Best Wayne Poems


Wayne the Builder

There once was a builder called Wayne,
Who built a new house on a plain,
But his wife took fright
On their wedding night:
He’d forgotten the roof again.

Premium Member Big John Wayne In Cowboys Pleiades C

“Cowboys” , big John Wayne starred.
Cowhands abandon him.
Call, joining the Goldrush.
Could greenhorn kids succeed.
Camp cook and chuck wagon,
Complete the trail crew drive.
Cow punching green schoolboys
Called on to claim their jobs.
Cimarron,  the oldest,
Capricious, turned away.
Cow punching, green schoolboys
Combating bucking horse,
Caught  on  to rope, brand, herd
Cattle, and  cow-horses.
Cattle drive is ready.
Cimarron follows close.
Cattle-rustlers kill Will,
Corralling all his herd.
Cow punching green schoolboys
Caught and killed the rustlers.
Complete the cattle-drive.
Cattle sold, gravestone bought.
Carved, “ Beloved Husband and Father”

My Love, Wayne

Love, Wayne



Your skin glows like the Banana, blossoms sexy as the daisy in the purest hope of 
spring.
My yearning heart rises to your guitar voice and leaps like a dog at the whisper of 
your name, Wayne.
The evening ascends in on a great humming bird wing.
I am calmed by your g-string that I carry into the twilight of tablebeams and hold 
next to my philtrum. 
I am filled with hope that I may dry your tears of water. 
As my knees falls from my hat, it reminds me of your bed. 
In the hushed, I listen for the last holler of the spring.
My heated naval leaps to my jeans. I wait in the crystal moonlight for your secret 
thrill so that we may dance as one, naval to naval, in search of the glorious red and 
spiritual eyes of love.

Paint My Body With Michael Wayne

By Michael Wayne and Smriti Jha 


I will paint my love  RED across your  face as I drink in your 
beauty. 
    A river I will course in BLUE down the center of your chest.
 You turn me RED with your vibrant strokes.
 My soul melts in your  arms like scentedSMOKE
 Upon your left breast I will mark  radiant, life giving  SUN ,
The right bosom will receive my gentle painting of the MOON 
The emulation of two heavens seep into my heart.
The one desire you paint reflects your inspired art.
Crimson"RED HEARTS I will brush onto your  dainty arms.
 Colorful butterflies I reproduce on your ticklish legs.
Like a rainbow of  love streaming  out of my consciousness , 
 Pouring down those sensuous legs so rapturous and sublime. 
MOUNTAIN  peaks I will design on your smooth back.	
   Wings I will paint on your luscious feet, to bring you close 
 I will run down your chest with my feet till you drag me 
closer to hear my racing heart beats. 
 Upwards pointing ARROWS  will trace upon your 
inner THIGHS , 
They will guide me to the place of our INTENSE union.
 Inhibition melting arrows rest between my thighs
Like rain drops falling from fertile,blue skies. 
ON your lower belly I will PAINT GREEN like the leaves of 
a healthy  and growing small tree 

 This plant of life will strengthen our nuptial bond
.This dream I find so tantalizingly  profound


In COLLABORATION WITH A VERY VERY TALENTED

Premium Member Ode To Wayne Gretzy

Ode To Wayne Gretzky

We all carry the same genes
and look how different we turn out;
I honed my skills to playing hockey
and look how far I’ve come.
                ***

Note:
   Wayne Gretzky was born in Brantford, Ontario, in 1961. He played Junior Hockey in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, for the Soo Greyhounds, and in 1978, signed with the Indianapolis Races of the World Hockey Association (WHA). That same year, he was traded to the Edmonton Oilers of the WHA, who joined the National Hockey League (NHL) when the WHA folded. While with the Edmonton Oilers, Wayne and his fellow teammates won four Stanley Cups. Wayne Gretzky, aka “The Great One”, went on to play for the Los Angeles Kings, St. Louis Blues, and ended his hockey career with the New York Rangers in 1999 following his retirement.

Wayne the Whale

There once was a whale named Wayne the Whale,
In his fin there was a rusty nail,
Then he met the crab named George,
Who got the nail out of it's gorge,
Wayne the Whale left with a flip of his tail.


Wayne and Tracey - a Sonnet Duet

Would you compare me to a summer’s day?
     No chance, you look more like a wet week-end
     But we’ve been married 30 years, this May
     And all that time, you drove me round the bend

     We’ve had three kids, of whom we’re more than proud
     I’ll give you that, they’ve all turned out not bad
     And you are never shy to say aloud
     I know - that you’re the best I’ve ever had 

     But we both know I was your first and last
     And I knew that you’d loved and lost before
     But now our love has settled, strong and fast
     I guess that’s true, I’m sorry I’m a bore

     You’re my bore, Wayne – and we’ll both be OK
     As long as we survive Valentine’s Day!

Acrostic For Wayne

Works too hard to catch a pound of fat on his waist
Always sees life as a to do list and an artistic canvas
Yearns for hot lead and targets infinite, one more gun please
Needs love and affection in the form of a hug or two often.
Energetic worry-wort such that he is a bit OC

Premium Member John Wayne the Jokester

His last days
in his dreams
in Jamaica mon
The capital Kingston
He prayed to the heavens
Gods only laughed
in the Caribbean waves
as this small minded 
prang called
the pond of frogs
glorious

Unbreakable, a Friendly Collaboration With Wayne Hill

You are the wild grass growing between the sidewalk crack.
The support you need rests on my sturdy, rugged back.
I am the peak sheltering you from flashing thunderstorms.
The path we walk, I will clear of thistles and sharp thorns.
Life's meaning is clear when shared with an eternal friend.
And time will know about our unbreakable strength.
Worry not about the whirlwind of the past.
Rough surfaces will no longer last.
As I promise you a peaceful tomorrow.
By drinking the bitter ocean of yesterday's sorrow.





It was great fun collaborating with a very Talented Wayne Hill. The first five lines were written by Wayne and last five lines by me [ Smriti Jha]

Premium Member I Loved You, John Wayne

I loved you John Wayne!
		I wished you were my father
		or maybe an older brother 
		who’d tutor me to be tough
		when manners weren’t enough
		and toughness was needed
		that civility be heeded
		and not to brag or complain.
		O I loved you John Wayne!

		As soon as I was old enough 
		to earn the price of admission	
		I saw your films in succession
		at the first run houses down 
		in the big deal part of town
		and enshrined each one on a list
		taped to my bedside wall
		and read about the ones I’d missed.
		Shucks, I loved you most of all!

		Fort Apache and Red River
		took pride of place on the page;
		they’d eaten up my weekly wage.
		I missed the Yellow Ribbon;
		I hoped I’d be forgiven.
		At the Rio and the Broad
		(in a dicey neighborhood)
		I atoned with films you’d done
		before I was even born.

		Western after Western
		and tales of oil and whiskey
		and scheming ladies, O so risky!
		I hoped I’d be excused
		when I compromised my muse
		by adding well-built gals
		to Duke and all his pals.
		Montez, Russell, and Lake
		made my hormones quake.

		O I loved you, John Wayne.
		I could feel your bashful pain
		When the pretty lady roped you
		and hat in hand you’d bow,
		the furrow deepening on your brow,
		and utter monosyllables plus “Ma’am,”
		no longer a ram, more like a lamb.
		O I shared you pain, John Wayne!

		And still I loved you John Wayne,
		your true grit and donnybrook,
		your menacing brow, the look
		that said, “Enough, my friend.
		“This bull is going to end!”
		You swaggered? (not quite it--
		as if your boots didn’t quite fit?)
		You took him by the horns and shook;
		Plomp! Down went the snook!

		How I loved you, John Wayne!
		And I love you still when again I see
		the doughty Duke on my smart TV
		as much as Papa’s lone old man,
	        with fish chewed down to the bone
		loved Joltin’ Joe Dimaggio
		when the Clipper’s legs began to go
		and he was hobbled by his heel.
		John Wayne, you were the real deal.

"the Challenging Passion/ Co-Writter Wayne Streeter

The challenge for all relationships today is to be passionate friday to Friday.
To have a inner-friendship thats commentable in caring thursday to Thursday.
The secret to the cornerstone of your heart(for each other) is understanding
the expectation of mistakes(cause there will-be some) wednesday to Wednesday.
Can we have passionate romance outside of the "bedroom", (Yes) when? we are
around each other in the high-noontuesday to Tuesday.
When we disagree against the odds monday to Monday.
And you teach-me the latest fashion sunday to Sunday.
And together we'll face, "The Challenging Passion" saturday to Saturday.

7-days a week is more than I deserve for my action/The Challenging Passion.

Be Like John Wayne

Written April 14, 2017


It's easy to fall in love
Even easier to break apart
I've been trying for six long years
To mend this broken heart

You used to talk to me so sweet
My biggest fan in the bleacher seats
From the rose bush to the baseball bat
Why'd you have to go and be like that

Why don't you just be like John Wayne
Why'd you go and have to die
Why don't you just be like John Wayne
Even he cried sometimes

Life never looked so bleak
Than the day you left me
It's easy to forgive sometimes
But this ain't one of those times

Sticks and stones may break my bones
Glass houses are all I've known
From the salt shaker to the baseball bat
Why'd you have to go and be like that

Why don't you just be like John Wayne
Why'd you go and have to die
Why don't you just be like John Wayne
Even he cried sometimes

Premium Member Wayne the Great Dane - Nursery Rhyme

Wayne a Great Dane, 
   from a princely court 
      was playing in the courtyard. 
         He rolled and fell short 
            in the castle moat.

A good sport 
   he was. With laughter roar 
      from the royal court; 
         out his nose water he snorted.

Premium Member Springtime In Wayne County Indiana

'Tis glorious springtime agin in Wayne County, Indiana!
(Never mind that a blizzard jes' blew in frum Montana!)
Folks wuz beginnin' to till their gardens to plant pertaters,
And wuz bustin' clods to set out plants uv beefsteak termaters!

Guys is tinkerin' with their mowers though they run in fits and starts.
Shucks! They cain't use 'em nohow till the snow and ice departs!
Folks'll swat at muskeeters searchin' fer elusive morel mushrooms.
All these pesky things will be forgotten if'n ever the peonies blooms!

Cardinals and robins returnin' home by the snow is confused.
Them hearty "snowbirds" comin' back from Floriday ain't amused!
But all too soon they'll face the stiflin' humidity and heat.
Come this October they'll return to their Dixie Land retreat!

Farmers is tunin' John Deeres to plow but the ground is froze.
They cain't even rely on the Farmer's Almanac, heaven knows!
Jes' when the apple, peach and mulberry trees wuz all abloom,
Along came the springtime freeze and, alas, they met their doom!

Another thing that has some Hoosier folks in a terrible snit,
Is the change to daylight savin's time but they'll git over it.
The good folks of Wayne County have jes' one simple request:
"Montana! We'd be obliged if'n you kept yer weather way out west!"
