First baseman Ryan Howard.
Nobody can call him a coward.
Whenever he can hit a baseball,
it can travel high over the wall.

So, farewell, Howard, Mr Nice
Massive reefers were your vice
Life’s but a spliff to puff and pass
All grass is weed, all flesh is grass

the Phillies offense is powered.
However, sometimes I have doubt
because he will frequently strike out.

I can feel the desert on my skin

A snowflake fell
A momma wails
In birthing pains
Number eleven son
Cried today he's eighty four
He loved his own five sons
Two are buried
Howard rests

Trump Like Howard Taft

Again and again, Trump gave us the shaft,
And after he did had laughed and laughed;
Another chuckle,
So loosen buckle;
Heard huge body is as big as Howard Taft.

Howard Hughes

was always in the news

He came up with one heck of a crazy notion.

A plane filled with ping pong balls, should it fall into the ocean.

Germaphobe Howard Hughes - reclusive billionaire -

made a plane of wood and loved to ride the air!

Bought his own hotel, just to hide himself from sight

and watched his own TV station’s movies late at night....

All that is real exists in this moment
It’s gone – did you miss it – see what I meant
Catch each moment before it is spent
Or reality’s something you will lament
Was nothing more than something that went

I got a reply on "Leather Jacket"
Karl Howard is the name
Telling me I have a chance in the poetry contest
With links just the same.

That person doesn't exists
On Soup that I can see
But some of my poems are gone
Does anyone else have this problem...or just me?...

Haiku Trilogy 


Fox poises mid-step

Rabbit scent tantalizes

Mouth waters wildly

 

Eyes peer intently

Haunches crouched, slung low to ground

Biding time to spring

 

Mountain lion growls

Padded feet part tall grasses

Hunter now hunted

“I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream”

Ice Cream lyrics by Howard Johnson 1927

LICKETY-SPLIT

pied piper’s sprint
in a child’s cul-de-sac
dishy melody
little legs come running forth
taking their licks in no time

President William Howard Taft

   Weighed 350 pounds and was quite broad in the aft

      He once became stuck in a White House tub

         As a result of devouring too much grub!

Only yesterday I was but a child
Dreaming of a victory
That one day will be mines

Destining to be an Olympian
Wanting to achieve
Determine to believe
I’ve got to succeed

The task is at hand
I‘ve got to go the distance
Anything is possible
Victory is mines.

if you could see what i mutter

about your jar of peanut butter

would you flutter

like Woodstock

into my awaiting arms?

could you find enough wood and rocks

to lovingly build us a farm?

i looked under your hood when it knocked, there's no need to be alarmed

you're ready



love,

howard...

In nineteen hundred thirty eight
Howard found a new record to break.
Around the world the fastest ever;
Three hundred fifty two miles per hour.
He filled the plane with ping pong balls.
In case of a crash to cushion the fall.
He also had the bright notion.
They would keep him afloat should he fall to the ocean.

Read Tolkien
Read Howard Fast
     Asimov 
is sure to last
    as we walk 
omto the 21st
    century
  our minds must be
free from terror 
      free from pain 
free to start
     all over again
read a poem 
   all alone
   an ancient dream 
   brought to life
avoid the strife 
avoid the strife
     say happiness - LONG LIFE...
