Short Rallies Poems

My heart beats forth
Energies brilliants
Destinies worth
Unimaginable
Rallies forth spectacles
Springs forth awesome bright
My heartbeats light-life

A Foodie Pleiades Poetry Contest
Andrea Dietrich

Parades of dough shapes pie

Pepperoni walks in

Pasta sauce rallies taste

Pockets of crust tips edge

Proud dills and hams in step

Perhaps anchovies, too

Procession of cheese crowns...

school shootings
anguished screams

  public outrage
    calls for action
      marches & rallies
        media blitzes
          politicians fulminate
        propose legislation
       congress debates  
     bills stall & die
  anger subsides

nothing happens
school shootings...

There are no job opportunities
for the people 
by the government.  
There are more rob opportunities 
for the government 
over the people.

No job opportunities had been 
created like they boasted 
during the rallies
More opportunities have been 
created rather 
to rob the jobless....

Sun seeking sunflowers' stalks stand stylishly sleek
Bite birds, butterflies on beat before blazing blooms
Farm fields fire-up framing fascinating flourish
Gushing green grass giggle with girlish gaiety
Still soil sings soulful song to silent seeping saps
Reaper respectfully rallies with rapt rapture....

All of the embers have turned to ash
And I am deaf to the noise 
When they speak like shattered glass.
Dare to ask where I’ve been.
My head hosts rallies for the broken.
I’ve got strong bones and eyes of gold 
That sometimes ache and spill my soul.
But look at me, I hide it well.
I hide a mind birthed from hell...

I'm grateful for every beating that I have ever received.
As a child I was bullied. As an adult I've been mugged 
and suffered major injuries at protest rallies.
I welcome any future beatings that may still befall me in vein,
because you see, every survived beating provides for me
a much greater, stronger tolerance for pain....

Pitcher deals.
Center snaps. 
Forward volleys.
Captain kneels.
Wing traps.
Road team rallies.
Runner steals.
Driver laps.
Bookies watch at O'Malleys.
Coach jaws.
Goalie paws.
Mothers pray.
Midfielder moans.
Winners eat macaroons.
Fathers look less gray.

Refs tally the time left
'Til the moon rises.
Fans leave, bereft,
Searching for further surprises....

My mind alters, 
Fiend to ang-el,
Are there answers?
Who can tell?

I can have joy, 
I can have sorrow.
From the grim reaper, 
Time I must borrow.

The cycle continues:
Dragging in the valleys;
Up the cliff edge,
This brain of mine rallies.

Rocking to and fro. 
From the highs, I fell.
There is no end,
'till my funeral bell....

The Czar’s happily fawning sycophants,
Threw flattery onto him like a cloak.
Marched in his rallies like S.S. ants.
Lackeys, bootlicks, and lickspittles. Ain’t no joke!

Surrounded him with compliments and affection.
Foolhardy Emperor was so incredibly pleased no doubt.
Incredulously thought he had won the election!
Until he sneezed and a four-year-old called him out....

Helping the warriors of the sport,
Gleaming in high spirits even when their team is down,
Their call and dance rallies the crowd.
They are the leaders of the fans,
But they are so much more.
Their agility and dancing bring hope to the worried team.
They train like warriors on the field,
They are athletes themselves,
They are the messengers of the fans to say,
"We believe in you."...

My country is in quandary today
It's going to be an anarchy
Leadership is in a black hole
Being incompetence I should say
Demonstrations, rallies everyday
The hope of good governance seems
Is in oblivion and brewing war is coming
I love my country, this is all I have
I just want progress to my people
Why does democracy so elusive to embrace
My simple wish is just good life to my people.

2020 Presidential Election

Candidates
Rallies tonight
Express their views
But is it news?
No mercy, insult each other
Forget we are all soul brothers
A country is at stake, they forget
Ego, arrogance, untruths, false
promises, lies, exaggerations,allegations
All want to be President of this Great Nation
What about us..what about us..just who to trust?

Thank you Lord for walking with me
Through the shadowed vales and valleys,
Holding when I blindly stumble
Until flagging spirit rallies.
When you take the larger burden
Relieving me of its great heft;
You ask only that I carry 
The modest portion that is left

Now that I’ve survived the danger
And have now safely swum to shore,
I know big waves would have swamped me
Had you not lifted me once more....

   The face of America not long ago
     an immigrant hard at work
   has undergone a dramatic change
     immigrants have gone berserk

   From sea to shining sea
     from California to New York
   they make fists and scream at rallies
     voicing opinions incredibly warped  

   Anti-American as they can be
     protected by our own laws
   it seems to me ~
     out to destroy our great country

Listen to poem:

Cool Master Lil' Miss

Shiloh's art-filled hoodie argyle,
warmly snugs young miss, save Charlie,
he rallies firm, quick briefs the term,
timely step shifts the sundial,
gray culls while golden spears briefly,
while life roams its normal lifestyle,
e'er discerning events may change,
as felled leaves crowd in a stockpile,
squashing in passing was gnarly,
quick briefs the term, he rallies firm,
her hand in his made all worthwhile.

there is now a distance that has grown,
to heights with tremendous valleys,
 i been hanging in there nd its been shown,
but my heart aches nd now it rallies,
change was wanted now its required,
to be honest nd to each understand,
what we've had before we've always desired,
 lets beat the haterz hand in hand,
i promise to give my love fully everyday,
youll experience loyalty nd trust,
Always nd forever as i always say,
us vs the world i believe its a must!...

With the collapse of your cleats
A city's spirit rallies  behind you 
The heart of a champion beats
You brought pride and hope too

We needed you more than you know 
Pay no attention to the news
You're a firefly with a glow
Like gravity drawn to your moves 

Focused forward and beaming bright 
A wink of the future you will achieve 
Lead the way, shine your light 
The team is entrusted, We believe


Dedicated to RG3
Quarterback of my Washington Redskins...

This Gentle Sphere

This gentle sphere we call the earth
Has been dying since its birth
Volcanic islands dot the ocean
The continents in constant motion
Making mountains, carving valleys
The planet freezes then it rallies
Reptiles rule and then decline
Eventually we have mankind
Who uses resources as he pleases
As the life of earth he squeezes
No sign of any contemplations
Of his future generations
I guess he doesn’t know how dear
And fragile is this gentle sphere

WORD-SMITH 

As we forge all-over
Burning words like silver
Pouring inks like lava

Blasting papers like rods
Gripping pen like swords
Battling wrought like gods 

Considering the rallies
Even in the Abyss
Amidst the bees 

Till our mallets make hit
Till the anvils shape it
Till purpose feel the heat

To all the writers sweating...
Don't stop writing...
Wordsmiths keep forging...

Ears twitching
After a long retiring sleep
Their eyes on tender hook

for one moment they are wild
The next moment tender
with a loving look

When illness falls my way
Their heart rallies to my side
Like medication on tap

They stay with me
Long into the night
A reassuring paw on my lap

Otherwise like little kids
Whose loyalty goes so far
But want to get out and play

My beautiful Coco and Kiki
There for me through the tough times
But always my secure night and day...

Our foxy former president
who rallied the rioters and
then safely went,
is hoping that we all forget,
the January 6th Capitol attack
and the good judgement that he lacked,
and how he didn't have poor Mike Pense's back.
Trump was the president, our supreme boss but
still takes no responsibility for those lives now lost.
He's gearing up for 2024, with his big pac monies
and hopes to score, holding rallies and stirring up his core,
with his same divisive message again once more.....

I decided to leave small battles for small fighters:
I stopped fighting those who gossiped about me
I have stopped fighting with my relatives
I stopped fighting for love and attention
I've stopped fighting for my rights in rallies
I stopped fighting to please everyone
I left this fight to those who have nothing to fight for anymore
I began to fight for my vision, my dreams, my ideas and my destiny
The day I gave up on small battles is the day 
I became contented and much happier....

I am a frozen bowl lady! A frozen bowl lady!
I will come at your call, to fritz your icies, Said Sadie.
We did not understand at all, not living in mom-at-home-times.
It’s like the Tupperware lady, said someone else, My Auntie Frimes.

You would have to live back then and see their rallies, she said.
We chanted our song up and down, at the back of each other’s head.
Went from house to house selling plastic keepers with lids.
Until women went to work and the company fell on the skids....
