French painter Phillipe Rousseau
with still life had a go
Paris salon medals one two three
& Knight d'honeur was to be
a nations athletic whim
a tribute olympic hymn
a mantle displays
a greatest of days
victorias medals swim.
winning his ticket home dishonorably, the victor lies in a ditch

Brave souls, seek not to decorate themselves with medals
But only with the wounds caused by life's many afflictions!

and they gave me medals...
my hands still shake
sometimes they bleed
as i return to
another time when
i paid no heed
to a living soul and
no one was safe
from the likes of me.

rest in peace?
they ordered him to kill
several men
- and gave him several medals
when he decided
love another man
- gave him several stabs
from Baba de Moço, second edition, 2012.
In the game of love you know all the right moves
With Terpsichorean precision, purposeful and bold
You are mistress of passion, keeper of my heart
If they awarded medals for love you’d get the gold
Form:
Celebrated American gymnast, Simone Biles
Is ahead of her competition a fistful of miles
The most decorated in Olympic medals, ever.
In hearts and minds of fans, she'll live forever.
The graves have been dug
all bugles away
Medals awarded
for valor displayed
The soldiers in transit
to homes once so dear
But where is the peace
—when gunfire you hear
(Opening Poem To My New Novel: ‘Approaching Storm’)
A soldier in battle
Hears the bullets rattle
And is caught in the crossfire
He is draped in the flag
His medals turn to tags
Silent and without desire
Melancholy speaks truth
Eternity meets youth
Before his final salute
Tis the nature of the tribe,
Distant and near rivalry,
Contests to compete,
Best of nothing at all,
Glory, medals aloft,
Human nature turns to dust,
Hard to change in poetry,
Rather send to humanity,
Good vibes to all our tribes....
TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS
Undeclared war of stupidity
No commanders - anarchy
No ranks, no orders
No hands up, no prisoners
No medals, no white flag
No peace treaties, no appeal to the JAG
No winners - only losers
Everybody’s enemy - drunken drivers.
Staunch, spine straight as a flagpole
Chin tucked into neckfolds of flesh
Face itch, lips blubber incessantly...
Hips thrust forward... twin bulldozers
Life expectancy, a speck in a sandstorm
Rows of medals under gray sash, Iraq
To those who held the fort,
To those who fought and won,
To those, though worn, stood tall,
Your strength-like wall, is kept.
You scars, be worn like medals,
Shine bright like petals in sun;
The chains be burn'd like cobwebs
You are celebs, till ever!
Spectacle of a Trumpian stump speech:
Showmanship at times maudlin, at times macabre
Purple Hearts aplenty, Congressional Medals of Honor
Tales of American heroes to stir even the yawners
110 minutes of non-stop vaudeville ~ a true marathoner
Punctured and bruised
soiled and used
a soldier laying dead
Fallen and scorned
with no medals adorned
decorated with wounds instead
A flag left burning
apathetic heads turning
no eye wishes to see
an unmarked grave
with no country to save
this is what happened to me
Heart-fragile, love flashes that my memory stashes
live on to hurt me in sentimental, joyous ways;
his dog tags, medals and ring sit in my jewelry box, and
I am soothed mumming around home wearing his old socks.
Time fragments and slivers dwell tenderly in my thoughts.
runted rose
stunted pose
pedals arose
medals proposed
gold teeth rattle ing
catches
in
the dirt
bury me
in a bucket
lunacy ends
nevermind
lets lets lets
do it again
think he cant fly
look look look
cloud high
no
there on the bush
its
a
hunted crows
runted rose
?
Another medal of honor! What did I do? Asked the stork.
You are a beacon of hope, you bring the light.
We wait for you, wondering, and you deliver.
I only do my job as God intended, said the stork.
It is more than enough, the new parents said.
Pinning another medal of honor onto his chest.
Each one determined not to finish first
Taking each step leading to the end
But all finish the race
No winners all losers
No spectators no ribbons no medals adourned
Breathless athletes, spurned to the line
That final wisp of humanity
and the last pulse of life
See you at the finishing line
Each one determined not to finish first
Taking each step leading to the end
But all finish the race
No winners all losers
No spectators no ribbons no medals adourned
Breathless athletes, spurned to the line
That final wisp of humanity
and the last pulse of life
See you at the finishing line
Love for the Stars and Stripes
Took him to far places
He was proud and duty bound
And then his life changed
On his chest the medals gleamed
There, oh those red ribbons
That he could not see
But memories of her face
Barbara Gorelick
6/18/14 Shine with Your Naani
He wanted his glory to be sound
And for medals to be found
So he enlisted to wear the uniform
Looking good even in death would be not forlorn
He did his duty but did not find
The glory that was in his mind
For he was injured and suffered still
There is no glory in this uniform deal.
