, listen to some reasons
Obsess and parse them if you please

I love because God gave you to me

Life is...

The Old House and the New Home
©2011 C. Brent Cloyd

I’ve lived in houses in the country side
There with my family I did abide
By the dust and gravel of a country road
Much pride was taken in our humble abode

I’ve lived in houses perched on a hill
Many...

Caucus Over
©2012 C. Brent Cloyd

Romney claims he is most electable
Results conclude that is debatable.

Bachman stood firm on defense and health care law
Discovered her support was filled with straw.

Santorum touched palms, wore out shoes and truck
Had clear narrative, timing and good luck.

Perry soared, forgot, “oops,” and...

Empty Speeches 
©2012 C. Brent Cloyd

Gone are the columns, gone is the crowd
Just twenty thousand, shouting loud
Gone is the hope, debt was the change
Stale words remain, empty and strange

The air is filled with Biden baloney
He pleads the case for a liberal crony
Praises a job well...

Joker Joe
      ©2012 C. Brent Cloyd

Vice President Biden is prone to gaff
But his debate strategy was to laugh
With smirk and grin told things that were not so
That’s how we will remember Joker Joe...

New Hampshire Has Spoken
©2012 C. Brent Cloyd

Romney is choice of the republican elite
With thirty-nine percent he’ll be hard to delete.

Paul’s crowd is excited and nipping at his heels
They’ve made monetary policy issues real.

Huntsman says third place gives him a ticket to ride
So on down to...

The Secret Revealed to Joseph
©2011 C. Brent Cloyd

About the birth of Christ men have much to say,
But the Bible says it came about this way.
Joseph proposed and to Mary was engaged,
But then he received news that left him enraged.

She was pregnant, Joseph, surprised discovered.
A cloud...

Who Won (rigged) Maine?
©2012 C. Brent Cloyd

Saturday Maine voters took a poll
Romney won, but Paul camp claims he stole
One Paul leaning caucus, cancelled for snow
Helping Romney move on with MoJo.

When final votes tallied, Paul may win
But by then there’s no victory to spin
The liberty cause...

A pitcher’s job is very difficult in baseball.
The other teams batters are what he must stall.
Pitchers must keep hitters from making contact with the ball.
Too many runs scored can lead to a pitcher’s downfall.
It takes skill and luck to be a winner in baseball.
Fifteen wins...

God is everywhere
God is everywhere – so, do not try to find him
He was in that first breath - you took this morning
That first step you took – when you got out of bed-
He was in that cup of coffee
That plate of bacon and eggs
In...
