Best Huzzah Poems

Edward Kenway was a pirate
He sailed the Spanish Main
He plundered British merchant ships
And the Galleons of Spain

Once he was a farmer
He walked behind the plough
But now he ploughed the oceans deep
He was a pirate now

He started as a deckhand
Till his bravery won through
Then he became...

Today is national happiness day,
Well would shout huzzah, hurray,
But suspicious of a happy ending,
And with "happily ever after's" pending,
Wish only for sweet equanimity today.

Serious Sibling Subluxation... 
Rapprochement Somewhat Salvaged Dislocation

This trademark ungainly, unsightly,
     and unwieldy title essentially

with Huzzah, but stood mute in proximity 
when ye didst call
in kitchen of century old stone 
mansion built and hall 

ways echo wing the absence sans pall
in droning sounds of silence, a squall
vacuumed a key per, a gal fairly tall
whose son now reflects how many...

That dormant feeling of insecurity arose,
when travel journal got thrust adjacent
     to my tattered (holey tattooed) clothes
while I knew with crossed eyes

Mark my word...
Das führer Donald Trump will return with a vengeance

Trump wracked up an impressive 
$122.00 million war chest
accumulating $82.00 million
merely proffering impish grin
between January and June of 2021;
now he sets his sites and will most likely aim
to garner coveted commander in chief come 2024,

on the road to Beverly
past Corfu, Smyrna 
a battered homestead
a rusting hulk
hot wind, dust
storming sky, raging river
how much better than backbiting and fear

contempt energizes above
a crack, the rip
bolt over the shoulder
Mother Nature's huzzah
then silence, crickets
soft wind
and the leaves sound like rain...

What's new with me...Matthew?

Well for starters Nationwide
road service emergency
one man cutting crew
with battery charger in tow knew
exactly why no juice (think electricity),
his hunch found trunk light kept lit,
an innocent looking (to me or you)

stuck out just enough did cue

You dwell in the shadow
of the prodigal.
You did before he left,
too, when he was away.
Now, he has returned
to joyous rapture.
Huzzah, huzzah; 
you shrink a little further. 

Though eagerly welcomed home
not all return reborn in penitence.
Some,
after taking in the seven sins,
come back; 
to hide among their...

My mother succumbed to a terminal illness
two score minus three orbitz passed away
no matter she fought tooth and nail
to keep ovarian/uterine cancer at bay
disease metastasized throughout major organs,
hence demise found grim...

i scream “Huzzah!”
as lightning rips across the sky
holding my breath in anticipation 
surely, thunder is to follow

innocents reek of trepidation 
in her wrath, daylight is swallowed
masses run for cover
before they’re consumed in deluge

this is “my” place of refuge
finding solace in her rage
her temper soothes me
she...

The glory of America, 
now heats up
with agitation poised 
to strike on the brink
sans legislation incites humiliation,
which goads desecration
 
as fete accompli chink
in armor of Democratic rubric, 
constituting capitalistic
ethic, generic iconoclastic, 
and jingoistic logic,
nor budging an inch 

when mandating masses 
swallow his drink
what huff huck...
