Best Yelped Poems
She's broken.
She just wanted her thoughts to be spoken.
For her words to mean something,
For her words to be affecting.
But she feels worthless.
Her dream was to become an actress,
to inspire others ti achieve their dreams,
but she had fallen in the streams.
She lost all of her hope,
having no way to cope.
She wakes up every morning,
ready to start acting.
She puts on her mask,
hoping for someone to ask,
hoping for someone to realize
how long this has been going on, and apologize.
Yet no one seems to care,
she feels like she shouldn't be there.
Since no one seems to notice her,
that is what she has inferred.
But then someone spoke up,
noticed how she was lost like a pup.
So they decided to help,
she first yelped.
For she never knew how to accept,
she only knew she wept.
Later, she saw light,
and shone bright.
She finally saw that she was someone,
not a no one,
but she meant something.
She was finally acknowledging
Her true beauty,
she found her true duty,
to help others,
and make things better.
“Gertrude please, I require your help,
I seem to be a little stuck!”
With whine and twine, Ben yelped.
“Get me out of this pickle, quick. It is a must!”
“What is it Ben, what can I do!?”
Gertrude could see Ben was tangled and mangled,
He was stuck and could not move,
He was stuck and sitting at a funny angle.
Gertrude could see his arms were crossed and so were his legs,
“I would love to get you out of this mess, it’s dreadful.”
“Please. Please. Please!” Ben begged.
“I would you see, but Ben, you are a pretzel!”
Your arm around my throat, Continued to provoke.
Under your sleeve you beat my face,Was strangled by your arm's embrace.
I soon gave up and that was when, you led me to the car,
You bashed my head into the side,then threw the door ajar.
Around my body you had grasped, both my legs and my neck,
Then you threw my weak limp body into the car's back.
As you called my broher out, to help to lock me in,
you forced upon that 12 year old such a filthy sin.
Locking in that dreadful car yourself and my hurt self,
you turned around, continued beating, till I screamed an yelped.
Finally the only thing I knew, just must be done,
I strained to reach and grab my phone, i dialed 911.
He raced us out the neigborhood, to try and get away,
demanding that I give my phone, Dear God, there was no way.
He then pulled out his cell phone, and dialed the same number,
He told them I was killing him, that I would pull him under.
You'd never believe what happened on that dark an dreary day,
Was it I that got in trouble, yes, my father got away.
My dog sometimes has the desire
To lay too close to the fire,
To the warm hearth he succumbs
His favorite spot when winter comes.
One night when tranquility prevailed
An exploding spark got on his tail,
He yelped so loud my canine friend,
I had a hot dog with one burnt end.
There I am cold and wounded lying in the dirt. Bullets flying by my head as I cry out I'm
hurt. Nobody listens to my plea; they are all to busy trying to flee. Lying on the ground
scared and alone l feel like nobody cares and I am on my own. When I joined up I
planned to fight, knowing I’d be battling each day and night. I have made it this far in
the war with just a few more weeks until we settle the score. I want to live to see that
day so my best hope now is just lie here and pray. I don’t know why but my eyes really
itched, that’s when I saw it a five foot ditch. If I wanted to live I would have to crawl
only fifty yards out that was all. My adrenalin was pumping through my veins. I could
feel my emotions going down the drain. That’s when I did it I got up and ran! I ran to
the ditch as fast as I can, I ran I ran with all kinds of pride I felt my fallen brothers
running by my side. It felt like forever but I was finally there, I dove in the ditch and
started to stare. I started to stare at a medic there! I asked him in shock to radio help
but he didn’t speak he just yelped. I grabbed his phone from his pack and called in an
immediate air strike attack. I thanked God that they got my call. They will see a big flash
which will end it all!
Story of a boy.....
I was to go to bed at 8 that night
When there was firing at the door,
Heard mom gasp,"God save my son."
I had no idea of what was in store.
We ran to the basement and shut it tight,
Mom pointed to the passage where dad hauls in wood
Sternly commanded me to go
While still as stone there she stood.
The sinners banged the door hard,
Through the passage there was just room for me to fit
So I sat down and shook my head,
There was no way that on my mother I'd quit.
She looked at me in the eye and gave me a kiss
And said,"Darling please listen to me,
I love you so very much
As fast as you can, do get to daddy."
'I'll get Dad' I thought and started to crawl,
I had to hurry,the door had almost gave way too
Noticed a sharp thing in the way and stopped,
But mom, in haste pushed me through.
I yelped in pain as iron cut my arm,
But what hurt me more was the door falling with a 'thud'.
Scars on my soul left me nightmares for years to come
Mom's cries and final scream echoing as I ran in the mud.
Fifteen years later, in the same but better town,
I show my arm to my wife and say
"If not for these scars I was left with
I would be with mom today."

My Fido was booked into the vets
To remove his ‘love making’ assets
He was due for an op
Where his ‘bits’ got the chop
No puppies; I’d have no regrets
We arrived near the vet’s surgery
Fido yelped that he needed to wee
He heard another dog bark
Then scampered off to the park
And escaped so far away from me
To cut a long story quite short
Young Fido he could not be caught
It can’t be discounted
That doggy he mounted
I’ll admit I was very distraught!
When Fido responded to heel
His fate at the vets I did seal
He’s quickly sedated
(Poor actions berated)
His stitches will dissolve and heal!
When musing, I shouldn’t get mad
His doggy behaviour was bad
Though Fido was ‘dog gone’
His line continues on
Six puppies, look just like their dad!

A steamy summer's love transpired
When fate yelped up a sweet desire
And two hearts fell in love too fast
On a moon lit eve of the past.
The moon was full and shining bright
As I walked the beach one lonely night
And found her there beneath the palms
The goddess Luna offering alms.
We walked awhile, we talked awhile
We found we were quite versatile
As we worked the spell of a kiss
On that wonderful moon kissed tryst.
Well, that was a long time ago
Before she joined the traveling show
But, I will never forget that time
Of a lunar crazed memory sublime.
I won't say what we did that night
Out of courtesy... to be polite
I'll say this, she was quite a sight
One beautiful moon struck delight!
Timothy I. Brumley
‘Waves! Big waves!’ a boy yelled.
Riding hide, the launch heaved and rolled,
engine shattering, its sound changing,
upon salty water we traveled.
‘Waves! Big waves!’ a lady shrieked,
captain’s compass lost unwanted,
passengers screaming, launch was wobbling,
upon salty water we traveled.
‘Waves! Big waves!’ an old man yelped,
brutal waves smashing,
anxious passengers, water overlapping,
upon salty water we traveled.
‘Waves! Big waves!’ we all squealed,
launch’s engine halted,
passengers’ life jackets distributed,
upon salty water we traveled.
‘Waves! Big waves!’ we all prayed,
passengers trembling, wetted and paled,
the launch arrived safe and sound,
upon salty water we traveled.

With all respect to the Beatles classic, behold my Bardish version of 'Yellow Submarine'
O’er the hill whence yelped was I
bode a fellow flote for gain
mark’d we of discourses thence
yonder country of sunken ships
Put to sea beyond yon sun
happenstanced ‘pon waters green
stayed for ’ere neath briny there
within ochre sunken ship
Refrain :
Bide we all neath yon ochre sunken ship
ochre sunken ship, ochre sunken ship
bide we all neath yon ochre sunken ship
ochre sunken ship, ochre sunken ship
‘ere beside stay’d inwards all
and more company ne’er afar
‘ere the Minstrels playeth on
within ochre sunken ship
repeat refrain to fade ...
OLD GREAT GRAND OLYMPIAD Acrostic
Ocean creatures organized overwhelming Olympiad.
Land animals appreciated, approved courtyard.
Dreadful dragons, daredevil dinosaur drunkard.
Great grand gorgeous gone celebration
Rigorous vigorous rattle snake rolled, rang tail- rings.
Elephant arrogant fought haughty hippo, won wrestling.
Aggressive antelope attacked ants, angry ass chased.
Tigers terrified tortoises taking gun, putting paws on triggers.
Grey goat got gold medal galloping on green grass.
Raccoon ragged reindeer ramping running rat race.
All alert expert winners achieved trophies.
Nine naughty notorious narwhales were expelled to neglect rules.
Dear, Donkeys,Dodos, Doves, Ducks were delighted.
Opening orison was displayed by outstanding group of owls.
Lame langur, leopard, lion loitered, leaped on ladder.
Young yeti rode on yellow yak, yawned, yelped.
Mandrill, mammoth, monkey met mouse tickling mermaid.
Peacocks, pigeons, parrots, pelicans proudly participated.
Immodest Incorrigible iguana irritated infant ibex.
Athlete acrobat agitated alligators assembled.
Deaf dumb Dog driving double-decker was declared Champion.

Aunt Marilda’s house and closet were full of felines of all types.
long-haired, short-haired, tabbies, pumas, and mice-hunting snipes.
we knew what we were inheriting when she passed on a rainy day.
who is going to clean out those animals? Asked persnickety aunt Kay.
there were live ones in addition to the ones on the chairs in the kitchen.
my aunt was irritated about her hoarder sister, she could not stop ’n.
six nieces and one nephew were not eager to stay for the show.
there were three living sisters, and they were all “in the know”.
Gladys took the closet, Stephanie and Yvetee cleaned out her stove.
there surely is not a cat inside that! Said my uncle who hid in an alcove.
they are everywhere! Said a niece who had brought along six live traps.
she had already caught sixteen of them and said “maybe this is a wrap!”
Aunt Marilda’s pots and pants, curtains, and shower stall all had cats.
some sat on their plump oversized bottoms; some were chasing rats.
one cat way up high hissed at everyone who came anywhere near.
cat shoes were found in the closet. Steph yelled “Marilda is here!”
we nieces and nephews were not sure exactly what she meant.
until we began smelling cinnamon, cloves, and peppermint.
popular scents of Aunt Marilda, her spirit must be quite near.
uncle yelled at the cat “Marilda, get your petootsie down here!”
Black cat jumped off the counter as if he had fallen from a nest.
Leaped onto Uncle’s shirt and slid down, tearing up his chest.
It’s Marilda all right! Uncle yelped. She always despised me.
His sisters cackled like witches as they drank their orange tea.
—The sense of sound—
He was curious, he opened the door,
he heard a scream, then he yelped.
He suddenly banged the door,
someone cawed from behind the door,
it changed to crackle crackle,
then became an incessant echo.
He again opened the door and heard,
the roomful echo changed to murmuring stream,
then turned into rumbling violin. He whined
for annoying sound, then he whooped, then
he yelled, finally he smiled and yodeled
for his curiosity made him aware of
many different sounds there are
in the behind closed door.
Sing to tune of "Teen Angel" if you are old enough to know that tune!
That fateful night we brought you home,
you looked so sweet and cute,
but when I sat you on my lap,
you pooped on my new suit.
We realized you were still young;
you needed to be trained.
But after months of accidents,
our carpets all were stained.
(Refrain)
Bad doggie, so annoying,
what now - are you destroying?
Are you dead or doing well
and putting someone else through hell?
We hired a professional
to help us deal with you.
But nothing worked, and even worse,
you then began to chew.
Ignoring bones, you chewed our shoes,
our walls, our chairs, the gate!
And so we had to keep you in
a store-bought plastic crate!
(refrain)
Bad doggie, so annoying,
what now - are you destroying?
Are you dead or doing well
and putting someone else through hell?
You yelped and howled inside your cage.
We put you out in back.
But in the yard you barked and barked
like some crazed maniac.
And then you started digging holes.
You dug through dirt and grass.
You got away and then you bit
our neighbor on the ass.
(Refrain)
Bad doggie, so annoying,
what now - are you destroying?
Are you dead or doing well
and putting someone else through hell?
We paid the neighbor's doctor bill
and paid a hefty fine.
But tied up barking in the back,
you made the neighbors whine.
And so we took you to the pound.
The last I heard was that. .
you fled, and while they search for you,
we've gone and bought a cat!
(Refrain)
Bad doggie, so annoying,
what now - are you destroying?
Are you dead or doing well
and putting someone else through hell?
(bad doggie, bad doggie. . . please don't return)
There was a lovely puppy dog
Who loved to play all day
Someone left the door open
Puppy went astray
He found himself in a big big space
With fast things that jumped and skid
Lots of legs on the pavement too
Got frightened so he hid
The sun went down and he was cold
His tummy rolled and rumbled
Wished now he hadn't been bold
“I am sooo scared “ he mumbled
He then heard a voice he knew
So yelped jumping with delight
Saw his master standing there
New everything would be just right
Moral of this story children, is never let go of your folks hands when you are out whether shopping or in a park, unless you are told it is ok to do so. It is a big world and you could get lost so easily.
