Clyde

there once was a dog named clyde
his owner did take him to ride
on arrival I swear
they sheared all of his hair
now all that he wants, is to hide

Sheared

Sheepherder Larson married a shrew
which was an ignorant thing to do.
Seldom did he get his way
except that there came a day
he found a farmer needing a ewe.

Premium Member Layered Pain

Deep tunnel of wound gripping
bored deep in sensual strata
surface sheared in excruciating trauma,
sink to petrified depth of unfeeling...stillness
at benumbed bottom of layered pain...placid.

Pruned

There is not long before the severing of all.
Sheared off in bloom the rose will fall,
Crushed underfoot, on life’s stone walk.

The moments left to bloom are prized ones still,
Split-second, flowering!—until
Black snipping scissors clip life’s stalk.

Premium Member Depth of Unfeeling

Deep tunnel of turmoil winding
  bores deep within the sensual strata 
    surface sheared in excruciating trauma 
      sinks to benumbed depth of unfeeling...
        seamless stillness.

Premium Member Unfeeling

Desolate tunnel of wound devouring

Dug deep within the sensual strata

Soul sheared by excruciating shock

Sinks to benumbed depth of unfeeling...

Stillness.

Chilled

Early November and it's cold
 chilled not stirred down to my toes.

Ice crystals raise on the waterfall
 no longer summer's autumn at all.

Yesterday green and flower appeared
 today wind and frost it sheared.

What will winter have for us in store
 as November takes on wintry roar?

Premium Member You Look Scary

One old barber who confesses he's weird
Persuades his clients to cut off their beards --
   Quoth he, "You look scary!"
   Razors them un-hairy -- 
Screams they're even scarier fully sheared

Premium Member Not the least bit frantic

  
     A stranger among reams of proposals
       the original thought bided its time

    Counting sheep while very much awake
       the sheep eventually sheared

    As the thought turned inward
       not the least bit frantic

    In search of meaning 
       where none might be found

Premium Member Depth of Unfeeling

Deep tunnel of wound gripping

bored deep within sensual strata,

surface sheared in excruciating trauma,

sinks to benumbed depth of unfeeling...stillness.

Premium Member Tolerant Unfeeling

In endless dark tunnel, 
winding incisive anguish
delves deep tireless through 
insensate sensual strata. 

Visual surface of being sheared 
to shards by excruciating trauma, 
sinks to benumbed depth 
of tolerant unfeeling... 
        
seamless stillness.

Premium Member Bits and Bytes

life drain that needs a new installment
over flow, the curvaceous wash of social media
privacy perishable, burden of risk
tech gadgetry, finger punched detachment
tangle of cyber speak, sheared discourse
movement pitched in Tik Tok rhythm
always another world to screen into
change that covers me like mud

Tea Spiders

I hear snapping jaws of intolerance
and hatred, dripping with bile of
irrational anger: stoked, stroked, fired
by pseudojournalists and narrow-minded
commentators spinning fabrications
like deadly spiders in darkened holes,
each web of deceit mending the false
strands, repeatedly sheared by truth,
how dare they take the sacred name
of painted Patriots protesting.

ROSE BLACK

ROSE BLACK

Passing here 
I chanced a rose
Sadly stilled
Her will to grow
Her petals feared
The touch of those
Who wanted more
Than She could show
She shunned the Sun
Bowed Her head
Her thorns warned
A scratch of red
She'd not be sheared
For bouquets thrown
Braided wreaths
The honored dead
She wanted life
As She so chose
To love and grieve
Black 
As a rose

Premium Member Musk On the Mountains of Mars

There once was a fellow named Musk.
Who bought a blue bird out of love,
He fed it the First Amendment.
The greenies condemned him to death.
Turning blue when they swallowed his tusk-

They flashed the dog-eared race card
To blot out the man of the stars. 
For they fancy only obedient sheep
sheared sheep to pad the globalist dream
They'll drive Musk into the mountains of Mars-

Mournful Dirge

Why have you disappeared?
It's like all of my limbs have been sheared.
The world has now fallen away
And I let out a pitiful bay
The pain is like no other
And my mind threatens to smother

The world moves on without delay
As if you were not mislaid today
Many move on without a second thought
While I am fraught and distraught
I am nothing but a mourning dove
And I wish to be with you, my love

Wool

The wool of our souls not
weary with days, it warms 
us amidst our well, worn ways.
To cleanse and be cleansed 
from all grief and be sheared 
and cut with natural beauty. 
Brushed by fate and time, 
our fabric covered with folds
and tears of warmer days. 
Tough and strong, not easily 
torn, we keep our honor safe
from that which deflects our 
ways. The soul of dawn safely 
suns us and with the herd 
we are forever content.

On Joe Show Party For Biden Throw

had heard on Joe Show
what occurred a month ago
party for Biden throw

give Biden a break
he caught a fish in big lake
then would shake and bake

Biden wide awake
through bills had started to rake
started an earthquake

for God and His sake
what we would do is to make
Biden take a break

was insidious
perturbing and pretentious
also hideous

what he had was weird
a bright and brilliant beard
disappeared when sheared

Confused Loyalty

Confused loyalty


1940 German occupation
British planes
On the night sky
To find the U. boat base
They didn`t
But dropped their bombs anyway 
Puny bombs
Burning buildings
Dead civilians
I was sent to a farm
Near a German base
Soldiers became my friends
As the war ended
I was home again
 In time to see
Women dragged out
 Of their houses
Had their heads sheared
Confusion for a boy
The soldiers were my friends 
But enemy of
The Country

Paris

We went together, slept in Paris together
walked for hours hand in hand
neither of us in love
not with Paris or each other.

It was a kind of freedom
from unhinged ring-binder thoughts,
history came to us to die.

Our eyes sheared away
seeing only child-selves,
we were let loose to be
the sights we saw.

When the train stopped
everyone got off
to travel on,

we stayed in the station
sitting on a platform bench
watching the dust
on the softly singing rails.

Premium Member Endless Madness

Our people respect Navy Seals
Their stealth earned applause 
and great squeals
Yet nervous most wait
As from this fateful date
There's fear of Bin Laden's 
ideals

The rabble's reaction was q*eer
To some of us it does appear
That no one has learned
What it means to be burned
And how from this nonsense to 
steer

He'd not have his calendar 
cleared
He died before dying his beard
His head sheared with lead
Won't taste breakfast in bed
Osama won't see his death 
cheered

Where we left

The place you left, it’s shrouded with leaves now
Hasn’t got a touch of my skin since
For my heart, it never did allow
Turned many times, in case you mirrored 
Found it lonely, just like I feared
And it’s been ages, soon will be a memorial
But who remembers things that in a week got sheared
‘I do', said my core
Thus swept away, far from shore
Mud covered the unhealed
Silt made it strong, like a rock peel
Still a question lingers…
My dear, was I right when I thought you did feel?
