William Poems

My Time Machine Visits

If I had a time machine, I would visit Samuel T Coleridge
My favorite poet of all time, the author or Kubla Khan
"The wailing of his demon lover” sticks in my mind
Delighting me every time, especially today, May 1st, 1803.

As I was speaking to Samuel, his pal William Wordsworth would drop in
They would ask me if

Bows And Arrows

If Harold had spied with his little eye
the arrow flying his way
at the Battle of Hastings in 1066
the English may have won the day
but the French bastard William the Norman
prevailed and won the upper hand
to conquer the last Anglo-Saxon king
of this green and pleasant land
when King Henry V led his army of archers from Wales
at

Not Sweet William

Call me what you will
but no my name's not 'Bill'
so don't be such a silly billy
as to think I am a 'Willy'
and tho' you may say
“Here's what's his name'
to me it's all
one and the same
yet as I'm losing too much weight
have the need to feed
and don't dare be much thinner
I have one task to ask

Warren William Zevon

Warren William Zevon
weird themes his music touched on
without a care or bother
he gave us Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner

William Acrostic Poem

W is For Wonderful 
I is For Interesting 
L is For Loving 
L is For Likeable 
I is For Inspiring 
A is For Amazing 
M is for Marvelous

William Shatner

William Shatner
to the Enterprise did matter
he played the title role of Kirk
and with the alien women did flirt

William is onto something

"Hell is empty and all the devils are here” - William Shakespeare

What is this hell upon us that we live in?
What lawless times must we endure
when fools abound and we can’t win?
Where they come from we’ll never know for sure.

My best guess is that hell is empty
and they’re here loose in numbers plenty ~

Avariciousness of King William B

Avariciousness of King William B was weird
The restlessness of his marauders feared
His greediness was well-known in his day
Many were dead, so he could collect right away

His coffers were filled up by the blood of others
Corpses on the fields were many fathers and brothers
William’s disregard for the masses and cupidity
Were rivaled by his lack of empathy

Creature of Doom

What creature is this that cometh near
His luggage filled to the brim with fear
Crushing our lives, crushing our beliefs
O whence for me shall bring only griefs
What of the men whom now weep?
What of the woman buried alive in their sleep?
What of the children who once stood brave?
Their minds controlled their souls enslaved

The baneful trumpets sound

Joseph William Namath

Joseph William Namath
was known to be bold and brash
predicted a major Super Bowl upset win
then modeled Beautymist pantyhose with a grin

William Lewis, 22nd Century Explorer

William Lewis woke up one day to see 
a jungle, frightening and dark,
not knowing how he had arrived there
or which way he should embark.

He heard the stirrings of strange creatures
in every cranny and nook. 
There was fear, violence, and aggression 
in all directions his eyes took.  

In trepidation, he wondered, "where am I?",
as he

Forerunner Of The Sun By William Cowper

Forerunner Of The Sun,
                        It Marks The Pilgrims Way;

I'll Gaze Upon It While I Run,
                 

Mr William Landgrebe

An old friend came to town today,
and we took a walk down memory lane.
We reminisced about the olden days,
about how much the times had changed.

How much we’ve grown since long ago,
how time slipped in the blink of an eye.
We can never get it back it seems,
no matter how hard we want to try.

We talked about

To William Ricketts, Sculptor

Between the trees
a waterfall
                  of
                     light,
a stillness
bright with bubbling springs
and birdsong.
Here you stumbled
     

William Herebert translations

“What is he, this lordling, that cometh from the fight?”
by William Herebert, 14th century
translation by Michael R. Burch

Who is he, this lordling, who staggers from the fight,
with blood-red garb so grisly arrayed,
once appareled in lineaments white?
Once so seemly in sight?
Once so valiant a knight?

“It is I, it is I, who alone speaks right,
a champion to
