Short Olympian Poems

A dancer; "Doctor"
I was an Olympian;
great ceremony!...

Pep Guardiola
they will wreathe a garland of Catalan cut gladiola
for that pretentious Olympian brow
but that horrid tie and collar - that's just not Arsenal somehow....

Olympian speed
Tortise and hare race for gold
Disqualified, rage

“The diva is high,” says the news,
“huge splash in the pool and a bruise.”
She scores off the scale.
She’s thin as a whale.
Crowd wades in her blubbering blues.

Limerick : Once an intrepid Olympian

Once an intrepid Olympian
Craved for anthem gold on the podium
Games after games came fourth
So sawed his arm in wrath:
Won at Paralympics gold and odium!

Your eyes are like a bonfire
Smoldering in my heart
I will engulf you with sexual lazer torches
Our union will breed the new age Olympian Choir
We will strut together as lions among our peaceful domain
Blinking gently and loving gentler...

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.

By Patricia Howard Bramble....

Last night, lightning spiked,
Turning night into  brilliant day.

Last night, thunder crashed,
Like an avalanche rolling my way.

The rain, I thought, would come for sure,
It came to and end, with no downpour.

T'was just the  Olympian Gods upon high,
Shaking the heavens, saying Winter is nigh.

Of what use is a joyless muse?
What purpose could she serve?
Fit for naught but sardonic comedy,
too gruesome to harvest laughs,
or the chèvre’s ancient tragedy-
but what good is that?
Is life not acrid and dank enough
for muses to bitter be?
Is wormwood manuscript a balm
for exhausted humanity?
Oh where, Olympian maiden,
did all your mirth depart?
Is mortal life not pained enough
we must suffer too in art?...

About Herschel Walker

did have desire
had mentioned a vampire
conditions are dire

patience wearing thin
level of an Olympian
werewolf was in din

was so much suspense
discovered that he is dense
never made much sense

not Georgia cracker
he has been a big slacker
Trump has been backer

his screws are all loose
has suffered from much abuse
Christmas tree a spruce

Herschel had a date with Elvira....

A fawn was ousted into light
At Moira’s playful whim;
Its mother’s keening birthed delight
Too rapturous to limn. 

If Circe were to steer your craft
To her Olympian shore, 
Into your hair the wind she’d graft
Your favor to restore. 

Into that fawn you’d then be turned
To quell her jealous lust, 
Which never has so brightly burned
Nor risen quite so fast.

Of course, you know the way to do this thing,
without a person’s hands or water wings.
Immersed within your heart’s remembering,
is the wave in mommy’s tummy as she’d sing.

Floating baby from nature's aqueous,
swimming like a fish for you is glorious.
Future Olympian, you’re marvelous,
a wonder to behold for all of us.

I salute you
Hero of the new generation
Baton carrier from our past
Milestone in the growth of nation
Fresh shadow that the world overcast

I salute you
Who gave a barefooted boy hope
Promise that by ability I win
When diligence expands the scope,
You are the edge where dreams begin.

I salute you,
Mantle relinquished man, passing on
In service to the nation expertise
Around the bend you are still Don
Great Olympian, your praise may never cease....
