Vinal Poems | Examples


ALL BUT THE MEMORIES ARE GONE

“ ALL BUT THE MEMORIES ARE GONE “



  I WALK THE FIELDS I USED TO PLAY I LOOK BUT I DON’T SEE 
  IF MEMORY SERVES ME RIGHT TONIGHT NOTHING’S HOW IT USED TO BE      
  DRIVING THROUGH MY OLD NEIGHBORHOOD IT HARDLY LOOKS THE SAME
  TIME HAS CHANGED EVERYTHING IN TOWN ALL EXCEPT IT’S NAME 
  THIS WAS ONCE A PLAYGROUND FOR A WONDERING LITTLE BOY
  EVERY STICK AND STONE I FOUND BECAME MY NEWEST TOY
  OUR OLD HOUSE IS GONE A VINAL DUPLEX TOOK IT’S PLACE
  MY BACKYARD TREEHOUSE HAS DISSAPEARED GONE WITHOUT A TRACE  
  THE FIREHOUSE AND GRADE SCHOOL SURVIVED IT ALL SOMEHOW
  THEY USED TO SEEM SO BIG AND BRIGHT NOT SO MUCH RIGHT NOW
  GROWING UP HERE THIS TOWN WAS YOUNG AND FULL OF FUN
   THE CHANGES I SEE NOW SHOW JUST WHAT TIME HAS DONE
   I DON’T DRIVE MUCH ANY MORE I MAY NOT BE HERE AGAIN
   WHEN I LEAVE TODAY I’LL SAY GOODBYE TO MY OLD FRIEND
    WHOSE MEMORIES LIVE ON AS THEY VISIT ME IN BED
    RECURRING SWEET DREAMS STREAMING OVER IN MY HEAD    
    OF EVERYTHING I REMEMBER ALL BUT THE MEMORIES ARE GONE

Mr.Vinal Hurts Still.......An Ee Cummings Echo

believe you me sirandmiss
a country made of this
youIItthem(a blended cocktail conspiracy)

you, Land of Calvin
Klein peacoat peacocks and Maybelline
Girl with cryproof mascara dripping(fashion
-first step lacking substance(of you
I sing: land of Oliver North and Ellen Degenerous
land of malcontent:singing(quietly)humming
cooking cuisine in add-one-minute-microwave

fashion.  Shaving with grandfathers
dull razors: regifted dull past-tense,
passe(useless musings) all and every
voice:merrier men singing old songs
for yesterday dancesteps contradict
wants for(pleading) a progressive and peaceful

now.  Rome then leaned on decayed pillars
now: chasing barbarian hordless lands
are stray grazing(starved weak) seeking,
singing  A-
mer
 i
ca, I mourn
you and every-one-of-millions
bitter wanting back gifts given
continually.  Awash in(apathetic)
angst:whispers-peaceful-timid-unichs

let freedom echo

hollow. xanex glazed eyelid
americans (sitting in assigned seat,
from a menu)
eating

screaming meekly.
