grew a southern black oak tree.
It’s now a lifeless stump.

Painting with words,
poetry my canvas
Hanging through the ages

Instead of snow, it's rain;
cherry trees have blossomed in Brooklyn,
so did tulips along the bay...
even New Jersey has seen Nature in play!

Fear of flying,
Fear of crying,
Fear of being afraid,
Fear of dying early
And fear that when you get to the promise land,
It will just be New Jersey.

Big Politician
Chris Christie
Not known to be nifty
Warned New Jersey National Guard Brig. Gen. Michael Cunniff to slim down.
This from such a big clown.

An alien came to earth called James
Looking for a New Jersey dame
He found one on the soup
Amidst this amazing troop
And revelled at her writing fame

Limerick
I met a young lady in Hoboken
Actually, her good leg was broken
She used her cane,
Mileage to gain
Went by bus with a Hoboken token.

People Unworthy
Are some people who are unworthy
And others who have been earthy
Concerned about the environment
Where the good Flint water went
What about Christie in New Jersey?

New Jersey is the type of place
Where you pay more and more
As you get older
While simultaneous the value
Of experiences grow less and less
Until one day
You're in a nursing home IV strapped
Sipping apple juice and leaking in a bed pan

My fellow poet Ilene can write.
I look for all her new poems on this site.
To read her work is surely a delight.
Being a resident of New Jersey,
seeing how she expresses herself is easy.
Ilene is so adept at poetry.

The wingless eagle
went to the party of the owls
with his own wisdom
Intimidating the impostors
of the night
with his past glory
Exposing the shadows
of their dark indulgence
—with a killers eye

There once was a poet from Passaic*
All his poems were rather prosaic --
He'd heard it worked nice
To throw in some spice --
~ 'Twas expired, now his penning's archaic
*Passaic is a town in the state of New Jersey (USA)

There's
a town
on Route 9
in New Jersey
at the southern part.
It's in Cape May county
along the Atlantic coast.
This small town is called Ocean View.
You'll see the term is a misnomer.
When you are there, you can't see the ocean.

So you don’t feel well
You’re under the weather
You can’t breath
And you feel like hell
You got a sore throat
You wish you would die
And that’s all that she wrote
You’re achy and teary
Life’s just one big misery
But it’s really not that bad
You could be in New Jersey

What's my love to you?
Am I just another guy coming from New Jersey?
News flash, we're both from New Jersey.
Two different people coming together can make a giant sound wave.
Lets come together and make our own fairy tale.
You and I can stop falling now. It was all a dream.

A New Jersey-ite, his name Hobo Ken
For singing ballads, he had quite a yen
He would sing like Sinatra
From Vegas to Sumatra
On rails he rode with fellow jobless men

Lovely regal frogs from New Jersey are all that
Their swollen freckles puffed up big and fat.
Elaborate crowns are golden with emerald splat.
On lily pad thrones, they reside, true floating mats.
In the calm pond waters, they live away from big cats.
King and queen of the bayou, at Tornado Flats.

On the Mid-Atlantic East Coast is where we are.
From Philly and New York, we are not too far.
We have theme parks, sights to see, and a great shoreline.
For a reasonable vacation, it’s a place considered fine.
This is my home where many fun times are reality.
It is the little wonder everybody knows as “New Jersey”

They parachute nude into urban New Jersey,
two Brits on a mission to claim their nobility,
a Prince and his Princess, infantile, ill equipped,
out to reconquer America, their rightful home.
