Best Regrouped Poems

In eighteen seventy nine; twenty second of January 
Was the day of a great battle and for the Zulus victory 
At Isandlwana the Zulu army showed no fear
Against British guns, armed with shield and spear. 

Twelve thousand warriors from the Zulu nation 
Wiped out the...

The trail was long and very dusty
great clouds churned up by hooves
of the vast herd being wrangled on
300 more miles of eating their dust

Bandana's tightly wrapped round faces
cries of "get up there" ringing out
bawling calves separated from mothers
hiss of hot branding irons scorching

A rumbling constantly...

He only saw a speech bubble from the

paper's cartoon section.

The facial expressions and gestures

were clear-that is the action.

'Hagar the Horrible' waving a sword

in the name of protecting the nation.

All that he saw in a paper's section.

And he yearned to grasp its meaning.


 

It's the funny...

We will on that long awaited Saturday of October
at a ceremony graced by men of great stature
be officially declared victors in academics

We will take a well-rehearsed parade
towards the podium where we will shake hands
with professors and be crowned
with a title no one can ever take...

(The Battle for Orgreave Pit)

Cries of Zulu as miners rushed the barricades
Truncheons banging against riot shields
A nation at war with itself
Men of South Yorkshire,
United in the right to defend their pit

Maggie’s the Caesar of capitalism
Her legionnaires bought with 30 pieces of silver
Brought from the four...

From Riches to Rags


Most human beings are living like ghosts,
Not really knowing what the future holds.
Whilst we wash in the slime, 
In our own cardboard homes.


There is a building, that is your home.
Once picture perfect; now in ruins after a cyclone.
Now like those you once...

And I walk and walk and walk
The tenderness of my feet 
Transformed in to a hard Foot Step
With the passing time and life's heat
Through the sirens and blacked out evenings
Through the bare footed run down the alleys
In the rain soaked neighborhood
With friends and brothers catching...

The skirmish at Bunker Hill almost became a British scandal,
Since the Yanks gave the Brits almost more than they could handle!
General Howe expected the Yanks to toss their muskets and flee,
But the Yankee rabble fought to keep the colonists free!

Things looked mighty bleak during the...

Heart and Soul

From the depths of my heart, thru the breath of my soul
You’ve held me in your hands to pliably mold
And I held on to you in just the same way

As we made choices together each and every day.
Two individuals with always the same...

The Fermi Paradox: Where is everyone?
The Universe is nearly 14 billion years old say those in the know.
Enough time to populate our galaxy they say!
But is this really so?
The elements in our bodies were created in the stars,
blasted into space when they died and exploded.
How...

I like it when the stars a line,
it's like every thing goes perfect every thing you find,
I like a summer sun set in late June,
I've regrouped calmed my soul changed my tune,
I like the sound of the ocean as it crashes on the rocks,
no matter...

...The sharp-shooters opened on him first,
Cutting down fifteen of his dragoons,
Tartleton ordered a grand charged,
with his infantry now on the move.

The sharp-shooters fired and fell back,
were absorbed in the second line,
who had been ordered to fire twice,
then get out of there double-time.

They targeted British officers,
took...

She was the hub of Christmas time but  
when she got sick, the world they knew fell apart 
The empty freezer hummed void of cookies and tarts, 
as the old tree lay in the shed undecorated and bare. 
In the lobby the doctor gathered...

Replacing you is like replacing my limbs
It would cost my whole life; to you a fortune
The price put on us is more than important
To me and I don't need to struggle anymore
Still can't understand why you were so patient with me for
Time after time, I...

She’d say

you used to
pen little notes
to me
used to text
me
all the time

used to
make a nice
dinner on
some nights
and talk to
me for awhile.

you used to
tune into
me
when I talked
used to smile
at me always

used to
throw me
anywhere
and show
me why I
mattered

I should have
told her why
but by then
retreat was
complete I
used to drift

where I...
