Paul Amrod Poems

Sitting on an island in the sky
Wiping my eyes to see through the clouds
Swimming outside the box aware
of the differences within the crowd.
...

The flirtatious, delicious, sumptuous angel of the Brazilian nights
has captivated me with a style of samba enthralling me with her cuica.
She has fascinated me from the get go with the way she can excite
my imagination like discovering the superlative and screaming eureka.
...

Being conceived of life's breath on an evening of August
Wished from a star from the backwoods so transcendental
Greeted at birth with his optimism as the winds did gust
while a tempest with bolts of lightning did rage and glitter.
...

Have you seen majestic giant whales spring?
Have you seen dolphins dancing
and the fish that mornings take wing
like a flash so enhancing?
...

Lazy river run from the mountains to the sea
Challenged from the gravity of Earth’s motion
Slip into the ocean’s floor and rain once more.
Lazy river flow like a fountain endlessly
...

I’ve seen the stormy oceans a-brew
and swarms of bees with honey a-new.
...

Prioritizing the misers, the brokers and lobbyist's economy
Leaving the inevitable disaster with an illogical anomaly
Pleading with reporters to exercise politeness in dismay
while distress has risen as the normal order of the day.
...

Juliet, you stand quietly in a pose
demure and passive. Nevertheless
you cannot conceal the darkness
of your fate like the death of a rose.
...

As He sits before a lake meditating on mankind
Our Lord is pained while His heart begins to ache.
Thoughtless impulsivity shouting and maligned
warrants reconciliation as no soul He will forsake.
...

Turning Point USA is a diabolical conservative detour
expressing a distasteful form of a despot's demeanor.
Hobbling like Nixonites clumsily tripping out of step
displaying aggressively comments heinous and inept.
...
