Coney Poems - Poems about Coney

Father Drinan

Father Drinan took his class to Coney Island Beach,
He thought the sand and ocean could also teach.
They ran to Nathan's hot dogs, then sunk in deck chairs,
Until a hungry seagull took them unawares.

(bridge)
The seagull grabbed a hotdog from poor Joey McBride,
A clever attack, swooping in from the side.
The kids all laughed, Joey let out a

Brooklyn Cyclone Number Nine

Brooklyn Cyclone number nine 
Is not ready to decline 
Clipity clop it climbs 
Into the blue sky where the sun shines 
Until it turns orange while enjoying evening wine 
There is magic in the air 
Summer loving with the one who cares 
Flashing lights all around 
Tradition of a rural community fairground
Instead this is on

Coney Island Fair

I must have been around seventeen years old
when I went to the Coney Island Fair,
not for the tasty hot dogs and burgers cooked on coal
but for the thrilling ride on the Cyclone Roller Coaster!


I put on a brave face, but wind and speed made me feel horrible,
I wanted to scream and yell, " Stop...this is

In Coney Island

The Fourth’s the day for fireworks
And barbecues and beer,
But there’s another custom
That takes place but once a year:

The hot dog eating contest!
And the champs are all prepared,
While only those insane enough
To challenge will have dared.

The five-time winner, Joey Chestnut,
Weighing just 210,
Devoured sixty-eight last year
And wants to win again.

The female best contestant,
Soaking wet one hundred pounds,
Ate

Coney Island Ad 1829- 2011

The fall of Rome
The sack of it
The glory that was
Is only a memory embedded in the 
Souvenirs and documents of the past
For the newly arrived to imagine upon and reconstruct Rome
In their minds.
      Glory to god

The fences go up and down,
In and out.
The holes spread out and decay
And those holding

Recluse At Coney

Recluse at Coney


how does one handle
nude on the beach
extremities starfished
almost asleep
how does one handle
the talons, the beaks

Coney Island Baby
Let’s take the subway 
Cool off at a Brooklyn beach
On this dreamy steamy day

Coney Island Baby
Glamorous, amorous and fair
Rising from the platinum waves
Aphrodite with windswept hair

Shells on the shore
Sand on our toes
Seahorses dart
Love blooms in our anemone hearts

Coney Island Baby
Let’s go to the Penny Arcade 
Stroll

Coney Island Baby

Coney Island
And your windswept hair
Reminds me
Of Aphrodite
Rising from the platinum waves

Love is flowering
In my anemone heart 
Do you suppose it 
Mere folly
To think this mere mortal could:

Kiss your sensual dolphin lips?
Nibble here and there
On your adorable scallop ears?
Sample the rapturous flavor
Of your salty sea favors?

Seagulls circling overhead
Laugh and taunt
"You think you can have her?" 

I
