Roar Of The Crowd Poems

In similar kind the blood of violent dynasty's
remains distinct without conscience 
its empire of centuries
branded hot upon the slave born sweat 
and to dictatorship
bring the mind and soul of greed
for in the bestial mouth
ever shall the vampire feed

Better then to...Read More

City Girl-Country Girl

I swore I would never live in a small town.
I wanted noise, people and the 
roar of the crowd.
Crowded restaurants, highways,
Exhaust fumes galore.
Sounds of police cars all over
town.
Lounges, theaters and 24 hour
anything!
Those bright lights, you know?
And twenty-four action, no...Read More

Tell me I am crazy!

Is there a race here to write the the shortest poems possible just to be

Wishing I could be anywhere but right here,
On a dream bathed with barley and low lined cloud.
Relishing nature's eagerness to endear,
Leaving the busyness and roar of the crowd,
Delighting in vast small grain fields freshly plowed.

Ceasing to care of expectations once...Read More

his hands and mind fluttered


he hit home runs in practice
in his solitude
under the sheets of loneliness
over the view of rose petals
the roar of the crowd wasn't in his dreams
or real love
the sound of pigeons trapped in a paper bag
fluttering, fluttering
frenetic...Read More

The Colosseum, welcome young gladiator,
To the arena of death, sharpen thy sword, and raise
Your shield high, bow to the emperor, known as
Caesar.
Listen to the mighty roar of the crowd surrounding
You, is it not a deafening sound, seemingly, by it's sheer
Force...Read More

Fifty years, boy and man, I’ve been a Sooners fan;
And watched thousands of recruits try to make my Sooners Team.
Often, I’ve enviously wondered what it must be like
To be a touted Sooners recruit, living out his dream.

He’d had a great...Read More

The steps of the stage make a sound so crude
The scratch of the speaker gets me right in the mood
The tuning of the instruments is soothing to my ear
The humming of the chorus takes away my pain and fear

I'm flying...Read More

With the crack of my whip the roar of the crowd fell silent
But the roars of the beasts reverberated throughout the circus tent
I was the new Lion Tamer, and I had seven lions under my spell
Was it an illusion?, I...Read More

Four-Door Racer

My daddy owned a four-door racing machine
Scared my mother to death when he lived out his dream
He loved to race at speeds known to few
Despite mother’s objection, that’s what he’d do

He’s shine and wax that racing car
In hopes that...Read More

The glimmering light of a full moon or a beautiful sunrise
Doesn’t affect me like when I look in to your eyes
The light blue sky the deep blue sea
Doesn’t come close to what you do to me

The wonders of this world...Read More

Can you hear the roar of the crowd?
As they hang on the edge of their seats.
Can you see them scream?
For their team

When they win...Read More

For most of his 
Bumming around days
He was lost 
In dead end jobs
Once in the gym
He became a silhouette of youth
Weaving like a cobra
Slipping
Countering
Learning how to hook
Footwork and poise
A moving target
Possessing  speed
And brutal power
Waiting
To connect
On
Flesh and bone.

All his life
He...Read More

The curtain is drawn and the stage is bare, I stand alone,
As I hear the thunderous roar of the crowd that is now gone.

Reliving the excitement that is now a deafening quite,
As each scene is played over in my mind...Read More

The morning mists falling from Snapdragon eyes
Standing on high peaks viewing the verve of diversity
Starlit nights viewing the galactic milieu painted above
The promise once made now viewed after the rainstorm…
In these moments I see the Almighty

The bellow of anguish in...Read More

Banners swayed to the shimmy, of sprouting springtime rays
As lime lines hugged emerald fields, on America’s favorite day
Youthful faces peaked above leather gloves, of inherited family fun
Sheets of sunshine spilled over ivy walls, of towering home runs

Children cheered the names...Read More

I could smell the ballpark in my glove
Lose myself in the crooked sky above
Hear the roar of the crowd in my bat
Oblivious to your epitaph called stats
Dreaming a dream, called baseball

But that was all taken from me
From an evil that...Read More
