Short Starr Poems

We All
We all have tears that we cry 
We all have times we want to die
We all have moments where we sit and we stare
Waiting for someone who was never there...

Just like Edwin Starr, I have a long walk ahead of me.
A person needs strong and sturdy feet to walk twenty-five miles.
Walking will all be worth it because my woman waits at the end.

Edwin Starr asked ya what is it good for 
Big share holder bonuses 
And a  politicians ego
Don't fall for jingoistic rhetoric 
Wear the white poppy 
And tell the war mongers to go to heck  
abso.lutely.

My bestie friend is always in my heart
Knew we would from the start
We clicked and nicked.
Sucked and swallowed
Crazy days and nights that followed
Nina and Ma’s and pinching cars
and having carverys down the starr
People say we both berserk that
 Lisa-Jane Costigann and Rachel Ruthless Turk...

Metro Cardigan
with a slim fit.

Be in your thinking mature.
Hero of the day.
Atlantic Starr

Moving steadily besides the still waters.
May goodness follow me.
Ensemble Cymbalta.

Skyscrapers on top of cloud atlas,
Vanilla sky fools delight of a purple sky.
Rotating around the earth's axis.
Now let's end it on a good good note.

Why are you not here?
Didn't you love me?
Wasn't I enough, to make you change.
When I raise my arms for a hug,
there is nothing, only air.
When I cry, you are not here  to soothe my woes,
and tell me everything will be alright.
Did the thought of me chase you away?
When I should of been enough to stay.


I Love You
Your Loving Daughter

Why is it
that we suppose
we are the superior being?
When all we do
is cause death and destruction,
that's all that I am seeing!
We go to school,college,uni
and listen to teachers teach
but when will we stop all war
and practice what they preach?
If you listen to Edwin Starr
his message was simple and right.
As far as I can see,
it really does no good
when all we do is fight....

Paul wrote songs he
sang with his guitar.
The “cute” one, he
has come amazingly far!

The “smart” one John
went successfully solo, but
one tragic day got
murdered by a nut.

George, smoker, lead guitarist
and spiritual, “quiet” one,
got cancer. He’d composed
“Here Comes the Sun.”

Ringo, the Beatles’ drummer, 
met his second wife
filming “Caveman.” They’ve enjoyed
a long, rich life....

“Billy Shears” was a pseudonym for Ringo.
He was the drummer for the Fab Four as you would know.
The Sergeant Pepper album for this group went far.
Vocals for the second track were supplied by Mr. Starr.
“With a Little Help From My Friends” had a good sound.
On the back of the album cover, the lyrics could be found.
Inspiration for writing comes in a stream and never ends.
I get my ideas with a little help from my friends.

the black and
white ink laid
aside for
centerfold gold
the choice
of elementary
girl
basic colors
comically
displayed
Hagar
the horrible
Brenda Starr
the family

Blondie
dad
read all the
sections
except
mine
those
happy days
no tablet
in hand, phone
attached
to the wall
a lazy
Sunday
afternoon
however
the thought
crossed
my mind
a wristwatch
that tells time
and lets me
watch tv
besides
who knew

A dignified statesman, 
A deified ‘Godman,’
A glorified star (of films or sports)
All tumble—
After a Starr report 
Or an HIV test 
Or a dope test.
Or maybe a Watergate 
Or a Coalgate. 
Media reports or media hype?
Whistle blowers
On whistle blowers—ad infinitum. 
God and my God are antithetical?
Is rape the norm—
Where Rama and Sita are worshipped?
Whatever your belief,
Call it Postmodern Era 
Or Kali Yuga
Or what you will, 
Will entropy be the norm?
—	Ram., R. V....
