Best Escalade Poems
Hypocrisy Democracy and the Seven Day WeekendWe have fences around homes...
locks on doors
bars across windows
video cameras-
motion detectors
and panic rooms.
To protect the only sanctuary that we have.
Even heaven has a vetting gate to keep evil at bay.
but they call trump a heartless, racist...
for protecting the only sanctuary that we have...
We kill a...

Eco-Friendly Vehicles
Eco-Friendly Vehicles
By Rick Rucker
As an infant, when I went outside,
In a stroller, with circular wheels, I would ride,
As I became restive, and wanted to roam,
My parents bought me a trike, so I could leave home,
It did not last very long,
My legs soon became far too...

RunBy Street Cries
I run for the days my ancestors where slaves beat tossed in a grave
Four hundred years work no pay
Death to those who ran away
Hung from a tree till they passed away
Women and children taken away
Stripped of religion way they...

Being "Olde School" with an "e" and a Cadillac classic car buff.
I went to this show and was blown away by all the "Cads" I did see!
I'll describe some of them to you! Come take...

FakeryYou see them all the time,
the Stepford wife
and her counterpart,
the bronzed over, buffed high sheen,
man bun walking in skinny jeans,
so tight they squeak...
HIPSTER as they pass on by.
With a flower in the beard,
the artisans musk hinting the air,
bees wax soap and a...

The Metropolitan AreaThe metropolitan area consists of everything like theaters, museums, restaurants, and a lot of hotels and skyscrapers. But most of all, the cities are filled with public transportation(city buses, subways, trains, taxi cabs, and airports, e.g.) and a lot of luxurious vehicles. Whether anyone is...

Mind's Dark SphereAs twilight's shadows light does fade
Dark machinations interstices invade
In deep crevasses, insecurities cascade
In dark corners, fears, doubts parade
Day's, blithe rhythms subconscious channels evade
Night's diabolical inventions the deep recesses pervade
My twittering eyes cannot the bleary apparitions dissuade
As mind's candle flickers, o'er frontal lobes dark minions escalade
As...

Better Than An ExtraHis heartbeat is at home, whom he cherishes as a cub
I am the spice and the escort for every night club
he claims with tears, his matrimony is morbid
my opposition has grown limbs to completely forbid
demands and tricks from his desk, so puerile
please sir, let our...

Perfection Is Never PerfectPure perfection was what she
was, with her size two waist
and a diamond nose stud.
Her big, blue eyes stood out
the most; but her long, blonde
hair came pretty close.
Everything about her made the
men stair, though she never
caught the eye of the...

Obituary of the MastodonsAttention to all the feeble masses
The massive ones have gone,
The one’s who once ruled the prairie’s of Kansas
Wooly cumbersome saints they were ,
Yea those ones, yea they are gone, they have left.
Now we are left, all, to be unchallenged, un thwarted
From our goals of...

She Fell Unconscious In Her CarShe fell unconscious in her car, they think it is her heart.
She is young, but un-doctored, too busy taking care of others
To worry about any needs of her own.
One minute talking
Next in the hospital
Head bandaged up
They had to cut the jeep up
To pull her...

Old Tucker BrownOld tucker brown wanted to
Go fishing,
He sat and planned his day
Of activity,
He got his fishing gear, with
His rubber boots in hand,
“Oh my gosh”
It is pouring cats and dogs,
Maybe a Cadillac,
One……
At the most, do not know the
Color…
For the clouds were so very
Black..
Well,
At least he thought it...
