Best Shire Poems


Premium Member From the Shire No Fear

David Hurleys run away, he placed a sign just the other day.'
Closed till further notice I've heard.? It's beggars belief upon my word.'
I wonder if his door is round.? Like at bag end? And bolted sound?
He didnt want those visitors sure.' 1 million people, mostly sore.'
Old scomo didn't breath a word.' Or Barnaby or the other nerd.'s.'

Like sauraman their peering out, Australians are rising all about
Their coming in like swarming bees, the junta will be on its knees.'
The henchmen wear the deathmasks still, it's a sign of the sickness on the hill
I can smell it's stench.' There's a sweat of fear, though I'm in the UK it's travelled here
What can be done.? Know its  begun..The unravelling of the number one
The fear of fear.' They fostered here, on captive city (what oversteer) 
i'll bet they sold them noble ideals, they were almost Swiss-Canberrans is this, (for real?)
They're the most jabbed people in Oz I hear.? No flies on them, nor covid drear.?
You can't be sick and dead at once.' Or even be sacked.' It's the covid jab bounce.'
Maybe they're not Australian even? Makes you wonder bout (even stevens)
He might just show, you never can tell, just ask old scomo on the edge of hell?
Good Grahame Hood, and Riccardo Bosi, they've stood it well and gave out plenty
It's pleased I am in both of you, two worthy Aussies, just see thisl° through
I can see you're not in each other's pockets, from different positions you fire some rockets'
And that's to the good.' You and all the rest; you're building an army; best of the best.'
John Larters sound, and Craig Kelly seems too, the Gibson ahead of the other crew.'
Your in my prayers, and in my toil, in the tears I've shed in my blood that's boiled
Keep it good, your cohesion is key' you've lifted my heart a time or three.'
God bless you all just stay the course, I'll cheer you on till my throat is horse 
And then I'll cheer you on some more, one the pilot I prayed for; who came to the fore.'
And a Colonel I spoke of' might one stand?, dear God you heard and that's so grand'
Now stick it to them.. Until they fall.) Our God is leading He's (the all in all)

Cosmic Shire

Like pearls

in the

void.

Consciousness

is rare.

Scouring our

Galactic neighborhood

we find none.

Where is everyone?

Have they

moved on?

Evolved

to a 

different realm?

Have they

died out?

Are they

still primitive?

Are we

the first?

These questions

repeated

trillions of times

in trillions of galaxies.

For now

at least,

ours

is the only

Cosmic Shire

we know.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

Purple Lights Over the Shire

Let's watch purple 
           lights 
              as they pass their
way over the land
    Let's see a purple 
dawn
    Let's move down roads 
as yet unknown 
     to man 
we can dance
upon the moving 
waters
        the sky is 
ominous 
       black riders above 
let's dance down 
        the path of time
We will have
A revelation 
      When we see
the Misty Mountains
    When we watch 
our dawns
         change into 
sparkling elven nights

Song of the Shire

The infant rays of sunlight 
Filtered through the small panes 
Of the sleepy Hobbitons, a wake-up 
Call to the start of the day. 
 
Shire-folks smoked weed 
And Argentine ciphers born of 
The plumes ripples into thin air 
Carrying the dream of the day. 
 
The wild Brandywine in her stately 
Updraft, washes away the suffering 
Of felled logs disturbing her flow 
And dips them straight into the marshland. 
 
The pretty flora of the ancient woodlands 
Stack their dreams in swirling petals of which 
Are later reborn in the night. 
 
The proud Three Shire Oak stands as 
A silent guardian to Whitwell wood 
As woodpeckers prick into the cavernous 
Echoes of his heart to find out his longing. 
 
Remnant of white clouds like ancient 
Ruins wander lonely over the Hills of Evendim 
And reflections of a century’s History float 
In their accord. 
 
Shire! Fill me with your rainbow colors 
And let me dive deep into your essence 
And let me stay drowned in your dreams 
Forever.
