dead silence
in the night
a sheepish moon

So sad your life has been
I can see behind your sheepish grin
Wish I could make you truly happy
Whatever that is….....

Burps are often stifled,
But belches should be loud.
When burping one looks sheepish,
When belching one looks proud....

That sheepish smile
disarming a gruff poet
coyly offer hope

my Bridgewater seraphim
kick back wine like a sailor

 for K.C....

        How do you spell it
        show me those pearly whites
        not a sheepish grin

There’s a ripe, young sun
Swinging the gardens today.

There is a sprightly, young sun
Touring the faces of revelry.

There’s a sheepish, young moon
Carrying the smirk of a virgin
Awaiting her Paul Revere....

In a market outdoors one day, Pam
was caught pilfering using a pram.
Fast away that lass flew
on the back of a ewe.
One might say she was then "on the lamb!"

My Doctor looked quite sheepish for he had bad news to give
He looked me in the eye and said I have two weeks to live
I thought about this long and hard, then told him with a sigh
I'll take a week in April and the other in July...

How much do they know
Who are the blabbers
Who are the rat finks
It is my sister
Could bro be that low?

Is a rumor
A blatant lie
Fabrication
I start to yell

People laugh
Relatives
At outburst

Sheepish
I look
Downward

Sad...

He knitted her a Sheepish Grin,
tried to pull the wool over her eyes.
The stylish wolf, wearing Sheep's clothing,
virgin wool was his ultimate prize!
But the sheep she was too clever and wise!


For C.T.'s Wool Contest

What I have made of the wool is a story, I hope you enjoy it!...

Submerged skin deep
in solace,
you play trickery
in your silent rebellion.
Soil claims sanctuary 
on defiant children
like your veil lingers.
You're still sweet.
Sheepish smile behind war paint,
we're not so different 
you and I.
I too have bled music
during my vow of silence
and given myself up....

When I let one loose in the elevator
I hoped the smell would pass 
But it stopped on six then my boss stepped in 
And my bowels expelled more gas

He sniffed the air not once but twice 
And asked if I smelled stew? 
I answered back with a sheepish grin
I think it's butt Fondue

So vulnerable she seems
How you would love to love her
And that spooks you to no end
Sheepish scared and reticent
Knowing what can’t be undone
Hiding behind desire’s realm
Odds hardly in your favor

In the sheepish year                                                                                                           on earth's colorful long wing                                                                                          the white dew returns...

If the moonless night
slept, sheepish it'd be.
Strange, fresh dude not cool 
chit chat about him
awkward and painful. 

Where is a loo
or rear window 
to crawl out of, 
I'm so tempted.

Bragged he loathed
his girlfriend.
He purred, one

more date.
I said, 

no.

The lovely lady is large, but she still gives me a charge

                Her sheepish eyes gazed my way

                       and it just made my day

             yet , she should know that the wolf in me

                     has been aroused by she!!   AWOO!!!

The silence shushed the baron
claims slipped through the photo door
imagination or intimidation
the silky fox spreads on the floor

Sticky situation 
former lovers of brothels 
and whores
tell me what's in store

Eyes closed to the sheepish grin
Blocked off from her sin

Rape me again and make me feel
Nothing else is real...

today’s sunrise was prettier than all of the others
and I have seen almost thirty-six thousand of them
I know because I calculated how many days I have been alive
thirty-five thousand, nine hundred and seventy-seven sunrises
Wait! A second said a colleague. You watched the sun rise every day?
I am a bit sheepish now. Maybe I have seen twelve sunrises....

and when
bird, black skin
waves hi and grins
and then does it again?
penguin

----------

eye blinks
my instinct
detects distinct
baby sphincter high jinks
end stinks

----------

fruit tree
sin's entry
serpent sentry
promised wisdom plenty ~
empty

----------

sheepish
not finish
and diminish
wooly be bahd punished
by ewe?

Whispers dance inside my head
Reflections glance at a substance dead
Confirmations of my unpoetical pen
Only white spaces mirrored back
No one has a word to say
The mirror tells I should go away
The oceans piers toss me deep
Into contemplation of my rude upkeep
Sheepish sins, bitter gin
The naked truth
No one reads my scribbles doo
Oh how my dribble makes me blue...

An innocent glance
A coy blushing smile
Our words will dance
With shy sheepish style

A very quick look
Soft whispered Hi 
The nerve it took
had to at least try

A very young crush
A puppy kinda love
How youth will rush
As love they think of

An accidental touch
Embarrassed laughter
Thoughts filled with much
Like a happily ever after...

I miss you,
I miss the warmth
In your sheepish eyes,
That unblinking look of holiness

I miss you,
I miss the sparkle
Of that breathtaking smile
That sent my heart racing for miles.

I miss you,
I miss the honesty
On your saintly face
Always promised me an old age of caress.

I miss you,
I miss the oneness
Of our last embrace
How I wish it can resurface.

I miss you,
I miss you
I miss you
Yes, I do...

They conscending us,
but we don't.
They are partial,
but i am not,
Their imperfection is like my perfection.
They shove us
but still stand.
They notice our mistakes
but never notice the agony,sadness or tears.
Some may mock you
Some maybe nostalgic so that you could be sheepish.
When you want to isolate,they gossip.
Life is complicated nothing you do can impress them.
Just hone your skills....

It was my much despised dish
But I ate it with relish,
Because of a granted wish
To be served Mackerel Fish
And treated to a glimpsed quiche
But that was rather childish
To a friend acting British
All of a sudden snobbish
And I hated q wished fish
Like Devout Christians Hashish...

Then, I'd been the quite sheepish:
Unstable Saul Son of Kish
For accepting The Despised
After it was a bit spiced....

Never scorn my pure passion,
for it has no seed of abomination
and I have not made any attempt
to have a taste from another honey well
nor do I  bamboozle you with my glittering sheepish look.
You alone has has been the centre
of this wild fire that burns within.

Now that our love is in bloom
my inner soul feels the thrill
of your tender affection which I cherish,
Oh my love, I yearn for a magical touch from you...
