Stooks Poems | Examples


Humankind

Give me a quite room with a pen and book
Let me tie my shoes and reminisce about old school,
Underneath these massive rocks of my mountainous youth
Let me unleash the hidden truth.
What will come after modified food?

Let me meet the man behind the essence of this rule,
In those mountains serving as mirrors 
To see those wonderful creatures living outside our loop.
We cry not for those who had to choose.

Give me the higher purpose in these lanes 
To reveal those hidden names.
What about the edited books?
With thousands of words omitted 
Dozens of pages missing, facts that were never quoted 
And the summary of twisted words 
From those distorted hearts and souls. 
We are divided by neighborhoods and classified like stooks.

Centuries of homicides, genocides 
And piles of dead bodies lying by the valley side,
Out of all animals we are on top of the food pyramid
We decide who live or die as our extinction approaches quick.
Few fear the words they remember when they are pissed.

Snapshot Dating 

The right place
	The right time
Again the day begins with
Faint sunshine 
	Over the sleepy villagers 
Gathered in cities like stooks of corn
Stacked against the rainy form of
Another stormy morning 

The black & white snapshot 
Might tell a better story of
Grandfather sitting silently
On hay 
Perfectly posed 
in a quiet repose
He’s said nothing since his funeral 
That Saturday
 
In town
The young boys gathered round
The Model T with the flat tire
It’s easier than replacing horseshoes
Said the young liar among them
Lighting a smoke they went about
The work before them 
Greasing their fingernails in the
Futures of Oil Barons

The someday of overcoming fears 
Has come  and gone
The guides have taken the supplies 
And gone their way 
There is still plenty for the taking
As is love for the making of
The generations yet to come

Premium MemberSamuel Palmer Enriching the Actual Present

rumanative &
                  ancient
                  in gathering skies
                  of thunder&beating rain
groves&glades
          with enormous boles
          grasping at roots
           &twisting sinews
           clotted thatch corn stooks
                                        sprinkled
           &showered with a
           thousand eyes
motley clothing fine meshes &
              dappled skies&
              mountains of light
enriching the actual present
        pure&quaint
        a crinkled Goth
pitting his English visions
   with riches&fruitfulness
       of urgent realities
        in
          prodigal
           profusion
