Best Ould Poems

Just the other day I came across a picture of you with your horse
And was amazed to see how much we looked alike
Could it be true that you are mere words upon a cold stone
Quiet, beautiful and kind Jacqueline
Unbelievable you left this world on Mother's...

Dumbstruck Is Me (a rhyming, acrostic kind of thing)


Discombobulated, how apt the word
Utterly gobsmacked by the absurd 
Mind numbingly mortified at the nonsensical 
By waking to find I’m without either testicle
Silenced as side by side they’re strung together
To hang on the wall there forever... and...

The world today is split in two
… or three... or four... or maybe more,
but nonetheless, one must confess,
all wage their wars as heretofore.

While blunderbusses prey for us
within our world where gods deceive,
atomic war, white phosphorus
and napalm gel that burns, bereave.

Yes, Tweedledumb oft beats the drum
and...

A place in the middle of nowhere, I wish to be in, where I could still
Breathe the blissful pure fresh air of the bucolic, where I
Could hear the hum of silence harmonious to my mind’s rhythm, where
Dew drops of serenity sparkle in a peasant’s land...

Silence hushed, a crowd in awe,
Only crickets could be heard.
Under the spell of the Babe,
They looked to where he pointed,
Hoping to see a home run. 

Perhaps the greatest player
America ever-knew,
Would, once again, please the crowd.

But the pitcher wasn't phased,
And threw a wicket screwball.
Babe watched its...

O pening up my front door this morning,
C ould not believe what I saw there.
T he aroma of wood smoke was in the air.
O vernight the entire world had changed,
B ountiful beauty as far as the eye could see.
E very leaved limb shivered in the...

P arking my Harley near the doorway, we sauntered inside.
O ther than a lone microphone, I took the emptiness in stride.
E VENTUALLY the emcee asked what would be our order,
T hough it was hard for him to speak because of his goiter.
R eaching for my...

Come caroling on Christmas Day, my love.
Hark merry sounds, one spirit sings as two.
Rise carols high above white turtle dove
In flight with cardinals of reddest hue.   
Sing loud of peace and joy and jingle bells
Together as we glide o’er sparkling field.
More music blends...

Galactic Traveler
Alone in time and space
Lost in eternal paths
And orbits that you trace 
Cosmic cartographer
Through nothingness you turn
In hope some distant eye
Could faintly see you burn

Transiting the heavens
Resplendent angels' course
All of your life unknown
Viewed vividly in force
Eclipsing every eye
Lightning speed, sudden flash
Earth's extinction event
Reducing us...

I Stumble Upon My
Words – I’m
speechless
We were so far away
from each
other…I-I-I’m one
with
r-regret…f-feeling
incomplete…
I thought our love
was as worthless as
the debris…
You smoked me out
like a cigarette…and
y-you left me on the
filthy, messed-up
street…
I thought your kind
of “freedom” would
set us free…
From the rusty
chains, placed in
captivity…

I’ll find a way to
get you...

She came from a life of obscurity
Pushed into the constant scrutiny
from the locals and around the world.
No longer allowed to be a simple girl.

She used her popularity and fame
Treating everyone the same.
She showed compassion to the dying
Held children that were sick and crying.

She rolled up...

Every single plant and flower is my friend.
Many the forest path do I journey,
Breathing in the rich earth and clean air,
Reposing in a meadow green just listening,
Amongst the dancing daisies just resting.
Could anything else be more peaceful and healing?
I think within the soil there must...

Searchlight

S omethings in the air...I can just feel it, sense it...can't you?
E veryone, everywhere seems uneasy with unsatisfied yearnings
A bout answers to life's great questions that have been
R evealed, but are carefully concealed for good reason
C ould it be that our minds and the intentions...
