Rag of Repose

Soft warmth you bestow
Watching the game or a show
Tattered chenille throw

Rag Doll

mentally battered limp and torn,
stuffing ripped out - self esteem gone,
verbally punched my spirit is low,
I.ll stitch myself together and find a new home.

Premium Member Rag Doll

A rag doll was left
Alone in the showcase of
A reknown toy store
Until a day a girl chose
It as its favorite toy

Premium Member Roses Are Red

At first all red
We hit the brakes
Then amber lights
A few mistakes
Green for go
But take it slow

Crazy People Rag

CRAZY PEOPLE RAG

Normal people make me nuts
Crazy people have more guts
Happy people run away
Scaredy people like to stay
When you want a friendly ear
Choose someone with lots of fears

Rag Time Spring

tulips
poke their heads up
breathing fresh spring air
warmer days

birds
sing in unison
welcoming all who hear
spring tune

bright
sun shines on windows
showing winter streaks
rag time

Rag Or Rise, Think Twice

We know about our ancestors
Playing monkey tricks are easy
Some may get fun out of those
But, we have evolved afar
Then, why should we go back to jungle?
Hey, Rising Sun! Enlight, the doomed souls

Premium Member A Mighty Fine Rag

The Wall Street Journal's a mighty fine rag
   Yet its columns can make your spirits sag

Recently, as I was set to retire
   Its advice I read and nearly expired

About whether or not to marry
   Based on tax advantages ~ How scary!

Words Gone Rag a Satire

Words Gone Rag

what a pity
how absurd
college grads have lost their words
latent grammar
dead vocab
grab at every
prep they have

don't know what the trouble is...
at computers they can whiz

don't know what will happen next----
whatever it is
will be found

Premium Member Treated Like a Rag Doll

She was treated like a rag doll
Fought over as if she was inanimate
They argued about who was going to have her

She rolled her eyes
They were both clowns.
She wandered out of their circus

Took off her mask and began taming her own lions
One beast at a time
Never again thinking about the clowns

The Rag Man

I am afaid of the rag ma
He is mean and ugly with coal dust eyes
His mare is riddled with fleas and flies

I will not show him my fear
I am to strong for him
while others run I stand and stare

rag man, rag man go away 
never to return
your not welcome, youre not wanted
You are the substance of nightmares

Premium Member I Am Just a Filthy Rag Clease Me Lord-

"All my good is good Filthy as rags from a sewer But justice my Father gleans From my sins He’s has sent His Son He whom shed His blood Shown us His love His grave has forgiven us My goodness, all of my goodness In not enough It took Our Jesus to die for me on the cross" 9/20/22 Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2022©

Rag Doll

A rag doll...one of dreams
is loved and cherished... 
Yet, what is not seen
is a small tear in the seams

Passing days 
and times of play
drop small grains 
of pain and reveal delay

In loving hands 
days have passed 
more grains drop
becoming part of the past 

This rag doll....once full of dreams
now empty from a small tear 
in the seams, sits lifeless
on the shelf eternally smiling

6 To 8--Rag Doll

Remembrances  tightly sealed in an old 
Victorian trunk, cast off-- how we escaped 
from a voodoo doll needled, chained – its  button eyes 
plucked from a sorceress' wicked incantations,
leaving traces of Grandma’s unknown lunacy—

though we moved away, that ragged hem , torn limbs
of a puppet, still stabs me when full of moon drowns me.

An Old Rag

I kept a little thing
 
In my bag
 
I have no skeleton
 
In my cupboard
 
An old rag
 
That keeps me bored
 
 
 
No matter how flourish
 
They say is your riches
 
Your  little rag memories' inches
 
It makes the old snobbish
 
A sage memories is incomplete
 
Without the record of it
 
 
 
For how long will I keep
 
The pain's memories in steep
 
I stand for long as hope
 
For the unborn down the earth's slope
 
To cope with the tight and slack
 
 Of life's welcome pack.
