Best Touted Poems

Oceans started to rise
As polar caps melted
Meteors fell from the skies
The Earth’s surface was pelted

The days grew dark
Radiation was high
Cosmic sparks
Lit up the sky

Religious zealots started fighting
Earthquakes continued to rumble
Mayan cults were uniting
Governments started to tumble

Fear grew rampant
As death counts mounted
Cities were vacant 
Safe havens...

My Dearest Trina
The time we spent together in London is my greatest treasure. I was so looking forward to us being reunited in NewYork. I fear that my desire to look into your beautiful blue eyes will not...

There are not for profit oligarchs
Amidst arms flooding minus any Ark
Noah saw such days of old
As he held Gods plan; on course as told
Billons swelll in roaring tides 
As ministerial figures, smooth the ride
Oppression is touted, as logic and truth
While cash in community is unclean;...

My mind cannot erase the memory of Emmett Till
I often dream about his badly-mutilated body –
The fourteen-year-old Black lad mercilessly beaten
To death … for ostensibly flirting with a white woman.
A victim of the era in which he lived, he was lynched,
But the men who killed...

It seems we have traveled a very long way,
just to end up where we started from.
Still taking most from all,
and giving it all to some.
The incompetent march and all cry foul,
and say that soon their time will come.

The farmers all hate the factories,
for putting their...

Dedicated to the 2000 National College Football Champions, the Oklahoma Sooners 

--------------------------------------------------------------

Over fifty years, boy and man, I’ve been a Sooners fan
Watched and reveled in their glories, every one;
But there’s no more glorious “Sooner Magic” 
Than the Red October Run.

The new millennium's first football season,
Excited...

Fifty years, boy and man, I’ve been a Sooners fan;
And watched thousands of recruits try to make my Sooners Team.
Often, I’ve enviously wondered what it must be like
To be a touted Sooners recruit, living out his dream.

He’d had a great career through high school;
Made good...

Long, long ago and longer
When I was but a child
I read of Doctor Livingstone
Who ventured in the wild.
Dr. David had no fear
He went where few had gone.
This missionary and explorer 
To Africa was drawn.
The unsophisticated natives
Didn’t know the wealth they had
Allowed Livingstone to name their...

"To hold as 'twere, the mirror up to nature. "
William Shakespeare," Hamlet 1601."


Long ago another planted you,	
My cherished Ginkgo tree.
She tamped you in so carefully
And bequeathed you unto me.
Did she then live to see you grow
So stately and so tall?
And to see your charming bright...

The Eiffel Tower (La Tour Eiffel)

“Iron Lady” of sensual beauty in the “City of Light:”
(La Dame De Fer: Bienvenue à Paris, France!)

Built to be the world’s tallest structure at 300 meters
As the gateway entrance to the 1889 “Exposition Universelle,”
Which touted accomplishments in the age of...

We are in a place where hatred
Seems prevalent and touted
Prejudices against races
And religions are mainly width

Of illustration of distaste
Many people secretly hate
On freedom and democracy
Which lingers on in the state

Of communism and czarism 
And any other fascism
Hatred is to blame for the worst 
Event in...

With nationalism in our hearts, many a stellar citizen stands...

Military maneuvers,
conducted by starship troopers,
make a Lot of king Chedorlaomer noise

Earhole space
penetrated by the Pentagon puffing pace ... 
stealth sound of smoke signals
Warning drumbeat signs 
of an incoming, deadly drone invasion

Attack helicopters hover
over tempting topography targets  ~  reservoirs of rich resources
They make a...
