some declared he was a news distorter.
He denied their gripes
and said by all rights
He was just an athletic supporter....

So, Ethan Alan's sister Sybel said.
But little Ethan Alan doesn't talk, yet; 
So he just sucked his thumb and burped, instead....

This ‘enigmatic’ man was so alluring
Chemically castrated for being gay
His alternative was a lifelong prison stay

       with tales of horror and woe

Here lies Chester Alan Dawe
Died from a case of lockjaw
While busting out of jail,
He stepped on a rusty nail
And never again broke the law.

At eighty he had an athlete's physique.  
A fullback mocked his years,  
Brown hefted him by his ears. 
Since then mouthy jocks have squelched every squeak....

ARRESTED NATHAN AND ALAN---

Nathan never praises
Because of bad feelings
Just jumps in/out of jail
Arrested along with Alan
And both brazen bad guys

There is a young man called Alan Sprocket
Always has both hands in his pocket
Said it keeps him calm and warm
So why is he a twitching form
As though his fingers were in a socket

Seeking Revenge
Haiku: by Miracle Man
11/15/2021

Past deeds we recall,
but good or bad, it’s over;
Some won’t let it go.


“When a deep injury is done us,
we never recover until we forgive.”

What do you call a man like Stephen Fry
Which doctor of four do you choose to use
Undoubtedly he is worthy of more 
Through tears of laughter he’s wrought on QI
With dear Alan, his long-suffering muse
I guess I’ll stay with Sir as I thought before....

We have a new poet,
here on the Soup, 
and I am thankful,
his choice was this group.

He writes from his heart,
his feelings exposed,
by his life experiences,
and others so close.

Welcome Alan,
from me to you,
hope you have fun,
on PoetrySoup....

Here lies too great gentlemen, father and son.
                  Named after Edgar Alan Poe, so great a man was he.
                       But now, alas! They are now where Poe is,
            There spirits having returned to God until that Glorious Day....

enduring memory 

It was in New York
on the pavement
outside
Radio City Music Hall
I saw Jack Dempsey
and Alan Ladd
I had not seen a famous
people before
Jack wore brown pants
a loud sports jacket
Alan was in a tan suit  
It was a warm evening
in 1957

waking up on a Wednesday—
    a Day stranger to live than spell
iced tea doesn't make any sense.

blue shoes glued with Shoe Goo
    makes old shoes more new
but not much more less than Crap.

i've got Things today to do—
    paint the walls, save the World,
and dream of Alan Rickman....

With you snoring gently beside me,
With the soft ticking clock close by,
I feel so much love envelop me,
My eyes well up, and I cry
Soft, quiet tears are running,
Into my neck and ears,
I feel so blessed to have you,
May this be for years and years!

happy annivesary Alan, lang may we prosper!...
