Best Shy Poems

If guns don’t kill people 
Why are so many people dead
Another moms child 
shot in the head
Blackboards white chalk
splattered in Red
A teacher killed
For something she said
Victim after victim
Demons need to be fed
On violence they’ve been bred

We shouldn’t need
Metal detectors at School
A place of innocence has...

Blades whisper
as I walk the grass
Impatiens blush
Wisteria hides
behind lavender
dreadlocks 
As dawn peeks
above roof tops
a timid breeze
touches my cheek
and May's shy kiss
brushes
my silent lips

You have my voice that sings
My eye’s that love to see
My heart beating when it believes
My hand writing poetry of what should be
My steps walking boldly thinking of thee

My minds consumption of 
vast amounts of time 
My work that tries providing
Any attention that I can...

Sidney sloth was so very very shy
He’d hide in the treetops way up high

Hanging upside down so no one could see
He’d painted his toes red like a ripe cherry

Sidney hid in the tree so silently
High in the branches where no one could see

But soon Sidney...

Such a beautiful, blooming rose,
There is no reason to be shy,
So, why let your petals close,
When the sun is low in the sky.

Daisies and daffodils arrive in spring,
But, roses are rare, delicate flowers,
Brilliant sunsets are also amazing things,
So, why shy away in the midnight hours.

Idle and aimless, living on the dole

Going in circles like fish in a bowl.

Shy Julie - A Punters Nightmare Part 1

They fancied themselves "Gurus of racing", this Ron and his best mate John
So they sat down one day in an easy relaxed way
And mused on the pros and the cons
Of punting and racing, of adrenalin flow chasing
To syndicates,...

I light up every time I see your face.
You're a very special part of me no one can ever replace.
The first time I held you to my chest, so close to my heart.
I knew there'd be a bond that would never fall apart.
I love you...

Coconut shy at Reece Fair...
Auntie Margaret is sure she'll win this time.


A shy goldfish travels home
in ornate container.

It pains me to know that my baby is shy
Afraid to speak up, she lets her tears dry
I’ve been that little girl, mild and meek
Offended, abused, but dare not speak

I grew up ashamed, to be anything less
Or anything more than just like the rest
I hoped...

The shy answer troll in the sycamore tree
Refused to come out for the chickadee.
So we sent our best fairy named sweet pie.
Her wand carved a mark in form of a zee.

Geese overhead flashed a pretty vee.
Sweet pea was the most polite she could be.
She did...

The Retuning Smiles

i see beneath pairs of almond-shaped, green leavess
On white fabric, flowers set with four heart-shaped petals,
The color of sun-kissed blueberries,
Decorating the smocked sundress  of the pig-tailed toddler
.Hanging over the crook of her mother’s arm, and
With her dazzling, black eyes looking all around...

soft skillful mimics

It is perhaps the hurried way I walk,
May be the manner in which I talk,
Or is it the subtle perfume I wear,
That tells a Gynaecologist is near! 

When I park my car, head up stairs,
I see patients sat on waiting chairs,
Smiling women with a hope...

Free from inhibitions
No more shyness to prohibit
The spirit’s intensity 
From bringing extreme
Intimacy

Free from embarrassment 
A shining example of passion
Awakening the power
Of sensuality’s caress across
Hearts

Free from any hang-ups
That might have been reasons
For never letting go and
Allowing abandon to capture
Informality

Free from the rose blush
Of shame, bringing doubts
Reflections...
