Best Shuffle Poems

when winter woke and dealt its hand
it froze the heart of cumberland
as icy air dispersed in spades
to twist and cut like razor blades.

small pools of water turned to glass
to shine like diamonds in the grass
while freezing sprays from waterfalls
formed icicles on wet stone walls.

when nature's...

Santa’s helpers, take a break
From the toys they like to make
And just for pure fun's sake
They dance the Santa Shuffle

Rudolph with his nose so bright
Likes to dance all through the night
Dances until the morning light
Doing the Santa Shuffle

Frosty Snowman dons his hat
Often he pops in...

Moonshine, diesel fumes, and chicken wire. 
Laundry hangin’ on the line. 
Bible open to the Book of Job. 
Backyard thick with prickly pine.

Jacket pocket full of Red Man dip. 
Work boots laced with leather thongs.
Wedding portrait on the mantel piece.
Shotgun right where it belongs.

Kettle simmers...

A reindeer dancing’s a funny sight
While doing the Santa Shuffle.

    "THE PUMPKIN SHUFFLE"



MIDNIGHT CHIMES MISTY
PUMPKIN SHUFFLE SWINGS EERIE

VAMPY THIRSTS FOR MARMALADE.


PUMPKINS PINCH MOIST SOIL
OVEN HEAT BEGINS TO BOIL
SCOOPING INSIDES OUT

Georgy ran as Georgy can
Across the hot white shifting sand,
His hot foot shuffle
Caused such a kerfuffle,
Kicking sand up as he ran....

Instead of playing your regular playlist
Just shuffle the playlists one day
And yes, you should not skip, I insist...

What wil happen now?
You will hear your least fav song first
You will be upset, but still you know 
Your favourite songs are also in the list

And so you...

The blind slide of Freudian slips
half and half cut the stack
face up so you can see the words 
you have written on the edges
of my three worded stanzas
an intricate complex this is
One by one right then left
right then left
right then left

A scrambled message
I know the...

found himself doing 
something of a nose hair shuffle,
cause’ when she rolled over & 
looked up lovingly
(ode to early twenty-something bliss),
soaked in her own juices
filling up his present world
with an aura of salaciously 
sensual & succulent saporific scents
sending seductively saltigrade &
sensationally sentient shudders 
speeding throughout...

Shuffle shuffle 
Hands shake as he pulls a stack of papers from his pocket
Shuffle shuffle
He finds a crumpled piece and reads the numbers inscribed
Shuffle shuffle go his feet as he hobbles to a pay phone
Just reaching it and picking up the receiver, is a milestone
Relief...

Golden beams peeking,
songs of blues by the seashore;
Aghast jaws of life 
rebuild an eroded beach;
The solace of the sea stills;

At peace you marvel 
this melody can’t be real;
Nautical backbeat 
a compass for the broken;
Soothing sorrowful band aid;

Lush foam matches drums 
keeping such a sweet shuffle;
Sunshine...

Pleiades Shuffle - S

Sashay down the city street,
Sidewalks dance square sambas,
Sassy solo boogaloos
Swing steps sway then hand jive
Salsa steps won’t shuffle
Street dances stroll and stomp
Stage for cha cha congas
