Short Blue Ribbon(A) Poems

Melted butter
Missed crumbs of toast 
Blue-ribbon cooking 
In dishwasher catacombs
Remnants of delicious memories...

The priest of Our Lady of Grace
Is known to prefer a French face
But an English fanny
At the Hootenanny
Has just been awarded First Place...

What women stuff in their knickers
Would scare the Hell out of vicars
But girls must know
Win, Place, and Show
The Best of Blue Ribbon liquors...

Earth is surrounded by a thin blue ribbon
That signifies the gift that is given.
The Earth is God’s gift to us, 
wrapped in a thin blue ribbon.

success is measured
by the one coming in first
wins the blue ribbon
but personal best is grand
if last in places you stand

Driving in my blue car.
Sunny day, top is down.
Blue skies above me.
The road a blue ribbon.
Where will the wind blow me?
Music is turned up loud.
Sail ahead on a cloud....

Blue ribbon cuts through land
Trees mirrored in its depths
Silver white branches.

seamless gravitas 
       buoyant in its thin repose-  
                symbiotic bliss
every breath gleans earth’s release  
      manna from a mother’s sigh

Enter
in a hue
pulled from a rainbow
the blue roan 
in a garland of blue roses
setting a tone
for the sky alone to compete

I should win so I do not shout
Or hurt your dog or make you pout
I should win for pure lack of clout.
Bobby, pull my blue ribbon out!

Crime goes unchecked
  Voters' nerves are wrecked

Inflation soars still higher

Got pabst blue ribbon
for american rhythm 
and now presenting 
some sophistication;
ladies and gentleman 
stay clear i'm pissing
straight jameson; 
on these rocks here
still sipping on my beer;
cheers...

What a relief Niagara Falls strawberry;
Misty rams saxophone solo;
Such a relief out of the blue lapis lazuli;
In jess what is this?
What a relief aquariums Blue Ribbon red birds;
Rocky Mountains sprig of mint;
Aroma kisses the mountain peaks;

There is no sweeter word said than, “Winner,” spoken.
Who wouldn't want that first place blue ribbon that you've chosen 
to taunt and dangle in front of my face, what my heart desires? 
Working my winning addiction, like a foolish Marionette on wires.

I am a cake on the sill
made during the night’s still
will cool with the wind
who is favored my friend.

my aroma will be noted
recipe now promoted
A blue ribbon at best
inspired and chosen by guest 

the wind provides my presence
notably the fine vanilla essence
it brought about a hearty grin
and a smile from my friend....

Light gleaming, bouncing to and fro
Raybans and Coppertone Sport
Man's best friend ridin' shotgun
Radio cranked...volume 10, what else!
Trunk filled to the brim
Pabst Blue Ribbon gettin' frosty
Scarf a'blowin' 
Nothin' but taillights and blue sky
Bends up ahead, straights behind
Worries, off with the wind
Joy, palpable, like the midday sun
Cruisin'...

Looking back at the Earth, I can't really describe how beautiful it is from 300 miles up. Looking down, you can tell it's a planet. The sky is black. There's just a thin blue ribbon, what we see as blue sky on Earth. You realize how small it is and how fragile the planet is. - Astronaut Mike Good


cradled by darkness
earth's scattering, lustrous breath
fights fragility

Do not have a fright
Twists and turns are ever so tight 
Take one at a time 
Hope your horse does not decide to decline 
It is a festive show 
Maybe outside there will be Christmas Snow 
How would I know? 
So let me leave you with this a clear round without a miss
And on this special day you will have your wish 
That lovely silver dish 
Attached to a blue ribbon and wonderful holiday kiss...

Just a thin blue ribbon 
Ironically I 
See it different reaching 
Up to thee 
Just a thin blue ribbon 
Life as it is in balance 
Earth its full stage 
Sage 
I am caught up 
In the gleaming 
Of its eyes
Looking back
I have cried 
Just a thin 
Blue ribbon it 
Does not lie 
The eternal skies 
Of ages 
I find each day
Still the same yet unexpected 
As it ages colorful of 
Ironic faces...

Looking all around, I see nothing but black. 
Yet when I look down, I see a sliver of color. 
A sign that tells me there is hope of going back.
Surrounded by darkness, you keep me sane 
In a sea of debris, you keep me safe
Here you seem small, fragile
But take another look. 
You are bigger than anything I will ever see. 
Just a thin blue ribbon is all you seem to be,
But to me you are everything.

Just a ribbon of blue ragged at the edges. 
Nearly ruined by empty politians pledges.
Just look to the skys, the expance of the heavans.
Damaged by the needs of business and the avrice of nations. 
You and me cant breath pounds and pennys 
We need the thin blue ribbon, not rich politians
Stop global warming or  face the consequeues    
Lets  look after that  blue ribbon, thats so beatiful when viewed from a space station.

Nighttime, the muse is tangled in the talon of riots
catching bricks to the head- mace to the eyes-
Come morning it sips unholy cups of politics
heavily sweetened with the latest deadly virus-
Noontime it wears a brooding- grimacing mask
it's very breath under the most vicious attacks-
Its spending more time in its darkened cave
9 mm alpha dreaming of an omega escape-
Now it'll only listen to T. Robbins and B.F Skinner
slowly become a braying-blue ribbon beggar....
