Virginia Poems

Virginia

I want to go to Virginia

With a girl named Virginia.

Feel the sullen breeze cross my face,

Surf over the knobby contour of my nose, 

Then whiz past my ear as I hold Virginia close.


Her honeysuckle shampoo 

Permeating my brain.

Both sets of our eyes gaze riverward,

Wondering if the dream had started

Or is this the magical reality

We forever

Virginia Woolf

Have you read the note?
It speaks of the doom of the liquid element.
An inclement weather, grey, and with the fuss of a bleached lightning,
Besieges the tick of the clock.
Must have been a bland Sunday, which retreated
From the temerity of old wine,
Haunted by the lonesome refrains of exhausted hymns.
The belfry yawned loosely....
But quiet crept in like

The Hitchhiker

This highway's mine, goodbye to Jayne,
so long, farewell, Virginia Plain,
strife was yesterday's heavy load,
life is tomorrow's open road,
it's time to hitchhike once again.

Heading where songs, don't sound the same,
and no-one stops to ask your name,
they'll think I'm another Tom Joad,
this highway's mine.

Generations tried to explain,
through war in Spain, and Catskill rain,
how quickly continents explode,
but somehow

Virginia Woolf And Suicide

In Virginia's mind, a tempest swirled,
A brilliant mind, yet shadows curled.
Words flowed like a river deep and wide,
Yet within her soul a tumultuous tide.

She danced with joy, a fleeting waltz,
Yet battled demons, unseen assaults.
To the lighthouse of her soul, she'd strive,
But darkness whispered, she couldn't survive.

A room of her own, a refuge sought,
Yet the waves

As I Began To Understand Virginia Woolf

as i began to understand Virginia Woolf
her voice from a room of her own
i realized i was upon a mountain
she had exposed the molehill it was
the dirt soon revealed a tunnel
entering it opened a new horizon
where i finally fully grasped the world
surrounding Jane Austen
in that moment the mist upon the horizon
disappeared and i could finally

The Thunder Birds of West Virginia

If you follow an oxycontin mule into the woods
it may lead you nowhere,
and that is where you may stumble upon
a flying beast so rare
that it exists only on the edge of itself.

The Cherokee name them Thunder Birds,
pterodactyls for sure,
their large leathery hides loop and swoop.
Rarely are they found nesting,
but are said to be everlasting.

O West

Virginia

We sat on the porch of your best friends apartment
Passing the time with cigarettes and conversation
You sat on my lap in a proclamation of ownership
Never once questioning the rings in our swollen lips

Inhaling your breath like a cold, autumn wind
Marloburo reds and your darkness within
Despite all the secrets; spilling from me
You bought every line your

Wild and Wonderful West Virginia - Repost

I stand on the edge of a spectacular canyon
A river in the distance far, far below
With mountains rising above each side
Reflecting in the rushing tide, as though
One might miss the verdant foliage crests.
New River Gorge they call this place
A flora and fauna national preserve
Nature's playground at its absolute finest.
Far below in the foamy surging rapids
Are

Halloween In the West Virginia Hills

As kids growing up in the hills of West Virginia,
We were poor, but no one was any better off.
Halloween was a time we looked forward to,
But there was no money for the store-bought stuff.
Costumes and treats were always homemade
And so, we would scrounge around for things
Old clothes, cardboard boxes, and burlap sacks
From which we became

My American Daughters

I
My two daughters love Two States
Two ways, at least
They love Maryland & Virginia
They love English and Spanish
They love their dad and Mom
They love Democrat & Republican as American
They know the Constitution didn't make Parties
They Know G. Washington warned Parties
Divide anation, when electing should take best 'man'
For the job he refused to Name "king" - but

Some joke about the Lord's prayer taught to disciples in Matthew 6: 9-13 -

"GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD"- We trust God for heaven, but daily bread is my work and duty.

Jesus wanted us to take EVERY CONCERN, WORRY, QUARREL to God or the Trinity. He could have taught His disciples to pray for

Virginia

Virginia is a bread-and-butter woman.
She reckons by the Farmers’ Almanac.
She welcomes you with southern inhibitions,
Then gossips to her friends behind your back.

Virginia goes to church each Sunday morning,
And sings about the gospel’s golden light.
Her business with the pastor needs no mention,
Except that she’s the minister’s delight.

Virginia’s is a complicated history.
Her family tree has dark and

In the Heart of Appalachia

In the heart of Appalachia 
are a people
Stigmatized and down trodden 
honestly forgotten
they will invite you over for Sunday dinner
Their hospitality unrivaled
they will tell you this history of their people
From the great rivalries to its famous people

They take pride in the work they do 
cause their momma's taught them so
and their papas would make it
