Best Colorado Springs Poems

A mountain madness, Colorado Springs'
Pike's Peak, some twenty miles to summit's top,
with roads like winding snakes that coil like rings
and at the open edge, steep cliffs of rock.

This mountain madness soon directs and reigns
along its highway somewhat heaven bound;
a narrow road with two-way traffic lanes
and...

Butti the tortoise from the zoo has flown the coop

   Your brother Tutti misses you, you little poop

      On you there is a large bounty

         If found in El Paso...

Man and dog, reputed best friends, rise above death’s fears.
With lives on the line, heroes save, minds and hearts in action.
Stories mount across counties where rescuers save many tears.
Not for any gain or fame, but for responsible satisfaction.
 
A perky little poodle, pretty, adorned in...

Conversation with an Angel

I live in an average neighborhood, in Colorado Springs. I like to refer to my street as
the ‘all American street’. Most of the homes in my neighborhood were built between the
1890’s and early 1930’s. Our yards are reflective of our personalities, so...

As My Day of Birth Approaches,

I'm Reminded how Fast Another Year has Gone By.

The Years Come and Go,

And in Some Respects, I Feel Numb to the Experience.

I Feel I Have Reached This Plateau in My Life.  A Level Ground.

Some Will Call it a Mid-Life...

Have you read about Joe Kenda?
That man is always on a bender
Hails from Colorado Springs
He to justice does them bring
Those bad men he'll do anything
To catch these guys, put them away
That blue eyed Joe, hey he's okay
No murderer escapes from him
He fills those jails up...

We lost a very dear friend this past week.
Simba had become so very frail and weak.
He gave us so much joy during his 19 years!
We held him as he passed, shedding copious tears.

He was an extraordinary red tabby cat with no pedigree.
There were no blue...

I was nursing a Metamusel Cocktail to keep me on the go,

When I fell asleep in my Lazy-Boy 'round nine o'clock or so.

'Round midnight my clock chimes 'wakened me with a start,

And stumbling over the cat in the dark, to the bathroom I did dart!

I’m writing a letter today to a solider that I know
To let him know how I miss and love him so
And when he returns to Colorado springs
He will see that he is my everything 
And with him I have all I need, yes indeed So
Tommarow...

*Promised deliverer, humanity’s Redeemer
Rendered a sacrifice, He paid with His blood
Divine justice on behalf of us sinners
Atonement was made so God could forgive
God could forgive

Long-anticipated, came bearing our burden
Enduring the Father’s wrath that was due to mankind
Humbly dependent, fully obedient
To the point of His death...

Summer Snowstorm


That summer, back in 'ninety-five,
   to Colorado Springs we flew
to visit grandkids and take in
   exciting places there to view.

One day to Pike's Peak we set off;
   some twenty miles, long and slow,
the winding road was treacherous

Electorate witnesses wounded beast...
flailing, lurching, and writhing in throes of agony

Trumpets blare acknowledging
crack hunters lucky strike,
i.e. bullseye salvo shot at
innocuous yet brutish
and nasty looking *****sapien
courtesy elite militia incapacitates,
(yet doth not kill) mortal enemy.

Tis a moost dangerous threatening president
(assailed all points of the compass)
able, eager,...
