Best Houston Poems
Houston We Have a Problem"When returning love, becomes to Late"
Fantastic,
From her eyes
His name the name
She mumbles silently
3 rivers, 3 years, 2 many tears
She loves him endlessly
Sending her soul
A free feeling,
Finally, he fell
Engaging, equal to the spell
Morning, mountains and more
Move across a new age moon
His heart happily
Traveling...

HoustonHouston
I wonder if the summer rain was warm
that poured like Pharaoh’s plagues upon the town
as people waded from their homes in swarms
and small craft was the mode to move around.
Memories lost by tempest's hurt and harm
float pass as muddy waters flood the ground.
The summer rain...

Ottava rima
Echoes From HoustonFrom the wild western plains, I call unto thee my sister of the poetic heart,
Where have thee gone, swallowed whole by a desert storm, or lost amongst
The tumble weed of discontent.
Let the blazing heart of Texas yield thy freedom’s liberation, come home to
The pages of...

Monster Rears It's Ugly Head On HoustonMonster Rears It's Ugly Head On Houston
To Houston's victims whom suffered the wrath
Of Hurricane Harvey's brutal path
The country prays for your full recovery
A fortuitous bounce of serendipity
Long live life, liberty and pursuit of happiness
In the wake of the worst storm in US history
Trump and cousin...

Whitney Elizabeth Houston: Gone Too SoonA Tribute to a beautiful Lady with a beautiful soul...
A melodious voice was her forte
With perfect range she could sing anything
From nursery rhymes to R & B love songs
She rendered each one with perfect pitch
Her voice seemed to sparkle; as clear as a bell
Thrilling...

Kathy Pike-HoustonAutumn leaves are falling
as I look back on life.
Never thought I'd live this long
through the trouble, toil and strife.
The road has been a rocky one
mostly scary, dark and grey
and God sure had to carry me
many times along the way.
As I watch the wind blown leaves
tossed...

Houston, We Have a PersonBecame so fat he floated away
"Who the heck is that?", they'll say
Too much pizza, ice-cream, and pop
Parents should have told him to stop!
Five-hundred pounds of blubber
So much for land-lover!
Someday he will orbit Earth
So much for what exercise is worth!
If you eat too much be like...

I'll always love you
Waiting to exhale to
the news of losing you,
now how will I know
the greatest love of all?
It's not right but it's ok
cause your love has
saved the day as today
you've left us in heart-
hotel but didn't we almost

Ashtin and Houston Spend a Day Off From School With MawmawAt 11 am I pulled into their drive
Ashtin and Houston ran out of the door
Screaming and laughing, ready to ride
Going with me wherever we please
First to the bank, for a little cash
Our next step meeting Rodney
Their wonderful dad, my loving son
Shoney's for lunch, still more...

A Melancholy Ride In HoustonOn the streets of endless progress,
past the suburbs of delight,
We drive through matchless wonders,
of steel and glass and light.
The hunger is infectious,
you can feel it in your veins:
the will to thrive at any price—
go on and break your chains!
Fortunes have been made here,
the path is...
