North Carolina Poems - Poems about North Carolina

I took my bike on Amtrak, got off at Charlottesville. Climbed up to the Blue Ridge parkway, the first of many a hill. I met a Canadian Carpenter as I got closer to N.C. He was cycling alone; his wife would meet him in Miami. We shared some jokes and when food ran low resupplied at the green valley of...

The streets are filled with crying men, filling the gutters up with tears. As we walk from our final shift, that’s fed us for a hundred years. Eleven hundred jobs vanished, like a leaf caught upon the wind. And Canton North Carolina, will never be the same again. What’s in store for us tomorrow, no one can ever really know. When your faith is...

A hurricane tore North Carolina After ripping Haiti! It stalks like a hyena, Leaving a trail of calamity! I, The Earth, was turning in my sleep. Humans live for seventy years. Some build in areas that are deep Or somehow interfere with my affairs. May 8, 2022 the...

Yesterday there was an earthquake in North Carolina Some things were knocked off the shelves And broken Ceilings caving in And the whole world wondered Because earthquakes never happen in North Carolina I laughed out loud when it occurred to me that I am North Carolina Bits and pieces being knocked from my shelves Unexpected shaking At the most inopportune time In a place that...

Jill has been in the hospital for seven days and I have not been writing any poems on Poetry Soup. Here is one I wrote while there with my wife. We would have started out to seek, Things explained when did speak; Could hear, Far or near, When the weather was very bleak. Jim Horn...

Good Morning North Carolina By Franklin Price 12/24/2016 Good morning North Carolina It's Christmas eve today Half way around the world The sleigh is on the way Santa must start somewhere With the children tucked in tight I believe he's in Australia It's the middle of the night Already Christmas morning As his reindeer lead the way Flying East to West he does To make a longer day To...

North Carolina—a beautiful place of humble abode, On summer vacations or all the year round. Rife with history, the Wright Brothers showed, Thanks to Kitty Hawk's sand dunes at heights quite profound, Hosting Earth's first manned flight on wings at our coast. Carolina Tarheels—the battle cries loud, Across our green state, Biltmore east, towards Kill Devil Hills. Rolling gently across cotton and...
