Florida Poems - Poems about Florida

I am poor and Black, living in Florida, Where the sun shines bright but justice hides. My rent climbs higher than my paycheck dares, And landlords call it legal—so it stands. I walk through heat that melts my hope, No breeze for me, no break in sight. Police lights flicker like a warning flame— Too often, they stop me, never explain. The schools...

The river runs with silver light, A ribbon wound through fields of white. The moon looks down, so round, so bright, On love that whispered in the night. She walked alone, her heart so wild, A dreamer lost, a trusting child. Soft words had lured her to the deep, Where water sings and shadows creep. Beneath the branches bending low, She met the one...

Tick-tick. The countdown starts, Dreams ignite in hopeful hearts. Eyes so wide, they cannot stray, The Florida sky calls them to stay. Whoosh. Whoosh. A rocket’s flame, A silver arrow carves its name. Thirty-eight years, yet echoes ring, Of seven souls who chased the spring. Boom. Boom. The morning cracked, A plume of white, the silence stacked. “What happened?” they cried, young voices shake, As innocence crumbles with the...

the air reeks of stale coffee and ink-stamped lies, judges sit like smug kings, smirking over lives they'll never live, dismissing truth with a gavel's cough. innocent men shuffle like cattle, faces drawn, hands calloused from the grind— plead guilty or rot waiting. 'justice, ' they call it, while the lawyers get fat off their despair. the court stenographer types it all up, the lies,...

Beneath the palm trees, Santa sighed, forlorn, His sleigh stuck fast, his reindeer worn and still. The Florida sun rose bright that Christmas morn, A far cry from the frosty North Pole's chill. The elves devised a clever, timely scheme: They called on dolphins to replace the sleigh. With flippers strong, they swam like in a dream, And Santa laughed, "We'll save...

In Florida, Santa was found stranded, All drivers grew wary of his white beard, Yet, his gifts they had earlier demanded, To everyone, he then looked somehow weird. But soon came a driver dressed all in red, Who believed that Santa was a spirit, So, he slowly approached with a bowed head, His problem, he believed he would solve it. He was happy...

That was an extraordinary Christmas eve for Santa to remember. In colorful fancy wraps he packed all the gifts through the night, loaded them on the sleigh until the dawn’s first sunlight shined, when on snow-laid track the reindeer led by Rudolph charged. After a while chilled breeze stopped flowing across Santa’s face, warm winds blowing over palm trees and...

But on going to the South side of U.S, he felt, heat waves surround So humid it was in Florida with a warm weather all day round. The sultry heat of Key West and Miami made them so testy. He...

The North Pole life can be so hard. Poor Santa longed to take a break. His missus told him, “Off we go to Florida. It’s for your sake!” While he lounged by the indoor pool, she vamoosed with a young masseur in Santa’s car with all his cash. This vicious blow he would endure. He called Rudolph: “I’m stranded here. I want to...

Santa and reindeer's were very tired, they had one more area left to do. This last place was very big, it's name was Florida. They must come in over land, hitting the water they will make a huge splash. Rudolph must see the tall lighthouse, a bright light lighting their way. It was a hard landing on the sand, the sled broke. Sunny Florida...
