Best Snook Poems

There once was a pigeon 
Who lived in a cage
Its fluffy exterior 
All tormented with rage.
The beaky beast ruled
The entire place
Scaring it's fellow creatures
Venom scribbled all over its face.

"PIGEON PIGEON!!!" all the other animals cried
Look what you've done
All the other pigeons have died.
Defiantly the pigeon...

'Course as a grim teller of tall tales,
(albeit poetic) reasonable rhyming
quasi roundelay I readily admitted to feign
cuz, stringing words together with
pride and prejudice plus
sense and sensibility, jocularity,
and conformity I dissed deign
(spoiler alert) iamb, trochaic,

dactylic, and anapestic metrical reign
jest your ordinary garden variety
dollar short day late...

What I know about fish

You could fit on this dish

But I thought I would give it a try

So I bought me a pole 

Catching fish was my goal

And I thought I could learn on the fly

What's there too know ?

How bad could it go 

It's...

My park to me was not see-saws nor swings
instead, a treasure chest of stranger things.
A marble grave, 1891, well kept
where 'Tiny', estate owner's dog now slept.
The long gone Manor House front Portico
and where the star struck teenage lovers go
holds carvings, some initials, from the past
though...

?I thought that I would never see
Another macho man like me.
Ex-green Beret and Airborne Ranger,
Who never shirked in face of danger.	
But that ancient myth was soon dissolved,
When my wife asked me to get involved,
And accompany her, one fine day,
In search for her new negligee.

Now stout...

The Unknown

Enforcing my authenticity because 
I am a child of the Most High...
I am a citizen of Zion, concealed with zest 
With my quiver full of destructive creativities
Sharpen with ingenuities
Garnished with embellished tongues of Holy Ghost pen...
I conquered territories built by self-limitations
Bringing down every high...

I loved you John Wayne!
		I wished you were my father
		or maybe an older brother 
		who’d tutor me to be tough
		when manners weren’t enough
		and toughness was needed
		that civility be heeded
		and not to brag or complain.
		O I loved you John Wayne!

		As soon as I was old enough...

I snook up to the window
Light was lit inside
Trying to make myself invisible
Against the wall I pressed my side

I shuffled along inch  by inch
was just about to peak
When i heard someone in the room
Raised voices and a slap, felt weak

Oh my what shall i do...

Where to look
When to cook
See me there
Catch a snook
Cut it up
Fill the cup
Want another
Fry it up
Please
No ketchup......

Gotta  have   guts   to   fall   and   rise, 
To buck the trend and wrest the prize,
To   thrust  your  life   in  hands of mates,
To believe in self, tempt the fates.
Each day  give yourself a surprise.

Night's dark mantle leads to sunrise,
Rise   from  the  dust   with  this  surmise. 
Cock a...

The August's heat wave made streets sizzle,
in the fifties there was no air conditioning;
can we imagine the frustrutating feeling 
that made bodies and minds very feeble? 

Summer was fun on that noisy Mulberry Street,
no traffic went through it: such a sad downbeat;
how happy were the...

Railroad Tracks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Down by the riverside under the bridge are the masses 
of those who have chosen to throw in the towel
Although labels are not mine to place on anyone
These broken discarded shells converge in the revel
Willingly donning the titles blindly playing the roles
Junkies, winos, dealers...

- The Villanelle Of The Look MINDSET MISCONCEPTIONS-

Misconceptions babbling unspoken about the look
Deeply was just so broken and outgoing
Forces could never forget the outcome book

Stories miss read, Mindset was shocked by the rook
He found himself feeling rather flowing
Mindset couldn't stop thinking about the look

Misconceptions was...

A hot July evening, and nothing had stirred,
the minutes just ticked slowly past,
too hot for much effort, and even the birds
gave up chirping as long shadows cast.
I savoured the moment and reached for my glass,
cold lager to help quench my thirst,
when I saw something black...

Announcing its presence it snook in above,
through a window that I'd left ajar,
no time get up and give it a good shove
to close it, the distance was too far.
I was in no position to choose 'fight or flight',
my options were cut down to just one,
that...
