Short Cheerleaders Poems

High school football game
cheerleaders tossed night sky chill
rhythmic beat of drums
alumni and students roar
October's homecoming queen...

When a football team has an huddle
The cheerleaders all get a cuddle 
They all have a ball
Together and all
But why do girls sleep on the puddle?...

A streaker with great bouncing balls
Ran up and down our High School halls
Our cheerleaders said
Their faces were red
But they act on all sporting calls...

Pompoms
October game
America’s football
An extension of cheerleaders
Happily, gleefully thrown into air
Captivating the crowd’s magic
These fluttering streamers
Landing in piles
Pompoms...

All those dancers and cheerleaders
Dealers and losers
Faint hearts and beacons

Before me
Its Up to me, down to me

I may resume the matter
hurtling footsteps
Sir Lancelot  waiting
working out the price of time
Derange all boundaries again...

Rally on
All you need
Are
Some
Cheerleaders
Oh
Where's the band
Over there
This background
Noise
Is killing me
It's so 
Bleep bleep loud
In my ear
It's a travesty
Oh
Rally on
Sing your song
It's the melody
Of the agony
I'm in your gravity
Rally On

If you walk around town you will
notice there are different kinds of people

there are the stuck-up cheerleaders who
think they own the world

there are the jocks who have to have
everything

there are the independent people which they
don't try to be popular they don't try to be
anyone else just themselves....

faith is knowing we are being uplifted daily
angels, archangels, spirit guides, ancestors care
they visit us in our sleep, guiding us softly
our soul knows they are there

hope comes to us as we slumber,
brought to us by our parade of cheerleaders
spirits who have been assigned to oversee us
until we return home; we sense them always...

Been to visit the middle school
Not ready to let our babies go there
First of all, they are like lambs
Innocent for the most part

But now that they have seen
The fantastically “fly” cheerleaders
Gyrating like pole dancers,
They are even more frightened.

Not the girls, of course 
As they are 12 going on 21.
I am talking about my boys,
Who sat like codfish, watching in rapt wonder....

I mop the floor every night at the local convenience store. 
Graveyard shift.
A teenage girl walks in wearing a Nirvana t-shirt.
She’s pretty ... and she gives me a headache.
A James Bond 007 guitar riff. Then the drums kick in. I can see the MTV video.
Cheerleaders.
The kids.
Mosh pit.
I'm spinning. ...
And I'm 17 and I am 50. 
I am Generation X.
I am the mop and the bucket, and they are me.
I am Tony De La Rosa....

We are prancing in place with a joy that is catching.
Our pony tails are flying; we are dancing and batching.
We are the cheerleaders, so pretty, persnickety with perk 
None of us will end up with an ickety loser or jerk. 

We are the cheerleaders, let us kick high and mighty.
Our hair is fly away beautiful, and we are all flighty.
We clap in rhythm, each thrilled to be one of the team.
We prance, dance, flip and twirl,  never running out of steam....

NATURE’S CHEERLEADERS

P~erennial pops, flower balls 
O~f delectable colors.
M~ums amazing appeal

red chrysanthemums
like a rubefacient kiss
passion enfolds thee

misty lemon mum
is watered with my sorrow
clings to yesterday

white wears faithfulness
and beautiful as a bride
snow clings to husband

P~etals, appear as pompoms
O~f nature’s cheerleaders.
M~omentous hallelujah for God.
