Best Shush Poems

Shush, did you hear that?
it is the wail of terminated babies
the cries of soldiers who did not come home
the tears running down mothers cheeks

Shush, did you hear that?
It is the crushing of a child's spirit
the bruises of a beaten wife
the sigh of falling in love

Shush,...

Close Your Eyes
And Hear Me Whispering In The Wind

Sending You Love 
Like Its The Most Fashinable Sin...

Hush now three days yet to past.
My grandmother joy was fulfilled with laughter.
The Christmas spirit was upon us once again.
The tree is surrounded with presents and chorales sing door-to-door.
The occurrence of Christmas would be wonderful.

The cards and letters came in big sacks.
We as adolescents would...

The armada sailed before my 
eyes, crispy autumn leaves in
the evening breeze. Into  the 
mist of the cooling pool, away
on a voyage of serenity
The watching reeds and sedge
wave farewell, the damsel and
the dragonflies in harmony sang 
their goodbyes.
And the evening crept silently
dragging its cloak...

Or enter your well-rhymed haiku

The judges won’t mind
Not that they are really kind or tough
Good rhythm is hard to find
And they never read...

There was a young mother from Maine
Whose children were really a pain.
They cared not a rap
That she needed a nap,
So she drove them all out in the rain.




Written around Deborah Guzzi's poem "Shshshsh ma is Sleeping" for her contest.

Sorry Deborah.  No way would I...

s/he turns to her/his
significant other whilst
sitting amidst others at
some kind of social function
that for all intent & purpose
has absolutely no intent or
purpose, but to only give
grown adults the sense that
there is some meaning in 
life when deep down they 
all know there isn’t---
when s/he turns,...

I caught a quick peek through the Veil
Where angels guide us without fail
I saw my friends
Were bucking trends
Its "human" race Beyond the Pale!...

World keeps to turn on,
we are born and die,
dawn comes as night ends.
death reigns in all spots
of this poor, old land.


Time takes big paces,
we don't learn parts,
in things that change
the world and life


My minds stuck,
hands are tied,
they are quiet


Tell me
what's right

Shush!...

Tom, Dick and Harry all walked in a line
as they wove through the jungle's tall trees,
The sounds from above sent shivers down their spines
but they all felt safe walking in threes.
'Shush...did you hear that?' whispered Tom from the back,
'something snapped in that undergrowth thick',
'Just a...

Shush.... did you hear that?

The sound of the dawn chorus 

The waves breaking gently upon the shore 

The rustle of the wind blowing between the trees

Shush.... did you hear that?

The sound of the earth and nature breathing

The sound of peace resonating

Then children playing happily

Followed by...

If my life I could relive
It would be for the best
Better than it has yet been
As if I was born again

But as my life is not yet done
I will keep following the sun
As after daytime I go to sleep
Trying hard to keep the peace

Then as...

Shush...DIDN'T I TELL YAWL TA BE QUIET

Be quiet, hush now;
Says the Librarian;
Mama says “Shush! Do you want to wake everyone?”
Toddler mocks mama shushes every one else;
What's the rush;
Grandma says you better hush;
Utterance of “shush” the thumps were followed by;
More hushes and shushes and yawl better...
