Best Frontage Poems
'temporary Halt'Today might be "that day"
When playing the victim
Might have to end
You need to face the challenge
Head on
Hiding behind the frontage of 'I can't'
Uttering the words 'I am not ready'
Won’t always work
Somehow you need to try again
Somehow you need...

Wonderful Worthing Promenade Part 1Five miles of neatly spaced suckered palm planted
Bustling promenade,
Not withstanding a provincial cafe-culture
Of restaurants and exciting little bars,
Enhance upon regal elegance of the crammed hotels
Regency period style facades;
Their fashionable shadows slowly lifting and slowly falling
Across the lines of deferentially, slowly moving cars.
Trundling on...

Yoruba Holy CommunionYoung as just a week,
He was wrapped in a flannel.
His tender feet were shoeless -
Today was his appointed time;
His feet must dialogue with gods.
The frontage was kind
To the pews and table.
The priest stood before the gods,
His grey hairs vouched for his age.
He opened the...

Eating With BigfootI tapped into my messages; the gas
company wanted a piece of me, and
my ex wanted to know when the
month’s alimony would be arriving.
But it was the last message which
caught my attention the most; Big Foot,
the wrestler, wanted to meet...

Katrina Waves
Draws her strength internally
Boasting strong hosed waves ashore
Headed inland she sweeps all asunder
Vanishing in a breath’s count
‘Frontage’ lays flattened now
Waved ‘kaput’!Katrina
Drawing her core strength
Boasting strong hosed waves ashore
Head inland she sweeps all asunder
Vanishing in a breath’s count...

All AboardWho suggests a trip back...rides to this bit of nostalgia in the middle years of the Great Depression aboard a Chicago elevated train, "the El." We hurdle head-long above asphalt blanketed streets that are determined to out distance each high moving carrier. No matter how...

Building a House On SandBuilding a House on Sand
By Elton Camp
Alabama has some frontage on the Gulf Coast
Where the risk of storm damage is the most
People with money will build right on the beach
Instead of where a hurricane isn’t likely to reach
Then for all of us, house insurance rates...

A MonasteryThe clad ivy charms, warms the walls,
The frontage that welcomes the fold and their outsiders,
Specifying age and strength of delicate beauty,
Which accounts for that non-existent love:
History sides with them, is by their shoes,
Shows no retrogressive signs or playbacks,
For the aestheticism in...

A Goose Tale Is Not a GooseberryA goose in a noose got loose today. At last. At times he had watched as bodies of his fellow feathers had been brought out of the shed having walked in just fine. On the promise of a treat. And then crushed. Defeat. Strung. He...

A Well-Balanced BeerA Well Balanced Beer
A well-balanced beer may cost this gal dearly
It’s a cabaret act the tax guys said clearly
They caught her “act” in a bar late one night
And the way she poured beer they said was “all right!”
She would balance a glass, sometimes 3, sometimes...

The Bride Wept... And the bride came out
With a velvet wafting above her head
At her mother’s feet she knelt ,
She looked at her face and wept :
Mother : daughter of massive rock
In frontage of the envious ;
They wake up and can not headbutt it.
Today I will leave...

My PersonaMy Persona
Today I built myself a Persona,
My Identity has become a façade,
I thought it was time I had one,
Concealment shouldn’t be too hard.
It’s a kind of portico, facia or frontage,
A cover-up or clever disguise.
Smoke screened by veneered pretence,
You won’t see what’s in front of your...
