Poet Destroyer - Parades and Carnivals

Soft feathers gather up with color
On the wind to play as friends
They come floating first above the boulevard
Kind thoughts there elevate, somewhere between the innocence
Trumpets, drums and violins come thumping on the street 
Poet Destroyer is there to keep the...

Seventeenth of March is St Patrick’s Day
Great day for the Irish I can honestly say
Paddies' the world over will want to be seen
Wearing Leprechaun hats and a sprig of green.


Loud colourful parades up and down the lands
Drums, tin whistles and the skirl of pipe bands
Sample...

A governess, a guardian of the young, so known and dear as to be called “Mother” and a noblewoman, just barely 12 by age, named Portia, sit talking as the sun sets the stage for a cool, cloudless night.

“Mother, who invented candlelight and the slow,...

My son's been voted the most eligible bachelor but I'm sure it won't be long
Before some young chickie catches his eye and he'll be singing love's sweet song
He's a charmer for sure
With a desire for amour
Much like his daddy, he sometimes parades around in a...

dead on the inside rotten one the outside
should go and hide but hindered by my pride
try to be unique but treated like a leper
standing tall but crumbling under pressure
take a look and you’ll see its a charade
marching like pro lifers at a pro choice parade
in...

Nothing but loving a woman 
Parades men’s minds the same.
The eye of a king to a woman,
The eye of a slave to a woman
All look with the same intensity.

Nothing but wanting a woman
Parades men’s minds the same.
The rich who is crazy for love,
The poor who...

The Village Halloween Parade*
Is famous through the land,
The costumes so creative
That they surely beat the band.

But I was sent some pictures
And some video as well
From a local school parade
Much cuter, far as I can tell.

The kindergarten students,
Dressed in various disguise,
Sang their hearts out in the...

Today I’m thankful for parades
reminding us something that cannot be overstated….
How every step along the road of life…
needs to be celebrated

An escapade from thought parades
A blockade of rouge descent
An oeillade craved
Rueful indignance
A room full of insects

A jocose allusion
A lissome illusion
A querulous reality
I weep where you can't see

Streams of dreams
Melt slowly, spring snowman
Abhorrent print
Why can't I just speak casually...

Americans are a mixture of flavors:
Salty, spicy, sweet.
Whatever you like,
your taste we meet.

Descendants of countries
far and wide.
Wherever they once lived
they came here to hide.

Hiding from violence and hate,
from poverty and war, 
immigrants seeking a new fate.

They were black, brown and white,
short and tall,
fat and slim,
we...

The British royal family is front and center this weekend. How unusual is that?

The empire may be gone, but it’s time to recall its ghost, dust it off and invoke the ancient spell of monarchy.

A coronation, The original dog & pony show - God’s kingly...

We watched our hometown Christmas parade the other day…under a clear cerulean sky…there in the comfort of our golf cart…we watched friends and family marching by.

There is a simple sweetness to a hometown parade that can never be outdone…it’s neighbors and families coming together…simply put…it’s...

We did a lot of waving yesterday at our city’s annual Christmas parade.
We waved at people dressed as chandeliers, at grinches and mermaids.

We waved at dance troops, at bagpipers, at wind lasses (those are women who sail the sea)
We saluted old disabled veterans and young...
