Best Superiors Poems
I Sat Beneath a Veteran OakI sat beneath a Veteran-oak,
In awe of His strength—
Here was a solid spirit!
Sympathy you get from Willow,
But stiff upper-lip from old soldiers,
With forged bark —
His limbs flexed, cut, rippled against the wind…
No chinks in this warrior-wood…
“Divide and Conquer!”
Then I thought of my Father—
A cook at...

Creatures Great and SmallCREATURES GREAT AND SMALL
Of all creatures great and small
Insects are most assiduous folk of all
They perform assigned duties each day
And let nothing dissuade them on their way
The till the soil and collect the forage
Their labor brings them food, some for storage
Their diligent spirits...

An Alien Observation of Cell Phone UseA Martian spy from the earth fled
and to his superiors said,
“Although no one is near,
they still talk hand to ear.
Too much oxygen’s gone to their head.”
For Carolyn Devnoshire's contest: Out of this world limericks...

Limerick
Worthless PawnsThe faded shacks stretch 'neath the stained grey sky,
As stagnant urine and disease creep in.
Hunched at the pyramid's tight base we lie;
Looked down upon by our superiors.
In this poor life we’ve been condemned to die;
Forever stuck in our unwanted caste!
Our tummies are filled with what...

Seven Colors Of The RainbowSeven colors of the rainbow
Each crowned with a gift
A lifetime gift in each line of the rainbow
The World was once in total darkness without a gift
Beauty of nature the World has never felt or seen
Earth as one world asked for a gift
God of heavens said...

The Honor of Service...A pride defind by a history edged in stone.
An honor that expounds and exudes ones on
selfish needs and sets a standard to be
followed by all. We have all been
given the blessing of our mothers and fathers to serve,
they have unselfishly...

Free from all illness, cares and infant deaths
No one came to harm and none spoke untruths”
This was what obtained...

A True American HeroA REAL AMERICAN HERO
William Calley went to war
His country to defend
He came under a vicious attack
Endangering the lives of his men
In a village manned by Viet Cong
Protected by women and children
He made the decision to open fire
Though he felt it wrong
When the fire fight was...

being just fifteen makes no difference
able to shoot and fight only...

The Call of the Grimoire
"The Call of the Grimoire"
when Exalibur was retrieved
from the rock, then foolishly
and irretrievably lost
in that dreadful battle most worthless
the imps encouraged
the once good Poesie folk
to jeer and throw pebbles
the Raven looked
on with the eyes of a wolf

To Be Black Is a Crime In AmericaGunshots and tasers aimed at the back
tracking the movements and memories
of unsuspecting dark-skinned citizens
marked by the scars of a history denied
For Rumain Brisbon, 34
it was crime to be black in Arizona
For Tamir Rice, 12
it was crime to be black in Ohio
For Alonzo Ashley, 29

Sick Art
"Sick Art"
I walk the streets
still and quiet
I do not lie
I do not betray
what the heart belies
pickled kidneys
I am a ghost
of my former self
ears lent to hear
the sweet music
of the sounds so fraught
caught up in the act
of loving unnatural
tendencies kissed
I whispered into
those...
