REFECTIVE

DENNY R ALLISON Dec 2022

REFECTIVE

I awaken in the dark of night,
To a stark and chilling sight.
11:34 reflecting the alarms red light.

I got a big surprise when I typed up my poem. You see my alarm is digital and 11:34 looked much different, and it startled The you no what out of me

Reflective Moon

DENNY R ALLISON Jun 2024

Reflective Moon

From the earth's beginning
of life, and night,
It has been a companion,
to all with sight.

A controller of nature,
and oceans tides.
Showing only one side
the other it hides

Cycling from lighted face,
to smiling away.
It taught humans a span,
longer than a day.

Floating above in white
florescent grace,
A symbol of Romance, and
a slower pace.

Realizing that everyone,
each and all.
Have looked up with wonder
of earth's reflective ball.

RHYME THYME

DENNY R ALLISON Feb 2021

RHYME THYME

DO YOU REMEMBER THE FEEL:

THE PULL OF THE FISH AGAINST THE REEL.

GETTING THE RIGHT CARD ON THE LAST NIGHTS DEAL.

THE CLANKING ROLLERCOASTER AS IT CREST THE HILL.

WHEN YOU AWAKE AND REALIZE THE NIGHTMARE NOT REAL.

YOU STEP OFF THE CURB AND HEAR TIRES SQUEAL.

YOU FIRST HEARD OF CHRIST SUFFERING UPON THE HILL.

THE CRUMPLING OF PAPER FOR LACK OF SKILL.

This is an exercise or game I enjoy. I give myself a first line then try coming up with rhyming lines. I'm putting it out here because this morning I encounter a rhyming poem historical quiz I enjoyed. So in my lame attempt to further the popularity of rhyming I would ask You fellow poets to send in a second line. All I asks is that it rhyme with the word "feel". I suggest you write down a few and send the best. Feel free to use the rhyming words I have used. I hope this is enjoyable to some if not I'll leave a last one . " of wasting your time reading this spheal "

  on your poetry, recently.
The refresh, on hepo keeps

   tablet, for me.

Save the Trees

DENNY R ALLISON Sep 2022

Save the Trees

I think That I shall never see,
a book of poetry,
That didn't **** a tree.

Maybe Joyce Kilmer was a conservationist?

Sign of the times

DENNY R ALLISON Dec 2021

Sign of the times

Leaving the forest in an enlightened mood,

A hemlock root did intrude.

Sending me crashing upon my knee.

And the crow flew away mocking me.

Apologies to the reader, and Mr. Frost, for my state of mind. We seem to have lost everything that made us bind. Hellopoetry would not take this when I titled it Alternate Truth

"Snappy Answers"

DENNY R ALLISON Apr 2023

"Snappy Answers"

Why did I always have a fold
In my Mad magazine?
Because Al's irreverent art work
just had to be seen.

Farewell Mr.Jaffee. This old man, was a fan.

So Crisp and Clear

DENNY R ALLISON Sep 2023

So Crisp and Clear

Doctors and lasers, have
    returned to my sight,
A vision of my world,
    so focused and bright.
Oh how, I wish that
    they could find.
Something that worked
     as well, with my mind.

So it goes, with prose

DENNY R ALLISON Feb 2022

So it goes, with prose

Pen is moving, anxious to start.
   Will it translate what's in the heart?
Ink is now, beginning it's flow.
   Staining the paper, with what comes from the soul.
Lines change into letters, forming the words.
   Will they be the ones, that want to be heard?
Sentences follows sentence, after a time,
    are they conveying, what was held in the mind?
With the final period, laying down the pen.
    Till the need arises, to begin, again.

So Long Pirate

DENNY R ALLISON Sep 2023

So Long Pirate

Jimmy, was the Worlds,
Great Gimmy.

Sometimes

DENNY R ALLISON Feb 2021

Sometimes

Sometimes from the pen the words must flow,
and I must simply let them go.
Hoping only that they shine,
more than the blank paper they left behind.

So Tired

DENNY R ALLISON May 2023

So Tired

No matter how much
the body needs it sleep,
It's impossible when the brain,
needs to speak.

Spark in the Dark

DENNY R ALLISON Sep 2023

Spark in the Dark

When the power goes out,
there is no doubt.
How dependent, we be,
on our electricity.

Speak to Me

DENNY R ALLISON Feb 2022

Speak to Me

Take the language of humanity,
    Choose the words that Sing, to Thee.
Arrange with the precision of universal time.
   Write them down in perfect composition, and rhyme.
Leave us mortals, one and all,
    Envious, and filled with awe.
                 Speak to me,
                         Speak to me
                                    In poetry.

SPOONING

DENNY R ALLISON Mar 9

SPOONING

A position of love and
     comfort,  attended.
        Long, before the
           spoon, invented.

Tell while Well

DENNY R ALLISON Aug 2024

Tell while Well

Being bold,
  Not as easy,
    When old.
          Yet!
Best, stories
   often unfold,
     when told.

Thanks Alot 🎄

DENNY R ALLISON Dec 2024

Thanks Alot 🎄

Heroes, this time of
   Year, not hard
        to Spot.
Ringing a bell, over
     a red ***.
Getting a toy, for
    an unknown, Tot.
Passing out food
   In a parking Lot.
Dipping out a dinner
  filling and Hot.
Supplying a needed
  sleeping Cot.
The heroes, who have,
   serving the
         Have- not.
Still, a great Country
    we've, Got!

The "Act" Fact

The "Act" Fact

Align, insert.
In and again,
Till squirt.

the "Best"

DENNY R ALLISON Sep 2023

the "Best"

Do you remember, the "BEST"
     Poem you ever Read,
the one that, to your love
     of Poetry, it led?
Did it set you upon your quest,
     to write a Poem to pass the test,
       of being someone else's,
            "BEST"?

THE FINAL WORD

DENNY R ALLISON Mar 2021

THE FINAL WORD

HERE I SET A LITTLE PERTURBED,
MY POEM FINISHED, EXCEPT FOR
THE FINAL WORD.
SO I LOOK INWARD, SEARCHING AROUND,
KICKING UP ADJECTIVES, ADVERBS, AND THE OCCASIONAL NOUN.
THERE IT IS, IT LOOKS JUST RIGHT,
SO I GRAB IT, AND TO MY PAPER I WRITE.
YES I THINK, I'VE FOUND IT THIS TIME,
BUT NO MATTER HOW I TRY, IT JUST DOESN'T RHYME.
ALARMED, I'M GETTING NEAR THE BOTTOM OF MY LIST.
COULD IT BE THE FINAL WORD, JUST DOESN'T EXIST?
FEELING LOST FOR THE WORD,BEGINNING TO DESPAIR.
THEN OUT OF NOWHERE, IT'S JUST THERE!
FINALLY OVER, WRITTEN AND PENNED.
AFTER FINDING THAT FINAL WORD THE "END".

THE FRONT GATE

DENNY R ALLISON Feb 2021

THE FRONT GATE

SOMETIMES THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
ACCEPTANCE AND HATE,
IS HOW FAR WE LOOK BEYOND
THE OTHERS FRONT GATE.

The light of good or evil

DENNY R ALLISON Apr 2022

The light of good or evil

I hope every Man, Woman, Child, Organization,
and Government knows.
For better or worse, the light that shines behind it,
Determines now big, it's shadow grows.

The Nutshell

DENNY R ALLISON Jun 2023

The Nutshell

The mind, determines, who is me.
The heart, determines, how long I'll be.

The poem on my tombstone

DENNY R ALLISON Apr 2022

The poem on my tombstone

With the first breath,
         a Cry!
     With the last breath,
            a Sigh.
         With all in between,
                  a Why?

The Same Only Different

DENNY R ALLISON Jul 2022

The Same Only Different

Can't we see, our choice to be.

A part or Apart

The Tilt

DENNY R ALLISON Feb 2024

The Tilt

The death of a loved one,
effects the souls symmetry.
When the scale of life, tips
from, knowing, to memory.

Time for a Rhyme?

DENNY R ALLISON Sep 2024

Time for a Rhyme?

It seems,now on "hello poetry,"
  only a fraction
       is getting to me.
Going to following, only
      a few I see.
Is this the future
     of this site to be.
Someone fix this
      is my plea!
It, I find, means
   much too thee.

True Blue

DENNY R ALLISON Feb 2024

True Blue

Arguing a belief till your face turns blue,
Doesn't necessarily make it true.

UNREQUITED CANDLE WISH

AND MY NAME WOULD LIVE ON FOREVER.

"OOPS" I WASN'T SUPPOSE TO TELL YOU. NOW IT WILL NEVER COME TRUE

Vanishing Words

DENNY R ALLISON Jun 2022

Vanishing Words

It seems my pen, for ink, seems to lack.
While experiencing a gravity attack.
When trying, to write on my back.

We knew, So few

DENNY R ALLISON Oct 2024

We knew, So few

Earth's history of humans,
   spans ages,
Yet individually, we get,
   so few pages.
In this time, so few, we
   get to know.
The rest, just flakes,
    in our blizzard, snow.

WE KNOW

DENNY R ALLISON Jun 2021

WE KNOW

Round and round our life goes,
          And where it stops,
                 Mankind's Curse,
                      Everyone knows.

WHAT REALM?

DENNY R ALLISON Apr 2021

WHAT REALM?

TO THE COSMIC SEEKERS, AND PIOUS WITH NO DOUBT,
MAYBE THE ANSWER, OUR BRAIN NOT DESIGNED TO FIGURE IT OUT.
COLLECTIVELY WHAT OUR BRAINS HAVE ACCOMPLISHED NO LESS THAN MYTHIC.
WHAT THEY CAN DREAM, MAY DWELL ONLY IN THE REALM OF THE MYSTIC.

"Why" before "Die"

"Why" before "Die"

Trying to understand,
the great plan,
Ultimate quest, of
Woman, and Man.

Why's

DENNY R ALLISON Mar 2024

Why's

Genocides,
   Both sides,
     Hostage Prize,
       Tunnel Spies,
         Rocket Skies,
          Towns Demise,
  Hunger Rise,
     Leaders Lies,
      Religions Despise,
       Anger Flies,
         Trade Plies,
          Government
            Tries,
             Reason Dies,
                God Cries.

Wild 'N' Wet

DENNY R ALLISON Jun 2022

Wild 'N' Wet

New Coaster,
     Big Boaster.
   A Dare,
        They Share.
      Up Creak,
           Over Peak.
         Loud Scream,
               A Stream.
             New Pair,
                  Underwear.

Will we know?

DENNY R ALLISON Mar 2021

Will we know?

EVERY DAY WE TREAD TOWARD OUR MORTAL ENDING,
WILL WE SIMPLY BE GONE, OR STARTING OUR NEW BEGINNING.
IS THERE A CHEQUE TO BE DETERMINED SAINT OR SINNER,
OR THE NEXT COURSE, IN A LIFE EXTENDING DINNER.
WILL WE KNOW THE HEAT OF HELL, OR THAT GARDEN OF ADAM'S.
OR SIMPLY REJOIN THE UNIVERSE AS BILLIONS OF ATOMS.

Wonders

DENNY R ALLISON Jan 2024

Wonders

The wonders of nature,
    that so attract,
are made by forces under,
    constant attack.
The wonders of humans,
      the world begat,
when together they said,
      we can build that.

"Wordtography"

DENNY R ALLISON Apr 30

"Wordtography"

A picture is worth,
     a thousand words.
A true phrase, often
      heard.
Yet the "wordtographer"
    who places, pictures
       in the mind.
A rarity, of the
     human kind.

This is dedicated, to all the "Wordtographers" who have made this site, for me such a constant delight.
