Best Sinatra Poems
Your Sky
Touch with your tongue, touch with your heart
worded dewdrops speak plain..
not beating my chest., or tempting a soul
nor giving it away,
except maybe,
just this once..
again.
Think you saw something
that reminded you..
w' those same eyes that used
to see through, oh
used to see right through...
Would you have heard me,
If you didn't have keen ears?
So very, very keen..
searching...

I Did It My Way - Frank Sinatra Tribute
I have no regrets, I did it my way!
I know I have a few under my skin.
That's life with passion I always say.
Come fly with me; lets go for a spin.
I know I have a few under my skin.
Maybe she can fly with me to the moon.
Come fly with me; lets go for a spin.
I'm...

Dear Frank
Dear Frank,
I'm sending a little note,
A note in the wind...
May you find this
Like I found you...
It was nearly a year ago,
In early December,
When I stumbled upon you.
Your voice and your music,
Your heart and your soul.
Floating into my ear,
Another kind of
Note in the wind...
And it made me smile.
As fate would have it
Music would fill a void
That...

Frank Sinatra
The late, great legendary American crooner, Frank Sinatra
did things "My Way." His signature song was also his mantra
Such a fine actor he was, too; even won an Academy Award!
Lovingly nicknamed "Ol' Blue Eyes" and "Chairman of The Board"

How Frank Sinatra Saved My Life - Or At Least Got Me Kicked Out Of The Hospital
Up and down, up and down, up and down
I don’t know if I have any more energy for
Up and down
If the line would flatten
I could finally rest
A masked woman wearing scrubs
Fights my inclination for slumber
But, sleep equals peace
My lungs and head droop
Alarms blare
I hear mumbled words
Something about rousing my oxygen levels
I breathe the...

Perfectly Frank
Frankly, he was a man
Though not very tall,
His voice made him seem
Very big to us all ...
He could be an actor
He could even dance,
With a photogenic smile
And a dapper stance
Gentle and sweet
Known for his eyes,
Donning a fedora
With suits and ties
He was generous ...
If you needed something,
Gave you his all ...
Even when he'd sing
The...

Sinatra
Leaning towards the pride of Hoboken,
I learned to listen with both ears —
And my wandering soul—
Whose cellar harbours old kegs of sweet
Songs that warm the spirits and embolden one
With just one hum of that pleasantly unique voice,
So frank and euphonious
That I crave love....

Ode
Dancing With Sinatra
Exchanging glances, but not a word
We were strangers, from two different worlds
Most everyone, had left the room
to gather things, ..to say farewells...
The hour late, and music played
old sleepy ballads, softer,... smoother
The D J's voice had come and gone,
but, distant voices, laughing,... ringing
Piano notes were lingering.....
One saxophone had carried on
You didn't ask, just took my...

Frankenstein Sinatra
You’ve really done it this time Frank.
You’ve made the worst mess ever seen -
A monster, hideous and rank,
A disaster, vile and obscene.
For yourself, what d’ya have to say?
Well, says Frank, “I did it my way”....

Lunatic Sinatra
There was a touch of sadness
A moment there came to be missed in time
Words were given in turn to portray the absence
For a portraiture of moments unforgotten behind
A mystery hides beyond the enigma
Truth within grasp yet deep afar inside
It felt meaningful atween this lunatic sinatra
Harbouring unrealize sins to be realized beside
With the night to chill...

Frank Sinatra
I saw a program of him when he was
an athletic young man till he was old and grumpy
with a low hanging belly.
I didn`t like him much although he had a wonderful
voice with a clear diction
in reality, he was a small man who liked the company of gangsters
he had bodyguards and liked to be a...

He Sang Like Sinatra
A New Jersey-ite, his name Hobo Ken
For singing ballads, he had quite a yen
He would sing like Sinatra
From Vegas to Sumatra
On rails he rode with fellow jobless men

Sinatra, On the 'situation'
