Rock And Roll Poems

It is at the half 
And the Hammies have not taken a bath 
Due to the rain 
Schedule was changed and that was a pain 
You see the UK had swamps like in Florida 
Delaying the little piggy’s invitation to...Read More

Golden Triangle Snow
Old skool rock and roll on the decks. Takes me back to before I was born. Smoking the best ing weed in 'Nam. Swimming in the river. Worshipping dark Gods. Making love to even darker women. Those were...Read More

*”If music be the food of love, play on.”
Play hard, but with a sweet guitar, play softly too.
Each note you play, I’ll sing along with you.
Play for me from night until the dawn.

If dancing be the food of love, dance...Read More

Wily wordsmith wields wisdom and wit
renders requiem welcoming thee to visit,
no matter foisting poetic riffraff (mine)
necessitates applying figurative tourniquet
to staunch potential

life threatening hemorrhage
oozing out fifty shades of
your gray cerebral moon unit,
thus best be extremely cautious
heed warning to preserve
self interest and...Read More

It seems it was but a moment ago
   that we were born and grew into the world
and yet ... there is a history here
   revealing all we have heard and seen,
   learned and sadly,...Read More

what could have set the stars in motion
a hard boiled egg thrown at the Heavens
is as good a tack as any among the ruminants
an often officious offering of hopeful effect
made during a time of dreams and trouble
as a friend with...Read More

Crikey

The fires are burning out of control
All hands on the pumps
Let’s Rock and Roll
Crikey was the Fireman’s name
And putting out fires was his game
He was here, there and everywhere
Crikey was a cobber, a friend and
Most of all, a Volunteer
From Sun-up...Read More

"If I have the time" I will dance to the beat 
the stereo music won its time not done 
body will sway, swoon fun time has just begun 
loud base music beat will flow down to my feet 

giddy spirit,...Read More

Innocent product of the 50's, baby-boomer
Soviet Union, nuclear bombs, duck and cover
Peace, love, rock and roll, they killed Kennedy
Vietnam many gone but not forgotten
Met a girl, love, marriage, children
Work, career, struggled, built a home
Said goodbye to Mom and Dad
Raised kids,...Read More

Interview With Rock Star - Johnny Bravo

So Johnny, what happened? Why did you quit your musical career before it even got started?

It was that guy with the crazy curls, Greg Brady, who quit Johnny Bravo. 
And that’s the truth. 
It...Read More

Child of darkness, child of scorn,
The devil danced when you were born,
For demon seed from Morphy passed,
Would haunt your days ‘til everlast.

Predestined to die derelict,
An iso-pawn so cynical,
How cruel a fate awaits the one
that conquered Caissa’s pinnacle.

With skills eroding into...Read More

I have a grey shirt, grey short pants and grey socks.
The grey school with its grey toilet blocks and grey nuns
made my mother buy them,
which was understandable, because folks like us
were supposed to only buy grey clothes, and live in...Read More

I would have danced for you
 but you never asked
I guess you knew
 this fool's  two-step 
my rock and roll masquerade
 hid my coordinated awkwardness.

I listened to your music
 laughed and loved at your vocal renditions
Pavarotti, Bocelli, and names...Read More

Two toddler toys without pieces and a gumball machine.
Not kid friendly in this beauty shop at all.
I look swiftly around. Most of the patrons are older than I am.
And I am old.

I am always amazed when I see children in...Read More

Patient was tarred by the new angle
A warning signal
Became the new rock and roll
In this injury toll

Spark plug 
Was whirling around down the mug 
With a smug

How come?
Those eyelashes became glum 
Millions of toes stood up, danced to the beat...Read More

Is it Aerosmith or The Eagles for you,
  Republican or Democrat to vote

Is it Chinese takeout or Italian bistro,
  or the prose or poetry you wrote

Is it bland or spicy, thick or thin,
  as you struggle yet...Read More

Dancing around amongst friends
I find that reality is something we can escape
If we yield to the cosmic powers that be
I dance to rock and roll 
and free myself from my demons
Life is precious 
Too short to be sitting on the...Read More

Went to a party
And savored the chance
To groove to some oldies
And dance, dance, dance, dance!

The theme was the 50’s;
We all dressed the part
And soon as we got there,
The music did start.

The twist and the pony,
The stroll and the swim,
To honor...Read More

I took it all for granted. The sky, the stars, the wind, 
the flowers, the grass, the trees.
I expected to see my friends every day, 
it was boring, dull, humdrum, if you please.
In my mediocre mind-set, I was walking to...Read More

I love classical music, for it reminds me of
Walt Disney's musical full-length featured comics.
Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty,
And when I was older, Fantasia, my favorite.

I love Willy Nelson, Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn,
Reba, and her daughter-in-law, Kelli Clarkson.
They remind me of...Read More

Dotard Trumpery used to disgust the "ery" excrescence ending his surname,
for its apocope he approached Megan Trump and poached her maiden name,
to which Joshua Trump, her son naming after her, dare no longer lay claim,  
because he was from...Read More

Blinded by eternal love
Falling endlessly from above
Sunk down deep in my soul 
Listening to hard rock and roll

Where would I be
If I weren’t me
Cool girl you’re the one
You know the drum

Living my life
To the drum and fife
Can you feel each...Read More
