Best Oklahoma Poems

Oklahoma just passed an executive order
About the obvious disorder
Of letting men break through the border
Called a women’s bathroom door
Which has always been there for
Keeping out men and furthermore
Those who are men no more

Oh, some may scream, ‘where are their rights?
They’re out there fighting the fights,
To...

Warm mud between toes

She was a freckled faced child who 
dreamed of being loved...
He was nothing but a heartless bastard who hated
everyone, especially us.
She was the protector of her sisters and
stood up to him as tears rolled down her 
angel face...
His day of reckoning came one sweltering 
Oklahoma...

In a pile of leaves 
Made into a bed
Under a tree 
You lay down your head

To stare at the sky 
And dream of a day 
The river will flow
And take you away 

So gentle the stream 
So calm the air 
And muddy the water 
That...

A deluded and deranged miscreant.
Rode in a rented Ryder truck,
Sadistically opposed to his government,
He delivered a two-ton bomb.

After parking the fateful vehicle,
With time fleeting and fuses lit,
He fled to his car,
Parked, not far away.

Hearing the explosion, he made his escape,
With a gleam in his eye.
One...

In the wee hour before customers came to call,
Groceries came to life and had a Cinderella ball.
"Je'taime," purred the french toast to the frozen peas,
"Oh quit your fast talk. I'm southern, If you please."

The peanut butter tried his luck. He felt rather 'hunky'.
He winked at...

I just watched the SAE video and I'm not sure where to begin. . .
I'm from Oklahoma, it's responsible for all the chagrin in my pen
All this tension is merely misconception of our inception
Please show me one person that chose the color of their skin
Our...

will it pass this way again?

 nobody knows because the community 
library
 has to many paperbacks and the clouds 
to many sins.

 will twain swirl in the rain?
will steinbeck hit the deck?


  will it pass?

 will a folk singer from the north play the...

Hymn of the Oklahoma Seasons (Chronological)

A Monotonic Recite



Bitter reclusive
Comforter of sorrows
Isolated Fire
& Cocoa
A little family goes a long way

Optimism blossoms 
with a bouquet of flowers
or a box of chocolates
in life & death
wave at the neighbors

Impatient
Short conversations
Peak ladies fashion
Everybody wants to be somewhere else
Road rage

Bipolar in...

Being born of this red clay
In our states first capitol
I caught my first catfish 
Rode horses on the farm
My face was sunshine warmed.

Being born of this red clay
Where the Devon is so tall
Chicken fry my favorite dish 
Loving our country charm
The folks here kind and...

Oklahoma bred,
By the Wichita Mountains;
Gracemont is my home....

One dark, debase moment of human deceit,
Explodes bloody carnage down into the street.
Wallets and windows fly, smoking and smashed.
Marrow and metal land, mangled and mashed.
Fragments in coffins, sealed soft in this earth.
Prayers pronounce endings too soon after birth.
Witness the mothers, who shriek names and weep,
Then...
