Best Orion Poems

Last night I awoke to the sign of Orion, and the big dipper pouring beauty into her
countenance.

Though the stars say she is a Capricorn, a meager goat, I see Orion’s majesty every time I
stare into here full lips and wide Sophia Lauren Smile.

Her sleek and...

Since I was a child, I’ve been obsessed with reading
Training myself for this day to come
Already I possessed creativity, just needed tuning
Ready for the haters, all that matters is I love it
Sincere with my words, all from the heart, no lies

Of course I’m not the...

No matter how high I jump I 
can't reach u.
I love u so much but u 
wouldn't digest this because of 
the other little stars that try to 
have my light to at least 
shine.
They were falling in the 
blackhole.
Remember the blackhole 
absorbs all the...

You came down from the Orion to this damned earth. 
Somewhere in space you lost your heavenly wings. 
You have come far away from your place of birth. 
In coming down, you have brought numerous things. 

Among the presents you brought is your brilliance. 
The...

Hot shot
Sworded swagger
Flashing boldly unconscious
Glommed to center of attention
Easy to spot.... (not hot)

The Hunter rises in the night sky,
Taurus the bull, the target nearby.
His dogs are chasing, not able to catch,
Maybe another plan, Orion should hatch.

Was he put in the sky, for boasting too much,
About the animals he could kill, with his arrow's touch.
Or maybe killed by...

"'Twas a dark and stormy night," begins many intriguing tales,
But it WAS a dark and stormy night along the craggy coast of Wales!

Along its rugged shores, mighty gale-swept waves roiled and crashed.
Adding to the fury of the night, thunder roared and lightning flashed!

Out in Cardigan...

A poem for my Orion 
Who cowers in the sky
For many years, his faithful hunting dog 
Was always by his side. 

“Orion you are iniquitous, 
You do not shine so bright.” 
The dog's thoughts were ubiquitous
He would go there tonight.

He made his way there hurriedly
He...

liquid oxygen, nitrogen, napalm
the many methods of modern BBQ
multi-pronged igniters injecting mainline
high pressure laser guided fusion reactors
subatomic quantum mechanical quasar energy
photons vibrating in Orion’s nebula
disintegrating galactic supercharged plasma
ejected from hemorrhoids at warp speed 
inner core’s event horizon is compromised
came through the worm hole
didn’t see it...

bright stars
close but afar
distinct in the winter sky
'the hunter' chases his night prey
as couples roll on sand.

How cold you are, Orion, and how bright
Your belt of glittered stars, your hands and feet
As frost on stone and diamonds in the night
As ice on glass and statues in the street
I’m told you are a light from long ago
A huntsman froze before he made...

Twinkling spheres emerge,
Seasonal constellations:
Stargazing nude limbs.
