Best Shut Poems

they lurk in corners, safe and dark
until they decide to growl and bark
then point an ugly old crooked finger
spittle drooling on the chin, they linger

arguing any point for arguments sake
no sense do they ever seem to make
they pretend to be a master know-it-all
a braying donkey...

This was accidentally written as a comment to my buddy, Line.
Yes, THAT Line.
The famous Line.
The one who wins all the contests, and 
we all love Line, anyway, I do.
And it's her birthday month!

Come on, Muse.
STICK to the subject.
You know it's bad for us
if they know...

Broken blades for tongues,
a gaping slash where there’s a mouth.
Spewing out whatever phrase,
makes it to their lungs.

Exhale, then inhale,
Cycles of words that none can beat.
Sputtering and gasping gasps,
Let’s sew up that fault with a needle and pin....

Just shut up and read
You know what you say
Can never compare
With what you write…
Shut up and Read

Your written words
Are the power socket
That with wet hands I touch
Electrified to the core
Shut up and Read

The foreplay begins
As your words bring to life
The passion you’ve penned
The melting begins
My...

I have learned over the years
to just shut up and free the peace,
but, some people just keep on talking,
bottle up peace, and free wrath instead....

We need to send a message for Washington to hear
We need to make a statement and make it loud and clear
Leave rigs double parked in every town
Come on truckers. Shut it down
Block the highways. Set your course.
Show our politicians a united force
Politicians! While you're kissing...

I shut down and die each night.
I do not want to entertain anyone.
I do not want to hear my name.
I do not want to fix supper.

I shut down and die each night.
Spending my evening in my zippered zebra pajamas
And fluffy socks that do not have...

It is a situation no one would call bliss.
Fewer things in life are considered bad as this.
When a mother has a loud-screaming kid with her,
it is a pain to my ears, and a big bother.

You know it’s an embarrassing predicament,
when your child is a loud...

On asphalt, wet with blood and sweat (down streets with no address), 
there lay a man, snuffed by the Man and left to evanesce.
The Man then strode along the road and smiled at his success
and, cavalier, he bought a beer, sat down to decompress.

A life...

Hanging by its tail, 
on the limb of the oak tree,

I am looking at the world through closed eyes.
I see all the things that I wish were there.
It would be a world with no widows sighs.
Children would be taught to live without fear.
No profit from the misery of others.
Leader's first rule, "All are fed and...

Turn the bed down
Let your pants drop too
There's so much I want
Want to give to you
Screw the sheets
We can do it here
Just shut up
all I want to hear is
'Jeeeezus baby'
And make you fear
It's gonna be slow, 
You'll beg from inside
I'll take my sweet time
To touch...

Another One Shuts Down (Corona virus version)

Gates and boards and reels of wire
Garbage by the gates
Driveway overgrown with grass
The factory is a state

Security checks once an hour
To make sure all's still locked
Another business shut it's door
the economy was rocked

Another workplace bites the dust
Another one shuts...

The lights came on
But I left my eyes shut
I dont want to leave yet...
