Leonard Cohen…
an unfinished poem
blowing in the wind
forever a reminder
—to start again

SUZANNE.

      Written by Leonard Cohen.
      Sung by Neil Diamond.


   A poet's simple story, where Suzanne's perfect body touched his mind.

Cohen Sang Song

Cohen sang song which was a carol;
Now they have Trump over a barrel;
He started new cult,
Called sexual assault;
Not only that presidency is imperil.

Prison Cohen Started To Head

Prison is where Cohen started to head,
Which is something that he does dread;
His teeth brushing;
Commode slushing;
Eating meals and spending nights in bed.

On Saint Pat’s Day, with the Guinness flowin’
All night long the blarney was blown’
I’ll trap a Leprechaun—I’d shout 
With chicken soup, not stout!
Then caught the rarely seen Lepre-Cohen!

Cohen and World of Hurt

More MSNBC News.

What Cohen has is wobbly  world of hurt,
And appears to be having a growth spurt,
Too much strain;
He  went insane;
Also has looked like he is loosing his shirt.

Jim Horn

Yep. You guessed it. Over ten again....

I feel so lost,
Like a soup can
That has misplaced its label.
I want to be the wild child
In a Cohen poem,
Holding her hair back
To light a cigarette on the gas range.
But where is Leonard?
Without him,
eighteen feels childish,
Silly.
It doesn't fit me well at all....

Evidence Seized and People Pleased

What they did was witness  to have teased,
And then all the evidence they soon seized;
Find things needed,
They stampeded;
Exactly what they wanted and were pleased.

Jim Horn

All of the evidence that they have seized
from Cohen....

Please Tease About Being Some Sleaze

Trump's prior secretary said that Cohen
is a sleaze bag. If he is, you can imagine 
what Trump is.

With absolute profound perfection please,
Tell me how can Cohen and Trump tease,
Constant pain;
Drive insane,
And also both being big bag full of sleaze.

65 million views received from all around the world
while the master of emotion remains comparatively unheard;
how is it that John Legend is so well known and loved
when Leonard Cohen, a truer god, is so misunderstood?
i listened to this song and it stirred in me the thought
that modern music's murdering the majesty of art....

O, I love to attend a Cohen family simcha**
      That is where I really love to be-e-e!

    For when you're at a Cohen family simcha,
      You are always treated roy-al-ly!


**A simcha is Hebrew or Yiddish for a happy event, such as a wedding. 

                  The ditty above is to be sung to the tune of
                    "The Oscar Mayer Wiener Whistle Song"...

And I listen to some old Leonard Cohen
And my conscious mind
listens for footsteps
And my subconscious meditates
And universes are formed
in the infinite multiverse
And others are destroyed,
some through collision,
some through internal combustion,
And some go to war with one another,
culminating in mutual extinction
And I smoke fast
And I pray not to hear footsteps
enter into my universe....

Realize That Always Wise

What I soon started to realize,
For each crack is someone wise;
You either met now or before;
Became so many and galore
Be quiet and us will surprise.

James Horn

Salute to Leonard Cohen quotes
Folded in pockets under his coats.
Can consider this an anecdote;
Who next for President will they promote.

Without being vetted or having a
security clearance as well....

The dilapidated décor,
and Sergeant Pepper
wore the same tones.

Burgundy stocking
hung on a lava lamp,
A poster of Leonard Cohen
as a young man.

Paddington apartments
travel by train unhurried by time.
A girl drinking Liebfraumilch
waiting for me to come home
with a used album of Rubber Sole

We had vinyl prayer-wheels,
a laminated love affair.
We had red and yellow music;
bottles of Blue Nun wine....

What is this thing over my head?
What alerted me to this wing span...
and why do I long to fly with you?

Blue heron, you do not sink
you amaze my very eyes
I, rise to reach you.

And here you are, me too.
and some cursed ghost makes three.
Well...I liked the hair on your arms.
You liked my dark eyes. 

At some invincible point.
all is gone. Done. 
One fact though, mother
could sing Leonard Cohen.
Hah....

Pleasantly
Bull headed, bird brained, chicken and foxy
From a bramble of a family tree
A lover of Cohen, Midler and Dennis Lee
Who regularly feels awe, paralyzing angst, and humility
Fearing the end of birds singing, seasons changing and liberty
Hoping to see a Purple Martin, a Gyrfalcon, and fifty
Proudly from Vanier
Weird

Well what a way to start the day
Halleluyah and happy thoughts and all
Absolutely nothing can match it
Your smile is a mile wide it's a scandal

Hope it lasts the whole day long
Wouldn't that be a damn kick in the head
Careful though for serious injury
May end up strapped to a hospital bed

Imagine if Leonard Cohen wrote
About murder, robbery, mistreating beagles
Summing up his thoughts
He was speaking of disappointing people...

i can use the puppy dogs eyes,
or smile and flutter my eye lashes.
because im really a sweetheart.
even though i act shy, and sit in the corner.
i can turn on the charisma.
just because i look away, avoiding eye contact,
i know what i am.
the girl that loves cupcakes
and mad dancing.
hot pink polish
polka dots and argyle socks.
because ill make you love backseat kisses,
the cramps and leonard cohen.
give it a little while.
you know you love me....
