Nobel Autumn
Nobel autumn.


Rustling winds expose your frame,
To cold, damp and dreaded name.
Wind scars slash at dying summer,
Rain re-echo’s the little drummer.
Middle aged gnarled to aching spur,
Boorish zephyr chills a dreaded allure.

 Stooped, naked, shamed to despair,
You gather your strength. Send a flare.
Of gold, ochre, saffron flames...

NOBEL PRIZE WINNER?

Nasal, sand paper gritty voice.
Why did he win the poetry Nobel?
“The answer my friend” may be
“blowin’ in the wind.”

What were the Swedes thinking
when they voted, what were they on?.
 Probably sat around 
 saying
“everybody must get stoned.”

Some probably opposed the vote
How could it...

Waiting For Nobel
With the brain, body and behaviour
Of a young boy, 
I was standing in a hollow hall,
Continuously staring  the art
Of a young artist in free verse,
On the front wall.

Finding the same category
Between us,
I said, “Hi”
And suddenly 
All walls replied back.
Is it any sci-fi?

I discovered
That walls...

You had the mind for art and science,
 shared business interest with your father,
 not broken even when you lost your brother –
 will to achieve by work inspired.
 
You built a fortune and empire,
 busy yet lonely in affairs.
 Metaphysical reality

The Cow Nobel Prize Mystery
THE COW NOBEL PRIZE MYSTERY

How come more cows
Don’t win Nobel prizes
And trophies of different sizes
With questions of why s and how s ?

It’s not the size of their feet
Nor their horns nor their udder
Nor  the lack of an intellectual rudder
Which makes them easy to...

Nobel Lionized Matriarchy
Freely forming metrical mainstays
poetic occasion to phrase
the fairer and gentler sex,
thus the following turns of phrase
to bestow acknowledgement

regarding wonderful wise ways
of collective she who assays
to create safe/secure home/ hearth
as bedrock and fount of ample
maternal duties tiredly sashays

with keeping house receiving praise
the second Sunday each May,...

Nobel Prize To a Noble
Nobel Prize to a Noble 



Sometimes it will happen
as the rain in summer
Sometimes it will happen
as the pearl in the oyster
Today it has happened
as a wonder of this world
Greatness has been bestowed
on a man of noble intentions
 
Controversy is never new,
it is older than human;
but...

Nobel Prize Can Surprise
Grand Citations of The Still Sober
In Neared Radios of Fresh October
And one had in mind a Graham Greene
But - Lo! - Some Newly Discovered Being:
“Greene had a bit got sensational,
 His rejection not intentional.

But-Sorry-Rubber Bullets of Fun

Premium Member A Case For the Nobel Peace Prize
To President Trump a special thanks :  
for pulling old glory from Syria's chemical maze
for bringing rocket man to the negotiation table
perhaps making the 38th parallel just a little more stable.
Thanks for fighting for all the babies embattled in the womb
for pulling peace, through...

Bob Dylan and the Nobel Prize
Whatever happened with Bob Dylan and the Nobel Prize?
I remember it vaguely, for I was sailing afar
There was no response when the announcement was made
Just silence, with the door left ajar

Bob won the Prize in 2016
Or so they said up in Sweden
But where was Bob...
