Best Pennsylvania Poems
Hershey, Pennsylvania
Hershey, Pennsylvania’s a place I would like to go.
It is essentially a chocolate El Dorado.
This little town somewhere in the middle of the state
is truly a place many people consider great.
It’s just full of chocolate goodies without any doubt.
You can get chocolate bars with almonds,...

Doylestown Pennsylvania Your Morning BagelYOUR MORNING BAGEL Doylestown PA
Consider this, as buds break out on trees
not yet a leaf, the sight that no one sees
as walking through the borough mesmerized
past ancient mansions seen, not realized.
Through early morning air, our sence of smell
arouses to a bagels morning bell;
it tells us...

Did Call Pennsylvania DutchDid Call Pennsylvania Dutch
When old while walking needed crutch
And in every room could see a hutch;
Bridges going over water
With walls on long border;
So did call all of them Pennsylvania Dutch.

Trump loves building borders
and boxing all of us in....

To see Penn’s Woods again in Fall,
my youthful days in fond recall.
With trees ablaze in red fireball,
my eyes are pleased in view of all.
Red, gold and Evergreen enthrall.
As roads unwind, beauty befalls.
The "Quaker State" has keystone walls,
spread over hills like gray prayer shawls.
I pass by...

recounting emotionally disastrous campy turbulence)
Amidst a raft of fellow (Brandywine Valley

who, didst excitedly quiver
donning a "NON FAKE" lifejacket

Baldwin, PennsylvaniaThis is a growing Pennsylvania community.
Just south of Pittsburgh, it’s in Allegheny County.
This town has been incorporated since 1950.
This is a place with a rather long and proud history.
Baldwin stretches north along Becks Run.
It is just south of South Side Flats and Arlington.
The population per...

A Pennsylvania TrapNestled in Pennsylvania mountains is where the crowd goes.
It is one of several hotels located in the Poconos.
They have comfortable rooms and a very grand casino.
There are slot machines and table games many people know.
With so many ways you can make a bet,
they have poker,...

Demise of the Pennsylvania Railroad DepotI see by the news that they may level a bit of Americana.
Alas, 'tis that old icon, the railroad depot in Richmond, Indiana.
I have many fond and not so fond memories of that old place.
Unless some good soul rescues it, 'twill disappear without a trace!

But no passenger would complain!
They enjoyed the assault
And could not be at fault
For girls are born to entertain!...
