Best Maryland Poems

Our Robin’s nest on twenty-eighth bayside,
strung like the Kite’s Loft display.
Free and now flowed with the tide,
as we watched the sunrise of each day.

Center courts of youth and bouncing Penns
pushed full throttle jet skis into romances.
The moon lit footprints in amends,
as Hope laid us down...

Maryland says a big hello and 
welcome in many ways, whether you
come for a month, week, or just the 
day.

Americas largest estuary, with 
towering Cypress trees makes you 
want to take a deep breath and find 
your harmony.

Restful views from surrounding 
waters, from the bay...

Memories of Maryland

I woke up in a pleasant dream
with unfamiliar sights at hand
so far away from my known land.

A wooded forest by a stream
and all around the rolling hills,
my weary mind, with comfort fills.

The air about with nature teems
as birds, their soothing songs, display,
and deer...

What do you do with road kill
Dispose of it you say
So how does one dispose of it
There is always the Maryland way
You see Maryland picks up road kill
To keep their roadsides clear
And turns it into compost
Mainly made of deer
Bodies are placed in wooden bins
Wood chips...

(Land that doth marry mother lode 
of sublime earthen land and sea).
 
Age of exploration 
   ushered cruel fate 
   against “red” men living 
   in bliss by agents

   patch of eden north

Antietam Creek, Maryland

Antietam was fought on Maryland ground
at the foothills of Appalachia.
There McClellan, Lee and Jackson were found
with troops from Potomac and Virginia.

McClellan shrewdly, saved some of his men,
while Lee sent the entire army forward.
Does blood cry out as the withered grass bends?
Should they be...

Poetry professors sit casually and will look at you with an unlit pipe in their hand
Poetry professors will tell you your ideas mean something and that you should speak up more
Poetry professors will write you a note with your hand written end-of-term grade on it

is it goodbye too?
Jim Link fought the valiant fight
in and for poems, and friends (me);
first Grady Dorsett
and now it is Christmastime
So tarry, 'til I fly "home"...

The British had stumbled
in Boston the year last,
but came again for vengeance bold
to bleed freedom, damage untold,
with fire and with blast.
To New York their ships sailed
thirty thousand men strong,
and Washington, on islands spread,
awaited their coming with dread,
with his militia throngs.

Twenty thousand untrained souls,
armies came right...

There was a dame from Westminster,
Who lived her life as a spinster.
She was old and gray,
Yelled at cats all day,
And that is why no one missed her....

He never liked "Bob" - now a success
So Robert Croslin he is
Raise in Baltimore ("projects")
His mom (Aurelia) is grandma to my kids
His only son, a lawyer in DC
In his own right, now elected
Mayor of Hyattsville! (Praise God)
Once, my "good" eye-doctors place
Where I volunteered for its...

I
My two daughters love Two States
Two ways, at least
They love Maryland & Virginia
They love English and Spanish
They love their dad and Mom
They love Democrat & Republican as American
They know the Constitution didn't make Parties
They Know G. Washington warned Parties
Divide anation, when electing should take best...
