Best Copenhagen Poems


Premium Member Tivoli Deja Vu

A place called Copenhagen, do you know its song? 
Joy and laughter safely ride waves of light.,  
and summer days are twenty-five hours long.

Do you still hear the sprocket's cadence and pedals din..
our hearts saying "follow me!" to clamour, and climax in sun,
along the perch fishing canals and Strøget's shops. 

You wore Pegasus sandals and a Nørgaard 101 striped t-shirt.,. two sizes too small, 
our bikes were true friends, our chains sang in unison,
to the lonely smiles of the raggedy ann town folk.

From the biergarten our parents look on..
sipping Carlsberg Pilsner and Mulberry Aquavit snaps.  
Just a hint of sadness hidden behind sunglasses,
they knew that innocent sun too.. 
 
Let's sup on ourselves unrepentant,
where no one else can dine.  
Your basket holds sweet fruit of existence..
the fresh bread of light in mine.

We'll make a pact to return one day,
where sunshine brightens the May,
and If the clouds turn to grey, 
or we're separated by a crowd of strangers..

I'll look for you at the center, searching through the bins,
for what two foolish lovers threw away.. 

Among Kewpie dolls, sandals & scarves, 
clothed déjà vu dreams abound.
Yet true hearts yearn for eternity still,
in Tivoli Garden's lost and found.

Copenhagen, Denmark

A city where
Sky scrapers are rare
As is the city
So are its  buildings, compact!

Scraped by the sky they seem
Yet intact is their splendor and grandeur
Modernity fused with the classic ancient
Decorates its highways and streets

Spell bound and enchanted
By its beauty I was to be
If it were not for the voice of duty
That called me back home

FAREWELL!!

Premium Member Copenhagen

Copenhagen came into view 
over looking the industry findings 
of Heidelberg sinking shores 
I'd mustered enough nerve to escape
his fist his open hand again twisting 
my arm I still held the stone he threw 
at my back busting my shoulder blade 
the woman at the dinner assures me 
I would be fine never the less panic fills 
my chest I pray my suffering ends soon 
perhaps he'd find something that interests 
him as much as attacking me I'm hopeful 
in my absence he will surely move on 
to a new hobby either way Copenhagen 
is wonderful this time of year.

Premium Member Copenhagen Legend of Tree Troll

Legend of Copenhagen says tree troll is a tale.
He is a wooden giant who drank way too much ale
This tall tale was fed to me by gullible cousin Gale.
Who also heard that tree troll devoured greens and kale.
We searched for this rascal over many hills and dale,
His infectious story was spreading fast without fail
Every version that came back to me was fun, never stale.

Smiling behind your receipt
Tangible evidence of your deceit
The date and time don’t match up with mine
You told me it’s fine I don’t have to whine

My family think I’m pushing through it
But I’m just not man enough to do it
How come I put the shotgun in my mouth
But end up shooting myself in the foot

I’m just gonna end it in Copenhagen
Just the one place I can’t find myself hatin’
I don’t really feel it anymore
Pray to god you’re fine but not as fine as you were before

Spires

On the day four beasts fell…
Their tails whipping the sky in smoke
Consumed by their own fire
Such commerce
 Brought down an ancient spire
 
Little did the beasts care
 A mighty success 5 years prior
When just one was saved
 From confusion and mire
 
For as the cock crowed
 In a mourning flame
If they would’ve recognized a sun
They would’ve known when thearthwon
