Best Tourism Poems

Please take a vacation
to our neck of the woods.
Perhaps you’ll move here
and lose your worldy goods.

The tsunami like waves 
over your body will wash.
Likely to submerge a carcass
after drowning. Oh gosh!

The solar eclipse makes for
one dark and ominous day.
Historically made people get
on their knees and...

Even in an heavy destruction of air
capitalism shout with joy
but not the climate
when everything goes wrong
you should take a fling at the barn
look up into the sky with a smile
take a sandwich or three
while the environment goes to hell...

A paradise
You enter the country
Someone will follow you
And kill you gently
In a dark alley
Paradise never was so relaxed...

As poet who was visiting some places
To cook a piece of poetry, 
suddenly you met some  psychologists 
who were  worshipping some animal statues. 
You continued  with your tour, 
you came across some very educated people 
at a graveyard who were  speaking to the dead...

Tourism, citizens, tourists
citizens, tourists, tandem
tourists, tandem, bandwagon
Tandem, bandwagon, sweat
Bandwagon, sweat, tears
sweat, tears, nosedive
tears, nosedive, health
nosedive, health, culture...

Regina city councillors under fire
For ad campaign’s not looked at prior
How someone did not think to inquire
Check the news if you think me a liar

This province had some odd news breaks
Like the Tim Hortons with the snake…
The moose in the school for hoof’s sake
But this...

Ground Zero came at one hundred degrees.
A fusing of life and death.
The graveyard came at twelve O’Clock
Not a single body to be seen.
From that infinite shadow I saw a light.

A woman. A goddess. A broken flame.

All that remained was a broken sky;
That holocaust of endless...

Tourists traipse over sites.
The necropolises
Team with the secular;
Teasing mortality.
Trauma and terror marked,
Tasked with introspection: 
To learn ‘Never Forget’.

On Hollywood Boulevard

Grohman’s Chinese theater, The Walk Of Fame
Awestruck, frantic crowds tromp down the street
A swirl of accents divulge from whence they came
Myth and stark truth clash but rarely meet

A boulevard of tinsel, tourist mecca anointed
Foreign visitors now the sole true attraction
All a hyped-up charade,...

As I was in national park virunga
 and I saw a zebra 
which was giving birth and
one black and white cobra 
passed by there.
 I admired their colours 
and took some pictures 
to show my kids about the adventures 
in DRCongo parks. 
Next day , I...

I come to you from Greater Sudbury.
My mayor greater too.
I offer you a greater pleasure.
Our natter greater too.

We're all about a greater mission.
Our hope is greater too.
We'll look for you as greater tourists.
The pamphlets greater too.

We'll see you have a greater time.
Our scenery's greatest view.
We'll...

I come to you from Greater Sudbury.
The mayor Bigger too.

Our natter greater through.

We'll look for you as greater tourists.
The pamphlets greatest woo.

Our scenery's greatest view.

When the crystal clear surf 
Defends its turf 
It Bashes 
Then Crashes 
Making a beach like sound 
That relaxes the whole sea shore town 
Listening to the way the ocean pounds 
Maybe it’s the weather 
That greets the visitors with this good looking letter 
Traffic...

People today are fat, not swift,
So The Western Wall needs a lift*
But here's the rub 
An ancient tub
Saves each tear as temple gift 

*(lift="elevator")...

August spider webs become thick as February snow wisps
Accumulating on our window sills
If each of us
All eight billion
Could stand in line in gardens and beside the sea
And wait our turn
To blast far up in outer space
And spend two minutes
Gazing down to our primate planet Earth
Through...
