Short Clean Cut Poems

For Dad I struggled like a slave

Being clean-cut and tight-lipped

I hope he's happy with my grave

Cuz the grass is always clipped...

Clean cut crisp cabbage 
Onion diced quite small. 
Lets get the carrot grated 
Engage the taste buds all. 
Salad cream or mayonnaise 
Lemon juice for zest. 
All on top a baked potato 
What a feast  the best....

What would you say
Would you take it straight away
If it cut you to the craw
Would it be something to think of it some more

Or do you get to a point of view
The it is more than you could take or do
So make a clean cut of these things
And with a clean slate see what tomorrow brings.

Ok, you have some cleaning to do.
Put on the music and dance on through!
You may actually have a little fun.
When you can’t be outside enjoying the sun!
So clean and dance and carry on!
The chores will get done, like a clean cut lawn.
Then, when all is said and done and your beloved comes home,
The rest can be imagined in this poem! :)

I envy you the quick, clean cut,
The cleansing, crimson tide,
And the short-lived burn of hope dashed quickly to the ground. 

No sticky sad goodbyes,
Glancing backwards to and fro,
And heartstrings stretching endlessly with eyes refusing rest.

So pick the flowers fast,
Press them perfect between paper,
And leave love’s sweet aroma to scent the longings of your dreams....

Beings, precious, small, frail, they
walk at a precise pace;
more wary than gaijin with their
large log-like feet,
of the other small precious lives;
the flight of tiny blue and gold faced birds,
the cream dipped moth on an errant breeze.

Close cropped- clean, cut trimmed 
and as clipped as their hedges,
edged like the bamboo fenced trees and lawns ;
the Japanese glide through their Tokyo
as the kanji glides across the page....

walk at a precise pace, more wary, than gaijin* 
with their large log-like feet,
of the other small precious lives,
the flight of tiny, blue and gold-faced, birds,
the cream dipped moth .. on an errant breeze.

Close-cropped, clean-cut, trimmed and clipped as their hedges, 
softly edged like the bamboo fenced trees and lawns;
the Japanese glide through their Tokyo
as the kanji glides across the page....

My wedding day of hallowed rest. My Lord —
not too soon nor too late. My eyes looked up

and danced as He descended and I rose.
Oh look! I smile! O gentle son of God.

The praise of lifted hands - the joy of church.
Forth jubilee good angels longed to see.

The day is here! Clean cut - our groom has come
and we rejoice above the earth so far

from grace. How long despairing chins of hate.
But we adore the groom — we are his bride!

T	Think about the ponytails and clean cut crews
H	He is your main priority, there are books that prove
E	Everyone smokes. It is sophisticated and fancy.

F	Feeling truly patriotic and part of the bigger picture
I	Independent children favor rock and roll.
F	Financial freedom is the key
T	The shiny black and white saddle shoes
I	I know my cigarettes are rolled in my sleeve
E	Everyone can discipline their neighbors’ children
S	Skirts with poodles are the style...

variety of size, limbs
once helpless in the wind,
a haphazard torrent of leaves.
no pleasantries in rescind.

moss, plush with bouncy roots
tripartite surgery of bark,
sans clean cut.
ground level hallmark

apartments, at close inspection,
varmints inhabit an oak.
how do trees survive the dark
when susceptible to croak?

the yard with all its idiosyncrasies,
a social distancing playground
for a curious player of minecraft —
a five year old’s hardly earthbound.
