Best Ba Poems

Watery eyed thoughts came,
Zap! Pow!  a short circuited brain.
Inward turned burned ocular pain,
too many thoughts to restrain 
I’m a cheap sheep making my mistakes again.
Smell my seared wool going down the drain.
Ba, ba, blackishly wishing I was right as rain.

Words accessed by my fingertips

He knitted her a Sheepish Grin,
tried to pull the wool over her eyes.
The stylish wolf, wearing Sheep's clothing,
virgin wool was his ultimate prize!
But the sheep she was too clever and wise!


For C.T.'s Wool Contest

What I have made of the wool is a story, I hope...

Minions,
           determine little creatures
In the wide screen
That stir lots of trouble with their funny little slurs
Don’t know if they are his or hers
They look like yellow Hot Tamales jelly beans
Wearing little blue bebe overalls

Puso ko'y doble - kara nang mahalin kita
natutong umasam, magtiwala sa tamis ng iyong pagsinta, 
subalit nabahiran ng pangamba at kawalang pag-asa
nang ako'y umibig, puso ko'y nahati sa dalawa! 

Puso ko'y doble - kara kapag nakikita kita, sinta
lumulukso ang puso, ngumingiti't masaya, 
ngunit kapagdaka'y nababalot...

I do feel the presence of God,
As I feel the presence of my mother,
Like God she is still a faith, a force.
She is a god personified.
Wherever I go whatever I do,
I feel all of her.
She is beyond god-
Indian philosophy calls it Dwait.
If seeing is believing

Ba-ba

They called him ba and sometimes ba,
The bubba Heenie one,
Caught with a sheep in his ute to keep,
The owner caught him some,
No chops for ba-ba, none

Bells boxing tent saw him fight,
Big bugger thumped someone,
He raised his arms, he won the right,
His pants fell down, dum...

Your chlorinated water comes through colluded rusted pipes ;
your city taxes you to clean it up;
 your house is torn down so they can build a strip mall;
 they ridicule you and at the school of your child the gym teacher tells you that your...

Poor Ba-ba Sheep

Oh the new year resolution,
That us weak brained types can’t keep:}
To think for ourselves hereafter,
Not be brainwashed like Bo Peep,
Ba ba poor bloody sheep,

Intelligence is subtle,
The thoughts upon ya creep,
I hate to burst ya bubble,
But the rich want to work you cheap,
Ba ba...

Bakit nga ba, sinta, ako’y iniwan mo?
o kay lupit naman ng puso mo, hirang.

Magagawa mo bang limutin ang lahat?
araw na nagdaan sa ating dalawa.

Darating din ang araw ika’y malulumbay,
luha sa iyong mata’y tutulo rin.

Init ng pag-ibig ko ay hahanapin mo,
at maiisip mo ang nawala sa...

When he first came around,
 nothing touched the ground.

Now seventeen years later,
 my husband is one hundred
pounds fatter.

 I never dreamed it would
end like this,
 in the beginning all i saw
was pure bliss.

 These days it's lot's 
of appointments,
 not to mention all the
smelly ointments.

Walking down the street,
My anger is boiling,
Put my headphones on,
“I live a Looonely Avenuuee, aaw yes sir” I start to sing

“Cupid, draw back your bow,”
Happiness speeds up the blood in my flow
“Loose yourself in the moment you own it..”
Boys on the basketball court are playing...

So I'm driving down the road the other night
grooving to some phish and I'm feeling alright
Moon on the horizion it's mighty full
clouds rolling what a splendid splendid view

I said ba di da u day

I feel high from that melodie
so sweet now and fully composed
Maybe its...

Come soon, at the end of this year,
the new one will follow- with drear
for promises to
change things I will do;
resolve to step up brings on fear!

It seems this is doomed to work out!
I make my list- then, with no doubt
a month may go by
with changes,...

Egyptian artifacts intrigue,
Museum quality so fine
Imagination they besiege,
Sagely seasoned like the best wine,
 
They fill my heart with love and awe,
Egyptian artifacts so fine,
Love soul stories of ba and ka,
Often inspires me and mine,
 
Soul-deep into a tomb or mine,
Wishing I could go on a...
