Christopher Delegans Poet Free verse

Oh Range Sheep

Oh Range Sheep drift in orange haze
Oh Range Sheep stumble through the maze

Oh Range Sheep clap while reason bleeds
Oh Range Sheep batter fractured creeds

Oh Range Man hisses a serpent’s dance
Oh Range Sheep swallow illusion’s trance


Oh Range Sheep crown the fire-haired ghost
Oh Range Sheep howl at wisdom’s roast

Oh Range Sheep repost the storm’s command
Oh Range Sheep march where logic is banned

Oh Range Sheep misread fear as spite
Oh Range Sheep mistake the dark for light


Oh Range Sheep stomp where echoes pray
Oh Range Sheep scrape the truth away

Oh Range Sheep roar as reason dissolves
Oh Range Sheep cheer as the lie revolves

Oh Range Sheep tend to stay in their lanes
Oh Range Sheep chant while the world wanes


Oh Range Sheep cling to the plague of flame
Oh Range Sheep flee the mirror’s blame

Oh Range Sheep vote for shadows’ feast
Oh Range Sheep watch reasoning cease


Oh Range Man pontificates
Oh Range Sheep stagnates

Oh Range Man grins with sin
Oh Range Sheep never win

Gershon Wolf December 28, 2025 at 7:44 PM 'Range Sheep' are going defunct soon if the details in your poem hold. Who will miss them? ~ BBW (Big Bad Wolf) Christopher Delegans December 30, 2025 at 9:44 AM Indeed. They lost their coats and dignity in one clean sweep... Turns out *shear* pressure makes a flock feel exposed. Thank you for reading and taking time to comment, Gershon. Always an honor when you share your thoughts.
