He walked like a prince
With his eternal fever
In love with starry night skies
Which glowed in his dark eyes...

You ran a red light and I did yell,
for you are a clown, "So go to hell,"
but while I was screaming
and my blood was teeming,
you caused a pileup... now rot in jail!...

Political life isn't cheap
moats are costly to clean when their deep
big bucks for a porn movie
and a duck house thats groovy,
it's enough to make Gordon Brown weep....

Through warm scented mists 

her pert shape silhouetted

a hunger lures I

like an asp, I taste the air

approaching lavender gems







"Approaching Lavender, a song by Gordon Lightfoot"...

A Custard Cream
was not your dream
meal for a first date.

You called me mean,
but if I'd been,
I'd have baked 
an 'After Eight!'

If You Could Read My Rhyme

OH, if you could read my rhyme
In two four syncopated time
I’m not saying that I’d win
All I’m saying is you’d grin

Mdailey	4/17/12
I’m not saying – by Gordon Lightfoot for Francine Roberts contest...

Attended a performance last night that blew me away
A concert in tribute of Gord Lightfoot, idol of my younger days
What glorious memories
Evoked teary-eyed reveries
A journey back in music, a gentler time it portrayed...

Taken
on his way home
after a late meeting
He drove too fast and fell asleep
No more



Dedicated to Gordon Obree
Light of my sister's eye
Who lost his life rushing from London to Scotland
to be with his family for Christmas 1994...

*"Whispering Hope" was music to my ears
Today's fare sounds like children clashing gears
When Eire becomes Ire
Extinguish the fire
Lest hope never soothes your grandchildren's fears!

I'd heard a story some years ago of thirteen cautions let it be known.' 
On gordon brown (prime minister then) about lewd acts with young
Boys not men!
And not uoon the sports field (you'll now ken!) Reuters knew yet a
Story ever aired.? How badly could all news sources be impaired?...

Is it all about me me me  poetry !!!

A Softer Way
Everybody seems to have learned the hard way 
Bringing bleeding wounds and damage to the party

Lucky and most fortunate to me me you say 
I do not think so just a way of looking

I just came down a different path
A softer way...

Flash Gordon me
That's right
Saviour of the universe
At least a very small part of it

Someone has to do it
Everyone else is at the beach
Drinking beer and eating chips
Not me though

I could save the universe 
If that was needed
Most of the time though
The issues are a little less severe...

The hot sun is rising and setting
Stroking his statues throughout Australia
The summer breeze whispers
The story of horses, waves
Of  battle and sudden death
And at nights, people drink beer beside them
Repeating that life is mostly froth and bubble
While fallen angels kiss his marble cheeks...

Lord Byron—Genius Unchained
 
Primus-Supremus-Romanticus
George Gordon Noel Byron
Destiny in Missolonghi at 36 
A soldier’s death.

Legendary immortality
Mega-accomplishment
For him the best
And now he’s at rest.

The goalkeeper is a lonely man
who keeps the goal as best he can.
He dedicates both life and soul
to stopping shots upon his goal.
There was one once who was the best-
his name is obvious it,s Gordon West.
There was another whom England owed their thanks,
his name of course-the great Gordon Banks....

"She walks in beauty, like the night" 
by Lord Byron (George Gordon)


Black night, far red moon
Shimmering stars glow
Wistful blooms dreaming
Throughout languid hours
Nebulous and long

Deep mystery
after sunset
in black jade world
darkly dazzling

Raven's wing
in moonlight
gleaming bright

Onyx
Sable

Hush...

I am asking you Gordon:
Why thrust upon a maiden
That which shouldn't her burden?
Your sin for River Jordan!

Still mistreating a maiden
And her face you did redden
Like had King David's Amon,
Who sister had made common....

Your embraces are modern 
Coming before your wedding;
Not her wished Pelty Trading
You with Satan now grading!...
