Best Oldies Poems

like the refrain
of an old half forgotten song
you play in my mind
over and over
and I hum along
no longer remembering words
but sing-a-long feelings
keep me in tune

you were a hit
top of my charts
and yet
new songs have come
new tunes are sung
new words blaze
and yet
in that haze
of half forgotten...

Remember the star I named after you
   The one that hung right next to the moon
 It was as mysterious as an ancient rune
   Casting its spell as through the  heavens it flew

 Now that star is but a distant...

Dimes drop, records begin to drop
Rhythm to stroll,  jivin’ to hip hop
Slow to jitterbug,  boogaloo  to rock
Twistin’ Chubby and rock around the clock

The Platters sing, you hold her close
Eye to eye, love’s first dose
Beach Boys up next, time to surf
Steppin’ on toes,...

dancing in my room...
old music from my teen years....

           Well HELLO MARY LOU, 

You won’t believe this but I just HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE that someone else was 
getting a DOUBLE SHOT OF MY BABYS’ LOVE. Right now TIME WON’T...

Engulfed in recollections bittersweet
Reminded just how lonely life can be
How sad the fact that mem'ries are not free
From train of thought pass shadows in the street
Within the strains feelings become up beat
Piece shiny shards of broken memories
So many good times on life's open seas
Our failures...

I do not sing any of the new songs. But I can sing Let the Little Girl Dance.
Teen angel, I’m sorry, It’s now or never, everybody’s somebody’s fool.
Alley-oop, itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini and chain gang.
Poetry in motion, Georgia on my Mind,...

Speak Softly Of Love

Speak softly of love so no one sees our love lost eyes
But you and the stars glowing in the billowing skies
Slowly you suckled into my heart like fluttering butterflies 
My love floated with you over boughs and mountains
Crystallising our love lorn moments...

I’m laughing this morning, spontaneously. We’re not studying any more. Our sophomore school year is over. I’m giddy, giggling, like a 9 year old on sugar.
I think I just finished the hardest class that I’ll ever take - my last pure-math class, ever - and...

Wandering around the earth saying you love me? What do you know of love..,
If I thought you knew anything of love I would've stayed..
yes, there beside you in that little house, in that little bed.  
Not just locked away inside that thick head.

(I can't...

I love to sit in comfort
At home watching TV
I watch my favorite movies
The one's that work for me

It's not a Christmas movie
Just because there's snow
That's something folks at Hallmark
Should be told, so someone knows

To me, A Christmas movie
Has Santa and a gift
It has a Christmas...

Many people pamper their pets
Love them so much
Treat them as small children
A dog with a diaper on 
For cleanliness
A dog with a mask on
For hygiene
A dog with clothes on
For tidiness
A dog with dog foods
For nutrition
A dog goes to veterinary 
A specialist 
To pets they pay...
