Best Scouted Poems
The Shoe Store BanteringShe jiggled like pink jello into the store
with platinum blonde hair and red rouge on her face
the shoe clerk mumbled it must be 1950's day
watching her strut around with a hanky made out of lace
She said hi hon you know why I'm here
he replied let...

MOM DAD WAR AND GRACE
Just the very thought of him, like an artist’s stroke of his
Paintbrush, sealed a promise of a lifetime of tomorrows.
I finally had found myself and, knew my purpose in life.
The instant you were within sight, your brass insignia
Flashing and reflecting in the noonday sun,
Your...

The Mysterious Women's RestroomI accidentally stepped into the women's restroom
Turned around to quickly leave
Noticed there was no one there
Then turned back around for a manly peak
What the ladies do in here
Has always been a mystery
So I lurked about and scouted out
To let all the other men know...

You Escaped My DreamsWhere are you now
Why have you escaped my dreams
You’ve been gone awhile and I missed you so
I visited our place every night
I scouted every corner
I stood by and waited out in hope you’d come
I did double rounds just to be sure I...

Trees I Have KnownI loved those trees,
limbs draped in plump wild grapes,
bursting with flavor on my tongue,
while juice stained my fingers.
Tall cottonwoods shadowed
the creek where we splashed—Sis,
brother, and I—and a giant sycamore
shaded Granddad's spring. We slaked
our thirst from the granite dipper
hung on...

Saved By a BuntingNostalgia and I
sat waiting rain and more breeze
my wind chimes all sang.
As I rocked pines swayed
a summer wreath held bird nest
right on my front porch.
The honey inside
I sat alone looking up
At churning dark clouds.
I thought, what strange sight
afternoon turned dark as night
could rain storms...

Kite Flying July 1 79A small advance party scouted the valley high,
The rest,
In a ba,
Massed on the ocean nigh,
Not towering creatures with spindly hairs,
Nor mountains of bellows with rumbles of bears,
But endless splotched
Like cotton from cats,
Plumps and hunky
Like so many rats,
These clouds rolled by
In a playful parade,
Summer chasing Summer,
Turtle...

These Are My MemoriesMemories of leaping sentiments
Have left indelible footprints on
the sandy plantations path
Of destiny juggling with my life
And fortune drifting away
Of a companionship gripping a
relationship
Was it fate spreading it's
tentacles
To fulfil the satanic deeds
And when dawn scouted
around found the bond broken
In the heart...

The Sower
She gathered her seeds
Her seeds of good deeds
It was time to plant again
The season for sowing
She scouted around for good land
Seeds in her hand
She walked in love
In search of good soil
Not too much toil
Very little sweat
She found her land
Good, fertile soil
She planted the seeds
The seeds...

New Brother GoneHello my Bro, it seems long ago
We didn’t know but it started way back when
And now, I sure wish I could see you again
After all those years when our lives were apart
We finally met and were just going to start
A life together with all those...

Foundation Shake DownGround is quaking
Man made walls shaken
Earthly foundation is breaking.
The enemy has planted a mind friend about me
So peace and joy will forsake me,through the personnel mind of fear and regret
I navigate the minefield prayerfully low crowing on my stomach
Probing for minds with the Word...

For Jack SeredynieckiStargazer, stargazer
Bearer of bouquets
Four of stardust
Four the number of times you fussed
Hoping to see cream of the crop.
Pink, yellow, white, and orange stargazer lilies smiled
Your dimpled wife blushed
Step mom, and your auntie-in-law, hushed
Birth mother in her element rocked
You were humbled Prince of Wales with grandmother
You...
