Short Regiment Poems

Nature’s Regiment
By Valerie D. Staton


Nature’s regiment
Adorned in camouflaged suits
Brown and android green
Bravely battle brazen winds  
Defeated by acid rain...

Penguins are hilarious, they walk at attention
Like a regiment of soldiers, nature's comedians
An image so funny
Humorous and funky
Forever performing time and again...

Memories of children's chatter
Lightly rock lonely playground swings
Yellowing grass, thirsty and thin
Bronzed hours sealed up in ship bottles
Daylight's ample breath slows, shallow
School bus dawn's mounted regiment.
Summer fat squirrels bury nuts

Soldier
Several regiments laurel.
Other regiments regiment.
Line fighters scuffle.
Different regiments suspect.
Individual encounters intersect.
Equivalent resistances strike.
Regular troops recruit

One day a piper, with stylish intent,
     Wore a tartan kilt, in full regiment.
     But with far too much swagger,
     He sat down on his dagger.
     Now he laments, in a high pitched accent.

     In full regiment, means, without under garments....

Reveille called to the sound of a bugle
The regiment called to duty
The soldiers rally to the call

Its Politian’s that make the call
And pick the tune to bugle
Thier morals you're duty 

A soldier as no choice but duty
And must answer the Politian’s call
And die at the call of the bugle

The mournful bugle called you to duty , and  you answered the  grim reapers call .

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Can you feel the adrenaline,
This big regiment of my medicine
Got my skeleton jigglin like gelatin
Fiddlin with this riddlin, this wigglin
Its crippilin, when i begin quibblin,
Over scribblin, this high is dwidlin
Do you remember when
I would rip off heads of Polly pockets
Stick a knife in the faulty wall socket
And be hiding in my sister's closet
for six hours to her scream, "Michael Stop It!"...

Doric columns supported the xyst
with ancestral plane trees and boxwood
lining the spaces between and whispering
the secrets of ancient polished stone.

The promenade led to the gymnasium
where zealous athletes of strength and valor
practiced their regiment for the Games
to earn enhanced esteem and station.

So compelling now to amble and hear
their eager, raised voices of so long ago,
echoing through the walled garden
if one remains silent, and listens....

We always called Cassandras
immature the way she ran
through town with her electric hair
and torn clothes, telling us
that we already know:
that regiment of clouds
that cloud bombard us soon
with snow, cloud burry us;
that art in an equivocal gift,
that every flower awaited
it's proper place
on out funeral wreaths.
We knew all of that
she waas our own child.
But once betrothed to grief.
What could we do but morn?
we let her speak and speak,
all words so angry
are metephors....
