Premium Member The Poetic Commander Raven

Did the belt? Get its way? 
Wearing the pants of those who earn, just enough pay 
Commander should want to know 
Since dropping programs is a no go 
Stated from an image that used to be a spear 
Controlling those inner circle cheers 
Enjoying a Miller Busch beer 
Once again red skin sometimes burned 
Trying to learn 
How to use the tanning bed 
Playing with the voter's head 
Mailing it in, using Fed Ex 
Many gave RFK Stadium, a gut check 
Finding much decay 
Washington could not play 
And with the colts gone 
Northern harbor city needed a new dawn 
The Raven chapter was written 
Poe ghost was smitten 
This idea is most fitten 
Author spirit did concur 
Wanting the haunting message  to be heard 
About this dirty bird 
Who could make a stir 
When the powers that be 
Have a late luncheon tea 
To discuss a reason 
Why both should not have a successful season 
Since two hundred fifty years ago 
There were numerous Poes 
Who were just average Joes 
Challenging the King 
And his crowning aristocratic bling 
Until blood was shed 
And people were dead 
Tonight 
When DC and Baltimore stage this fight
Remember poems can spin a tale 
That could catch the rhythmic sail 
And become an anthem 
Of one poetic phantom 
Named Poe 
Who you all know? 
Since he took things to the grave 
Being brave 
Speaking his mind 
Only making a few dimes 
Unlike the Washington Times 
Who love the moon 
And its galactic enchanting swoon 
Where the wolf's howl 
When the commander's scowl 
Turning men into beasts 
Making them tackle in peace 
Not allowing anyone to die 
Due to a miscommunication lie 
Which could result in lives saying goodbye 
Lets play this football game 
And remember the name 
Who passed in shame 
Drunk 
As a skunk 
And should be warning to the rookie sleeping in the top bunk
It is not nice to hurl 
On the first ladies pearls 
You are not getting any referral 
Earl 
Instead, a yellow flag
Replacing a body bag 
And upon another review 
That is honestly pretty cool

As We Metamorphose

As we metamorphose
away from mumbo-jumbo,
we cleave to poetry, abandon prose.

Science is the only one that knows.
I saw it on “Colombo”.
A laptop’s far more useful than a rose.

Remember Walden Pond, and when it froze?
Or when Aunt Bernadette prepared that gumbo?
You won’t forget the north wind when it blows!

America’s best movie? If it chose,
the Number One would probably be ‘Dumbo’.
And ‘Tik Tak Toe’ would be the Show of Shows.

We all have sadness, live through woes,
but strong folk are not looking for macumba.
Rain falls – that’s all we need suppose.

Just check your seams are straight: adjust your hose,
and get out there and trip a raunchy rumba.
You know the tune real well. It’s one of those.

You think that milk and honey are what flows?
I’d like to see you tell Patrice Lumumba!
It’s been that way for many other Joes.

Art long, life short? The poem has to close.
But maybe, from the shadow of the tumba,
some vestige will remain for you to gloze.

Gone To East Jesus

A big-headed dreamer, pockets full of hope
Say, that and five bucks gets you a cup of joe
Worn out Army boots and my Goodwill coat
Sky's overcast and it feels like snow

Rolling on good time, guitar by my side
I'm gone to East Jesus on a westbound ride

Left Mississippi, too many ghosts back home
So I headed out west chasing my next song
Got hassled in Houston by some local Joes
San Antonio's cool, I saw the Alamo

Rolling on good time, guitar by my side
I'm gone to East Jesus on a westbound ride

California's crazy, Sugarcane Sadie
Showed me a good time
That desert moon and those Dylan tunes
Still playing in my mind

In the middle of nowhere where the wind blows free
I think a while in Slab City might be good for me
Salvation Mountain like a beacon shown
The Word of God painted stone on stone

Rolling on good time, guitar by my side
I'm gone to East Jesus on a westbound ride
Rolling on good time, guitar by my side
I'm gone to East Jesus on a westbound ride

A big-headed dreamer, pockets full of hope
Say, that and five bucks gets you a pack of smokes
Worn out Army boots and my Goodwill coat
Sky's overcast and it feels like snow

Premium Member Bugs Bunny For President

In past elections I’ve heard told
Voters adding an extra box and throwing old Bugs into the fold
How bad does it really have to be?
Could Bugs Bunny maybe help set us free?

Poor Elmer Fudd would definitely be of no assist
They took away his gun, no proper reach around and no kiss
Daffy Duck has also taken his leave and gone south
He was just no match for Bidens quick wit or Trumps loose mouth

But seriously folks I think we are all screwed
We’re damned if we don’t and damned if we do
Some say the Donald is a little bit touched
But what’s left of Joes faculties, not much

As we get closer to election day, reality will surely bend
Beware of fake news my friends and this apocalyptic end
I know who I’m voting for, me and my toot toot
Bugs Bunny for president, now wouldn’t that be a hoot

Florida Nature

Joes corner

 Joe watched every morning,
The sun that pecked over the trees in the distance view,
Watched has the sun rays drifted over his row of growing veg,
He sat in his rocking chair and waited for the birds morning calls, 
Beautiful musical song,
He sat and whistled along,
The breeze would add the slapping of the leafs,
It would often sound like the melody to Mother Nature’s song,
The swaying of the rivers waters and the drew drops splashing the river below,
To Joe sounded like the beat to Mother Nature’s song,
Joe loved to watch from his pouch,
The beauty in his flora home,
A farm handed down,
To him from his father and his glad to call it home,

Premium Member Rueben Sandwiches

I've traveled the world o'er and consider myself a connoisseur,
Of the sandwich specialities of many a haughty entrepreneur.
I've sunk my teeth into tuna fish and spicy barbecue,
But there ain't nothin' like a rueben and  a cold, foamy brew!

Fable has it that the reuben was concocted by one Rueben Kay,
Circa nineteen fifty-five during a poker game one fine day.
He certainly did his part to put Omaha, Nebraska on the map.
I will ever appreciate the culinary skills of that fine chap!

Ah, my taste buds just tingle thinking about this luscious repast.
The unlikely ingredients of a rueben sandwich are unsurpassed!
Corned beef, swiss cheese and heaps of sauerkraut,
Tucked between slices of rye with horseradish, just a wee amount!

There are many sandwich delicacies to choose from, I do declare,
But if there's a reuben listed on the restaurant's bill of fare,
You can rest assured that is what I will always opt for;
That's a forgone conclusion even before I enter the door!

I've devoured greasy hamburgers, hotdogs and sloppy joes by the score,
Ham and cheese, chicken salad and fancy finger sandwiches galore,
Even concocted my own version of the famous Dagwood Bumstead,
But any time a rueben is proffered, I'll take one of them instead!

Premium Member Rare God-Places

Am I a waiter or a warrior, a visionary, or wall watcher?
Am I a strategist or fighting activist?

Sometimes, I feel that I'm just a nesting dove.
Perhaps at any given season, I'm all the above.

If we care enough to share in the intimate places with
God, we must dare to breathe that great and rare air of God.         .                                                

Come with me to a world of questions and mysteries.
Allow me to muse my way into some unpleasant places;

Places of craving for the face of God but finding no trace.
I speak not of people wearing holy halos or holy Joes.

I'm talking about Ordinary Mary and Everyday John going about
Their routine lives with a longing desire for a God-centered life.

You may not concur; yours may be a different world,
Or perhaps you've never ventured into the murky waters

Of your soul as have I.  Anyway, this place is real.
On occasions, my soul longs to see, to hear, to feel,

To touch and be touched, to sense and taste God
In unusual, yet Biblical ways. That longing, that deep                             

desire of which I speak is not always or should I say, is seldom 
reciprocated.  It could also be that I get distracted and fail to                     

recognize God's reply. Am I making sense so far, or am I stranded
On an island alone?  Anyway, the sign I long to see is a 'no show',

And it seems that God hides himself from me, for my good of course.
It's when the voice, the sounds I expect to hear are not there or so faint    

and distant as to not be useful.  Or when God is silent, or so it seems. Or       
when I do not feel Him or His Presence, and/or in fact, none of my sensory 

faculties are in tune sufficiently to benefit. My best guess is that we are in "a trust only zone" where we feel at our lowest, but in  reality, there is that side 

of us being informed that we are experiencing our finest hour.  I tell you, this
present muse was inspired by a conversation last night with close  friends. 

We concluded that we, whether dove or warrior, are always benefactors of   his love because God is faithful, and in His time, he makes all things beautiful.

Premium Member Halloween

The thirty first of October is Halloween
‘Spooky Joes ‘party will be the best you’ve seen
He drew up a list of who to invite
It was going to be one scary night.

Dracula, Mummy and Frankenstein
With big black dogs that bark and whine
Werewolves and Ghouls are coming too
To ‘Spooky Joes ‘Halloween do.

Terrifying pumpkins with candlelight
Guaranteed to give you a fright 
Green slime and cobwebs adorn his door
With spiders crawling all over the floor.

With the north wind blowing and a moon so bright
Conditions were perfect for the night
Trick or treat kids up and down the streets
Asking for money or a bag of sweets.

‘Spooky Joe’s party was now in full swing
The blood was flowing and so was the gin
A surprise was planned for later that night
Guaranteed to give his guests a fright.

The coach and horses from the other side 
Would arrive at midnight to give his guests a ride
Where it would take them no one can tell
It could be paradise or the fires of hell.

Premium Member What's the Harm

The more I learn the less I know
global warming closing Eskimo Joes
Rivers run down but the Nile runs up
first taste of beer from a tippy cup
Dead birds pile high at a windmill farm
going green what's the harm
Lets say we will when we won't
Lets say we did than don't
Take the jab against your will
when all you needed was a cheap pill
Praying for rain in a flood
soon we will all be living in huts of mud
No more baths save water instead
some days best to stay in bed
Little boys now are little girls vice versa
gender confusing children makes it worsa
The Big Lie now Stop the Steal
fake media governs with the unreal
Essentials gone shelves are empty
Let's Go Brandon, where's our Horn of Plenty
Crime wave swells to floods
life was better funding the Fuzz
Feeling red while forced by blue
Big Orange Monster we miss you
