Shepherds Poems - Poems about Shepherds

How Now Slough

Although
it’s a hard row to hoe
a rough furrow to harrow
and a tough trench to plough
there’s many a meadow to mow
I hereby avow
and tho' it may be news to you
farmers have the need
to sow their seeds
where milkmaids milk the cows
swineherds feed their sows
and shepherds have their pie
and eat it too
in Slough now

Shepherds

The treasurer they called Judas,
In his folly and imprudence,
Sold his Master for silver’s stock;
The shepherd who betrayed the flock.

The fisherman they called Peter,
Tasked to build the Church and lead her,
To be her foundational rock;
The shepherd who cares for the flock.

The scholar widely known as Saul
Adopted the new name of Paul;
He saw the light on one

GAMBOLLING WITH THE SHEPHERDs CROOK

Gambolling along as ewe do, happy and carefree.
Ewe’d do it all over again, in the greening esprit.

Gambolling in full wool, unaware of morrow’s snip.
Ewe see only what is in fashion, not the future clip.

Gambolling with the Shepherd’s crook, behaving baa-dly.
Ewe do you, follow the sheepish crowd gladly.

Gambolling off a cliff, unless the one snatched from

Shepherds Of The Plane

Humanity still struggles to comprehend
That all life on earth is for us to tend
We must cease our pillaging of this great land
Instead, care for all life as it was planned
 
We are the shepherds of the plane
Our destructive behaviour is beyond insane
There’s a reason we are the most evolved
Ain’t a problem for us that can’t

Shepherds and Sheep

Loss of faith as time goes by

Heard the call of God on high

Now the truth is chrystal clear

Lies as passed from year to year

Promises of streets of gold

Mansions there are bought and sold

Prophets prey on your desire

Trust their word or pits of fire

Purchase your future casket

Drop your coins in the basket

Selling myths to earn their

The German Shepherds

I don't have a dog
Doesn't mean I don't like a dog
A friend has two
And from the way he walks them through

The Alsatians strut along the street
Black and tan, they look so sweet
The German breeds are more than pets
They saunter along like a branch of cadets

Beautiful souls
Sure of their patrols
Never nervous
And prompt to calls for service


The

German Shepherds Curse

The battle starts everyday
His itch will not go away
Scratch and scratch is all he does
I yell to stop from above

Itching and biting evermore
Skin covered in sores
Itching continuously grows
When it stops nobody knows

As I wish it to stop
Redness, allergies, and hot spots
Going, going, non-stop
Trying to reach the itch up top

Off to the vet we go
Hoping to

The Shepherds Voice

There is a picture in my mind 
Of grazing sheep on a remote hillside 
The shepherd is mindful of his flock 
Guarding each of them with pride 

His watchful eye then detects
One little lamb, - that strays away 
Unaware of intimate danger 
The consequence of being astray 

He ventures into the underbrush 
With a keen

The Innkeeper

(A dramatised imagination from the Bethlehem Inn - https://vimeo.com/657939760 )


OY! ! 

Who is this, 
will not let me lie and have my rest? 
Must I rouse and don again my robe, 
arrange myself, 
and comb my beard 
to show myself at best. 

Just to tell another traveller - 
‘continue on your road. 
No room, no

Shepherds Spy a Star

What kind of star is it? The shepherd child asked his father.
His father stared at the anomoly for a long time.
Strangely, I feel it is a holy star, he told his son.
We need to remember and reflect on it.

Their sheep stopped bleating and began to deeply sleep.
Giving them time to meditate and ponder on the

While Shepherds Washed Their Socks By Night

[Line one is an old schoolboy version of the first
Line of ‘While Shepherds’. I wrote the rest of verse
one based upon it, but was then astounded to
discover ‘my verse one’ word for word identical
online. As such, I must claim this poem as a 
collaberation.]

While shepherds washed their socks by night
And hung them on the line

Announcement to Shepherds
Luke 2:8-20

Luke: “Nearby shepherds were living in the fields,
Guarding their sheep at night. 9 The Lord’s angel,
Stood before them, the Lord’s glory shone [yields],
Around them, and they were terrified [the dell].

10 The angel said, ‘Don’t be afraid! Look! [mind],
I bring good news to you - wonderful, joyous news,
To all people. 11 Your savior

Love Came To Earth

The manger was empty and bare.
But that didn’t matter,
because Love would come there.

Joseph and Mary found it sufficient,
she being full with God’s own son.
Thus in that night came Love omniscient.

An angel told shepherds of the birth.
They journeyed in joy to the place
and saw that Love had come to earth.

Wise men came led by a star’s

Revealed To Shepherds

To certain shepherds under the sky
an angel of the Lord spoke from on high
     “Do not be afraid.
     In a manger displayed
is the babe that God is to magnify.”

“To Bethlehem we must go and view
this babe with Mary and Joseph too.”
