Best Shoos Poems

He flies far 
Collected Sprig to make a nest 
Wish he could Guard her eggs. 
She flies away 
Leaving their nest. The shower of time 
Washed the abode, 
Made them homeless. 
City-lights eradicate night lull 
City-sounds daunting the eggs.
O Ethnic, keep patience
There will be sunshine
We...

“The Escape”

Like the hidden thorn attached to the rose you give to a friend
When you least expect the pain you feel or the blood leaving your heart
When a special moment in time that has you smiling and happy
Life finds a way to tear your eyes...

Hoo H'hoo's!  Hoo H'hoo's!
My nocturnal catch in the bacyard has been a feast 
One good hold and the rodent is put to rest
With unwarranted suspicion a woman with stick shoos me away
My hoots are ominous she says and disturb her peaceful rest.

Hoo H'hoo's! Hoo...

There's a quaint little cross roads town that nestles in the shadow,
Of majestic Pikes Peak called Punkin Center in eastern Colorado.
The prime business in town is the Punkin Center Tack and Feed Store,
Where farmers and ranchers congregate to shoot the bull and more!

There you'll find...

School time is over
Nothing to cheer
No one at home
Till eve, left alone

Grounds full of houses
None to play around
Virtual world seems so real
Reality is like a Dream

Laptop sits on my Pa's lap
Mama shoos me around
Class work is a chore
Homework is a bore

I can't do what I...

The night- serene and dark,
We lay, mellowed in peace,
How silence would embark,
Down to its utter tease.

As no morning moves,
There’s news I don’t see,
only the outside shoos,
but this, this couldn’t be.

Our little bundle of joy
Is heard of- a distant keep,
I want a toy
To lull me back...

John John is my buddy, special as hell
And to think I was considering saying farewell
He never lets me down
Shoos away my frowns
A special buddy for sure, unparalleled...

Flies buzzing around the glass.
Sweet nectar of warm iced tea.
Summer sun on the porch.
Tanning their pale, winter skin.

Side by side they sit, 
waiting for it to rain.
Discussing the blue overhead,
without so much as a cloud drifting by.

Up the walk they see him.
Muscle bound as can...

He step off the plane, his own plane, twin-engine Learjet,
The rain runs off his flat-brim as he glances up at the sky, the clouds
And with a glance at his wrist watch he follows his escort, ignoring the camera and lightning flashes, 
since he can hardly...

There's a sudden brightness to the dark and dreary sky,
And the icicles drip-drip as they bid the world good-bye.
Sunlight wraps the world in a blanket of pure gold,
As a surge of sudden warmth shoos away the gloomy cold.
Clouds of mist sparkle in a dazzling world...

I am on the phone with Mrs. Kravitz.
You remember her.
Samantha's snoopy neighbor on the TV Show Bewitched.
Oh, you weren't alive in the sixties?
Follow along.
Here is her dialogue.
What is going on?
No telling what this is about.
It is a door to door solicitor, she tells me.
I take...

In Marked Territory

Midnight tightly clasps the darkness,
Like a wounded heart,
In between topaz edges of twilight
 And pastels of first light.

Jealous of its cosmos
Shoos away the master of the day
 Turning the face of the daystar
  To other...

Outlaw

 They jeer at me
They cast me out
They say
I am not of them
For I am different
My skin is different

My people 
Cast me away
Because my skin is fairer

The white man
Shoos me away
Because my skin is darker

They hold back
From me
As if I might 
Have a cold
Because I’m...

"the gentle wind, a sweet and passionate wooer, kisses the blushing leaf."
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Spring arrives upon gentle Zephyr air.
          softly kisses new leaves,
      Whispers greetings for birds to share,

When a new life begins, many come to an end, steps forward on a trecherous path of being, 
sprites of luck light the way, yet impish chatter shoos them away, where is the light during 
the darkest of nights, where is my shadow in the...
