Oswald Poems | Examples

When he said

The gelatintion of used
 and fry grease waste.
fry your catfish in me
fry your chickens bay-bay
them potatoes fry crisped and all
grease slatting on the wall
shrimps and zuchinni too
baking soda doughnut
fried up too
then when it starts to stink
and the porkchops come out pink
sprinkle in the soldifier hardener
and that old grease
is ready for the trash can
when the potaos won't clear it up
sprinkle the powda and solidfy it up
and dump the grease out there

Supermans notes found
in a breifcase at the
Metropolis Mall
by Hal Jordon and Alan Scott
Oswald Cobblepot and wealthy businessman
offered them a fortune for the breifvase.
Tune in to see what transperes.
 3 slightly different interpretations in
 delivery of the same line or lines.
Cobblepot spoke to them via phone
and then they agreed to meet somewhere
near the railtracks.

Dealey Plaza, are you keeping right on the still unresolved Elm street?


I had a cat, a large one
I thought I loved the cat
The cat thought he loved me too!

Then, one day,
They took the cat away
The cat, with the bassinet, the little furry presence
And Sameeha’s science club chapstick
And I thought I was kissing scientific a book cover
Where he is artistic in a beauty in the other way, rare.

It was a cat. After all, it was just a cat
It had the nicest jacket , 
with hoodies on, 
the cat used to sit on time, 
the cat
And it had the fish, tummy time, happy face, and everything first time
For I never yearn to come back! For there, to chime!

It is just a known type of pain that I knew for far too long! 

On a question paper, pm time, departmental too

Dealey Plaza, are you keeping right on the still unresolved Elm street?
Heavenly God , do you play around heavenly to utter Godsay, is your slip
Where you do not know usually after or before the strait the gate
You never knew Jack Ruby and you never knew Oswald

So you never knew other than too much other than, Please, other tall!


Premium Member Conspiracy Theories

Conspiracy theories are nothing new
 I'm sure you know a few
 But they can take you down a dark maze
 And used by politicians to manipulate you

 The moon landing was said to be fake
 With wind and shadows on the make
 Was it just wishing on a star
  And faked to win the cold war

 JFK conspiracy theories still persist
 Was it Oswald that did it, or the mob
 Or was it the goverment who killed him
 In a sinister plot

 Covid 19 has many conspiracy theories
 First they said it was a hoax contrived by the media
 But it was a deadly virus
 That killed millions

 There is one about the Denver Airport
 Said to be the Illuminati's headquarters
 Where lizard people live
 Beneath the buildings

 The most famous one is that the Earth is flat
 Even though proven that its not
 Yet people still believe that
 Are people crazy or what?

 There is the theory that the election was stolen
 And Italian satellites changed people's votes
 And on and one it goes
 Right down the rabbit hole
 
 There is the one that Poetry Soup is run by aliens
 Trying to steal our thoughts
 Don't go running for cover
 That one's just a joke.. :>)

Premium Member It's Not Byron's Fault, Anyway

Byron didn't wait for me.
Across the hall Becky tried not to look.
Chalk was everywhere.
Knuckles was already suspended.
Trailing the varsity jackets I
Oscillated between chic and irreverent.
Someone yelled, "barf!"
Charades and hustlers cover every inch.
How am I going to find my locker?
Oswald points me to "304."
Oblong and wrong I walk there.
Looking forward, looking backward.

Premium Member The Day I Met Oswald Berkley

From afternoon siesta nap
        with clear focus of mind
 in holey torn vest a barefoot child leapt -
   out bed and door and gate 
           a pool in St Anns to find,
 and followed the circle road
               from whence he slept

 O’ fateful happy trail led
          to one Oswald Berkley,
 whose infant charge took under his wing.
     An angel of The Lord
                     sent to guide me
 on my rendezvous with fate
              in the park wandering

“Come child, I’ll take you
             where you wanna go”
 said the Mirror Man at the radio station,
    and to air lest not my
               whereabouts to know
 did broadcast my daring tale
                 all across the nation

 He drove and I pointed
      and dried my crying tears
‘round the Savannah in a stranger’s keep,
  who took my ragged picture
            and took away my fears -
 unto me a shepherd and I
                 unto he a lost sheep!

Lambs To Slaughter

Sometimes,
the very best informed
remain the most naïve

Cronkite
in 1963,
“Oswald Was The One”

The Mob sat back
and licked their chops,
“Bobby’s Finished Now”

As millions mourn
in false belief
—and Warren to mislead

(Crazy Horse Memorial: Black Hills South Dakota, September, 2021)

November Twenty-Second

Fifty-odd years ago
JFK died.
If you were living then,
You must have cried.

TV ran on and on – 
Pink hat and shots;
Oswald and Ruby
Connecting the dots.

Bloodstains on Jackie,
The LBJ pledge;
All of America
Sitting on edge.

John John saluted,
The widow in black.
Innocence ended
And never came back.

Each twenty-second
The month of November,
Those moments flash back
And I pause to remember.

*This poem was written and posted
on November 22, 2011. The original
first line was "Forty-eight years ago..."
I decided that I couldn't say it any better today.

Silent Watcher

SILENT WATCHER

Oh the things she's seen,
Pterodactyls swooping low,
Nagasaki all aglow,
Iceage creeping over land,
Maradonna's cheating hand,
Armstrong making one giant leap,
Humpbacks singing in the deep, 
Tutankhamen's golden face, 
Unbeaten Frankl's final race, 
Titanic's iceberg breaking free, 
Anne Boleyn on bended knee, 
Stonehenge rising from the plain, 
Halley's comet passing again, 
Nelson falling, duty done, 
Oswald and that fateful gun, 
Orbit fixed, she glides on by, 
Silent watcher in the sky, 
None can match her constant stare, 
And to her beauty none compare.

I Pay a Visit

Beyond this poetry with soups far apart,
Cabbage with snail traces of temptation,
"Papana?i" in sweet palace of cheese,
"Gumboti" - plum dumplings`nation
Scented with cinnamon on their knees
Kind of the three musketeers`story
- Although we like four- for your glory!
Sweet-sour Hungarian-Wallachian`desert.

Many of my poems are just like... cabbages!
My attempt to add serenity`s smile to all ages:
Now and then, you may find a cauliflower
With thyme and dill and tarragon`s power.
Actually, it's not about art of cooking dreams
Of vegan menu, without any sausages-rhymes; 
Nor hot Brazilian ”saudade”- with tea and ice; 
Oswald de Andrade's, who is really so nice!

As dedicated body and soul to crown
Gourmets eating themselves; invisible:
In the most post-modern way possible;
I pay a visit to great poets of the world:
I do not wear a shield and a sharp sword
Like in films with pretty ladies and knights 
Singing "Chavaliers de la table ronde"-twice;
But I think I love you all, everyone, everyone!

Premium Member The Annals of History

Review the annals of history
   Murder upon murder you'll see

Start with Adam and Eve's son, Cain
   Who murdered his brother Abel in vain

Then there's Moses, the saintly lawgiver
   Who murdered an Egyptian taskmaster and shivered

The greatest of playwrights, Shakespeare, didn't hedge his bets
   He wrote of murder in 'Julius Caesar,' 'Macbeth' and 'Romeo & Juliet'

What of Abe Lincoln's assassin, Mr. John Wilkes Booth?
   His name lives all these years later, verily and forsooth

There's Lee Harvey Oswald, shot JFK -- ended Camelot
   Else his name wouldn't be worth a pee in a pot

Can't forget the serial killers, whose souls are damned:
   Richard Speck, John Wayne Gacy, Son of Sam
 
Not to mention the 'iconic' socialists you all know:
   Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and Idi Amin also
   
In this century you don't have to rack your brain
   We've had Osama bin Laden, Bashar Assad, Sadam Hussein...

As for 'professionals,' Bonnie & Clyde are your bank robbers
   And how about ('Scarface') Al Capone for a celebrity mobster?

So, you want your name to be ever remembered?
   Just commit a few murders: Behead and dismember!

What Lies Beneath the Lies

On that fateful day in November in '63,
is the day that the evil shadows laughed with glee,
immediately changing JFK's course of history,
Oswald being the CIA pawn patsy,

Warren Commission saying case closed,
dead man walking down hall time froze,
Zapruder's film showing different views,
of JFK's death whereas conspiracy bloomed,

Slowing film down makes you wonder,
magic bullet, book depository blunder,
eyewitnesses meeting unusual deaths,
the shadows lies creating a domino effect,

To this day I watch in horror the famous film,
the only evidence of JFK's assassination hewn,
the lies underneath lies still buried underground,
JFK's eternal flame still flickering on his mound.

Pandemonium At the Office

Paperless files prepared by pathetic people for patients never properly prevail
After the scanning is situated it seems their salary is second hand, sadly sadistic!
Nurses nurture but stick needles in arms nine times like a rusty and nasty nail
Doctors must drink dill juice with breath like a stinky dried dying dinostystic!
Every minute he exhales all eight ethnic dinners, he eats while he’s enthralled
Mr. Moneybags may be macho, but the misses milked his money in the morning
On an obscure day the Viagra rep had an out pour of pills on old Mr. Oswald!
Nymphs so needy, but the naked image never made them nearly horny!
Intimidated Irene has improved yet her impulse to scream idioms is intriguing
Under the desk she unties her shoes singing “U Can’t Touch This” so unpleasing!
Mr. Moneybags makes a move like MC Hammer not knowing the musical meaning!
