Best Header Poems

I see that Bubba’s so forlorn.
He’s too depressed to talk today. 
Two months in a full-body cast	
can keep one’s cheerfulness at bay. 

He donned his super hero suit 
and took a header off the roof
(two-story!) Nothing broke his fall.
He lies now, silent and aloof.

He’d failed...

Zillion supporters screaming, a loud buzz,
 Yearning to return home cheered by victory.
 Xerox machines preparing the next day’s papers; Max
 Wit for the shame or fame of a member of the show.
 Violent vitriol from commentators like engine rev
 Unites with supporters’ glee at...

No more creativity deemed on 
the exercise of rotten faculty
Nor burning intelligence’s 
penalty
Nor repression sold as 
suppression
Nor dissemination of distortion 
I shall be content at dawn
To take my leave
Subjugation’s tyranny’s ambition
It’s combat? 
Humanity’s mission
Submission’s antithesis is 
faction
Behold as protest is deemed 
agitation
As justice refuses man’s...

The night was frigid and at its poorest,
But who am I to judge, when I was not the wisest,
A slight breeze crawled up my spine,
I could taste the wind’s saltiest brine.
My eyes conveyed to an old lodge,
So I can refuge, from this monstrous botch.
The place...

Germany came out in their usual black and white
as the fans screamed with delight
 Italia   came in white and blue
ready to play as the whistle blew
 the Germans were favored to win the game
but went down one, from a header it came
Losing now...

A huge Congratulations 
to everyone who passed
matriculation this year 
but please don't congratulate 
to me because I have no one 
to happy hearing your sweet voices.

In the past years I was waiting 
to hear some congratulations
from my parents but they are gone
some nine  months...

Come
Be my operator
Me your camera

Medium shot
Lower Manhattan sidewalk café
He in Armani suit accented with Ferragamo tie
She with Jimmy Choo and Prada outfit
Both with Latté and croissant

Low angle
Bottom of refuse chute
Zooming up through...

They don’t get it, bunch of fools
Don’t they see how the media drools
Over each and every tweet
Crafted not to be discreet.

Are they blind to my great skill
Of bending media to my will,
Time and again I pull that trick,
And they fall over like a brick.

My strategy’s...

Water, water everywhere
running down the walls
and dripping through the ceiling
like the darned Niagara Falls.
The carpet is all sodden
but really, if you please,
I draw the line at paddling
unless it’s in the seas.

I never liked the wallpaper,
though here comes the ‘BUT’,
until I have some money
I had hoped...

Ropin Pen
Headed to the ropin' pen
On a Saturday night
Cooler is loaded
This just feels right

Got the ol' dodge rollin'
You know I ain't no phony 
Got this six horse trailer
Loaded with my one and only

It's a 10 point slide
Down there at Cody's 
With a fresh batch of...

I have no boundaries

I am the air
Lightly above you
I am the earth
Strong beneath your feet
I am the sparkling city that embraces the ebony of your sky
Diamond Concrete

I am a bold faced lie
I am a dose of lung deflating truth
A punch to the chest and you...

Of all the sights I daily sees
There’s none so wonderous as cheese!
In a block, wheel, sliced or shaken,
Correct me if I’m mistaken,
At the slightest whiff of cheddar
Concentration takes a header!
And throughout all the rank and file
“Say cheese!” is known to bring a smile.
Talk about sophistication,
How...

What In Life, Can We Truly Ever Hold


What of life, brings us such great thrilling calls
Weeks dancing about, floating on cloud nine
Remember as children huge red beach balls
And ice cream eating, strawberry was fine!

Why does time, take away more than it gives
Starting with loved family...

France on a hot streak
Bastion of confidence
Second trophy in their sights...

Dews of diamond falling, love pine whispering
Greenish leaves waving, gentle breeze ripples the pond
Morning sun showering the kids vitamin
Elixir of beauty splashing yet am unripe
But its my season!!
Seasoning myself yet the aroma goes no where
Friends and love ones spreading their scent around town
Surviving header to...
