Premium MemberI, too, have been to the land of Oz verses

I, too, have been to the land of Oz,
where everything is 
that never was,
where nothing is never
anyone's sole endeavor,
and where whatever is
is never just because.
When I arrived in the land of Oz,
I met a guy who claimed he wasn't who he was.
And neither was he who he'd been.
So, I was very confused when he did

Close my eyes, home I feel 
I cannot be dreaming, dreams aren't this real 
Ruby red shoes, three clicks of the heel
I will never forget how they all helped me heal 
My friend made of straw and the other Tin steel

Premium MemberWE ARE OFF TO SEE THE WIZARD, THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ



Our heroine Dorothy is caught up in a storm,
She looks around as she lands, unbeknown will transform
Children’s dreams in an adventurous way,
With her new friends, let’s say hurray,
Magic shoes travel The Yellow Brick Road, not the norm.
  

They discovered the Wizard Of Oz was human, a con,
But gave Scarecrow his much wanted brains, wow

(Lion)
 I imagine myself as a king
 With the gall to face anything
 Yes it's true, there's no denyin
 That I am the cowardly lion
 But the element of surprise I will bring!

(Scarecrow)
 I can't scare a crow or fasten a boot
 But I can reveal every square route
 I've no face for poker
 I

Premium MemberWizard of Oz - So Scary

As a child I became frightened and froze,
When I watched where yellow brick road goes.
For the witch in the sky,
Made me quiver and cry,
"Turn it off! I can’t stand her crows!"

Wizard of Oz

The scarecrows head is full of straw 
So his thinking is really poor 
With an empty head 
He has to be led 
Maybe a brain would even the score. 

Now the Tin man was really smart 
Even though he was falling apart 
He was off to Oz 
Just because 
What he needed was a heart.

Dorothy's friends comprised a quite motley lot
Wanted Wizard to fix things that were shot.
         Thought Wizard surely must know
          best fixes for poor ego
 Instead he said "These guys the best you've got?"

In the movie The Wizard of Oz
Dorothy had a major cause
how did it all begin
they would take a spin
she and her friends were breaking laws.


The law of wind took them far away
a wild storm with huge clouds of gray
to a far off land
with music and a band
now to see the sun's bright ray.


With her cute

(A call for the lights to dim as a single spotlight illuminates the legend Judy Garland, who is center stage. She wears a faded housecoat as her beautiful, brandy brown eyes hold a lifetime of stories. She speaks directly to the audience, her voice a low smoky a whisper)

Judy: 

Good evening, my dear darlings; where

Hello there, metal man, 
How do you do today?
Dear tin brain 
Dear tin limbs. Oh dear!
Weren't they always tin? 
Dear, gold and bronze golem, 
You don't mean to say 
You were a man? 
A real one? 
A tin beast, you were born

Premium MemberThe Wizard of Oz, epilogue

Happy ending in the movie: Dorothy: Oh, but anyway, Toto, we're home. Home! And this is my room, and you're all here. And I'm not gonna leave here ever, ever again, because I love you all, and - oh, Auntie Em - there's no place like home!


Despite the happy ending 
Miss Gulch won't fade away

Premium MemberSomewhere

"Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue,"
A radio plays where the curtains withdrew

Her distant voice drifts from another room,
Drizzling drops still fall and dark clouds loom

In another place, another day, another time,
The house was new and the weather sublime 

Winds whistle through windows broken, 
Singing along with the lyrics spoken

Echoing from somewhere with hope anew,
"Somewhere

Premium MemberTin Man - ::POTD::

My work is identity
The axe in my hand
No blisters to bother me
As for years I just stand

The weeds and the flowers
Call me back down to earth
The brown rust confuses
Destroys my self-worth

The tears and the rain
Have frozen me here
It could be forever
At least that is my fear

But then I hear singing
And love with a twirl
There's something

Wizard of Oz Casting Call

I've had several poets ask who I'd have cast in the roles of characters, so if no one is willing to play along, OR allowed to... I'll still share my thoughts.  Since I limited the parts to 3 per character, please know that some of you would've been added to this list, but I

News From the Wizard of Oz

It's raining mud in Kansas,
200 miles an hour wind-hammers
broke Kentucky's heart.
Good people rush to help,
poets watch,
dogs bark
reporters report.

In the days of the Delta variants
children are left out in the cold
to eat lunch -
it's for their own good.

Meanwhile an iron gauntlet
grips the neck of the Republic
for its own good,
but it's all bad

and there is still no
