Premium Member All Ass

She's short and squatty, all ass, no body Looks like this one's gonna end up bawdy Out of control The censor patrols Gonna get me unless they're into the hot toddies

Premium Member Kingdom of the Glens

Majestic and tall, This velvet antlered stag king Patrols his realm so With herd so mighty Hinds bow heads as he passes; Newborn calves frolic Highland heather blooms Snow capped mountains, horizon view Kingdom of the glens. http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/scotland.php

Soap

For hygiene no hope,
No recourse to soap,
Cleanliness for rope
Germs no longer grope;
Easy patrols: lope

To those who hate soap
Do you ever cope?
All Catholics Nope!”
For I could tell Pope.

Soap is Next father
Of laundry’s lather
Dwarfed only by surf
But to Dirt still rough

Use it no odour
You’ll smell the other.

Pride of Place - Piano

Four-legged guard patrols the papered wall,
Stood by whispering windowpane wind drawls
She is grand, grandiose hardwood keys small
And all across the lounge room rug, she sprawls.
Four-legged guard waltzes to the evening ball.
She dances in her homestead in A minor calls,
The acoustic pride echoes bold and tall
And the chorus chords charms the hall.

Touch

in the dark I hear the creek
its full
tumbling over rocks I haven't moved
to make way
dark shepherd
steps across the mud
tastes 
and stops
lifts black nose to the air
and half closes his eyes
satisfaction
patrols the yard 
past the fence and raspberries
shining eyes in the dark
from the porch I feel him coming closer
then warm breath and
nose to arm
touch
safe


Premium Member BOUNDARY RIDER

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
not a tenant, but a boundary rider who patrols the fencelines of your bones. it asks: Why stitch yourself to anchors when currents shift beneath the skin? you feel it—yes—when choices narrow to a street less map, no fixed address. then the rider lifts its lantern: all roads remain. walk one.

The Night Peddler

Escaping through a window,
he mounts a silver skeleton.
Flying downhill, dispensing power
through straining ligaments.
His heroic calves squeezing light
into cone-shaped yellow beams
Then uphill, the counter-attack
of implacable night.
The boy speeds through
sleeping streets,
cape flowing, eye-mask
unseen, essential though
for a peddle-powered hero
who patrols
by the glow of a dynamo.

Everyday Noise

White noise echoes equally from wall to painted mural,
dancing like a whimsy wisp of width;
where waters drip and notes all slip,
sound patrols the minute holes that cause acoustic depression;
pizzicato strikes like bikes on blacktop every day,
leaving skids for little kids, loud scats scoop brats away,
with solos soaring boringly and duets dazzling dew,
it’s hard to not hear voices, different choices scream at you.

Barn Owl On a Blood Moon

At harvest time Where a white ghost flies Across a blood red moon Behind the fields the rolling hills Are purple, pink and blue
Over a dreaming wheat field A barn owl patrols Noiselessly it glides Over the golden yellow drifts
Suddenly, it flaps its wings And stares down intently Below on the soil a startled vole Sees a white star fall A squeak and the owl is gone And with it the limp vole.

The Police Radio

The radio cackles in the night
Tasking patrols to domestics, break-ins and a fight
You listen for your call sign 
Whilst the radio continues its grind
Delta 10 a group of youths causing a disturbance
Roger we are on our way our message is sent
Delta 10 we are away 
We talk to the youths and send them on their way
Delta 10 we're resuming youths have been moved on
We are back on the air now
Listening to the police radio for know how.

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
Are very good shepherds
With impulses leading to quests
They checkmate uninvited guests

A Legacy For Life

With noiseless hammer
the Master Carpenter builds
our earthly home.
Our labor there is useless -
we do not rest on His Word.
~~~
With hallowed armor
the Master Sentry patrols
the place where we dwell
Foremost, our nation’s defense
demands a grasp of His Sword.
~~~
With joy, celebrate
the Master Archer’s blessing
of many children.
We do well to set their aim
as straight arrows for His bow.

inspired by Psalm 127
