Best Groups Poems

A Murder of Crows
A Shadow of Jaguars
A Flamboyance of Flamingos
A Mess of Iguanas
A Congregation of Alligators
A Crash of Rhinos
A Band of Gorillas
A Thunder of Hippos
A Pot of Water Buffaloes may wallow away,
while A Wisdom of Owls roost for the day.
A Battalion of Falcons would indeed...

My jeans are all piled into three groups
From thin to as wide as hoola-hoops
     Diets are such tedium
     Finally back at medium
Efforts to get there would shock our troops

With nineteen pounds lost in just six weeks
I’m once...

Red checkered carpet and mahogany wood dominate
Guinness, beer and wine stand politely 
Reflective 
The eclectic gathering of minds and smiles
Litter the room as left over christmas baubles 
While one voice swoons across the ceiling to fall on ravenous  ears

Smiles in therapy 
And memory slip...

They flock in groups of three
and feast on shattered molecules.
They nag at your shoestrings,
waiting
for the moment you become vulnerable.
They will gnaw at your pulsating membranes,
leave a mangled carcass,
and consider their next victim.
They thrive between the living and the dead,
unsure of which path to pursue,
and as...

Why does Congress still have a Black Caucus?
Do we still need the N.A.A. C. P.?
Congress says we are all equal
The law says that everyone’s free
We would never allow a White Caucus
Although white is a minority
They can’t pursue unequal advancements
Though discrimination there be
So let’s drop these...

They're taking over the music scene
These acapella groups are everywhere
Popular as perhaps 
The Beatles or Elvis or Whitney
Are they trying to appeal to girlie crowds
Of course the quartet groups of the fifties
Each era had it's own sensation
Five-man acapella groups
Are now the rage of the two...

Members of Minority Groups

Discrimination applies to members of minority groups;
Should apply to handicapped and someone who stoops;
Indians here first,
And by us cursed;
Maybe poor postured President with eye lids that droop.

What could they be all about?
I'd tell you: For what we'd scout,
When our passions for them shout.
What groups cannot do without;
Once one neglects each a flout...

Cash crop farms say fertile lands,

All Seasoned Smokers: their brands,

the dead and the living, the sane and the insane
but who can match which with which?...

Pattern of arrayed
circle colors regular 
pattern on solid

circumferences large
circle sizes big and small
circle Polka dots

circling hue of views
on top of plain solid sheets
abundantly dips

ever so drops of
differed colors spots shines as
circle Polka dots

hanging out amongst those who are like minded
new to the group naive to the lies and deceptions
groomed with gifts fun spotlight low expectations
time goes by everything great money had you blinded
you had the lovers fame reputation all felt so right
competitiveness between group members alike
