Best Shirley Poems

releasing me - of minutes, hours, days - of being bored,
as age creeps into my bed, and what is left, is in my head
- providing nourishment for my soul – my spirit being fed
by looking glass images, images that slip through the crack

in my day...

Steal clothed in velvet, her love was strong and sure;
Her touch, soft and warm, held its own allure.
Inspiring all through kind actions to help out anyone;
Recalling the words of her Lord and the examples of His son;
Leading us down the path of Love and service...

the spirit in my head, this my brain is constantly feed,
and in all likelihood, will persist until I am dead.
All possibilities seem to have gone to waste
and that is all these eyes seem to be faced 

with as I ran the race and with many,...

Lady Snow, was belting out – whispering  in my ears
of days winging by – memories , experiences of bygone years.

Shirley, I am ?,

more than the sum of this black, cold stone – believed.
Shirley, there is more to me than I have stated – perceived.
Surely I am more than that ? Shirley, I can be retrieved 
from these thoughts, these memories of, and finally be...

I’ve met a friend on Poetry Soup
Who really tugs at my heart
She is caring , sweet and kind
Her poetry heartfelt , funny and smart

We are very different in age 
But very same in heart
She is such a genuine being
Which I sensed from the start

Flagship Shirley,
Her tea was always curly,
And she ran with Pedicure Pete,
Who sang a little ditty,
And wasn't very pretty,
And painted all the lips upon her feet....

Santa sacked Rudolph and all of his herd
In his new jet pack he flew like a bird
His suit got ignited
And he’s just been sighted
Roasted and naked... then, guess what occurred 

He crash landed, coming down hard
His beard and his dangly bits charred
Giving children a gift
Gave...

Shall I be silent while around me roars
Agony older than the night's darkness
Where wrath against innocency pours
Hunted only for God's milk of blackness

Listen to the baying fox, untethered hate
From primal jaws foaming: the hot chase
To villify, demonize, denounce, denigrate
And eradicate the ***** from honor's place

Shall...

The old school bell would ring out at the start of the day.
Chalk on blackboards, shirts and ties.
The school colours of green and gold.
Crowded classrooms, with very little room.

Lunchtimes were spent in classrooms,small and crampt.
No kitchen, the meals brought in.
Meals served up by Mrs May...

retiring at twenty
they had thought their residuals would have been plenty....

She was very cute with her curly hair and dimples.
The lady who I'm speaking of was Shirley Temple.
She starred in Curly Top and Stand Up And Cheer.
She starred in 60 films during her fabulous career.
It was so sad and tragic when she died in February...

Rocky squirrel flew through the air
Safely landing precisely where
He wished.

Caught glimpse as Shirley squirrel
(Herself in front of car did hurl)
Was nearly squished.

Rocky had warned Shirley before
Admonition Shirley chose to ignore-
Cars can smite

Such events reveal it's not merely heuristic
Fatalities by car is greater statistic
Than fatalities by...

Shirley has a flea circus
She keeps in a bag she bought
She ties the bag shut real well
So escape for them is naught

A rendition of Hamlet 
They would play for all the nerds
All on top of a scrabble board
She calls it, a play on words!

She had...
