Best Judy Poems

Judy, Judy, Judy... Judy Konos is the one I mean
Not the famous Cary Grant quote, he uttered on the screen
In “Only Angels Have Wings”
His famous quote still rings
But Judy Konos is the one who makes my old heart sing

We were waiting to board a boat when I happened to be blessed
to come across a bench close by the ocean…
this bench was facing west.

With an inscription from a husband to his wife…
now obviously gone
It read ‘Judy, in “All Ways” the love of my life…

‘MY BROKEN HEART’
Poem to Richard Madeley and Judy Finnegan

Here is my heart, broken in two.
Because I lost my chance to appear with you. 
The greatest chance of my life, I’ve ever had,
To talk about my writing although it’s sad,
To meet denise again, the signed photo...

Bluebirds can't fly over the rainbow,
And I'll tell you something more;
The only avian species that can
Is the Andean Condor.

A chased rainbow is never caught.
Somehow, a rainbow's never "here".
The closer you get to the pot o'gold,
The rainbow moves or even disappears.

If I could fly over the...

Flying
Tribute to Judy Konos

She came from out of nowhere
like an angel in mid flight.
Crashing through the shadows
and shining like a light.

She challenged me to rise again
to dry tears from my eye.
She challenged me to spread my wings
and she taught me to fly.

Stranded in my shadows

Life is about a daily 'Act of Kindness' and that's all it's about.

You're bustling about in a grocery and happen to see a lady
whom you know is having a bad day so you stop! "WOW you're 
hair is beautiful.  I wish mine looked like...

Judy, dear Judy, are you the Punch and Judy, Judy
Did you fight with Punch for a small piece of foodie
D'ya get knocked in the eye
For a piece of cherry pie
I'm sure you could handle yourself, dear Judy Judy


(A dedication to my dear Judy Konos)

A little old lady named Judy,
Works hard to accomplish her duties.
She cooks and she cleans,
Runs errands, makes things,
For friends and for family outings.

Sometimes her arthritis flares up.
She can barely pick up a cup;
But she's no cry baby,
She's one tough old lady,
A hot bath and a...

How big you seemed, how bright your stage
how loud and funny, in my little boy's eyes 
you were larger than everyone else's life,
even a lifetime later, your memory still is

Those amazing vaudeville routines, with new
command performances for each gathering, 
were rehearsed in daily kitchen pantomimes
while...

Dame Judy Dench
Loves to fish for Tench
When she fixes her motor
She uses a wrench
If she’s feeling tired she sits down on a bench,
DJD is polylingual;
Her favourite language is French,
When she has a pooh in the morning
It causes a stench
DJD is a strong woman,
When Germans talk...

Dear Judy: 

 

As I scrolled anxiously through my inbox, flipping through needless letters, hoping for an answer,  

I suddenly realized that out of all the emails Ms. Blume receives, I was taking an awful heck of a chancer. 

 

And soon enough, there...

A struggling, obscure poet,
Wrote verse because she enjoyed it,
But form, she seldom employed it....

Judy, Judy, Judy
Thoughts of – thinking, I have to wonder ?

Time is slowly slipping – empty of – away.
Turning moments, lost – into hours- many a day.

Lost forever – only thoughts of what might be, stay
with this one, who had – once upon a time...

(A call for the lights to dim as a single spotlight illuminates the legend Judy Garland, who is center stage. She wears a faded housecoat as her beautiful, brandy brown eyes hold a lifetime of stories. She speaks directly to the audience, her voice a...
