Best Statue Poems

shadow beautiful 
outline smooth as wife 
but mannequine

touched her softly still
dreaming oneness through feel 
though statue stood still

wife shook my sweet dream  
real replacing plastic feel
me still as statue

I once behaved. Followed all the rules. Understood what was "normal". My parents taught this, teachers demanded this, principals enforced this. Ministers expected it, society reinforced it, friends tested it, professors challenged it.
Then, poetry became my statue of liberty.


following the rules
and behaving normally
no longer appeals

Emotions soaring into the skies
As the footsteps echo off the balconies
The crow's accompany my soul's flight
I imagine them to be your eyes
Carefully watching so you may be there
If I should slip and fall into the nothing
Their cries are your words of praise
And so I smile...

THE DAY THE STATUE OF LIBERTY CRIED

A day the entire world was stunned

Leaving a trail of death without pity

Like missiles they hit the renowned Twin Towers
Reducing them to rubble in a matter of...

(for my personal twist read the last stanza];)  

Stands tall and hovering this great green landmark lady
The world's most famous gift and token
Welcoming all into Uncle Sam's ethnic potpourri
In her vast melting pot sweet melee awoken.

from...

Republic State
A lance of apostrophe
Witness the greatest marvel since …
Never again
Guy Fawkes failed
The new generation Guy Fawkes will fail
Witness a marvel
Dead quiet
A man stands to take the place of Mrs Liberty
The president of the United States
George Washington never saw this coming
Abe Lincoln rolls in his...

A Statue Speaks

The morning takes it's first breath of daylight
Exhaling the sunrise that fills the sky with colored 
brilliance.                          ...

Finally, she turned to statue
She appeared every where.
In train, in tram 
between peoples, a silent view.

Just watching a statue.
Every one such looks and pass

just alive her eyes.
Nobody knew....

How lovely she stands on 
Ellis Island in New York City
Raised is her torch to inspire 
Freedom and liberty
Given to the U.S by France
Hoping for a chance
Because of the American Revolution
For friendship was the resolution
In recognition we all be one
Ever get a chance to take...

Oh! Lady Liberty long may your
Torch's flame be lifted up high
Reaching to heaven's lofty skies.
The national emblem of "the land
Of the free and the home of
The brave." 

Oh! Lady Liberty represents our
National sovereignty! Our
Basic freedoms of: "life, liberty
And the pursuit of happiness."

Oh! Lady Liberty represents...

Victorian art is quite clean 
Though Roman and Greek are obscene
The Queen did not care
That David was bare
But he was quite shy of the mean!...
