Best Nate Poems

There once was a lad named Nate
Who in the spelling bee did participate
But the audience did blush
As poor Nate got flush
After failing to spell constipate...

I do not understand just how it could be wrong,
for Americans to have Health Care in order to be strong?

To assure each one of us "You'll receive a decent wage"
work hard, save money eradicate inner rage

We've come so far, ignoring the threats of war
but admit,...

I am dreaming
I am fantasizing
On how I want to put them in your face
Oh! Nate, my fate,  
they are a set
I use for bait.
Just sit down,
have some coffee.
No need to talk,
tell me if you like what you see
Give me the wrong look,
and I will...

Sometimes things don’t work out as planned
not that Nate planned it, such is basketball love
and strong are the threads of the basketball net. 
He hooped all summer, sweating on outdoor court 
before moving to school gym through fall and winter
knowing he was good but must...

I once dated a suave pirate named Nate
He said his dates never had a complaint
Asked me if he could
Show his treasured goods
But seeing more than his gold made me faint

Singing
With tears 
In your eyes
As you stared at me
With the most caring gaze.

Your childhood
Sung in sweet lyrics,
They lingered in my ears
As my throat began to tighten
With sadness.

What's that, dear?
Your parents beat you?
Never a word spoken 
To anyone?

It made you a better man?
No dear,
It caused horrid...

Torrential rain  

stabs at the ground as

I stand here still wearing shock 

like a soldier in

war torn uniform

So recent was


the surgery that


removed

your lifeless body from mine

leaving me newly

without you

My wound fresh


my mind dazed

from blood soaking battle

I hear the Rabbi speaking

and see your

little

pine

coffin

as it is...

Hurricane Harvey landed his punches to the left of me
Irma struck with fierce winds and rain; havoc on my right
I escaped the wrath of those hellions ~ now there's Nate.

Nate formed in an unusual area, not known for brutal storms,
but he's coming for a visit...

Spontaneous Tate and Procrastin Nate, 
brothers getting ready for a special date.

Tate said “Nate, there's lots to do.”
Nate said, “Yes, I know! Just worry about you!”

Tate said “Nate, oh my, just look at the time.”
Nate said “Hey man, it's on my mind!”

Tate...

Thomas Nate Turner only knew gloom
For "TNT" there was not much room
If one mistake
He was to make
Then he just might fall down and go BOOM!...

A Poem For Kristen and Nate

The boys they all loved her
A real Southern Peach.
They wined her and dined her
But she was out of their reach

Ambitious and pretty
She reached for the stars.
But deep in her psyche
She carried some scars.

Life's full of surprises 
It's  part of...

This is the story of Norm and Nate, 
And Hank Williams, the great balladeer,  
And what was to be their horrible fate 
As they spun on this rotating sphere.

Nate the needle played hits on a platter, 
Spinning the sad songs Norm had made him.
Norm,...

Aye, aye! Said the Captain, who spoke on his date, 
He spoke on his date to his very first mate, 
His very first mate, the lady Miss Tate, 
The very first lady to say he was great! 

Yes, yes, my dear Captain, whose first name...
