Cynthia Long Poems

1.

The assassination of President John F. Kennedy
To many this has always been an unsolved Mystery

JFK was shot in Dallas, Texas on the 22 of November
...

It’s so pretty to see everything show

Covered in a thick blanket of snow
...

The Kennedy’s
Joe and Rose’s Children

Joseph’s plane was shot down near England during WWII
...

I miss the days when I’d help my grandmother
Those were the days like no other
Hang the freshly washed clothes out in the sun to dry on the line
I used to enjoy helping her all the time
...

Went for a cruise on the maiden ship Titanic,
A wonderful ship everyone said would be epic
I was not scared because it was unsinkable
To be in fear would for me be unthinkable
...

Influenced and taught us
Made us laugh then cry
Frightened us and
Made us think
...

7.

Poem about my wonderful grandfather
John Walker served his country in WWII
It was something he felt obligated to do.
...

8.

Use your time wisely or you just may regret
Read a nice book about a true story of a pet

Write family stories to pass on down
...

Success is measured in many a way
Because you have lots of money they say
Or because you have an education
From a good college with accreditation
...

My mother had just put me down for a nap
And was folding clean diapers on her lap
When Cronkite broke in on her show
And announced for everyone to know
...

Stuck inside for quite a few days
After the sky hurled down the ice, snow and freezing rain
Leaving bitter-cold temperatures that are quite frightening to hear
All the news reports suggest “staying inside and being safe”
...

Woke up in another time in place
Somewhere in Louisiana in the 16-1700’s
I have maids, and I’m wearing a
Black hat and a black and white dress
...

Soaked trees from the rain
and fallen leaves, that cover paths
lined with glowing pumpkins
Houses with dimly lit porch lights
...

14.

Remembering the days of old, when father raked the leaves of
Golden, yellow, brown and orange
Jumping into the huge crisp pile, I tossed them all about
As my father raked them on top of me
...

15.

Something eerie about the fog
Hovering over a town for a spell
Fog has its own personality
Causing your eyes to play tricks
...

Time is still
a frigid air 'ice age'
the world has frozen
In its own tracks
...

Fall is quickly approaching

Right before our eyes
...

Walking through the woods
I’m not sure where I’m at
The darkness I’m looking into
Is exceedingly overpowering
...

Memories of good times
A thought of long ago
Music reminds you of
A time that has passed
...

It’s a time for giving thanks
Not just time to stuff your tanks

Many won’t have the traditional
...

The Best Poem Of Cynthia Long

Jfk

The assassination of President John F. Kennedy
To many this has always been an unsolved Mystery

JFK was shot in Dallas, Texas on the 22 of November
We are still mourning him, and will always remember

Abraham Zapruder had no idea what he'd be filming
Would be under scrutiny by the public for viewing

Some said the shots came from the grassy knoll
Where they came from no one will ever know

Jackie Kennedy in terrible shock, crawled out onto the limousine
She could not recall doing this, when the Secret Service Intervened

Walter Cronkite reported this shocking news to us in tears
And in all his years of work, he will forever be revered

Jackie in her blood stained suit stood beside Lyndon B. Johnson
When he took the oath of office to be next president of our nation

Oswald told the world that he was a patsy
Jack Ruby shooting him on TV was ghastly

Life Magazine chronicled the events
Filling each page with all JFK contents

To this day there still are reenactments and movies
And everyone like me still feels this is newsworthy
