Best Lodge Poems

Satan over the years has been known for tricks and deception
Not only covering up what he is doing, but what he has done
One has to give him credit as he is very successful, but beware
He and his people are always looking for a new invention
And...

(A little poem written at a research station)

Adventurous cottagers challenge blue waters
They feel as homely as the gulls screaming ‘mine!’
With white sails they traverse the great blue horizon
Expanses of Canadian beauty – a shrine.

The waves they come crashing on limestone beaches,
With crustacean fossils from eons...

Still night broken by call of soul owl
watching over the lodge of my father's brother.
The next world awaits my uncle. 

His walking clothes prepared. 
His feather oiled to a brave sheen. 
Knife freshly sharpened in beaded sheath. 

He calls to owl. I'm ready. 
The women...

At dusk the Native and I
Went into the woods to gather
Sticks for starting the fire
For baptizing the sacred stones.

One limb I found inhabited
With crawling insects;
The Native said, "Put that one back.
Somebody lives there."

I realized I was a guest
Of the Natives and the woods....

I sat there in the Buffalo Seat
 
To hear from Spirits from which I seek
 
Knowledge, wisdom & forgiveness of sins
 
When I bared my soul to let them in
 
 
 Rocks, Water. In the dark sweating it out
 
Before my insides scream and shout
 
The first door opened blinding my eyes
 
But...

Giraffes at Animal Kingdom Lodge

A great, long neck had a tall giraffe;
And when I did see made me laugh;
Bent to drink,
Each neck link,
Always causing me to crack in half.

Jim Horn

Just got back home after 7 nights at
Animal Kingdom Lodge at Disneyworld....

YEW TREE LODGE - Story poem 

When I was young we had a local witch, or so they said.
Meg Reid at Yew Tree Lodge. That’s the legend we were fed
The lodge was dark and forbidding, away from the street light’s glare.
Surrounded by gnarled old yew...

The lodge its had its moments 
A real mix of good and bad
I can't pretend that leaving there 
Didn't really make me sad 

Departments everyday is tough 
But you try give it your all 
Then football on a Wednesday 
That's if we have a ball

The...

Welcome to the Lodge of Hope
A fine staff awaits your meeting
Courage and faith are introduced
As virtue upholds the greeting

Diagnosis for extended stay
Prep with knowledge of chemical war 
Reflecting on acquaintance familiar
My dear mom lodged here months before

Festive parties invite kind reception
Embrace found in song’s revelry
Catching...

neglected
        once lamented
now graffiti
          scrawled:
faded respectability
of
   yesteryear and
outdated
            taste:
now.  
     litter-strewn,
dusty

That’s’ what they do in Theo’s lodge:
All sorts of wrong papers forge;
There every nosing cop dodge,
Who’d rogues from hideouts disgorge…

In Theo’s lodge would hoodlums surge, 
Sweet crime at all times their urge;
There, new forms of it emerge;
When ‘This Sin and 'That' they merge…

So, from Theo’s...

Sparkling, scorching sandy sea stones
Slaving steaming sweaty, silky skin....

In somewhere in
Sure you have candy fabric lodge
Factory for the love
Within lips you supply syrup, love taste
With flavor of red
And sweet strawberry
That chocolate scent
Is that calls of the heart
That Breast of apricot sunny
Ripe and finest fruits of the summer
In fair duel with affection
Look to attention
Hazel...

(A sad lone voice whispers)

My old love 
Loved shaking her crow blacked hair 

As old daydreams tumbled around her
Like autumn leaves in the air 

On any given day or night 

Dreams of divinity
Of God and light 

Like the first thing you see when you close...

The month May had brought the hottest summer early                          
 Decided to go to our village cottage.   ...
