Best Hit The Ground Running Poems


Keepin Up
Got a wild hair and found  a younger woman
did I.
Took a trip oh howtime did fly.

I wake up she already ran three miles.
Going eighty down the interstate.
she's doing more than playing 
with the dials. 

Last night in the sack.
She turned into a gymnast ...

Lost In the Backwods
Took a trip off the beaten path.
Nothing modern in site.
Knee deep in the woods and to scared to laugh.

Blew a tire.
Met some dude that said something about my mouth.
He did admire.

So I ran in fear.
Till no longer him and his brothers dueling banjo
I could no...

When the president said ‘misunderestimated’
Everybody wondered, ‘was he ever educated’
But I forgive him that, for the thing that makes me ‘EEK!’
Is the mad proliferation of Corporation Speak…

For thirteen years a desk paid my rent
As I gave a hundred and ten percent
While progress chasing, the big...

I rest my case
on a house of cards
(that)
hit the nail on the head
(of) the nail in the coffin
(that)
hit the ground running
where the rubber hits the road
(while)
time flies when you’re having fun
in the nick of time
(and)
all’s well that ends well
all is fair in love and war
(let’s...

Road Trip
I've heard that endings are for lunchtime, college careers and birthdays, Once they come around, they're wont be other times quite like them. I could feel your heart beat vibrating faster each time my hands made a movement to press against your waist, and then...

Surely God is good,
Surely to Israel,
Surely God is good to Israel, 
Surely God to pure hearts,  
(please don’t call me Surely)
Soitenly God-Blessed are the dear-heart folks?
Who shall have attended God?

But 
As for me

I slipped, I stumbled, I hit the ground running to heavens to...

Lighthouse On the Sea
Be the lighthouse on the sea
Guiding lost souls to come to me
Ponder this through your heart and war
Should I come to knock on your door
I count the hours locked away
And to my hearts contempt I stay
A little line of mine to shine
My own burden to...

Encounters
Encounter :Beginning
A wailing
jolted out of dream
forced from suspension
my liquid world
I feel then strangling me
the hands of anxiety
so starved for attention
so starved for nourishment
the world has come 
to open my eyes 
the journey of me begins
substance received
back to the dream
violated, stripped to bones
compelled to make you...

The Big City Gig Part No. Two
"Now when we showed up...
There it was, a professional set...
A huge Hammond B-3 Organ..
(King of all Organs..same as used
by Santana at Woodstock, etc....)
500 pounds of growling power...
Something I'd never seen up close...
With huge spinning Leslie Speakers...
Oh, my God!..,I was finally closer
to organist heaven than most...

So...

The Road Runner
In real life this is a comical fellow, sort of strange
Most know him from the cartoons, tricking the old coyote
More to our feathered friend, after a victory then the usual "beep beep"
As he goes at lighting speed across the range
Running like it is his last...

I grew up on the right side
          Of the wrong side of the tracks
I hit the ground running
          With no thought of looking back
First I ran from...

Return of the Fire Within
Alone in the light
Just barely scraping by
I'm itching for a fight
I tear away from the urge to die

I'm wide awake from a bolt of lightning
I realize my position now
Man or machine, the lines are blurred
As the fire burns in my soul

Burning now, released from my...

Ataraxis
Beset it seems on every side
Invasions perturbations in our lives
By order or by decree
Or by slight of propaganda
These troublesome entries are constantly knocking
And the no escape from it comes a mongering

Some demand made of sanity
A madness to strain our credulity
Were you sitting there quite comfortably
Contemplating...

I find nothing wrong with being educated--
As long as one's education doesn't exceed one's intelligence.
Ya  know what I mean Vern?
It's like putting two friendly cats in a sack,
shaking it up and dumping them out.
Each will claw and scratch to get ahead,
as they hit the...
