Best Moscow Poems

"I follow the Moskva
and down to Gorky Park-
listening to the winds of change" - Scorpions

All the heads of state and their spouses (or significant others) have arrived and been seated for this, my last show at Gorky Park, here in the heart of Moscow. For...

Moscow is not in Russia.
It’s a town in Tennessee.
It’s full of trees and flowers
and shops for you to see.
We have industry and commerce
although we’re a small town,
and some people come to visit
but wind up hanging ‘round.
Others go shopping in our fair town square
while some come...

Such a heavy rain
Where is my mom and dad am 
scared
As I woke I locked my windows
Never having in mind of such 
rain

Cold feet and hands with shocks 
and gloves, with phones 
chatting friends on the couch
The skies are heavy but we 
never felt any...

MOSCOW SHOP GIRL’S ANGER

Never knew quite what wind blew up her skirt
Maybe the way I dressed or my shoe’s unbrushed  dirt
Like a woman scorned, her fury knew no bounds
Like when the fox has successfully eluded the hounds
The tongue-lashing was the first salvo in her...

powdery snow-drenched
coldest in seventy years
eyes frostbitten from hot tears

frozen mustaches
stalactites dripping with chill
million ruble lunch to thaw...

Mitch McConnell believes in fair play
Just as long as it all goes his way
There is no fact
Mitch can't redact
Or Donald J. Trump will make him pay!...

'twas very many years ago
On a train to ancient Moscow:
A man on the back row quietly sat,
Like a rat hiding from a ferocious cat.
Slow-and-steady the wheels rolled
(On that winter night very cold,)
As the erstwhile where he sat mute,
Stared at a figure before him so cute.

And...

And all the world would change forevermore,
for solitude’s content has come undone.
Its island bliss could harbor it no more  
as destiny unleased the rising Sun.
The sleeping giant woke to see its rays
unfurl their wrath upon its harbor gate.
They struck with stealth, setting it ablaze
and...

It caters to an arrogance of hate
when war becomes a method of despite.
Through vile contempt, he seeks to cultivate
a dogma that defines inhuman blight.
The devil’s plan has given due consent
to let annihilation be the goal.
Let hands be clean, let hearts bear no lament
as slaughter tends...

Growing Glitch in Moscow Mitch

What we found was a growing glitch, 
That would appear in Moscow Mitch;
Chews his cud;
Real dumb dud, 
Then it tight together he must stitch.

Moscow 

The winter sun, the sense of the cold season!
Heavy snowfall was closing the window of my car.
Tire sounds echo in the tracks of the road.
Confidence sound effect.
The noses of the traffic cops on the highway were in shades of pink.
The view from the hotel's...

“Let’s Ban War”

Have your ever thought
About banning war?
How much better we
All would be
If we just banned war?

So much more we could do.
We could buy food
And clothe the poor.

We could chase butterflies
Around in a Zoo.
Look at monkeys
That looked like you.
There is so much we could do,
If...

Watercolor Cat, Watercolor Cat,
You are the most wonderful Watercolor Cat I have ever could dream about,
And I wonder, my friend Watercolor Cat, and admire you perplexed and mesmerized,
Tell me, how you know and how you do that you stand up straight and mastered this dignifying...

destined sacredness in the red of the blood,
intertwined shoots from the wisdom of redemption:

- Woman,
no one has ever trusted us more than the good God,
he entrusted us with all his love, with the seed of the worldly fruit,
by his favor we find delight,

- Man,
no one...
