Best Megaphones Poems

The eyes behind a head inclined reflect a universe

   Of shanty towns and kings in crowns and parties in a hearse,
   Of heaping mounds of coffee grounds and pennies in a purse,
   Of heart attacks in shoddy shacks, of...

Summer love, a man, a woman, conception, a new born 
Ring the bells, amplify megaphones, bugle the cow horn
 
The ceremony begins, baptism, cries, holy water 
From two one, family, father, mother, son or daughter
 
A priests blessings, proud grandparents, proud parents, birth anew 
Hospital...

A sodden dreg with wooden leg is dancing for a dime,

to sacred psalms and other balms, all ticking with the time.

He’s 22, he’s almost through, he’s melted in his prime,

his bane is firm, the canker worm dissolves his brain to slime.

With slanted scales and twisted...

I want to live in a world
Where people with substance abuse problems
can walk hand in hand with a community of friends
Because addictions as we know it is harder to fight through then it was for frodo in the Lord 
of the rings

I want to live...

“I WILL OBEY”


stack the legos
make the towers
bury the money
build the server
send the message
the dandelion’s on fire.

tonight,
the code goes out
the message is clear
the message is coded
the megaphones were charged.

walk the blueprint of my home
listen to the frying pan cry
the due date on the digital 
service bill...

Cant the world just get along,
War is dark and sad,
Your always so unsafe,
Just to walk out your front door,
Into smoke from guns and cannons,
With police yelling into megaphones,
"STAY INDOORS"

The sad, sad voices from mothers and kids,
Because there father die right in front of them,

Fear flowing...

Do you ever feel like –
You are being driven onto jagged rocks
By an unforgiving tide,
Searching for a refuge,
Searching for somewhere safe to hide?

Feel the world is spinning much too fast
And you are barely hanging on,
Like a vinyl record spinning out of control
And you don’t like...

oh but how those goddamned Atheists 
would not stop yammering away---
with their Darwin & their Evolution & their
want to live in the reality of a world in which 
human beings take responsibility for the lives that they lead
without pretending as if some deity was watching
without...

humpty has moved up to the wall &
all the kings horses, men, soldiers, fighter planes and drones
are focused on further strangling iran,
they are denying a palestinian state
they are backing the further settlements of israel
they are focused on running for the throne of the empire in...

A highlight of my grown-up life,
Before I was a mom or wife,
Was being one of those who cheered
On game days, when our teams appeared.

This was in high school, years ago.
The squad, unlike today’s, gone pro,
Was there to get the crowd enthused;
Exhilaration we effused.

Through megaphones we...

Mysterious Mumbo micron meanders most monochrome mornings
Merry Mickey monster makes mentionable mackerel marmalade
Michigans maleficent mayor maimed Mrs.Maryjane May Marlow
Mumbling meager monarch mumbles making Muncie memorable
Minute minions marched missing marshmallow marsh
Montana mistresses mixed millions, mincing megaphones
Marvelous misguided monkeys mimed minutemen,
Milly mistakenly met misogynist men making mincemeat
Marty’s...

You can’t hurt words.
Lord knows I’ve tried.
For years I tortured words,
twisted them, kicked them about.

For a time,
it was just me against words.
The more I hammered on them
the more they jumped back up
and mocked me.

There is a God of words.
He protects words from politicians,
lawyers and poets.
I...

Close to a scandalous ten thousand,
A reproach to the late Reverend Townsend;
All with their advertising megaphones,
And big dreams-nursing microphones …

In my town of domicile
With odds one can’t reconcile
Which I had some time walked miles
With my job-hunting files
That rather handed me victorious counts
Of how their number...

You pick a fight to live today,
You tell the time you saw the dreamed-of shore 
of an island, Gilligan,
Gentle wind at your cheek,
A kiss parting lips caress,
A day wide-eyed as a lamb,
But then the harrow got you.

So swing your partner, men sashay,
Sad to say I...

Lacking definitions
for glasses without bottoms,
we call them telescopes
or megaphones.  But still
they crawl down our throats
like silver centipedes
because we close our mouths open
at just the right time
and we spit up poems.

So who cleans up
the order?  Leaving it there
long enough, it will go away
or like...
