Best Widescreen Poems

The evening  sky invites me to gaze
Beyond the porch’s open window,
Igniting my senses to reflect about
Bygone days like one long replay
Where parts of  time appear from a widescreen...
Lingering  on, a hundred diamond stars
Flicker  towards a dull,  grey mural:
The Moon, not...

Slipping gently towards entropy,
Ownership with an apostrophe.
Braid the loose frays of sanity
Till something true finally answers me.

Troops are marching over many lands,
Tagged cornflower blue--a worldwide brand.
Don't speak out or you will be banned,
Towers implode just as they've planned.

Constantine merged Rome's faiths to one
Keeping time and...

This is the first in a trilogy of poems that comprise the first 2 years of big bens career as the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback so sit back and enjoy.

I was at my favorite sports bar
Rooting on my favorite team
They were playing hard
Up on the big...

Through a glazed nightfall shimmering on meadows
Gold rays, moontones, widescreen-to-sky entices
When stars bloom freely on southern hour, find me
Tracing dusk's lattice


Catch the mist aflight before the glow withers
While basin of light reaches its finale,
Then my skin will begin to memorize
One nocturnal trail

Ernestine and her friends sweet sixteen
Jean   Irene   Josephine   and Pauline

Dolled up in glamorous aubergine velveteen
Dreamt of being harvest queens on Halloween

Living it up Eugene drove their limousine 
Directly to the drive-in theater widescreen

And there He was   ...

Monday night. Moving magazines. Aimed dead at killing an evening, my fingers target =========
These same old four buttons;  >.

1, 2, 3, 4. Five’s a pipedream. Gaudy, small-minded and trapped in affected Americana.
Just like whatever the hell this is. Too much smiling.

Watching old black & white movies
On a widescreen, HD-TV,
Mocks the classic style that we once loved.
Yet we are tolerant as we scowl at the visage;
As though the original film is what's wrong with the world;
That by viewing our faults, we might blame the medium.

But despite...

there’s no place like home; 
really, I mean it: there’s no place, 
face, or orbit  the earth space… 
like home; 

and there’s no place like your couch,
and your widescreen TV;  with it’s 
clouded, cultured  dreams and  
potted dramas without an end;

there’s...

A widescreen angle of a steel rimmed fish is rumored to be rhymed with the stark motionless spectacles which are glimmering on the small oak table akin to spare ratchets or a rusted piece of metal. It is imperative on this particular journey to have...

Nestled in his recliner,
His body oozes into the grooves, 
Filling up every nook, every cranny
Until a synergistic union of man and
La-Z-Boy is achieved.  
His eyes are unreceptive, half closed watching his
High definition plasma widescreen;
Yet they remain constant on the TV,
Like a doctor staring at...

This is dedicated to the one I loved
The hospital truths that are never spoken
White tape and hazy drugs
A look from the past
Presuming the unpresumed
You have rattled the ships beneath the murky waves
You are riding the storm
In my name, my clothes, my badges of honour
Grasping at...

A blanket of stars sweep the coming night--
Hollywood bound-- their castles and sacred walls.
Gossip and bribery become their industry tools,
the crucifixes they wear-- another piece in their collection.
Their ancestors may not have been so black and white,
a widescreen decorated with such colourful fools,
blood diamond draped...

-The King's Dead-

Suddenly, I see. Chicken pox, is full of bandwagons.

Not the biggest reach for a climb to mount Everest.

It’s a bold statement with eternal boundaries.

Headshot, then I freaked it.

Mess my life up fam.

Don’t appreciate the sound of silence when the wind pipes down.

Working on...

We’ve all been young dumb 
and unaware so has everyone, 
we too were the first generation 
growing up with tech others hadn’t 

I was born last century so to kids I’m old 
Born the same year as Back To The Future
