Tra Poems - Poems about Tra

Shock!
unreal, unshaken disbelief.
Choice!
the people spoke, 
democracy breathes.
What was promised—
a mirage,
a lie.
False hopes built to divide,
now shattered,
leaving many wide-eyed,
denied,
unrecognized,
lost in the wreckage of the unexpected.

A reckoning.
A trauma.
A truth too sharp to ignore.

A Villanelle Tra La La 
Tra la la-I couldn't stop thinking bout this song
Twas just so minuscule and kind
This I could never forget this verse twangs bings-bongs

That morn, hearing this new verse encounters so long a song
The song so calming settling each and every line
This musical verse couldn't stop thinking about the song

Later, ringing singing

Sin Awe Tra La La La La La

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

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

Tra

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

Premium MemberOn Day Closer To Spring Tra-La

One day closer to spring tra-la
One day closer to spring
Wish the days would just fly on by
Instead of lingering

Who needs winter, nobody I say
Time when everything dies
Three seasons surely would do us fine
We'd be a bunch of happier guys

Who do we talk to about our plight
A man in charge of complaints
Don't usually like to make

Premium MemberI'M Eating My Way Through the Fridge, Tra-La

I'm eating my way through the fridge, tra-la!
I'm eating my way through the fridge
Do I feel a little bit guilty about it?
Maybe a bit more than a smidge

Someone's got to get rid of this stuff
It's been here for more than a week
The plastic containers are starting to bulge
Don't dare lift their lids for a peek

Saw

Tra La La

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.
And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I

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.
