Best Stephen Poems

I'm the caretaker of a lonely lighthouse
On the edge of a small New England town
Not much here has ever happened
That is until Stephen came around

For weeks now I've been haunted 
By the ghost of Stephen King
I'm quite sure that he is still alive
Which makes this...

Steve works in a call center
to earn an honest bob
but some days he can't believe
the words that flow from some folks gob

They cus and curse
Then eff and blind -
you'd not believe your ears
and if he wasn't made of sterner stuff
he'd leave the room in tears!

Author Stephen King,
Writes stories that are shocking.
Horror is his claim to fame.
His books make nightmares fair game.

Can you not see?
All the ducks inside your arm?
Did you think hotel paradise,
Came with no illusions attached?
Violins and rats
Rats and violins
Conductor in a white suite
Playing musical roulette
Slow motion squirrels a symphony
Dancing death on my head

Hotel paradise is the rats meow
Old couches and peeling paint
The evil...

Have you seen the words of Stephen King?
Which reap from hell unspeakable things?
Horrors worse than death border your brain
And rob the mind of much needed sane....

“You stiff-necked people, with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You are just like your fathers: You always resist the Holy Spirit! Was there ever a prophet your fathers did not persecute? They even killed those who predicted the coming of the Righteous One. And now you...

It’s not a bird, it’s not a plane
It must be Stephen Hawking's brain!
It’s big enough, it’s bold, it’s bright
It’s hurtling across the night
Towards an enigmatic hole
It’s Stephen Hawking!  Bless his soul

The things that Stephen Hawking said
Went flying right above my head
The physics stuff, the...

Form: Tanka
The age of friendship
Love and peace fused forever
The star signs aligned 
Dawning of Aquarius
Flower powers hour arrived


New as we all begin this new endevaor
A journey to where heavens gate resides
Prepare yourself for some unfair weather
Once soul, mind and body or unified
Then the gates will...

Lighthouse
Sentinel

Mountainous seas roaring straight in your face
Where the clouds and the waves meet
The lighthouse stands defiant, man's sentinel
Mankind braves nature to save the fleet

Standing on her pedestal unwilling to relinquish
Her eternal roll to the frothing rages of the sea
The lion roars trashing its waves to...

Goodbye Stephen, you brightened our way 
With lyrics  that said what we couldn’t say,
With music that touched our spirit, our soul, 
You picked us up broken, put us back whole.
 

In Memory of Stephen Sondheim...

It's Halloween night, what's on T.V.?
Gory reruns is all that there be.
All of Stephen King's best
Being put to the test,
Vampires, Plymouths and Cujo I see.

An angry little girl starting fires
And Salem's Lot is full of vampires.
There's a self-mending car,
Aliens from afar,
Just feeding all our horror...

How come Stephen,
When do you forget defence?
Why don't you hack death with your golden boot?

Do not disappoint me,
Do not let me down Keshi,
Your crown is medal-made;
Roam not with  lilliputians
Whose blazer is calico
Whose utensil is mud
Whose bread is shaft and husk
Whose shelter is raffia...

But dwell...

Stephen Hawking says we must colonize another planet
Or face extinction, sure hope we can manage it
That's quite a goal
For us human souls
The movers will make a large fortune, I submit...

land of lost shadows
and unweathered skies.

five urban colours
through unflinching eyes.

tall distant chimneys
and schoolyards at play.

smoke drifting sideways
in stillness each day.

sketches on packets
of stained cigarettes.

strange brooding faces
and marionettes.

people bent walking
with heads looking down

 - if lowry was living
he'd have painted my town....
