Best Kopp Poems
Giving when you could
Take more than you ever would
Behave as you should
By Robb A. Kopp
. Mr. Kopp flies his Kappa kites on nights with
kaleidoscope skies. Lying
on a knoll Mr. Ks’
dreamy eyes
are mesm erized
as his keel pulls from
where his body lies.
kites scrapping the night
become kappa knights
ridding kangaroos against
storm filled cloudy skies.
Clouds were shaped like
steamy kettles filled with
kappa brand ketchup covering
kamikaze curly styled French-fries
She walks silently through the mist.
The headstones reach out to grab her.
She searches for her grave.
No, it doesn't say Raven, not yet anyway,
But it does hold her heart and her soul.
Her child, small and helpless without a mother.
Her husband, alone, unable to be comforted in her arms.
She runs now, afraid she will never find it.
Finally she sees the marble monument,
She sits down on the grave.
Her fingers tracing the words,
Names etched in the hard stone for all eternity.
She struggles again with her decision.
Will others think her a coward or a hero?
Does it matter at all what they think?
At last, she makes her decision,
Tears stream down her face as she raises the pistol,
And sends it flying into the mist.

For the Contest "Among the Dead"
Enchanted sequins move with laser precision
Sensationally choreographed pyrometrics dance
Mystifying wingless flight of earthbound spirits
Steadily intensifying blurred colors streak by
Blades defy gravity suspended on breaths

Bright and intense hues
Breaching through Earths fertile womb
Strewn upon the tombs

Pumping black blood
Sea life falls dead with a thud

Eco Thunder
Got me horse on the footpath ,
Old Thunder ain’t lightening quick,
Keeps me lawn a mowing down,
And leaves me them manura bricks.
Has his nosebag chaff n oats,
Oats for power is the trick,
Good company in the house,
Chomped the rug a little bit.
Have me Aussie Kneepad saddle,
Pads to keep you in a bit.
Don’t need protection, horse on guard ,
To kick n bite and strike halfwits.
Cheap to run at half a gallop,
Don’t jig jog the natural gait,
Aussie horses walk ,trot, canter,
Less kidney trouble old mate.
Horses had homing control,
Took the drunkards home with care,
If you got lost in the horse paddock,
Let him take you home ,
yes you’d get there.

Flip and flutter butterfly
Like a tissue in the sky
Flying through the air so high
When it rains do you stay dry
Drip and flutter butterfly

Horses are in oblivion
Preferred man-friendly animal since evolution
Today, bit lost in mechanised, chip oriented revolution
Important weapon in Bronze Age ancient wars
Utilised by ancestors as domestic transporter
But now restricted to official events splendour
And few sporting events, races, competitive glamour
And royal weddings, yoked to adorned buggies grandeur
Horses shall be back in recognition
With rising global warming concern
With Oil prices not expected to lessen
Antiquated horse carts demand shall be of high order
Benefits galore, herbivorous help sustaining on grass fodder
350 degree excellent day-night vision, energy reservoir
Capable of resting in short naps in standing posture
Horseshoe, saddle, bridle, rein only accessories major
Horse carts with no carbon emissions
Saddle, hooves sans honking and pollution
No ignition, start-up fuel consumption
No requirement of spark plugs, engine oil can
No seat belts, air bags for protection
Man put blinders on horse for concentration
But are themselves blinded by mad race of globalisation, liberalisation
Man need to put the blinders on self–consumption
Be judicious, avoid ostentation to keep in check carbon emissions
Switch to horse cart, use killer vehicle only in emergent situation
Today horses are oblivion
If ignored concerns for eco-friendly environ
Tomorrow mankind could be in oblivion

Fishy smelling meat
Hot tangy juices dripping
A pinch of the tail

fall leaves in a rake
In a scorching summer’s wake
delicate snowflake
