Rank Poems - Poems about Rank

A man of no rank is free to come and go. Excluded from the councils of power, he is not burdened by the worries of the world. Like a wild beast he is ruled by the changing seasons, and not the changing favor of the court of public opinion. Like a wild animal he is alert to the danger of social intrigue, preferring the...

In the Nineties Clyde’s heart sank: The slowest to rise in rank! You’d think him some faulty shank, The air about his room dank But he was filling his tank For being no stranger to prank That made less rich a bank… Still, not the gods would Clyde thank. In life he’s at the bottom And to others An Atom: Some witch beating the tom-tom That...

Seventies fur vests wet in the rain Stinky but still in style so we wore them Until they shredded and fell off our dirty shirts. Cotton shirts no longer crisp but with wide ruffles at their wrist marks. Soft dirty wrinkly blue jeans that smelled a bit gamey. No one noticed that they never made it to the laundry...

Acknowledging an identity and a desire they wish to share. Finding a common experience is the treasure he seeks to be found. Finding a common experience is as wonderous glorious and marvelous as...
