Best Speedboat Poems
~Water Skiing,Tribute to Maggie~
Ah, indeed a summer teenage delight!
My Cousin Maggie assured me, would
make a water skier of me.
Ah, my young heart lost all frightening
premontions and took a soaring flight.
I sat on the pier, she threw me the
dauntful handle and rope.
Fear seized me, realizing the moment
to ski was indeed, here!
Her husband, Jim, was captain of
the speed boat and cheered!
It was time for me to move my
trembling, young rear!
I stood up and was on my way,
Woo-hoo and hip-hip-hooray!
At last, I was like everyone else.
Ecstatic with the water and the
speedboat as it propelled!
Alas, glory and triumph divine,
were not to be mine.
For I fell forward on my face!
And with silly pride, still held
onto the rope.
Dragged through Lake Como,
Me ~"Dope on a Rope!"
My Cousin Maggie, yelling loudly:
"Let Go! Let Go!"
I must have been in stupefaction!
Like a languid teenage halibut, I
let go of that rope.
But nonetheless,bobbing up and
down in great, jubilant summer
most memorable, satisfaction!

Who do you think you are ?
I’m better than you;
I’m a dexterous writer and poet ;
Am I proud ?,For saying the truth, No!,
I love alliteration more than pun.
So therefore ,I’m a rhymer and Rapper,
Is that tautology or poetic jargons ?
No!,it’s my pen;it has blue blood
So,it vomits blood on my paper;
Who do you think you are to have
Challenged me to a contest ?
I’m a man that fights in the nude,
Without weakness and weapon, but witty and
whimsical as I wobble ,wonder and walk
into webs of written warriors of world wars.
Am I drunk? No!, it’s not me but my pen,
Faster than the speedboat, quicker than the Cheetah
and more garrulous than Parrot.
You think you are gracious ?
I’m better-ludicrous ,malicious , incredulous ,
Sagacious and fallacious ;Now judge that !
I’m humane and detest oppressors,
Obsessors, aggressors and assessors,
Now ,you judge that !,
…..But still…
I’m still in love with you…..
…..Hahahaha! ....

~~~~GO ON... SON~~~~
At the edge of your nail
dancing of success
requesting for time and effort
from you, to have a grasp
I needs must sweat
to have endless acquire
What one acquires with one's sweat
goes endless years
My son, what sweat you've shed
to say it is enough
next steps that lies forth you
maybe the key to success
So relax not
in pursuing your dream.
~~~~ROSE~~~~
At the coastline of a stream
stood a beautiful rose
I wondered, had she a mermaid
but fresh from head to toe
without a fish tail
A thoughtless wind
tossing to and fro her attire
as a swaying kite
I moved to her
within her angelic eyes
A chime of lonelyness
Like a ringing-bell
My heart danced
singing song of infatuation
I wanted to say HI girl
Suddenly, I heard humming
Of a speedboat from afar
She smiled; is it for me?
Is the smile for me?
I thought
She moved toward the guy
and then into the boat
Anger smiled within me
the surf burst into laughing
I watched them
as they begin to go
till they vanished within empty space.
Oh fair maiden pure and sweet
How I long for us to meet
And share a love song so full of heat
That gives a melodious everlasting
beat
On Facebook and Twitter start to
tweet
Pierce me with your cupid's arrow
And I'll be far removed from sorrow
Deep under the fertile soil of my
heart
Erupts a love so strong never to part
A tsunami of desire overwhelms
Drowns my heart to her very helms
Great fire of passion violently
descends
And scorches all within her grasp
I may be in for an uphill task
Every waking hour I long to toast my
queen
In her beautiful top and bountiful
jeans
Later in an evening gown she makes
me scream
Because she's as gorgeous as a
sexy teen
Obsessed with my woman from
morning to night
For the past few hours couldn't take
a bite
Thoughts of her invade my soul so
deep
Couldn't sleep a wink
Can't wait to take a peep
At my dream girl this blessed week
Her image races like a speedboat
Through my minds clear coast
When she first set sail
Had picked up my heart by the tail
And locked it up mercilessly without
bail
The four chambers of my heart are in
tears
Beat in perfect rhythm so clar
To the drums of love so near
A perfect philos that casts away fear
In love am I?
Or just as infatuated as a fly?
For an answer I refuse to take no
Praying to steal her boyfriends show

Tiny package under the tree
Could not be my wish come true
But note inside addressed to me
Leads me to something shiny new
Standing proud in the driveway
The thing I very most desire
A bicycle red finally came my way!
Of this gift I'd never tire
At times this bike would be a horse
Steady gait then galloping free
Nostrils flaring and snorting of course
As I pressed in with my knee
Now the bike's a Harley grand
Eating the highway as we go
Leather seat and steel kickstand
Tires trimmed and built for show
A race car and a speedboat too
Many things this bike became
Like the years it took me through
This bike was never once the same

Well twenty whales met ten goldfish at rush hour on the A9 but the heavily congested B85 was chewing on some straw that had fallen off a bridge. Hay deepens a drag from a nomadic tractor-trailer. And a speedboat carries cows on pleasure cruises around and around the fields. Ah look arriving is a smiling trough. Good. Trotting trotters tantrically tasting talismanic thoughts. And a bud rises. And a rose dances with a thistle. Pistols are prevalent in tall trees in blossoming canopies. And a fisherman rushes to catch a very large pike in a biscuit tin. Hahahaha figs waving in wild water in a dingy. Hahahaha watertight way. Hahahaha sundown eclipse button. Chanting caterpillar xxxx agnostic ant. Xxxx territoriality *** z.

Poetry contests. How ridiculous. Silly even. It is like comparing:
dogs with underarms,
underarms with toothbrushes,
toothbrushes with giraffes,
giraffes with garden parties,
garden parties with throw pillows,
throw pillows with coffee cups,
coffee cups with light switches,
light switches with spitballs,
spitballs with cinnamon buns,
cinnamon buns with alligators,
alligators with rubies,
rubies with motorcycles,
motorcycles with sumo wrestlers,
sumo wrestlers with bubble gum,
bubble gum with swimming pools,
swimming pools with rabid skunks,
rabid skunks with toothaches,
toothaches with garter belts,
garter belts with police officers,
police officers with dinosaurs,
dinosaurs with sauce pans,
sauce pans with an art show,
an art show with a pumpkin pie,
a pumpkin pie with a speedboat,
a speed boat with a stepmother,
a stepmother with another step mother.
Poetry contests are silly.
Villa overgrown with lingering green ivy
Bushy palmtrees swaying in the breeze
Cream and Salmon tones of the house
Olive groves silhuetted on the hillside
Harbour Yacht Club view of lighthouse
Speedboat Island beach fishing coffee
Lazing in the hammock sipping iced tea
Afternoon sunshine at pools blue edge
Tawny orange pastel red and soft purple
Barefoot bathrobe flipping omlette toast
Stretch on tiptoes lightly kiss the cheeks
Porcelin saucers overflowing with olives
Turned the pillow on the cool side smiled
Pen napkin Ink bleeds into the soft tissue
Magnificent bread oven like a giant beehive
Fall is finally here
Yellow leaves are glowing everywhere
Big trees stand proudly in air
Sucking the energy far and near
and mingling with the crowd
I walked around the fire circle in a carefree motion
and gazed towards the heaven
for the truth that I have already known
I have heard it over and over again
But sometimes it is hard to comprehend
It is always the simple strings that tie big Kings
The trees are dancing in the clouds
And the whisperers are moving around
with a subtle grin on their faces
surveying the common places
The afternoon sun rests upon me
penetrating my body with fury
With dry hands and parched throat
I progressed hastily towards the shore in a speedboat
I closed my eyes and circle my head
and listened to the breeze whistling through the trees
Dry leaves litter the sides of the street
and the furious wind bellow upon the mountain
Fall is looming in the sun
I have waited for this moment to come
The birds are hanging out in the tree
playing with their friends and company
And naked trees are staring at you and me
Summer has come and gone
Winter is creeping upon the lawn
And blue clouds are singing in the sky.
R.I.P JUNIOR POPE
~~~~~~~~~
In sombre silence & mournful melody,
A threnody for one who passed on sadly,
Who lost his life without a life jacket,
Crashed without precaution on a speedboat.4
We pour a drink for a dream drenched in death
Frail fragrance of a sojourned soul loses strength.
Nollywood's noble, Junior Odonwodo Pope,
A shining star silenced, sadly stripped of his scope.8
Anonymous whispers of woe, warning winds did blow,
March 2nd marked the premonition's dreadful shadow show.
March's mournful melody mocks his mortal march,
Making many mouths murmur so much.¹²
Acting admirably, Anonymous's alarm is amply announced.
As Pope's hopes drop, the ability to live denounced.¹4
Cautioning the boat rider like a fellow bro,
His spirit knew what his mind didn't know.
April 11th, a prey of death was dealt a death blow,
Sowing hard work, he reaped death's hard luck,
While boat cruising off set, in slip sec, death struck.¹?
Solmen sorrowful song surrounds the silent stage,
Junior's jubilant jests gone, setting sun on his age.
Mourning fans murmur, memories merging with mist,
All actors, actresses & artists agitate,
Marvellous moments now memories, sorely missed.²4
Echoes of excellence extinguished too soon,
The Anonymous augured this darkening doom.
Pope's journey concludes, curtains cascade in quietly,
His legacy lingers in love, loss, and slightly.²8
