Short Tra Poems

Longing
for respect,
loved for who she realy was,
not who she appeared
to be

i'm
a drink
on the rocks

straight
no chaser
with wax in

my ears
no siren song
karioki to take me

with
strangers
in the night...

Heart strings play;
A mile away;
I hear them;
In my ear, sing;
Tra la lay;
by the way;
Angels are playing
As the children are singing...

A two-day trek in the woods tra-la
Relieves the pressures of life beebopalooza
The strife of life
Carrying a knife
And all that poopy stuff yucca yucca...

                         the poor man's bank account blocked
                         begging for financial aid
                         short of cash, tra la la - la
                         women, wine and song...

Spring is here, tra-la, tra-la, my parts are all excited
Whole being is in a state of euphoria as parts were reunited
Screaming to beat the band
Heard from here to Japan
Dear Mother Nature has once again been requited...

Joe B climbs up that very steep hill
  to the WH, hand-in-hand with his wife Jill
 
    Though Joe often falls down and keeps breaking his crown
    ~ Chill Jill's off to teach in a Virginia town 


                    ~ Tra - La! ~...

Am having a birthday party
and many are invited,
please, each bring a candle
and I'll surely try to light it

There will not be a special cake
with lit candles, sing "tra la la,"
just don't mention nine sixty nine,
only "Many more, Methusalah"...

Singer,songwrter and piano man
We,fifties teens remain a fan,
Classically trained,a musical chameleon-
Oh Carol,hungry years, took him to Amarillo
But never,solitaire,this brillant Brooklyn fellow.

Why does our relationship exist man?
Sympathetic conditions.
Sympathetic conditions.
Just like the sun and the earth.

We can imagine a different kind.
But this one exist, tra-la.
But this one exist tra-la.
It the one that we got man.

For our kids there is never an other.
No, no other one. No-one.
No. No other one. None. None.
No other one. No other....

Buoyant orange flames leap like a leopard stalking the sun. Posthumously, the mountain of smoke and ash collapsing on itself, selfishly stomping out joy, but for the Aurora Borealis, the joykill of skullduggery. Her light like song notes, tra-la-la-ing. Her beauty, unscrupulous, to the roaring volcanic beast.

northern lights
emeralds and pinks
disclosing
phantasm peaks
valleys of despair

I call for you, I listen in the air;
I long for your voice to whisper through the trees;
Envisioning a pretty view, of you running barefoot ;
Through flowers;
Darling, please do;
As you go tra-la-la away...
Traveling through the fields and valleys;
Shouting out God's name, first praising His son...Jesus;
Do you have time for me;
Why your liken the wind, flying;

Pay attention and learn your letters and math 
don't forget your two pairs of rubber gloves 
make sure you always wear a frowning mask
remember there's tiny red devils on the wind
it will bloody your spirit if you breathe it in..
keep your distance from teachers and friends
just one Xi-tra smile just might do you in
don't talk to much or the red devils will rush in
keep free thought and laughter to a minimum 
these are the red rules of a devil called communism-...

The Art of the spoken word
Is east
Jerusalem 
Ornate 
Probate of the money lenders 
Who tender purity and security 
For a price
Gods children are willing to pay 
Because they are the sheep
On which the idol's seek
Prohibition 
The body and the blood 
Never knowingly 
Roots are tales 
Into the afterlives 
Slave's integrate 
At the table of former master's 
Free at last 
Free at last 
If only my children could see me now
It would all be worth while 
My Child...

Cold Winter raises its thumb
In gusty squalls, and snow drifts from 
Winter sun strikes, sits and lingers
And delights in radiant fingers 
Shining quietly in wintry complexions
A quiet wind tossing teasing reflections

Snow drifts and birds race playfully
Whilst' nature lifts with glee and gaiety
And the stars twinkle through the night sky
Silent moon shine in gleam'ng ul·tra·high
And angels dance in their moonlight journeys
As God draws nature in artistic flurries...

Only in my dreams do flowers sing 
while petals reach out for the sun 
and Oh I love the way they gleam at night   
with colors rich and bright 

Only in my dreams do flowers hum 
like cherry bombs in paradise 
and Oh I love the way they sway 
with their happy faces gay
 
Only in my dreams do flowers dance 
as they frolic to and fro 
and Oh I love the way they smell  
with their magic casting spell 

Singing tra la la la la la 
singing tra la la la la la
