Best Hod Poems


Premium Member The Blue and the Grey
Under the canopy of the pine trees we lay
My brothers and I, and our mates the other three,
They wore a different uniform the colour grey
Yet here in purgatory a smile from them being free

Oh to remember how we all played at the creek
Although their parents...

Premium Member The Sheriff of Nottingham
The Sheriff, not a pleasant sort 
Was learning of a bad report
About a soul, Who stood defiant
And swore an oath, to topple tyrants

Who once was noble, but now has strayed 
Hell bend upon his rebels ways
In Royal Forest, made a stand
Against the laws of Nottingham

The...

Einherjar
Another harsh Winter we must face
It Matters not, no one can escape Fate
Not Even The Gods
With Bravery we shall Stand Strong
In Care we shall advance onto Vigrid
Fenrir Will Lay dead
By Dawn's Perch

Trim Your Nails, to Prevent Naglfar
It's time to suit up; We Are The Einherjar
Protector's...

Your Accolade
In the summer of 1989, Keimona and Angelo were brutally gunned down on our San Fransico Estate.  I was shot in the left-chest and survived, but my parents died.  I was only seven years olded.
At the tender age of three I began rreading...

Sefiroth
Unphantomable His Kether or Yesod
Hidden in His Hod
Unconditional His Hesed
Unmatched Tipereth
Death was His Rahamin
His answer for Gevurah

Twas Only Ever For You
For, in love and adulation,
I hold in you with adoration.
And your eyes hold thy heart,
But feel fate tells you never part,
With any other, even the one that's her.
That love shall never be as it were.
For, whence I found thee, twas a night in the faire,
Filth...

Premium Member Vanishing point
Feeling a little cross
I gave out to god
For piling different shapes 
upon my hod
To think, we never had 
any future plan 
So made one up
with the home insurance man 

Anyway, I'm covered 
for a sudden leak
But excess is high
and outlook pretty bleak 
With water damage...

Saving the Cathedral 1
What counts as old?  Columbus paddling ashore
on Cuba?  Winchester Cathedral knocks
the Genoese out of his sodden socks,
for it was born four centuries before.

The longest nave in Europe.  Slender threads
of Gothic columns spring like strands of frost
and soar, as if to heaven, till...

Premium Member Happiness
When I awaken in the morning
And I do not feel a pain,
When my coffee pot is gurgling
I feel happiness again.

When I check with all my loved ones
And they’re just as well as I,
When my friends who have been ailing,
Say they’re better, my oh my!
I’m happy!

When...

Love
Once you find something to hold on to
You wont feel blue 

Love is something that people don't realize it can change your out look on life
And hopefully they become your wife

As long as you try 
You wont need to be shy

Once you try your guaranteed...

The remnants of August 2024 Hurricane Debbie
The remnants of August 2024 Hurricane Debbie

Like a humane huntress, she
(the anthropomorphized storm)
brought a spate of cool Autumn like
temperatures and gentle soothing rain
here within my neck of the woods
for the last couple of days.

No matter the fall equinox
and first day of autumn arrives
countless weeks from...

Work On a Building Site
Did you ever work on a building site,
And push and pull with all of your might.

Then walk in mud up to your knee,
And whistle at every girl you see.

Did ever carry a hod on your shoulder,
Then trip over a blooming great boulder.

Watched a crane move...
