Best Legends Poems

Great are his exploits
honour and rank
he's celebrated
he's immortalized
He's fondly recalled
Back to memory

The great legends of Old.. 
Great Chief Waiyaki wa Hinga..
Aged nine he killed a lion
with his bare hands...
When the imperialist came.. Waiyaki..
Raised a huge Army armed with bows and arrows

Testing the might of the...

'O starry night ----
  with the soul of the world in your silver eyes,
  I came with nothing this ancient trek,
  this aged morsel, I am;
  and found you crowning the misted moon....
  and pale-lit the swooning shadows this eve,

Jimi's groovy guitar leaps
Psychedelic anthem beats
Certainly a broader reach
Than what banal mainstreams seek

Janis sang in passion rough
Too much for the upper crust
Voice of insistence and rush
Love songs with a gritty touch

Jim's strange Doors opened destined
Music of scant time's lessons
Fallen stars burn in legend
Breathless at twenty-seven

A pact has been made
No feasting on human blood

Urban legends: The They

My grandmother always believed 
When one watches t.v.,
there‘s an unidentified they inside
Watching you back, as they spied
in your house, on your habits, straight through your privacy
Who is this they engaging in domesticated piracy? 

At first, we just discounted it like the dollar...

Pigskin laying on our 40
And snow is hitting hard
The only warmth you feel
Roar from a heated crowd
This is not what we want
3rd & long, 1 point down

20 seconds left to score
The game we won't forget
C'mon go, green and gold
Give us all another Leap
We can't bear...

In the heart of Wales beneath shade of trees
In world's stillness relieving in pages 
Of bloom gardens as playful fairies tease
Shape-shifting wizards man of the ages 

Caught a top of a fire breathing dragon
Charm the beast my passion, have it happen 
Eye people pulling their...

Everybody knows that most urban legends are a bunch of folklores or whatever, especially Bigfoot (aka: “Sasquatch). Urban legends are the only ones that people have been talking about since the beginning. It seems that these unknown events have been keeping people guessing for years...

Fall; somewhere up north

The elders gather the children together in a tent,
      to pass down the teachings of the Ojibwe culture;
through fables, legends, myths, songs and dance,
                to...

Written upon hearing of the passing of a fellow Alabamian.

When Legends Die

Nelle died today
And left behind
A legacy
Which shall endure
As long as words
Can still be read
And characters
Be drawn upon
To wake the souls
And hearts of men
To stand up for
A clear-cut cause
Which contradicts
The status quo
While quietly
Inspiring hope
And though...

Yea, victors jest. They out-sped the cast of hunger’s cave.
Their cantors, ragged kept, did reach an faithful end.
They in the din o’ drizzle laugh, licking cool drams from stone,
as had they crawled o’er hot pools bled to prod ‘n prattle.

And who’d, when quenched, a saunter...
