Best Rio Poems

Carl is still in Rio
He is hooked on the casino
Sweet love in moonlight
Cherry musk all night
His libido is like a volcano

Rio de Janeiro, a city by the shore:
Home to Ipanema, Carnival and dance folklore.
As a child, of you I read, from books that showed your Christ.
Arms outstretched, He guards your days and lights your sky by night.
And now I’ve stood beneath His feet and breathed...

The Olympic  games are ending soon,
Oh, what a show it's been,
With athletes losing gracefully
And gracious when they win.

Bringing honor to their countries,
Their families and their sports.
Behind the scenes they mingle 
And listen to reports.

USA gymnasts are a wonder,
They have gobbled up the gold.
The tales...

Now this is quiet a famous little stream, many untold story
The muddy waters run slow, but don't let it fool you when it comes alive
Divides the United States and Mexico, but it is just a line
Old Cottonwood trees and quick sand, some cross it for...

Take me back, to good old Rio
Let me lie there in the Sun
Then take a ride to Capo Ferro
Dancing Samba, having fun
And the girls will all be prancing
In the waves along the shore
Eating crab and fish together
That were caught the day before
As my passion starts...

Zuzuangel, dances the dazzling streets of Rio.
Her red hair, shines in the moonlight.
Attracting only the finest to her.

She wears studded gold sandals, those sexy feet, 
cannot stop dancin to the Jobim, Bossa Nova Beat.
The outside cafes, the weather divine,
This is Zuzu’s time to be out...

Glorious Rio - unashamedly you bare
       your body    and your soul
           to anyone, to everyone 
who comes upon     your glistening ocean shore.

You...

Today I had the chance to hold "the blue from rio",
A blue bird on a skateboard you should meet and know,
A fancy parrot from the happy meal kid's land,
Preening all his gorgeous feathers on his wheeled stand,
Visit the happy meal site! Join his feathered flow....

That kid I saw in Rio,
I can’t forget him,
He hung on my arm, amidst overpriced, flashy hotels,
Past the nightclubs and dazzling neon lights,
That draws tourists like flies to a cottage porch light,
		  ……..
The mix of poor and rich, lined the corners and formed the...

The opportunity came to play with Pedro from Rio,
A chubby red crested cardinal interesting to know,
He spins on his right gray wing with a flamboyant and fun flair,
Sporting black sunglasses looking all relaxed without a care,


*note one line is still being worked on, this is...

How much longer will spiteful winter squalls
Linger with frosty grip and icy snow
Let's not delay lest tragedy befalls
Best head out to Rio de Janeiro 

We could outsmart the frigid calendar
Ignore its wintry cold hypnotic chants
Not to steal the yearly drumroll's thunder
But mostly to avoid the...

Ah, I remember those smashing
days when I was dancing till dawn!
Refusing to be a workforce pawn.

It left no lines, but painted a smile on my face!
I enjoyed the joy, the people-peppered life.
Marvelously, frenzied, frenetic pace.

Being wild,did agree with me.
Life, for me, was so far, far...

Pro Patria Mori

Missouri volunteers bit bullets, watched
as Santa Ana's baggage washed
their brazen hair, hip deep
in the Rio Grande.
The ancient river moved across the land
Like slow drool down a leather cheek.

Bang! Paul Bunyan's balls
rolled down the Great Divide, rattled
across the porcelain sea.
Oh, the girls!
Hair hot and...
