Long Stomping ground Poems

Could you be the Trojan horse,
To bypass the defences of my heart?
Let harmless acts of kindness, run a course,
Break all barriers, to the tiniest part

For once there was, a fancy conqueror,
With soldiers and horses, and...

I fast boy, this aint no foot race
What you playing?
What, you think you got a game ginni in your game pack
Well, I paint Black
And stain them in Pain on rare occasions
Occassionaly coming up in death...

Been beat up and brought down
Been stepped on and spit on
Been lost but now I’m found

O

I am not going to be the devils punching bag anymore

Been called out MY name
Nothing but the Christian name ma...

Working for Snarl-Mart

By Elton Camp

Snarl-Mart’s lots to blame, I suppose
When some local stores had to close
The places run by Mom and Pop,
Slow sales just made them stop

Snarl-Mart can sell at prices retail
For less than they...

spring day, window down, cool breeze blows through my hair
i come upon an old stomping ground, an abandon chicken coop,
i turn off the engine; the smell of the almond blossoms brings back memories
high school parties,...

(or, "Your Old Stomping Ground")

There’s a secretary that I know
whose husband recently died
But life somehow continues as before
She has to keep replicating the myth
that everything’s all right –
A savant of the copy machines
A mannequin in...

The Laskey brothers owned a farm, a lovely little spot.
A babbling brook made merry mist when summer nights were hot.
And that’s when Jacob filled his pipe and sat upon a boulder.
The smoke arose, a haloed...

For my would•have•been diamond in the rough
I hope my love for you someday will be enough
If it's not, baby, it's all that I've got
Showing my heart mercy is what I ask the lot
'Cause my heartstrings...

The tears burn my skin as they stream down my face
Dripping slowly to the floor
Crashing and shattering on impact
Just as the many pieces of my broken heart have done
You betrayed all of us
It did not...

Deity
Definition: a God, God like, Goddess, or a holy person

I am a deity
When it comes to poetry
So, please think carefully before you speak to me
Like, Langston Hughes “I am the dream holder”
Lyrical soldier

What a weekend I’ve just had 
There I was, gaily skipping along 
When I got lured down an unknown 
path 
by the sound of my own voice 
I followed, to explore new terrain
Soon got lost...

I have my platinum muse
It is a flighty, windy memory
Of a memorable, miserable encounter
With someone that reminded me...

I have not even fooled myself
Into believing something so weak
As the crippled, dying cupid
That is love at first...

Wonders of the world abound
on our earthly stomping ground,
in the seven seas profound,
midst the heavens round us wound.

Images from reaches vast
by astronomers amassed
show in varicolored cast,
cosmic glories unsurpassed,

stories of the great immense,
begging questions why and...

I'm just two seconds away from losing my mind...
I worry ,toss, and turn and sleep is hard to find...
The things I go through no one knows the Hell in which I live...
He takes and all...

If I were an elephant, I'd lumber around
Gracefully plodding on my stomping ground
If I were an elephant, I'd flap my ears
High above the savannah with no equals or peers
If I were an elephant, I'd cover...

Saw a blurb on MetFest
Held today, at the museum.*
Musical performances
Outdoors – I had to see ‘em.

A former stomping ground
Pre-Covid, but it’s been a while.
Once there, ‘twas like I never left;
I couldn’t help but smile.

The melting...

Dear Mama, walking and thinking of my childhood days,
waves of memories crashing in, as I hit replay.
You're in every scene, appearing with the morning light.
I can talk to you, even though you're far from my...

I get jealous 
over prose 
who possess the room through her lips 
phonetic, 
white lightening, 
kissing the air with their intonations, 
evoking 
my frontal lobe 
with alliteration and rhythm 
the shoes 
upon which to stomp...

Treading on topic the logical man fears,
So potent it's like a ringing in his ear,
Its a stomp on his stomping ground without your knowledge,
Of even knowing the affect of its topic,
Defenses rise from an outward...

Leather was absolutely everywhere
The smell of liquor lingered throughout
Long hair, spiked hair, blue hair, green hair
The music was what it was about

We, as teens, came forth in droves
To get polluted and to listen real good
Totally...

A meathead is definitely not an ostracised ostrich, a warbling wavering walrus, a small but vintage vibrant beetroot who claps in time, a mascot at a match, a backwards facing grinning umbrella in bright sunlight,...

An ill tempered young woman who claims to love god but hates authority; yet she spews blunder and blasphemy in her painstaking state of gossip.

While I sit and listen to her menace like behavior; similar...

The heads did bid me to the place
For a toll of thirty and some.
Where the trees are green,
The earth is brown,
And all the flowers flourish in-between.

With heed I rolled about the place
For a spell of...
