Eagle's Salute

Oh, say, can you see
Here our treasure lies buried:
America’s brave
Died for star spangled banner
And the homeland of the free.

an acre of

freedom under

Star-Spangled Show

Stars staged their night show
Soon as stepped in from window,
My sleep watched in awe.

And highlight that new fangled scanner

There once was a lad named Cy Milgram
A regular cool and hip pilgrim --
   He saw Plymouth 'Rock'
   Said, "Fast forward the clock!" --
Played Jimi Hendrix ~ nearly killed 'em

Star
Singing
Purple haze
Put spell on you
Electric guitar
The star spangled banner
Another overdose done
Poetic lyrics mesmerize
Waves of tunes that do misplace the mind
Music of his replayed, this very day

Beyond mortal prophesy

Drifting
on a vast ocean
emerald spangled
calling to celestial plains
of the lost citadel 
where forgotten tribes 
communed in radiant silence
and telepathed secrets
beyond the mortal prophesies
of sages.

Premium Member We Sang, We Saluted

Remember when, 'way back then'
Our flag we flew -- to cheers, not boos

Old Glory, all saluted
No one taunted, no one hooted

'Star-Spangled Banner' folks sang
Off-key, tear-stained twang
     
We believed every word
Deep yearnings stirred

Mardi Gras

Beads fly by
Kids grab for candy
Bands play Jazz
Spangled girls
Sweat and sugar sticks to me
Laughter fills the air 

Catch the beads
The floats go by us
Look at that
Wonderful
What a way to welcome Lent
First one last Beginet

Premium Member aarogant rooster sings at Wrigley Field

Star spangled banner rooster crowing away, arrogance does not yield.
What? He is singing the star-spangled banner at Chicago, Wrigley Field?
That will do nothing but give him a much higher puffed up head.
There is no living with the guy now, his unassuming wife said.

a spangled stand stood at a summer fair
the sugar shack sells at nine dollars a treat
pastel skeins of silk spun lighter than air
melt-in-mouth-goodness, so delectable and sweet

each tender bite is a firework of ecstasy
but this transient delight sure costs a pretty penny!

Stars

STARS

Star light, star bright,
first flare I see tonight,
star spangled lights
on the Eastern horizon.

Out there somewhere,
is a normal PX world;
out beyond the horizon
and further yet beyond 
multicoloured skyward flares.

I wish I may, I wish I might,
not find Charlie this night.

Premium Member Mercurys Dream

Falling riffs like spangled gold,
And sounding drums seem to explode
A surge of tapping, dancing feet,
The piano’s notes, mon coeur entreat.
Cherie amour the air is ''sweet'', so silver laced,
Each face reflects another’s shine
As endeavours fruit is taken in
Like fragrant mellow wine.

New Wizards

Now new Wizards come on scene in spangled coats 

PR Experts, Press, Politicians paint new scenes

That set us all at odds, each other’s throats

With smears, distorting mirrors, cunning memes

Speak of the "Stripes"

Speak of the "Stars"

Speak "Hate" of "Others"

In "Racist Rant Bars"


Speak of your "Country"

Speak of your "Pride"

Speak with "Proud Voice"

The "Hate" kept "Inside"


Speak of "God's Love"

Speak of "Gold Shelves"

Speak "Hate" of "Freedom"

Speak for "Yourselves!"

The Star-Spangled Glory

As the star-spangled glory,
Flies proud and grand,
With the home of the brave,
Though hill scattered lands,

With the star-spangled banner,
Gleaming o’er the shore
As the noble eagle
Stretches and soars

And the flag flies brilliant,
By mountains high,
As the crop fields spread,
Beneath won’drous blue skies.

The Huntress

Girded loins sway
in restive need of sterile quarry,
lithe star spangled limbs
span the velvet heavens,
silver huntress Diana
unbends slender crescent arms,
looses the gleaming arrow,
unknowing, unerring, the missile
flies to the mark,
unflinching, the prey falters
in fatal ecstasy,
finite pleasure 
alloyed with infinite pain.

Lilies

Lazing in spring's warm bliss
               lure butterflies with scents
     Lustrous pearly dewdrops
                  leave velvety footprints
     Landscape spangled with stars
             Lissome leaves in white hues
     Lie on me when I die...

limitless  
endless rounds repeating
banquet of unmeasured sustenance  

liquid light  
released into coolness  
assuaging my soul's brown thirstiness 

eyes open  
unguarded, unafraid  
sinking in spangled star reflections 

color arc
rushing joyful cascade  
letting go, untethered forever

Here I am darling 
at the center 
of my everything,
gazing over a lake
looking upon 
silver stars lovingly
dancing inside ripples.

Sparkling in 
a moving mass
kisses gently ,
touching deep waters,
blinking diamond thoughts
upon a moon face,
reflections flooding 
through the mind 
every last one shines
sweetly on 
you my love.

Prestige & Pride

Synonymous with freedom,
American liberty,
A voice to vote, political boat,
Laws of Constitutionality.

Parallel to choices,
America the brave,
A pledge to honor, a brlliant bonner,
Preamble promise gave.

Equality in History,
America deems duty,
Into the waves, all Countries crave,
This Star Spangled beauty.
