Hockey Poems

Calvin’s Heart Beats Orange and Blue

In Edmonton’s chill, where the faithful stand,
Calvin cheers loud with a firebrand.
From Gretzky’s grace to Messier’s might,
He’s lived and breathed each game night.

He knows the legends—Kurri, Fuhr, Coffey—
Their names like verses in hockey’s poetry.
Now it's Connor, blazing past the pack,
And Draisaitl keeping defenders back.

With Bouchard’s blast and Skinner’s saves,
Calvin stands tall through losses and waves.

MinceMeat Chronicles RagMag Interview Double Bogey

I reed-member the time when
we were down ; we were suspended by
the promoter in the South Side League
this guy owned both a Hockey teaam, a Roller Derby Team
and he was a Wrestling Promoter.
I got suspended and couldn't
get a job due to him owning every team or company in the area.
I gotta call from "Begging Idiouce"

Premium MemberThe Unfired Shot

“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” ? Wayne Gretzky”

Where courage sleeps, and doubt begins to bloom,
There stands a chance, unseen, unheard, unknown.
A fleeting moment, poised to meet its doom,
Unless brave hands reach out and claim its own.

For in the realm of dreams, where shadows play,
And whispered fears may hold ambition fast,
A single

The Mourning Womb

My daughter Louisiana 
where did it go wrong ?
Why have you become so greedy 
Greedy that you feed on your own offsprings
Intoxicated by drinking the blood of your own children 
Your sister’s wombs are cracking with terror 
Because of what you do to their children
 
Isn’t America the peace maker a woman who every man

      The defenseman stole the puck

        He still didn’t score
        The game was a bore

      Hockey’s a game for Canucks

Canucks

Hearts shattered
Open ice
Friendly smiles
Competitions vice

A tie, they say
A game well loved
How can we win
When peace is the ideal above

We slaughter them humanely 
We butcher them halal
Oil don't do well on our coast
And Orca's don't do well there

Are we better at entertaining than winning?
Now there's an original thought
We'd better burey the Oilers
Otherwise we'll get caught

When Dreams Met the Eiffel Tower

A dream for many a watch for some  
The Olympic journey, Here it comes!!  
It was in Paris, few days ago  
It rushed a shiver from the head to the toe.  

Flags carried through the Seine river  
The horse was galloping in the water, even the ring of the high

Premium MemberAnd Then There Was Hockey

The oncoming winter is fast approaching
With my limited mobility not looking forward 
Some would classify me as a shut-in
I truly don't have a problem with that

Taking into consideration my advanced age
Not knowing how much longer I have
'Tis better to be frugal than frivolous
Have been extremely fortunate lucky so far

My childhood goes way back to a
