Cameron Gallant Poems

There once was a man who was dead
Who could not understand what we said
We wanted to play
But he lay there all day
...

I may laugh at your jokes
But I turn away and desperately I search
For a way out of your harsh cruel grasp
Your disrespectful demeanor and temper-driven wrath
...

The war that holds in all our hearts
That stayed so long and caused the dark
The war that caused our men to die
Though proxy to a larger crime
...

The hanging peace orb is gone; veiled by impervious haze.
Fumes of powder move through a still breeze.
Brave at heart, strewn, lie; their fate disclosed.
Nitrous oxide seduces some lucky few left to die.
...

War is a human thing and nothing else
only with humans do two fronts slaughter each other for esteem or shiny mineral
only with humans do very brothers maim and strike each other for glory of their cause
only with humans do old men dream, while young men die
...

The sun was hot iron to the eye
The moon was veiled come the impervious night
The lone howl of a lone coyote cried
The group of men huddled closer to their cackling fire
...

Poems are random words
Random papers sticking out of random drawers
And they’re the scribbles of a bunch of random people’s souls
And nothing more
...

I was so bored
I fell asleep and snored
Abruptly I yelled “YAOOO! ”
And I am very angry now
...

It was a dark and stormy night,
With the thunder bolts and the light,
And the wind gushing past the house,
The street light flickered, then went out.
...

What do you see, when you look at that woman who has no money to feed
The children she cares about, the children she loves. Do you see what I see?
I see a confused and messed up society, we need to get our principles straight
Isn’t the woman out on the streets, a bit more worthy of food then the people we’ve chained who’ve shot their husbands or kidnapped children to rape?
...

I don’t really know where I want to take my life
I’m not sure if I’m any good
Maybe I’m just a lemon
Constantly bombarded with every insult in the book
...

Holds the past
Inner layers deep
Sedimentary deposits
Hold in silent peace
...

13.

As the bison can't feed without green grass below,
As the people can't live without bison galore,
As the grass grows too long, with no buffalo eating,
As the water feeds all, keeps them living -
...

Fumes of raw scorched fossil fuels
O’er mother earth man cruelly pollutes
Caring not of webs of life
Or masses of creatures’ lives deprived
...

15.

The flowers wave to oncomers
Their aroma swirling about
The light spring morning's flowing gown
Waking the seeds left by the birds last fall
...

16.

When the day is fresh and sun is new
When the mosses drip with morning dew
When the crystal webs of spiders shine
And symbolize a dawning time
...

A dull whisper from the wind
Telling a deep secret to hickory
When its leaves are ripe and trunk is cool
Begins the origin of a mystery
...

Mommy cried.
She said the baby died.
But when I asked why,
She said ‘I’ll tell you in time’.
...

Dog was a hog
Hog was a dog
Log was a bog
And bog was the fog
...

I’m a spaceship
I’m never last
I look super good
And I’m super fast
...

The Best Poem Of Cameron Gallant

The Dead Man Limerick

There once was a man who was dead
Who could not understand what we said
We wanted to play
But he lay there all day
So we pushed him back under the bed.

Cameron Gallant Quotes

Smart people ask stupid questions. Stupid people don't ask any.

Intention determines the evil doers from the innocent.

If you never act like yourself when you're around others, then who are you?

We never ask for what we want. We only imply what we want in hopes who's listening will guess what we want and then give us what we want.

People have more faith in the Devil than in God.

Rather than trying to be well rounded in everything, think of yourself as a star. You don't want to be perfectly balanced, with every skill equally developed. You want to have several skills that you really enjoy that you can exploit and excel at, like the points of a star.

It's not worth being a resume rather than yourself.

You can never imagine anything you've never seen.
