Best Saga Poems

Along the baseboard in a small kitchen
there is a tiny hole, the perfect size to go
unnoticed, perfect for a secret hideaway.
Little twin girls imprisoned at the table
not allowed to leave unless those cold
olive green peas are completely gone!
Canned peas, that had a bit of the...

Colorado Cowboy Saga

Grandad became a cowboy,
 Though born in the mountains of Tennessee,
His family moved to Colorado –
 Just when he turned three;
Fleeing from the Civil War’s animosity
 Traveled in a wagon ‘cross the wide prairies

Four brothers taught the youngest child
 How to ride and...

The aperture was small, but drew me in;
     I saw the rumored 'saga' I had heard
        attest to the temerity within
that so surpassed the sadness told by word.

Tied up with rope and fastened to...

WRITING THE SAGA OF LOVE

Long time ago on the eve of a memorable New Year
we met while you lay on the dewed grass of meadow.
The soft sun shone on the noon sky, spotless clear,
your face glimmered, I could only say,‘wow’.

I saw the crimson roses peep...

                         Happily putting on the exhaust on high

(Apropos Of A School-Day Happenstance)

There she stood on the edge 
of the cliff of loneliness—her
tiny eyes staring out into space.

As I cautiously approached her,
I softly asked if everything was ok.
She replied that everything was fine;
that she just wanted to spend some 
time with herself to...

The civilization of Egypt is a mystery,
But what I love the most is their incredible history,
It starts with Amun Ra, the god of sun;
Who was Khepri in the morning when he rolled in mud and had fun;
But he became Khnum the ram in the evening.
And...

There was a Red Indian Chief 
his name was Raging Waters
he lived a pleasant life
surrounded by his four wives

They took care of all his needs
gave him strong sons and daughters
he ruled mainly in peace not war
apart from raids on the Black Hawks

It was one of...

What happens when your only way out is so final, yet so beautiful?
When the only one you've got is your captor, your abuser?
When your chance at a legitimate escape is too far away, when you’ve just got to get away now?

 

I’ll tell you what...

Luke was building a tree house
He was building it all by himself
A rusty old hammer, several bent nails
And wood that used to be someone’s shelf

We could all hear Luke working so hard
Hammering and sawing away
He was such a busy little bee
He didn’t even have time...

Limerick crochet: The Saga of Sea Anne-Anne

Once the Captain of the good ship Anne-Anne
Took to the waves to conquer the main.
Slept round the clock mid-ship
Towed his women aft-ship:
Yet women and ship turned on him in pain.

The Flying Oarsman won America gain
And tamed the raging waters...

Having drank from the sun at meridian,
The moon drunk with the light 
Of reflection, always dissipated dreaded darkness
Seeking to veil the Hill—Raised bump
Of nature’s glowing face; 
This swollen womb of nature nourishing beginnings
Of generations plodding centuries wounded
With...

THE LOST SOULS SALOON  Page 7

I pushed aside the swinging doors
And stepped out on the street
My poor horse stood, alone all night
without a thing to eat

I led him by the reins 
As we turned to make our way
In hopes to find some oats
Or perhaps...
