Best Cooper Poems

The frozen sap of mirthless trees,
The fractured flow of icy streams.

The howling wind that claws at life, 
The forest shrouded in endless white.

Skeletal ice hangs from warm lit homes,
....brittle fingers, glacial bones!

Gibbous moon with light unclean, 
Casting shadows barely seen.

Wide tongues of sleet lick hands...

Spring

Cool breeze gently blows
Brilliant butterflies dancing
Rainbows in motion
 
Summer
 
Glorious gold beach
Sandcastles reach for the sky
Children having fun 
  
Autumn
 
Crisp leaves fall slowly
Green glens veiled in falls blanket
Sunset beneath trees
 
Winter
 
Cold icy morning
Dancing whirling wonderland
Snowflakes from heaven

You told me we’d always be friends
Out of the blue our friendship ends
I was your ‘forever friend’ - you told me so
Now you simply don’t want to know
 
Thought you the one on who I could rely
A comforting shoulder when I wanted to cry
A shining...

Dead babies
All in circles
Dead babies
Screaming, screaming
I hear my name
Over here, over here
One second of birth
I die in flame
Of wombs passion
Don’t be crying
I was always dying

Don’t touch me now
Don’t feel the cold placenta
Tumble down lost one ways
Deep purple tunnels
Swiss alpine meadows
Light and night twisted like vine
I...

One of the stars on The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon Cooper
Thinks constantly about himself as being so super

Asperger's Syndrome is what his symptoms loudly proclaim
As he works out scientific formulas but seems not sane    

People who suffer from Asperger's Syndrome often show

Caerphilly is a small town
Famous for its cheese
Has a castle looks like its falling  down
With a Moat around with geese

Outside now stands a large Statue, 
It needed to be big he would boast.
Thats what the nature of this man
Big, but stupid loved by most

Its a statue...

With two hundred thousand dollars
and a parachute way up high,
Dan Cooper left the 727 he hijacked
and disappeared in the deep blue sky.

Somewhere between Seattle and Portland
the only American hijacker never caught
landed either dead or alive - 
the FBI and authorities know naught.

He bought a ticket...

What would you call the young hatchling, for fun,
Of a buzzard crossed with a flamingo?
The answer is moot ’cause it couldn’t be done,
So the joke is on you: Buzzingo!

DB COOPER-IAN MUNYWE
Ka DB cooper sina pupa,
nitaondokea pia muda ukifika.
Daily kukachora kuzuia swara,
bila rwaara bado ninang`ara.
kaka dada mama baba,
nawatakia mengi mafanikio.
nahisi kama Jimi Hendrix,
back in 69 huko woodstock,
ama king Bob Marley in 79 santa barbara.
vibe ilikuwa safi pia,
John Lennon akiwa madison square in 72.
basi tunazidi...

It’s Cooper’s Creek we’re crossing here, Willis said to Burke
We need to have a base camp and this creek ought to work
I’ll put it in the journal, November 1861
It’s been four months since we started but our venture’s just begun
From Melbourne up to lands-end, they’ve...

My neighbor, Pete, is very frustrated
For two weeks he has been constipated
Then, in Poetry Soup
I heard him yell, "Whoop Whoop!"
His laxative had been activated!

He eats spicy food and lot of legumes
Where he shows up, a gaseous cloud looms
Pete is kinda kinky
When he makes a stinky
He...

For many years I bubbled beneath the deep Earth’s crust
Hot and molten ever moving, upward trying to thrust 
Suddenly a crack appeared, above...

The Doubter Me?
by Terry Cooper


The Doubter Me?

 

Here stands one who doubts!

Even though I know the goodness of man,

and of course the other side of humanity.

Though I somehow know God is there for me,

I am never-the-less driven to question a future……

 

I believe beyond the...
