Short Half Time Poems

old trees remember
confusion stirs the leaves
an idle rake waits...

No more
Riffs o’er. 

Half time
No mime. 

Will stand
Sound grand. 

Without 
The tout. 

Zayn’s cool 
We rule....

In an uncertain half time
The sky spread silence
In drops of eternity where
Every cloud
Carries thumbnail dreams
In children’s arms
Full of butterflies....

pass the dark
half time
the rest of me
into the spiral of spin
the schelpture of electric light
cascades over wretch
the grateful dead
kiss you into life

Super Bowel Half Time Rap Crap 

Whole super bowel half time rap,
Was really a  total bunch of crap;
Will not care;
A sad affair;
Resulting in  humongous mishap.

losing my mind fast
this is the half-time of life
reflecting on goals
i have survived life
just living daily routine
hoping for some joy

Who is the big winner of the game.
We watch to see who is the big name.
The truth can’t be denied,
that no matter the tide,
the half time commercial gets the fame.

Football fever is everywhere,
favorite team colors we all wear.

Season tickets are hard to find,
No, no, I can't let go of mine.

Half time is fun, just watching the band,
I love it all, I'm a football fan....

Two old codgers in rocking chairs
Half time talking, half time stares

Reminiscing about their life
Integration of peace and strife

Will I now be condescending
Maybe to the point of offending

No, that's not the way it will be
Because one old codger is me!...

Magis
Sent from East
With presents on hand
Wishing, walking with glued hand
By land traveled from Orient far
Praying, bowing before the mightiest Star
Never before in a lifetime
  the World changed half-time
Like magic under spell
  World rejoiced where true believers dwell...

Maradona

He is the footballer of the year
His frosty sport was like a boom
He announced his presence
Under a strain of marshal melody
And with a blast he entered the field;
Lost were the referee & ourselves
In the mist of his bombshells
The game has been a half-time
A smart footballer, he is gone!
It is a game to plunder & share
It is the pillage of our earth
Our earth is at the crossroad....

football
is all

crowd roars
kick soars

a pass
at last

man cave
men crave

cold ones
at once

demand
she panned

but serve
the beer

and chips
for dips

hubby
must pee

walks out
on lout

and shops
till drops

lonely
lady

returns
and learns

the lout
passed out

flat beer
oh dear

the game
now tame

half time
her time

clap hands
to bands

the game
what game!...

Listen to poem:

She likes half and half
I like full-cream.
I take my coffee black
her's is half milk and cream.

She's a bitch and a half at times
Living the half-life
in half-light, betwixt and between.
With flag at half-mast
always regreting something
never going the whole hog,
never taking it all in.

Half a life lived in halves
is never enough.
It's half-time shortly,
I think I will take 
the chance to slip away....

Two Nil.

I sit and watch the children
playing football in the street.
Look at me, shouts the referee
who runs with two left feet.

I'll get the ball shouts Lee Mac Call
I'll put it in the net.
Two Nil, shouts Bill, as it begins to rain
and everyone gets wet.

The whistle blows at half time
two goals as the ref shouts break for all.
Then in second half pass the ball to Garth
and let him try score a goal....

Taped-together mystery
Closeted cacophony
Doling out your sunshine
Like it’s half time
And you’re half mine

Your countenance, it haunts my dreams
Why does kindness feel so strange?

Flip me inside out
Clear my eyes
Turn my world upside down 
And pierce my amnesia

Tear the veil from my mind
Shake me out from all the lies
Melt the fear when it resists
So my will succeeds from this

Rescue me 
From my own worst enemy...

She sat there spell bound
It's so hard to believe
Never has she been speechless 
It’s a miracle it seems

No one could comprehend
Why the sudden change
Half time was over
It was back to the game.

The  miracle suddenly disappeared
She was her same old self
Her mouth in full gear
No one could figure what had happened here

Then a wise old man
Stood up and said
If we can’t watch the game
Your commercials are dead
