Seattle Poems - Poems about Seattle

From visiting Seattle to seeing whales from the port side of a ship… so many new experiences keep cropping up this trip… We crossed the Puget Sound on a giant Ferry boat… then drove across the Hood Canal on a bridge that was built to float. As we drove out of Seattle, the tall pines and a host...

Today we visited the Farmer’s market in Ballard. It was a beautiful sight to see… Booths that stretched for two whole blocks….managed by people of all diversities… On our way to the Farmer’s market… (I love when we discover surprises out of our control) we happened upon one of Thomas Dambo’s six Northwestern trolls. We also visited the Ballard Locks… where we...

We began our day with breakfast at the Biscuit where the biscuits were almost as big as the dish… then on to Pike Place Market where they’re famous for throwing the fish. Since water plays a vital part of Seattle the two of us went on a hunt for all the things we could discover along her waterfront. We...

I used to be a poet Now I ain’t I could rhyme then But now I cain’t I sit, an idle artist Without paint Beneath the flecking statue Of a faded saint The pigeons eye me sadly As I sit Devoid of any feeling Without wit The sweeper of the street Thinks I’m a twit As I peruse blank pages I ain’t writ ...

The traffic light delayed us both Me driving my car She driving her cart. The traffic direction changed, rotated, making black eyes spark annoyed as her walk signal failed to appear, shrunken mouth twisting crooked ‘neath her frowned brow as roughly she retreated, Bang-bang banging her fist against the shiny...

I have seen you flash by Amidst thick green foliage and swaying pines Like a distant silver dream On receding skyline But was never satisfied For a close encounter I craved I did then go up The Space Needle in Seattle Hoping to have a clear view Of your snow-clad balding pate That thought profound thoughts Against mortal blues of the empty sky But, alas, you remained Elusive...

She’s not as dramatic as a hurricane or forest fire Just someone’s old mother Arranging her daily dignity In an unrefrigerated apartment She’s got a cushion chair An oxygen tank A bed Her toilet Weather Channel on the TV She’s survived past her friends The world’s last Sparrow chipping at a bird feeder Night muffled of its insect thrumming Mountain creeks hollow of Salmon speckle She’s like them A...

The Seattle City council is under the influence of radicals. Seeking to defund their city's police department by 50%. Fifty years ago, Communist China did the exact same thing. Now communist China is the hands of a dictator and the communist party. Allowing its poor people zero political/ religious freedom. And...

Dear Seattle, You've sold your balls to the devil... Now your streets are overgrown with poison pansies-weeds and thorns. At night there's rape-intimidation and extortion just beyond their fragile little mind border. A dollop of tear gas and a couple of weed whackers. and they'll scurry back down their rabid holes Dear Seattle, you've sold your balls to the devil!...

Like Loading Cattle In Seattle When we will spend time in Seattle, We would like loading lots of cattle; See Rainer; Docile deer; What to do next, we had big battle. Jim Horn Lived in Redmond, WA near Seattle from August 1976 to May 2001. Really liked it but too expensive....

I once knew a lady from Seattle. When she stole my heart, I was a horse without a saddle. With long blonde-brown hair And a devilish grin, She smelled of baking  Powder and cinnamon. That's no jest, She bakes the best, Though kisses even better (On the nights we find a sitter.) Oh, she'll ring your bell, But, alas, gentlemen never tell. Six years wed The wild joy of...
