Best Bring In Poems
A bad break came to my kid brother Curly.
It happened during the filming of “Half Wit’s Holiday”.
A stroke at his age is considered too early.
He will be unable to act they say.
A replacement for Curly is needed right away.
I told them Babe’s condition is temporary.
The studio is auditioning candidates today.
I insisted Curly will be back, you’ll see.
However, our producers said they disagree.
We need a third Stooge immediately.
I mentioned my older brother Shemp as a possibility.
They said Shemp looks too much like me.
I told them to take Shemp now that Curly is gone.
If not, then the Three Stooges will walk on.
Information obtained from the late Moe Howard's autobiography.

Tenebrous shadows flood the night,
as spirits arise from their graves,
the undead swarming spectral trees.
caliginous beings hungering,
nefarious, bits of decaying blight.
Among the mortals they will walk,
stench of putrescence pervades the air.
Maleficent entities invade the minds,
of those in high positions;
dining on human greed and power.
I cast the runes and read the fates
the future’s trapped within the bones;
and through a crystal ball I see
humanity succumbing to these throngs;
dinner for the beasts.

Bring in a mongoose
to kill that predator snake
who ate that poor mouse.
He's small, but vicious.
The snake doesn't have a chance
when the mongoose strikes.
Inspired by a couple of senryu poems submitted by Caren Krutsinger

Make good use of your habitation
Find a quiet place for your salvation
Gather some new inspiration
And get into the writing sensation

Bring in the din of children's cries
the kin of family ties
the chagrin of forgiven woe betides.
Let in the breeze of summer skies
the wherein where laughter resides
the grin of warm welcoming smiles.
Dial in the joys of compromises
that the peacemaker devises
to hide all conflicts with disguises.
Ring in the calls to claim the prizes.
'All In' for all is the call,
which harmonizes.

Sowing seeds of kindness, We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves
– Knowles Shaw (1874)
My mind wanders as we bring in the sheaves.
I dream of pretty dresses with puffed sleeves.
Of pearl white shoes, and jewelry to wear.
Lace gloves and emerald combs for my hair.
A young man to escort me to a fair.
We would hold hands and enjoy fun while there.
He would invite me to a fancy ball.
We would dine and dance right through past night fall.
I know others have dreams almost the same.
We accept our work, in dreams there’s no shame.
I doubt ladies in mansions dream of more.
They don’t think of working or being poor.
A gentle breeze stirs, I wake from my dream.
I see my fine clothes gone, all that did gleam.
The wind stronger blowing hard, tossing leaves.
Hurry, before the storm, bring in the sheaves.

its soon again
old years end
time for new friend
make astop at the ball drop
where lighs blink
and it s not kink
to pop a whip and wine dip
and to sing and bang
this the world share
as the end is near
so help

Please bring in the clowns
bring in the those happy fools
bring in the clowns
bring in the fun times
bring in the witty puns and clever rhymes
I don't want no drama or sadness
I need laughter and happiness
I want people who are zany and screwy
I want people who funny and looney tuney
bring in the clowns
those goofy, carefree clowns
Clowns that can tell a clever joke
not someone who serious and woke
Please, bring in the clowns
Those fun, carefree, happy clowns

bring in the rain
her rocking chair was hushed,
the metric creaking ceased
and sprinkles fell gently
like a supple cotton blanket.
she no longer smiled.
her feeble hands were folded
while a sweet summer breeze
softly kissed her unyielding lips.
persistent raindrops fell
singing a final melody
to the old lady who waited
for the kiss of visiting angels.
her journey now complete,
the fragrance of roses
growing in a parched land
beckoned the angels
to bring in the rain.
