Short Culling Poems

Have you herd
       What I herd

       He's making a culling

Bruce the golden koi...
the great white shark of the pond

I have lost the edge
no idea or theory as to its dulling
I am on the edge
my sanity has succumbed to culling. 

i am become madness....

Our neighbour believes God has a plan
A cross on your door will save a man
But COVID-19
Has its own routine
Culling the daft as fast as it can...

There was a man you would think absurd
For he whispered every other word
This done by choice
To save his voice
I guess you'd say he was culling the heard!...

From loss, Love’s searching might
Kill doves with pine and spite

I am organised by nature
Everything has a place
I cannot thrive in untidiness
Chaos I will not embrace!

I find culling therapeutic
It clears both home and mind
To function well in life
Disorder I must decline!...

Swift, agile predators, 
sharks patrol coral reefs
swimming silently and
stealthily among the
shadows, they pursue prey,
surgically culling
sick and or injured fish.

I
Neo Soviet sleeper cells lying in wait
Or just crossing the border at varied places
Troop checkpoints or a forest path
Or by HALO jump from a plane
Doing their job changing the landscape
Not chopping down trees
But assassinating those on the list
Culling the ones who were an issue
That Putin wanted dead out of the way...

When youre foiled first time
ply the sirens
on empathetic emergencies
your pain first dawned
like the culling of a bird

When Lions escape from their pit
wearisome statistians ponder
on the risk analysis for folk

When Pythons  spoil your sleep
Slip your dreams
in airy onion bags
lunatic like
apron strings
when things go wrong...

Listen to poem:

a most wretched woman
once befriended me
i quietly held my own
cautiously on my guard
one day pompously
she proclaimed
she was culling
her many 
so called friends
sadly
i never got
to thank her

From a horror film it descended
From Red China where they eat anything
The virus their ing karma
It taught them a lesson and us too
But mostly the Red Chinese
And their rabid Communist red leadership
Culling them all and bringing collapse
Of the biggest state in the world
9/10s died unlike 6/10s elsewhere
It was almost the end of our world
A New Stoneage dawned......

River of currents, culling-hands that steeR
Saguant navigation of bouyant bendS
Carbon fingerprint, ethereal and cosmiC
Runes of bands-shapeshifting acrostic BezieR
Endless coil, kiss of anathema, soiled-absolutE

Fictitious families
Dysfunctional means
Compromised children
Capricious teens

Serrated self-loathing
Culling scarred skin
Dapper diagnoses
Dulling depression’s din

Psychotropic pulses
Sedentary screams 
Subjugated subjects
Catharsis of dreams

Dusk dawning
In convenience’s vanity
Vociferous voices
Pilfering sedated sanity

Slurred smiles
Lithium lies
Hanging from vestiges
Suicide survives...

Thomas Watson works to cure
the diversity of man
with computers to assure
no one takes flight from their plan

as the mesh gets cinched tighter
behind lines then walls of stone,
dooming writer and fighter
to brave barricades alone

while the cabal keeps gaining
freedoms we should be saving.
Brotherly trust drifts; waning
flags are waving, still craving

blood for profit and order
with smiles and needles in hand
to dissolve creed and border
in culling their grand demand....
