Foxed Poems | Examples


Premium MemberOne Pound Fifty

sun tanned unevenly, foxed
grimy fingers caress bruising
pounded by day's narration
churlish in onyx, was its hint
over feathered combs, see, 
of flicked, creased pages
buried, stained words
were never read
while cold rooms grow colder
an author's sweat for nothing
stemmed the reader's keen
though skimmed at best
and your dilated pupils
captured out-of-breath palates
so I travelled second hand
yesterday, for just over a quid

Premium MemberGong of Om

God’s light is real
as is bliss appeal.
Let us return home
to cosmic gong Om.

Betwixt objects sized,
we are hypnotised.
Foxed by illusion,
we’re in delusion.

Gong Om does remind,
we’re not body-mind. 
Let then each heartbeat,
focus on God’s feet.

Here on earth but yet
let us not forget,
we are living light,
that shines within bright.

Within our heart dome,
resounds God’s gong Om,
that when desires stir,
we yet do not err.

Awake or asleep,
we feel bliss mists seep,
deep within our core,
as blessings in-pour.

One with the Om gong,
we amble along
joyful at all times,
heeding God’s love chimes.

Innocent

Short black pants with straggling hair
Holding a glass of beer
Laugh loudly, wrist with grasping 

Squiring and dancing nightlong

Acid house echoed all over 
White shirt foxed a red lips mark
Push desire until maximum peak

Blind choice makes you die

Maps and Roads

London is bewildered by its roads
The Circular, the North,the South,  the Codes
The Morse  and the  Enigma Turing broke
So now we have new bicycles with spokes

Once we had the A to Z  in hand
Turn it upside down and you’ll be grand
New technology has  made  great strides
Carrying us to Eden ,what a ride

The motorways are  empty  for  tonight
God decided  we had too much Light
He  taught the bare cheeked Moon   on Jesus’ mount
To turn the other side when love’s about

I liked to use a compass and a map
But now, my dear,  most everything’s on tap
I crouch  beneath my sister as she drives
In the dark on the M 25

But if it’s closed, we are completely foxed
We left the  old Road Atlas in  a box
Along with all my ex’s underpants
And naturally  his principles of Kant

We may be in Watford  or in Bucks
I  often wonder what will rhyme with luck
We may be near St Alban’s, we can’t see
The car ran up the trunk of this oak tree

We rang 999  and they are here
A fire engine filled  up with Kentish beer
A ladder  for the ladies to climb down
Now they are just women on the town

London won’t exist ,destroyed by cars
Angry men who cannot find a bar

Road Angst

London is bewildered by its roads
The Circular, the North,the South,  the Codes
The Morse  and the  Enigma Turing broke
So now we have new bicycles with spokes

Once we had the A to Z  in hand
Turn it upside down and you'll be grand
New technology has  made  great strides
Carrying us to Eden ,what a ride

The motorways are  empty  for  tonight
God decided  we had too much Light
He  taught the bare cheeked Moon   on Jesus' mount
To turn the other side when love's about

I liked to use a compass and a map
But now, my dear,  most everything's on tap
I crouch  beneath my sister as she drives
In the dark on the  M 25

But if it's closed, we are completely foxed
We left the  old Road Atlas in  a box
Along with all my ex's underpants
And naturally  his principles of Kant

We may be in Watford  or in Bucks
I  often wonder what will rhyme with luck
We may be near St Alban's, we can't see
The car ran up the trunk of this oak tree

We rang 999  and they are here
A fire engine filled  up with Kentish beer
A ladder  for the ladies to climb down
Now they are just women on the town

London won't exist ,destroyed by cars
God himself hates the  North Circular

Premium MemberOut-Foxed By a Mongrel

They said, "his bark is much worse than his bite"
So, I opened  the gate, without fright
But the beast would outwit me !
In the keister, he bit me!!
He will feast on my trousers tonight !

Premium MemberMouse House

who out foxed who?....
    a fox chases field mice
        into the house

mouse invasion....
    Normandy, the cat, smacks lips
      while on night duty

the sound of vagrants....
   two different worlds are living
       just floorboards apart

silence of the lambs....
   scurrying feet on attic floor
       wakes man counting sheep
  
an angry farmwife...
   a carving knife is missing
      from the kitchen drawer

a tail-less mouse....
    angry rodent chases the
        farmer and his wife

three blind-sighted mice
   run up the grandfather clock....
     grandma reads nursery rhymes

new fangled mouse trap
   is set with a piece of cheese...
       dinner was a snap

cow jumps over moon....
   no creatures were stirring
       not even a mouse

I Watch the Hounds...

Having caught the attention of the fowl...
How does one prepare to bring it home...
One would think...this is easy enough...
Due to the fact that man has a canine...
I find this part a bother...
As a farm yard disaster...my job is simple...
One to one...I being a thinking type...
Can and have out foxed...man and his dog...
But I can tell you if others are involved...
Night is my best chance...
Years have past as I have watched the hounds...
I know if the rabbit is in play...like this very day...
The fowl is left alone...
So I wait...for the sound of the horn...
As I have in the past...entered to bring a fowl home...
