Long Mount rushmore Poems

Mount Rushmore; Carved In Stone

From deep within the earth’s crust,
An orogeny pushes
The batholith upwards
To become ‘The Shrine of Democracy,’
Of weathered presidential faces
Chiseled in rock in South Dakota;
Representing 150 years of history
(From birth of a nation
To...

The making of a legend, those born with the pioneer spirit
Of individuality, bred deeply within their soul.
Such was this man we called, Mr. President, Theodore Roosevelt.

that these winter months sure are dull,

I looked up at the mountain,
the result - I was in awe!
George, Teddy, Tom, and Abe,
were the faces, that I saw!

Faces carved in granite.
Fourteen years, to get it done!
Over 400 people did the stonework,
completed -...

“Fear Mongers”

Newspapers yelling, 
TVs screaming,
Radios blaring.
Is this what we want?
Is this what we need?

Politicians lying,
Preachers ranting,
Black men dying,
Mothers crying.
Is this what we want?
Is this what we need?

Breaking news,
More breaking news.
Shootings here,
Robberies there,
More mothers crying.
Is this...

We were thrown in the back of a pick-up truck camper in 1964,
My twin sister, my brother, and me. We were all fighting age.
There was a mattress, comic books, three pillows, and an ice chest.

For there is freedom on 
top of the mount,
as I quench my thirst
from the Niagara Falls fount.
I have seen the Rockies 
and the Appalachians,
on journeys to other states
for family vacations. 

Mother Nature calls the
Bald Eagle...

Some poets rhyme, some poets don't
I prefer to write in rhyme
A personal choice I've had from the start
Quatrains are where I shine

Tried some others, they're not for me
Just a simple kind of a poet
There's a...

I was supposed to be queen of something by now.
Or king or czar or at least mayor.
Ruling people in such a way that they fawn over me.

I was supposed to be on magazine covers.

The sun rose, the moon set
Life's wheels went into reverse
And Mount Rushmore does not have a new face

The groundhog went back into his hole
Santa did not deliver gifts to the poor
Food prices went up ...

I was running from the man

Or the cops if you please

 I hopped over a fence

Landed funny, scraped my knee

 

Looked around and saw a shack

Hoped for comfort and ease

Like a hooker in church

Sweating on...

What proud Americans see,
has been done before
Graven image glory ...
Mount Rushmore
Four faces carved into 
a mountainside
South Dakota idols looks like 
the one in southern Sudan
Mount Abu Simbel,
circa 1200 B.C.
Four Pharaoh figures
standing tall 100 feet
Graven images...

Where it’s mighty bleak, uninviting, and cold
Nor to South Dakota just to see Mount Rushmore
Where there is no longer any gold, so I am told.

My lust for her was as big as Mount Rushmore

Gutzon Borglum and four hundred other talented people carved Mount Rushmore.
They began in 1927 and finished fourteen years later during the second World
