Best Fallow Poems

My fallow heart which was lay dormant, 
As a pilgrim reef marooned at havens rest, 
Awoken to the sound of a breathing chant
The adrenalin beating hard within my chest.

Breaking out the cold feeling of loneliness, 
Habits clung magnetically like links of chains. 
Rattling fierce as...

In fallow field
   Where corn once grew
I chanced upon
   An old mule shoe
I pondered on
   The many miles
The shoe had plod
   In mulish style

In river bed
   Now dry as bone
I came upon
   A...

A frustrated housewife called Mia
Wore nighties so skimpy and sheer
There’s no roll in the clover
Hubby snored and turned over
His impotence is her greatest fear

Yesterday I saw a pic of actress Mia Farrow and had a bit of fun with the word play with her name

Demons fallow me day and night 
surrounding me their aroows seek me from their demonic bows, 
their blades are sharp and ready ,
their acidic words sear my flesh 
bear to bone and sinew

I fight tht darkness in inside 
trying to find the light; 
it is...

The Lord above will guide you,
lead you were to go in life.
Fallow the road He lays for you, 

but stray away from the street and watch the cars fly by you....

wildflowers brighten
fallow fields on a summer day
while caterpillars 
eat all green leaves along their way.

There are those of us, as one,
who feel greatly the indescribable
feeling
as if to probe the caverns of our non-existence--
the us which cannot be and is not
except in the small hours, the infinity of moments,
stretching beyond our belittled sense with shut, weary eyes
and the inconstant shaping...

On this day, my tears run;
Raining down on fallow ground;
To break up soil;
So that my soul;
My soul be... Unbound;
 once lost now I'm found~ Amen ~

Were ever you go I'll fallow,
What ever you see I'll capture, you don't have to worry I 
won't make a sound,
Crunch after crunch let me fix your heart ,
It was shatter like a chip,
Take your best shot,
I'll land one on your lips,
Let's take this late...

When rhymes forsake me, my pen's then bled dry;
     and eloquent lines rich in metaphor
die before the inkwell's used up, here and by:
     for the once-teeming storehouse reservoirs
of song flee my page, though write in hope I...

Fallow Ground
Written: by Miracle man
September 4, 2021

Lord, In fallow ground we grub and sow,
Concerned for friends who’ve gone astray.
While we may hydrate, you make seed grow,
please help these friends back into your way.

Now feeling deserted, they exist day by day,
avoiding old friendships that once were...

All our folks are fallow 
fields,
yearning each year for 
yields,
our soul and spirits... sow 
seeds
as we decide our daily 
deeds. 

Our course, cause and 
creeds
make beauty to bloom or 
bleed.
The wisdom & words we 
wield,
share shadows or shining 
shield.

We are either wheats or 
weeds,
what we...

Without a shadow's kiss
           How blooms a hidden rose?
Without a storm's embrace 
          How does an oak repose?

In Twilight's waltz, secrets unroll
    the...

The Relevance of Last Winter
David J Walker

The acrid odor of a 
Butane fueled 
        space heater 
Seemed better 
than freezing 
In the sub-frigid air 
of a February 
        prairie

Jeff will be coming tomorrow 
To kick out my crushing sorrow.
I don’t wish to again borrow;
Face anew an Angry Zorro
Or to the Stinking Rich “Hello!”
Mocking tongues to voice “Smart Fellow!”

He’s surfacing tomorrow
To expel the longest sorrow:
From my forehead quit each furrow;
Into shell hardship shall burrow…

Yet,...
