Best Colin Poems

A contemporary creature,
this Tyrannosaurus Rex is not a carnivore.
He delights in gnashing peanut butter sandwiches
and his habitat is lush
with rocks and bugs and toys
And if I dare suggest he is a little boy--
his mighty roar is deafening.
Its echo captures ancient pains
that live in mother's heart
And...

First Black American Secretary of State, COLIN POWELL, (1937-2021)
Served in the G. W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, and Jimmy Carter administrations,

His hobby was restoring old cars; hardly knew the meaning of vacations.

My brother
could hibernate through 
anything.

Even the nights of unmitigated fury
that expelled itself in blasts of white, frothy 
spittle 
from the corners of father’s lips.

He was a cocooned worm nestled 
in the bed at the back of my room
while
mom held the cheap aluminum door,
maintaining our homeostasis,
shut.

COLIN ROSS

Colin Ross the squatter man
He wore a suit of black
He carried a pistol on his hip
And a cross of gold hung slack
Deadfox Dancy looked up from his sheep ...
(so called for raffling a dead fox in the pub)
His shearing interrupted
was it god from the...

.    SUNDAYS  WITH  COLIN
We, are all a Binary Code,
Noughts  and Noughts, and ones and ones;
The beginnings, look like the end…
 and the ends, look ,
Like the same, as it begun!
This is progress and much- much  more,
According to Colin,...

They told marchers they shouldn’t march;
screamed at sitters in busses and diners;
blocked the doors to the public schools,
“whites only” signs were clear reminders.
They hated when black fists were raised,
or when folks joined peaceful protests;
they couldn’t stand their sins broadcast,
were frightened by the freedom fests. 
While...

Colin Powell Horn Haiku

One was wise old owl
I had thought of Colin Powell
My face has a scowl.

Have lost my respect
Criticism did detect
Can't be more direct.

Seems like politics
Of trade full of many tricks
Off me always ticks.

What do you think of that one?

Poor Mr. Colin Kaepernick
Claims America is racist, inegalitarian and sick

Colin is a cabby with a proper taxi cab
He drives for all the passengers an Uber didn’t grab
Which means he has a lot of time to kill most every day
And lots of evil folk to deal with if they come his way

Now there’s no standard...

walking through the dark
long strides, not looking
the eyes all on me
burning, the smell of hate
rising through the leaves 
my thoughts are coming 
just one of many  
dripping from graceful mouths
she said goodbye to the airless room
the men stared, some looked away
droning on, so far...

Don't ever vouch for drunk caffeine
That it can't one show one's coffin,
Now,my heart's calm rate quickening,
Later,taxed vessels weakening
Turns it out a search for a lift
But towards Descent final drift.
One begins to question its source;
A system is being moved with force.

The waiter in every cola:
Eaters it...
