My Shell

Hide my head,
A rock, so still,
Not moving and scared,

Uncover a paw,
Then another,
Peak out your head,

Look around,
Take in the view,
The shell, once my prison guard, now my  protector

Being as how I am the 4th graders lunch room monitor,
I think I know how a prison guard feels.
A loud noise gets my head up and turned.
When someone stands, I flip my head over there.
I would like to reach for my taser.
Unfortunately, the principal took it away.
Just kidding.

Premium Member we imprison ourselves

we imprison ourselves for years
staying in jobs we no longer care to do
worse yet, some of us stay in jobs we never liked

we abide by rules we do not believe in
wanting to keep the peace
or keep these banal jobs

the most stringent prison guard we will ever have
is our self

Premium Member Not such a talented bard

the jester thought he was a talented bard
his songs were stilted because he tried too hard
he is hilarious said an easy prison guard
his discerning mush brain must have been part lard
much better jokes come from a bubble gum card
this was said by a goof pot named Pard
I rolled my eyes said my cousin Tard

I'll just step very softly, tip toe, on this blank page. My inner critic? fast asleep! Perhaps I'll tap dance, lightly, while he snores. For freedom has a jazz band beat ...soon twirling dizzily... Shhh! The prison guard stirs. 9/27/2019 Yalto Poems Only Contest Emile Pinet, Sponsor

This is in honor of my sister in-law, she use to be a flower child when she was in her teens. She has been a prison guard for almost 16 years and she has never grown out of the era of dress..... ?????

Trapped In Love

You stood before me,
Smile o’ so bright,
The plate of mush you gave me,
I've always feasted at night.

A reached my hand out,
Wishing for just one word,
Yet you whisked away,
Leaving me o' so hurt.

The metal bars I rest within,
The 'love' you so called,
Yet it feels o' so cold,
Even with my burning heart.

Next time you come my way,
I beg you to stay,
As the 'friend' you so called,
I bid you again,
Farewell.

Premium Member Shelly falls in love six times a day

Shelly came running in with her heart on both sleeves
I am in love again! She yelled. Nothing new at Family Reunion McVees.
Shelly is always in love, she can fall in love six times a day.
She is an intense admirer too most men run swiftly away.
She catches some on the fly and hugs them way way too hard.
She has caught a TV repairman, a cowboy and a prison guard.
I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you! She yells to each one.
Being chased by our cousin Shelly is not incredibly fun.
