To My Surprise Did Realize

Some say that it was to my surprise,
After a while I would start to realize,
Often invited;
Was excited;
What I had won was a Pulitzer Prize.

Circle Spin


Uncontrollable sin, Evils strapped in,
a frantic live wire nervous has been.

Uneffective questions, unanswered no intention,
Pulitzer Prized Prisoner unpatented invention.

Politicized Mutation of knowledge starvation,
axis spun, uncircled Sun, life long  probation...

A journey told in stanzas,
Layered with devout cynicism.
Lyrical dreams set to pen,
Painted a world with poetry.

A Pulitzer Prize heart,
Flooded the page in verse.
Inspired by her many affairs,
She shared her poetic soul,
To her beloved America.

R-obert Lee Frost was admired for his portrayal
O-f nature to analyze themes that were social; 
B-ecame an honoree of Pulitzer prizes, 
E-zra Pound had helped him to publish his verses; 
R-eal brilliance of his work was hardest to be lost, 
T-he best rural life poet was Robert Lee Frost.

Would rather really set up a file
After all of my poems do compile;
In a cabinet all of them will store;
Go ahead and write some more.

God all my energy to me He gave;
From my many sins He would save;
While at me He had started to look,
Did end up writing one more book.

What happened much to my surprise
Was awarded with a Pulitzer prize,
All of my friends became annoyed;
Each poem I wrote they destroyed....

Stay and Pray Would Say No Way

When I would read what he had said
Poetry writing should be done by Fred;
To buy supplies in store he had sped,
Then stopped writing and went to bed.

When he would awake the next day
What we had heard to our dismay;
At church stopped to stay and pray.
Go again would always say no way

When instead you should rather write
Quaint things that are always trite
What happened much to my surprise
He had been awarded a Pulitzer Price....

For Langston Hughes

What sends them Harvard poets
I just couldn't do it, Sir: 
What sends them Harvard poets
I just couldn't do it, Sir:
They'll never give me a Pulitzer.

What tickles them Yale poets
Just leaves me sad an' a grievin':
What tickles them Yale poets
Leaves me sad an' a grievin':
Never seen no Birch trees 
On a snowy evenin'.

Then Oxford poets got they poems
An' I gots mine...
So I'll be movin' on, Langston
Movin' down the line....
