Cole Poems - Poems about Cole

Perhaps he's crackers to embrace glitz (to paraphrase Irving Berlin) 'Putin on the Ritz' tho' 'Sometimes something is better than nothing' went the writing on the wall yet 'Too much of nothing' (wrote the Zimmerman) is really no good at all and 'Everything comes to those who wait' an optimist put in prose but Cole Porter said it best when he wrote, 'Anything Goes' ...

Icebergs floated all around me – frozen is no place to safely flee. I fell down on an ice crystal, then I heard you whistle and felt myself turn towards bold so I could leave this place so cold. So many crevices and cracks. Frigid ice coated my back. A glacier's huge backhand flew our memories to slush land. As my shivers began to shake, I...

A few notes set a rhythm The foxtrot beckons Across the crowded room they smile Nat's melodic tone frames the dance Towards each other they move And then they are one Bodies locked in a dance embrace The romantic shades of four-four time Float across the meadows of their hearts Effortlessly they glide across the floor Feather step, reverse turn, natural weave Flowing movements are but...

...or It's good to be the king! What was't made King Cole Such a merry old soul As he sucked on his pipe, And he supped from his bowl, And he fiddled around With three young court musicians? And what was the role Of his missus, Queen Cole? Was she under a table With a lad from the stable Who was told he'd be able To upgrade...

The sky is well-lighted with bright stars The streets are littered with shiny cars The motorists are playing Xmas carols The children are excited ‘cause Mr. Claus Papa Noel is coming in person tonight To bring toys to boys who did not fight This year and gifts to girls and gals Who have been good all year long Let's sing along, let's sing...

Good King Cole And he call'd for his Bowle, And he call'd for Fiddler's three: And there was Fiddle, Fiddle, And twice Fiddle, Fiddle, For 'twas my lady's Birth-day, Therefore we kept Holy-day And come to be marry...

The man they called 'King' On Chicago's South Side With a voice smooth as silk Pearly teeth smiling wide Hit after hit, from 'Mona Lisa' To 'Unforgettable' Not a number one hit among them ~ Whites wary of his ghetto pull...

Cole hated rainy days. He looked out of his window. He watched the raindrops bounce off the ground. Through grey clouds, a beam of light touched his face. "Why are you hiding, Mr. Sun? Did you have a bad day today?" Mr. Sun frowned and hid his face. The clouds yelled at Cole. "Why do...

Personal Nat King Cole Inspired Tears streaming, come to life, from these brown eyes, eyes that have been as dry as a popcorn fart, out in the middle of some desert and as dead as road kill on the Q. E., at the height of rush hour traffic. A heart, dead, for longer than I care to remember. Death, dyeing are but empty...

George Washington Cole 1827 – 1911 So here I sleep. Buried in this dirt. Covered in this earth. Returning to the dust. Finding heaven in the whispers of the wind. And as for all my friends here, All these stilled silent voices of Clark Cemetery, We represent just a single sand pebble Just a minute solitary dust particle In an ever expanding infinite universe Of shadows and...

He is a San Diego native southpaw. One of the best young pitchers I ever saw. The Phillies chose him first in 2002. In 2006 was his big league debut. He has made his presence felt with all the teams. He can baffle the best of hitters, it seems. With wins and strikeouts, he will be the team’s ace. Nobody can knock...
