Short Soviet Poems

If Russians pronounce B as V, 
then Soviet, don't disagree....

Make it as bad as it really ing was
The Nazi’s most lethal fighter plane
With a  load of guns and bombs
Killing Allied and Soviet forces 
Like they were tin soldiers paper planes...

  In Cuba, China, or the Former Soviet Union
Here is my recommendation for what ails ya --
  Spend a couple months in sunny Venezuela...

Trump and Unions

We all better be going to communion,
Before we hear Trump State of Union;
For President picked,
A dumb derelict;
Hear he did consult with Soviet Union.

Union of my fingers
In the hand
Soviet a fist!
On the sovereign's body  
Yet why
Do I
H
I
T
My feet?
I remembered
I gotta get a hammer
and
Hang up
My father's sickle
On the republic's stable wall....

As much fame for Yuri Gagarin was never afforded
First man in space in 1961, was Yuri who completed one orbit
A Soviet Air Forces pilot
The acclaim was more quiet
A gigantic achievement but the acclaim was more biased...

Red Faced


Barrel Bombs
From Soviet Tombs
The Reds smell blood
Watching it glow
Old friends hold hands
While the Soviet glories implode
The murder from above
In the name of inflation
Crimes in Crimea
Exported
To Syria

Ideology 

Should there be a revolution? in the USA
The idea of democracy will survive.
Arise again and be a better democracy 
When communism fell in Soviet time
There were few tears.
The idea of collectivism didn’t die
Equality for all still survived....

I
Neo Soviet sleeper cells lying in wait
Or just crossing the border at varied places
Troop checkpoints or a forest path
Or by HALO jump from a plane
Doing their job changing the landscape
Not chopping down trees
But assassinating those on the list
Culling the ones who were an issue
That Putin wanted dead out of the way...

I was just a girl trying to get through life. Trying to fight every obstacle that would get in my way. But then, came a point were I was lost, I was devastated because I didn't know what to do. It was like I was 2 souls in 1 body. 1 soul was a burning flame and the other was as cold as the Soviet Vostok Station in Antarctica, on July 21, 1983....

The cello has a tender singing voice
Allows the feelings which we cannot say.
Among composers,  Bach would  be my choice
The cello sings   rich lyrics  with her voice.
Rostropovich , Prague ; he wept of course.
Soviet armies  marched, the Czechs  were  flayed.
The cello has a sorrowing truthful voice;
Speaks our feelings when we cannot pray....

Now I've landed some crappy jobs in the past,
but finally landed a job I'd hope would last,
working as a spy for the C.I.A.,
my first important job
on the wall of the Soviets that day...
Flying around with a little camera, 
wearing my little hat,
I saw Putin come towards me with something behind his back,
meeting my demise with a Soviet "SPLAT!"...

the day the Russians
are pushed back past their boarder
there is already unrest in Moscow
and Russia's idea
to invade Ukraine
caused a civil war
on their own soil
pro Ukraine militants
taking over towns
as they prepare for
soviet implosion
hey I'm here
I'm an American
and I think this is just
what Putin needs
or has this been
the plan all along
to become a democracy...

The war against extreme Muslims 
what did we have when we was growing up 
the Cold War 
and the probs in Northern Ireland 
Nothing changes

Just the year and enemy changes 
I'd rather have Neo Soviet Russia 
and Red China as enemies 
Tho dangerous we know their capabilities 
Little is unknown unlike this new war

"Every day will be better and better, Comrades!"
  --thus Nikita Krushchev to Soviet citizenry, nightly on TV
    before suddenly disappearing from public view in 1971 

"Every day in every way I am getting better and better."
  --thus (former mental patient) Inspector Dreyfus
    before his unfortunate demise in the 1976 film
    'The Revenge of the Pink Panther'

 What do you think?  Was there a link?...

SOBER IN THE MORNING

A famous leader called Winston Churchill
Quoted a limerick that showed poetic comedy skill
It was Winston who named the Cold War
A riddle, mystery and enigma for sure
In that Soviet era
Russia came ever nearer
To knowing what Britain now stood for
Twice he became Britain’s Prime Minister
Post war prospects became quite sinister
Yet mostly what we seem to remember
Is that V-sign and his cigar’s lit ember

Glasnost, unmuted voice, long overdue 
Once Berlin Walls and Iron Curtains fell,
Regime of old school fools he overthrew
Brave Afghan Soviet troops still live to tell.
Achieved social democracy at last,
Cold war, diplomatically, put to rest.
Hard wired propaganda of the past -
Exculpated lies of Wicked Wild West.
Victorious legacy earned at his best.

KONAKOVO


Konakovo was an ugly place


Where grass should be there was none
Rough-hewn icy paths   to slip on
Concrete blocks of massive size 
To the clouds all tried to rise
Singularly   lacking grace
A  soviet  town  with  wintry  face


We strolled in the  cold each day 
But she was by my side
We laughed at the pigeons grey
And she was by my side 
We walked near the Volga bay
And loved  the water so wide


Konakovo was a lovely place...

Basil in your Soup?
Or Basil in a cheap 1960's Soviet Sci-Fi,
Gaping at the screen,
As missiles destroy space stations,
Oh, MY!

Oh, for 15 seconds of gaping,
He becomes the star,
Of that Space Station...
To bad movie buffs,
An elation

Plan Nine From Outer Space,
Saucers on a string,
Navy Vs the Night Monster...
Now that's the real thing!!

Movies made from pocket change
Forever imprinted on our minds,
When it comes to bad films,
There are all kinds!...

"After Gandhi there are left anyone for speaking honestly"
                                  V. Putin  

Yes, I know, 
how help you
and save yours teflon image
of steep national leader
in eternity.

You must start reforms 
immediately
in all post-soviet area 
where you so busy and artfully
have kept stagnant regimes
for own benefits and glory.

If you could not do that, 
people told about you tomorrow: 
he was certainly steep old boy, 
but better not born and our time borrowed....

Breathe deeply kiddies and get some virus

Novichok flavour just for you
VX nerve gas special come get some
You'll feel fine better than the Black Death

Reaching out for you wherever you are
Even on the Moon or Planet ing Mars
Not even Santa and Old Nick are safe
Novichok gonna get you virus kaput time...

Innocent product of the 50's, baby-boomer
Soviet Union, nuclear bombs, duck and cover
Peace, love, rock and roll, they killed Kennedy
Vietnam many gone but not forgotten
Met a girl, love, marriage, children
Work, career, struggled, built a home
Said goodbye to Mom and Dad
Raised kids, in love with grandbabies
Enjoying the fruits of my labor
Eagerly searching for the next chapter in my life
