Best Mania Poems

Beatlemania (The Fab Four As Lovers)

Once a choir boy, John turned to romance,
Fell for Yoko almost at first glance.
In full public view 
In bed with her too -
Showed the world how to “give peace a chance.”

Quiet George played much more than guitar.
Lost his wife to...

we pressed our noses ‘gainst the restaurant glass
for we were just tossed out upon our ass
cuz we forgot our Covid vaccine pass
becoming citizens - now second class

a passerby informed us that our masks
were not up to their intended task
that we shouldn’t pass around our flask

Ooey, gooey, give me choc-o-lot!
If I must, I'll take it liquid hot,
But "wicked" like they fix it in Madrid,
Thick as porridge, satin sunburnt sweet.
(Not like here: sugar,milk and cocoa, mix and heat). 
Give me some hot chocolate I can eat!

Drip-drop-dripping from a spoon!
Give it -...

My pulse is high and the heart beats double punch
               Paul McCartney, George Harrison, John Lennon, Ringo Starr

When the fab four hit the floor
Back in the year of sixty four
We all would scream and shout
Now we wonder what it was all about
We bought the records one by one
Long discarded these discs now done
Songs that have come and gone
Sweet memories of a favorite...

Look at us, all lonely people
Tasting your words as seasons roll
For dreams are reborn glazed by fire;
When strings explode, plucked to inspire
As lines croon, throbbing sighs kindle.

Notes of vision unchain time’s riddle
Let it be, verse rocks in vigil
Guitars strumming peace on live wire,
Look at us.

Vaccine Maia

Oh, joy, the magic, potion is here!
To be injected in the arm, not my
derrière!

I am no fool to buy like eternal swishing via a potion.
This is sone magical health revolution.

I'd rather die, by God's voice.
Nor Big Brothers demanding choice.

Like worms is a fresh apple...

Have you ever touched the universe
And felt its power course through your veins?
Felt the alleviation of all your pain?

Have you ever woken up in the morning
And realized you were at the very center
Of all creation?
That everything happening to you
Had a simple explanation?

Have you held a...

	I’m humming along,

“Woe is me,” when football season closes
Crimson Tide lost in a sea of roses
     Tampa Bucs, Tide, Seminoles
     To “off” my remote just strolls
I’ll use TM for football osmosis

My Coach Bowden-signed football is glass-encased
How do I endure...

I Took my son on a trip to the zoo
There was so much for us to see and do
    One roar from the lion
    My son started crying
The trip was over I was scared to

Mania
	
	It’s a very sneaky thing, mania is. 
	I’m humming along, 
	probably minding someone else’s business, 
	giving little attention to my own state of being 
	when it slides in, mania does, 
	a message slipped under the door saying, 
	“Here I come. Are you ready?” 
	But I...

In mania, the body unbinds itself.
The skeleton’s dense marrow becomes hollow,
an avian adjustment. It is accelerated evolution.
Fluttering and floating in a slew of thoughts
like nervous wind chime chatter.

My brother blew in through the rattling gate
accompanied by October’s cruelest gale.
Eyes unwillingly wide, levered by a crowbar
his...
