Best Radio Poems

Radio Music

I sense this music has a soulful touch;
A special purpose that only lyrics
Possess to enchant my inner being.
I oft pass up soft, soothing sleep late night
To marvel at the magic of some songs;
Tunes that draw me into deep moments of
Raw emotions that tease and...

Thinking of Suzanne – Raised on Radio

Raised on radio, I still listen
to haunting love songs that sadly
remind me of you, lovely Suzanne, 
of times when we couldn’t get enough
of each other, body and soul blazing with fire.
Oh Baby, I prayed with all my heart
that it...

Hey DADDY run as-fast-as-you can
You oughta-see-my-mama-oh-man
She dancin to a radio show
And bein kinda naughty-you-know

Never seen her actin this-way-before
Look she shufflin out-all-over-the-floor
It's a song that I ain-never-heard
And she just-said-one-of-them-ugly-words

Take me back to my radio days
Take me back to the simple old ways
Far away from the smoke...

Signals were emitted from a very high tower.
Broadcasting was done with a million watts of power.
Reception reached as far north as Canada.
The waves traveled southward to Venezuela.
Birds flying too closely were roasted in flight.
Programs could be heard during both day and night.
It was possible for...

You're listening to the cosmic station, WGAB,
we're broadcasting this mellow love signal
to your Galaxy And Beyond


We've been sending out the love
from Day One
Sending it to everyone in the universe
Here's to the grandeur lady, Zekar,
and to the beautiful baby Earth
To the exotic Shudai doing a divine...

Voices Behind the Radio

I have chosen to be a dispatcher, working hard to save a life
It is our job to obtain the information from the chaos and the strife.

We do our best to get the location, and the nature of the call
Each call is always...

I was interviewed on Manx Radio about my poetry journey and it was broadcast today - the whole clip is about 7 minutes long. By the way it is not me reading the snippets of poems.

The programme can be found on 'on demand' the show...

“Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men”

There once was an old time radio show called “The Shadow”

Which is how each and every show began

“The weed of crime bears bitter fruit.

Crime does not pay... The Shadow knows!”

Which was how each and every show...

 Leccy Powers in the Air

    Nikola Tesla knew the score,
    back there, wayback in 1894,
    send-em power through the post,
    bloody radio antennae, sends the ghost ,
    wireless sends...

"Radio"
Snippets of classic jingles ring diabolically in our brain
Converging good tunes for bad products
Their repetitive nature send shoots rattling and ringing
Over and over again, gee, have a little music with you commercials!

Morning shows ruled by the man/child 
With bleeps and buzzers assisted by stupid honks
The...

Yes, the topic we have for today
( We are on a ten second delay.)
would most surely be me!
Where would all of you be?
If I do not run down or nay say?...

The swinging sixties never swung
As much as people said
But for me, the bands
And the songs they sung
Linger on inside my head

I rocked and rolled to Morningtown
On a wagon with one wheel
And followed tracks 
That took me down 
To fields sounding surreal

A jungle snake both sang...

I am living in a small village; my father told to me;
Do not be a man like the Radio,
Live with the nature and hear the sound of tree.

That is the common way a man should be;
Nature has the big power and you should know;
But learn...

How far down do you need to go_
~to stand face to face and toe to toe_
~with that no-good son of a so and so?
Taking not only yourself but all you know.
Descending from on high to deep below_


How many of your friends are now your foe?
Rejecting...

Turn up the radio and ...
It's the same ol' situation, 
The same songs, same band
That raised my generation 

That was then, this is now
Nothing's changed but my age,
And four numbers, somehow
On a calendar's page ...

It happened again today 
In the store where I shopped,
In the...
