Terry Hoffman Poems

Harambe, he enjoyed his life,
had nothing much to do.
He sat around and ate all day
in the Cincinnati Zoo.
...

Give me a glass of real milk;
never mind that stuff called 'silk'.

I need the kind, tried and true;
...

I am just a person
with the worst luck of all.
Now I'm going to take the time
and do some recall.
...

Father Winter is departing;
Princess Spring is coming forth.
She's arriving from the south,
while he is going north.
...

Spring is in the air'
That's such an old cliché,
but what else can apply
to such a lovely day?
...

The world is my audience,
I play upon that stage.
If they stops their listening,
then I turn the page.
...

I'm in love with that soft Easter bunny;
he's so cute and sometimes he is funny.
He delivers those eggs,
on his long bouncy legs,
...

I love my Lucie,
she is everything to me.
That's how it should be.
...

In spring time, the birds all do sing,
announcing what nature will bring.
New eggs in a nest,
a robin's love fest
...

Sadness pushes at my souls,
rubs me in the ground.
Then I'll look up at a bird,
hear a rousing sound.
...

Spring is in the air;
flowers everywhere;
trees no longer bare;
on the lawn a hare.
...

On a cold and blustery day,
a nestling drenched in rain
fell from its nest onto the lawn;
can't get back again.
...

Fire burning heralds dawn,
its tendrils reaching out,
announcing birthing of new day
and the night time's rout.
...

Spring is the dearth of icy snow;
the time when all the flowers grow.

Spring is the warmth of sunlit days
...

I bow my head to nature's wrath;
it is my Kismet
to posture in this wint'ry blast
and to get all wet.
...

Birds are downy fliers,
enhancing our desires.

Birds are chirping singers
...

Flashing through the darkened sky,
lightning bolt explodes.
We await with bated breath
as mighty thunder bodes.
...

My cottage in the piney wood,
more than a home to me,
something that is plain and good,
sits in a great oak's lee.
...

The Best Poem Of Terry Hoffman

Harambe

Harambe, he enjoyed his life,
had nothing much to do.
He sat around and ate all day
in the Cincinnati Zoo.

Born in Texas in ninety-nine,
to Ohio then he went.
He only lived there sixteen months,
before his life was spent.

He was a massive silver back,
largest gorillas known.
He led and supervised his troop
like a king upon a throne.

Was destined to become a dad
when he had grown some more.
Mara and Chewie were his girls;
both of them he did adore.

One day there was a little boy,
who tried to get quite near.
He fell into Harambe's cage
and the folks began to fear.

He tried to save the boy that day.
Confused with all the din,
perhaps he was somewhat too rough
and thought that the boy was kin.

That little boy was standing there
when they shot Harambe dead.
He knew not what was happening,
he was not feeling dread.

The moral of this sad, sad tale
is don't get in a cage,
neither man nor 'savage' beast,
you'll both feel mankind's rage.
