Best Code Poems
The Hero Code: DecodedI was enthralled by each panel
a world in my grasp.
Comic books whisked me
beyond time's clasp.
Starlight's soft shimmer
on planets unknown,
Myths spun with heroes
on...

The Silent Code of the Animal FarmThe tricky question of how many animal farms we have
May be more complicated than most of us think;
There are at least some fifty-five animal farms in the world
Where wild mammals play and eat and drink.
And although there lightning is feared more than law,
These farms all...

Rewrite Your Code“That’s just the way you’re wired”
Sure some settings are predetermined out of the box
But most adapt over time to the environment
Growing up we all adjust to the situation to survive
To try to get our needs met and gain connection
In order to not...

Code RedSyrupy smoke leaks from her corner lair
Ruby red lips lick your name in the air
Short skirts lead any man’s mind straight to sex
Probably any man’s instant reflex
a Black short dress covers something in red
Back widow spiders share this fateful dread...

'Doubt Is Not the Dress Code'Don't slip into the habit of doubting yourself again
You got this far
You worked your way through stuff
Not everyone was a witness to
Tearing down walls
Setting those boundaries
Necessary ones at that
Not everyone should be privy to what drives you
Don't doubt who you are in a world
Where...

The Success CodeHere goes the success code.
Be fit and never lose your feet
Choose your speech, keep your guard
Do not go on your knees except unto God.
Always give them your fist,
Else you might just lose your seat.
That is my operation mode!
It is the real success code....

Code TalkersMy soul rejoices
For its metaphors,
Those pure and mixed;
Transforms symbols,
Veiled into Light--
We are literary:
Our stories, lives,
Encrypted by the Maker,
Deciphered by
Men and women
With ears to the earth
And eyes to the sky--
They have never forgotten
The Great Plains--
Its deep thunder of buffalo;
One with brother eagle
Respectful of thermals
And winds
Shared a...

Some Thoughts Come In CodeWhen unsurpassed greed's uncontrolled
King Midas' story be told!
The steps to his stash
Cast his daughter for cash
She's an allegory of gold

Morse Codei send a message
in a dark passage
repetition pulse
genetic impulse
you do repeat back
via a small crack
repetitive tone
you begin to moan
all things stop and start
skin not far apart
a very hard code
release a soft load
