Charles Monroe Poems

Blue is a good color to wear some times
And then to leave it behind these lines
They will help us to recall
Some do not have phones at all
...

Those who have oppressed, we've felt it
Now their reign, we've ended splendid.
Petunias and revolvers have a tendency to blend
Flowers over-last; rusted metals meet their end.
...

There are chains that yet remain
In these American land fields of mine.
While being Uncle Sam’s love-
-child has its perks,
...

We the Knights, We roam alone
And prefer to be unknown
Yea the fame is for the birds
And the cages for the herds
...

There are still good people on this earth
Far from the depths I heard their word
And such delight to me it rung
To know that heroes aren’t unsung.
...

Writing in the rain again
Dark nights seem to never end
Electronically repent
With a world wide web event
...

When the hills and the mountains someday are made low
And rough places made plain, and untended seeds grow
When the peacocks take flight and the crooked made straight
Until Justice rolls down like an avalanche quake
...

Above Guilty Ground
Inspired by words
When words chop the workshop
We woodshop the hurse
...

My Freeform is expensive
It's lengthy and extensive
It is a formless matter
A manner that's offensive.
...
