Shoeless Shermans Shortsighted Tale
Shameless shady shepherd Sherlock shushed shoeless Sherman
so surely shabby sharp-eyes Sheila shellacked sheep-headed Sherlock
Shaken shallow Sharon shadowed shapely shipwrecked Sheila
Shadow-man shilly-shallied, shifting shopworn Sharon’s sheep
Showy Sharon sharpened a shortened sheath, shaving Sherlock
Sherlock shuttled shell shocked Sherman, showing his Shenanigans
Shoddy Sheila shocked Shelly, shaking sheep into Shangri-La.

Shoeless
Choo Choo shoeless one arrives
Running late at half past five
All enamored with the charm
Sweetest smile will disarm
Bent the Word aligned with ICE
Makes it nice to reconcile
Not a place to sit alone
Freaking out don’t spend awhile
Flashing signs ignored by all
Swift the dusky smirk befalls
Soon the person lost inside
Insidious amour taken for a ride
Paid with time, too

Cold and Shoeless
Cold and Shoe less
On the cold and wet pavement.
On a misty and drizzly winter’s morn.
Crossing the intersection in clear view,

Shoeless and Unrestricted
Became a Stribu model barefooted.
One of many but an ordinary person.
Wore a shirt from Walmart.
A denim skorts from Jcp.
My teenage daughter was humiliated.
I felt great, forgot my illness, heartaches.
Stood proud clothe in my brown skin.
Whoever withheld, restricted, am free,
though cancer ravishes, I stripped
for my child who's ashamed,
other

Shoeless Feet
Poem: Shoeless Feet
by: Ken Jordan
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: September 2012
As I stare out
across this land,
my feet are shoeless
upon the earth -
I give much respect
to the sand
for which I stand -
Holy men of God
walked before me
in the light of
Christ
long ago -
Respect this earth,
Toil the earth
and it will bare fruit-
Seed the meadows,
fields, and pastures,
so that the blades
of

Shoeless Joe Jackson
Shoeless Joe an idiot
and still baseball’s patriot
baseball is his passion
he’s not a subtraction
he was pushed out of baseball
for not being smart at all
lacking knowledge is no crime
remove his name from the grime
Joe Jackson placed in shame
he should be Hall of Fame
I’ll say again he did nothing wrong
He played this game of baseball real strong

Running Shoeless
Black cherries
Platonic hearts
Remembering moments from the past
Climbing railings
Watching cars pass
Red, white, green and blue
A picture of a world I once knew.
Loss of breath
Running shoeless
Suffocating smoke filling the air
Angered cries
Too many lives
taken in like a fishing net.
We are only people in the end.

Shoeless Summer
Tiptoeing across the dewy grass
in the fresh and early morn
Cool and wet is the feeling I get
no shoes have I worn
Trudging through scorching sand
to find a place to sit
As I perspire my feet are on fire
my flip flops I did omit
Late evenings on the porch swing
cooler air watching the sun

Shoeless Wanderers of Heaven
N ever again will the Tribes of Israel be the sacrificial lamb of man.
A nnealed in furnaces of man, not in Olam HaEmet by the Almighty in "the World of Truth."
Z ealots rose from the ashes of the ovens and now defend like Sicarii of old.
I srael blooms and grows in the desert, returned by

Shoeless Muse
I have endeavored to retreat behind common experience
Finding salvation far from transcendental
Happily plotting meaning as if some wisdom was
Possessed, only to be shown through the veil of
An incantation that the lines hardly end in the
Most appropriate places, clinging rather to a
Need for old-fashioned sociability
Yet remaining far beneath, crying perhaps too
Loudly for its own sake,
