Best Nominations Poems


Premium Member Star Trek's Star: Captain Kirk Aka William Shatner

Captain Kirk, an adventurous guy,
flew through galaxies beyond earth’s sky
on an old sci-fi show
which was canceled although
crazy fans would not let Star Trek die!

First for having the Captain Kirk name,
William Shatner achieved certain fame.
Illusions can shatter;
though older and fatter,
Shatner still is a STAR all the same!

* William Shatner earned both a Golden Globe and an Emmy for his quirky
role as Denny Crane and Emmy nominations until the end of the series
Boston Legal. Also he appears on numerous comedy and tv shows, does 
cameos, interviews, conventions, commercials, twitter, and book writings
and has a star on both the Hollywood and the Canadian Walk of Fame.

Premium Member Three Davids I Have Known

David the First

In an old photo
I’m being bathed by a boy
   looking quite bashful. . .
the first young man to hold me -
my mother’s only brother.

David Bunker

My first love note came
from junior high’s smartest guy -
   shy freckled David,
future doctor of acclaim.
For one month I had his heart.

David Williams

Our poet at Soup -
like the one of Bible times 
   whose psalms soothed a king -
touches us with modern verse
and blesses us with friendship.


(As I went to enter the contest, I noticed I was supposed
to write of only one famous David. Well, I don't know the famous
ones like i know these three. In a way, my middle one is famous. 
I just googled him and saw he was on the short list of nominations
for a prestigioius award naming most honorary of all students who
 ever graduated from my high school! and of course, our own
 David Williams is famous at SOUP!!)


The Octomom

The Octomom
OR - What I Learned On The Web today 

The Octomom now is giving out thanks
For a film that she made without even spanks
Award nominations now number four
For a film where she showed off a bit then some more
It’s a **** film the mother of 14 released
And her public exposure has once more increased
The mother’s a lost cause as we all have seen
My worries are all on the other fourteen

Premium Member Pipe Dream

The team of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein displayed prowess.
It seemed everything they produced would be a success.
There was triumph for some Broadway shows nobody could deny.
They included “Oklahoma”, “State Fair”, and “The King and I”.
Two more melodious plays that were absolutely terrific
were the widely-heralded musicals “Carousel” and “South Pacific”.

Along came an attempt based on John Steinbeck’s novel “Sweet Thursday”.
The plot was set in the California town of Monterey.
“Pipe Dream” opened on Broadway in 1955.
Many also expected this production to thrive.
Despite receiving nine Tony Award nominations,
for this musical, the critics had some reservations.
Problems resulted, and the show was a financial flop.
After only about seven months, they decided to close up shop.

However, some renewed interest has evolved into a revival.
It looks as if this show may yet experience survival.

I thank wikipedia.org online encyclopedia for information I obtained to write this poem.

Disability Advocacy

It's funny how one might look down upon disability
And not regard it as an integral part of the society 
Only for then to realize that in us still lies the ability
To cast a vote, and take part in changing the society 

Cause a vote once casted takes its own cause 
And a vote doesn't have a disability
So it counts and when it's cast it sets out a course
In the many numbers that would want accountability 

Many times for the sake of image in politics
Disabled might get the limelight
And show people how they care about us in their tricks
To get votes but still our plight won't be given the light 

We've seen how for just being differently abled
One is not seen as a worthy candidate 
Instead told to wait it out, cause we labeled 
Labeled as people who get in through nominations to date 

Yet we can stand and chant out our slogans
And come up with better policies for us
But the same hierarchy of government organs
That claim to support our status, are still not working for us 

And to date, we still facing discrimination 
But we still keep voting for change
Voting in a better government for the good of the nation
So that one day, we as the persons with disability feel the change

Premium Member Smokin' Joe Bonamassa

(Edited; I had left out a line)
Smokin’ Joe Bonamassa

What’s in a name? Well, I think a last name
like Bonamassa sure sounds really cool.
This guy I’d never heard of has some fame!
He learned to play by 4, and not in school,
and then by twelve, the kid was opening
for a concert! Can you imagine that?
To open for a great like B. B King!
So young was he to be such a cool cat!
With 15 albums, pride he must have had
to get three Grammy nominations. Wow!
To sing with Clapton made him very glad.
It was his dream! So what’s he up to now?
Recording with Beth Hart he’s had success 
The British Blues sure taught him to impress!

For Robert James Liguori's 'Joe Bonamassa Inspiration 3' Poetry contest

She

She who walks in devastation of her own
confrontation, in relations to the upsets of
immoral motivation.
Clueless is she to the law of lifes nominations, 
Complications in her search for the right
denominations.
Others denounce her will
Always trying to steal a deal, 
Yet actions of her kind will oneday get her
killed.
Greed is the scene of ones own being, 
Pressing the issue's of wanting and needing a certain
kind of bling.
Clink-Clink, 
Sounds of a big steel door, 
With shakles dragging to the floor, 
So sore from leaving the bricks for the upcoming
war.
The war is near no end.
She reflex back knowing she has no other friend
yet, not trying to bend, 
Fighting a battle she can not win.
She's holding a lost key, 
Trying to unlock the door of reflextion she knows as
She....

Senate To Win It

10 29 08

Senator Obama said it's time for a change
While Senator McCain lashes out about his age
Obama's cool-calm and collected
He never let's his opponent see him break a sweat
Athough McCain says that he's still a babe and not ripe enough yet
Obama has proven over and again that he way pass getting his feet wet
McCain is disturbed when his buttons are pushed out of whack
Obama shows no remorse toward his actions 
When he brings up the issues at hand and what they lack
He wears well the intelligence, experience and education of his well thought out plan
Senator Obama believes in his heart of hearts that God is the true leader of our land
But no matter what McCain tries to reek havoc on 
His feed back on issues are always so weak and bland
McCain has shown us what he’s made of when he agreed with President Bush, OH MAN!
He shows his emotions outwardly, he expresses himself in bodily ways
He’s a republican leader that went along with our present leader, by continuing having our 
innocent troops fight in someone else’s war
How misguided and divided, how much more disappointment is in store
From the same nominee, the man that wants to introduce more taxes to the senate floor
Mr. Obama’s stripes while debating has never ever changed, and the majority of cities cast 
their nominations on him, they bet
He’s cool as a cucumber he has never let McCain get to him at least not on T.V. yet
Mr. McCain is part of the old school rule that harps on wisdom before age
But did he and all the others ever contemplate on Dr. King’s dream, 
the same vision that  President Elect Barrack Hussein Obama envisions today
He’s not enraged, it’s not a radical issue or a self proclaimed fact
It’s about the best man for the job to run our country that’s failing 
Because of the know how that all others lacked
Both of our candidates have different views about fixing all the mess in the 
White House Wing
But free at last-free at last is what all of the heaters should sing.

Premium Member Vespers At Dream Cafe

It was approaching sunset
displayed boldly across red sky west
as I entered Dream Café,

Time for candle lit vespers and incense
which I feared would be more personal nightmare
than political dream.

I came to this Café,
for the first time,
because our Democratic Town Committee
was nominating candidates for Mayor
and City Council
and School Board
right after silent and sung vespers
here inside a DreamCafe
on BenFranklin's wisdom street.

I had been warned.
All those inside this Dream
each day at sunset
begin to smile with gratitude
and to pray
for multiculturing grace
to grow together.

This felt like a strangely inappropriate way
to fulfill Democratic trust commencements
so I was prepared to include my dismay
in my review
for next News delivery day.

Lights dimmed
along rose-hued
rough-cut walls
as candlelight began to come our way
through mists of frankincense in sway
and lavender,
orange and lemon oils
worked into handmade chairs
and cherry tables,
maple walls and oak-grained floor;
Incense burners on display
quieting louder sounds of fading AnthroPlay.

I had been warned
about this poly-creolizing array
to begin with a peace poem read
or sung
and, if a favorite of cooperatively gathered patrons,
then others might join in
sometimes swelling cadence
and harmonic rhythms
like I Have A Dream!
repeating what we've come to sacred share.

And so it was a well sung love song
for Earth,
of Earth,
and all Her EarthSoul Tribes
with and in harmonic sway.
Thanksgiving for sacred dawns
and dusks,
and all FirstForest creatures
and creations in-between,

And even nightmare absence of DreamCafes
for those still longing to belong
here,
where we are together planted,
here as now co-dreamers
of silent echoes
for just one solidarity moment
before reflecting voices
begin to stand
and sing fertile flowing anthems.

Voices speaking of love they heard
and felt this warm moist day
in Spring,
and who has come to mind
among WiseElders and Adolescents assembled
and nearby
here this dusky day
to rise above our sometimes polarizing fray.

And this
to my surprise
was how vespers invited nominations
for how best to continue ending our vespered day
for all who enter
this grace-filled DreamCafe,
and those nearby
eager to read all about it
come next NewDawn's greeting way.

A Person Can Learn

A person can learn,
Through his eyes.
Through his ears,
Through his tongue.

A person can learn,
Through his knowledge,
Through his experience,
Through his dedications.

A person can learn,
Through his lies
Through his tries
Through his smiles.

A person can learn,
Through his discussion,
Through his appreciation,
Through his contribution.

A person can learn,
Through his willings,
Through his feelings
Through his healings.

A person can learn,
Through his divinations,
Through his relations,
Through natural creations.

A person can learn,
Through his divisions,
Through his multiplications,
Through adding subtract nominations.

A person can learn,
Through his behaviour,
Through his clavier,
Through his diver.

A person can learn 
Through his essences,
Through his menses,
Through his hunches

A person can learn,
When he needs,
When he feeds,
When he teased.

A person can learn,
When he walks,
When he talks,
When he mocks

A person can learn,
When he faces,
When he races,
When he traces.

A person can learn,
When he tears,
When he fears,
When he cheers.

A person can learn
From up and downs,
From different crowns,
From different mourns.

A person can learn,
If he is willing to learn, 
If he has jealous burn,
If he wants a turn.

Premium Member The Wormhole Wore a Waistcoat


She entered unannounced; no bell, no brass. The aperture, a bureaucratic lapse in Nature’s accounting, permitted transit for the curious, not the wise. Through corridors of warped conjecture, she drifted—unclaimed luggage of a thought experiment. Each particle bowed with procedural discipline; each law maintained protocol under duress.

The stars retracted their nominations, preferring anonymity to metaphor. Black holes enacted fiscal policy on mass—levying inertia, taxing spin. She met a moon citing Schopenhauer on surface gravity’s despair. The Queen of Vacuum—resigned—filed formal complaints against causality’s etiquette.

No refreshments were served. The Hatter’s discourse, though uninvited, continued: “Time is a misprint. Tea was never meant for relativists.”

Just as Alice prepared to file a motion against entropy’s indiscretions, a frequency—unreasonable yet familiar—pierced the vacuum. It had no spatial coordinates, no signature of mass, only a moral urgency disguised as a maternal summons.  “Alice—Alice—school,” it said.
The voice, inertial and wan, did not beckon—it cross-examined her presence.

And just like that, the wormhole relinquished custody. Space, stripped of metaphor, unspooled around her as the stars began to forget their own biographies.  She awoke amid textbooks and sky-colored sheets. Time resumed its typographical error.

cosmos without name—
even gravity forgets
how to hold its breath

Thanks To All

Kelogb 10 (6-7-6)

You are the genuine ones 
That make this seems to be fun
Till the last one be done 

Let's say you are not there 
Who would have got me cheered 
Makes it meaty and clear 

Either short or long tide 
We turned each of all glide 
With every write replied 

Beautiful rains in heart
All promotes the love of art 
To stress themes imparted 

And learn more style to solve 
Knowing what it all involve
Nominations revolve 

Congratulations all 
That are mentioned for its call 
To take it up and ball

Am sorry for the pick 
That appears to be a kick
Most come in awing clicks 

I value all your likes 
From all wonderful live tikes 
All are good and cool strikes 

Thanks! thanks! dear friendly fans 
Trip along me as I span
Kelogb twenty days' plan

May your writes live for time 
And reach for the world's top crime 
For all to be sublime
