Best Shacked Poems

This is about me, so completely unique, and yet so much the same.
No that's not me, that's the beloved youngest member of our family , Brix!!!  

To name four things about me:
NOW: I am slow and slightly dim-witted.
THEN: I was fast thinking, a workaholic...

As I pull weeds from cracks in sidewalks
Yout sit on top of thrones made of solid gold
And I pay no mind to the women around me,
Only to your beauty do I hold an Ode.

I see my fair Spanish lady
my daring, sweet rose with thorns,
That run...

Our awards night, my corporate boss thought this up
with fine dining, much cash and chairman's gilded cup;
as awardee, they shacked me up in a five-star
in Hongkong where I felt I was some superstar.

After a warm bath, I consulted the mirror,
checked my body for any overlooked...

I never planned on letting you back into my life
but last night 
after I drank enough black label
to float my scars
and let my eyes swim
back into delusion
you kicked in the door to my apartment
with your new boyfriend
that tweaker you shacked up with 
when I left...

I reckon you could rightly say that I am from the old school,
But some of the politically correct stuff today, as a general rule,
Leaves me scratching my skull, baffled and so incredulous,
Groping for the proper words as I try to be cautious and sedulous!

When I...

My heart sinks when someone insults me.
It seems nice when someone flirts me
But sometimes when dirty hands touched me, 
Not my body also my soul shacked me.
Thousands live quietly why it reactioned me....

I have been at a loss for cumbersome syllables
And dislocated octaves,
Which tumble in lazy metaphors from lips
Smeared with cheap makeup in declarative shades
Of fire engine spectacles, muddy rouge,
Polluted sunset pink,
To mask a cadaver's stitches, preventing
My Heart's restless peaks from bursting forth
Into senselessness.

Where have cognitive examinations...

There was an old Santa from Limerick
Who became so odd as a maverick
He drove all his reindeer insane
When they showered him with methane
And lived the rest of his life choleric.

He was nominated Santa once more
When the weatherman forecast rain to pour
But his reindeer had all...

I do it for the boys, the girls, men, the women,
plus Allah's unborn children look how I'm living
it's similar to, your situation no money making,
just chips and egg crates in front the Playstation.
Cable's late again my real friends know my struggle,
a rough 9 to 5...

At first it appeared nothing was wrong,
But then one cartridge could be seen on the floor
Then more bullets were found scattered nearby
A horde of bullets in a wooden box shacked to the floor.

Through the door you could see a wizened foot,
A body beneath a dirty...

Permissive Path by Rob Barratt 

A permissive path who slept around
Made her bed with common ground

She was quickly impregnated
And subsequently cultivated

She produced a crop of baby corn
But now she’s shacked up …. With a lawn

One day she’ll hit a rocky patch
She’ll go to seed soon,...

I could write of the anger or pain inside,
But I don't feel like paying attention to it this time,
The struggles are real, but so is the love,
And it's always the love that rises above,
Bye, bye, pain, I don't mean to be rude,
I don't live to...

Yesterday, 
When I were coming back,
From local library,
A bell was ringing,
In a church, on a street.

Few minutes were left, 
A prayer was in action.
The old ladies were mentioning,
They had a cold morning,
And checking the heating system. 

When a lady hand shacked me,
She was delighted to...

Thy scalp thoroughly massaged during hair washing, 
after showering (frequently tapping the cold water faucet – 
in an effort to ramp up brisk temperature tolerance), 
an immediate process to shake out matted down hairs 
follows suit. Oft time a healthy clump knots fox trot, 
jitterbug,...
