The German Shepherd terrifies me.
More than any animal I see.
So I stay away,
Every single day
In his giant jaws my flesh I see.

spirit’s star blazes
angels slough caste to chorus
tongues of shepherds freeze
pride-twisted scripture withers
born clean is the King of Souls

Stars light
the beckoning dawn
Shepherds sleep
the wolves have gone
Shadows weave
the morning wind
Eyes reopen
—deep within

On this day of joy
to us came a little boy,
wise men from the east
shepherds from their camp site feast.
Oh! And our son named Roy.

Time And Ghostly Shadows
rock fence in decay
lost shepherds and green meadows
old cars on freeways

Shepherds traveled, their only map a star.
The Angels gave a concert from above.
Wise Men came bearing gifts, to the Christ Child.
God's gift to mankind. Born in a manger, sweet gift of Love.

The Wind Shepherds
The winds,
Like shepherds,
Tend Tule fog and dew;
Playmates
Sliding down sunbeams,
Teasing kites,
To leap frog
Over mountains peeking
Into playgrounds
Ever changing.

You fixin' to get CLIPPED (clueless beast!)
Or dismembered for a mutton feast
Make a break from your breeders
Don't follow lyin' leaders!
Or you gonna' get FLEECED (at the least!)

Boundless pastures, velvety green,
Between the forests there;
Sheep and shepherds, gujjars and buffalos,
Present a heaven’s scene:
Scarcely seen—in fog.
Sad soul! How benevolent is life there
And how hard in real.

The wise men came to WORSHIP him.
They worshipped and GAVE to him.
The shepherds came to SEE him.
They saw him and REPORTED what they saw.
Herod attempted to KILL him.
He FAILED in his attempt.

Pregnant Wife
Star born child
Alien visitors behold
Shepherds Crook
Lamb of God
Wisest of Men
Presents for Him.
Then a life of truth
Normal expectant world
Universe unfold
Then they crucified him
And they shouldn't have done that.

At dawn I heard a baby calf moo,
the birth of vernal stock
and ripe spring tract,
where phorbs are sown for hungry mammals,
where pregnant skyline clouds are merely shepherds to those hoofprints on a landscape,
that patch for future issues
to run free

Do They Know It's Christmas
Shepherds from a nearby farm,
heard star sing o'er Bethlehem,
she sang hymns as cops disarm,
three unwise rob an ATM.

(You Can't fool everyone)
1# fooled by the sun leading the perfect crowd, one cow left behind.
2# twisting lines, he shepherds a flock into a dark corner
3# endless buffet in question, his eyes spot a broken artist

The beauty in the sky at night
Is not only a shepherds delight
The amazing scene across the sky
Taking the breath of you and I
Pretty pink reds and gold
The colours change as the clouds unfold
Just like ploughed fields the patterns form
Preparing for a brand new dawn.

Epitaph. Ray Maloney
Alas, poor Ray Maloney, I knew him well.
Raised German Shepherds and then, shot them all to hell.
Played loud Polka music in his backyard.
Carrying a keger, slipped and fatally busted his own petard.

Epitaph
quite unlikely may be the day
when that one meek lamb
shall bravely defend
all the shepherds
from the wolves,
quite unlikely
that day
may
be
so
may
the hour
be at hand
when, stained
yet cleansed by
death, even the rocks
and stones shall hail the
blood of the sacrificial lamb

Bethlehem’s star
luminous cross delicately hung
by cherubs adorning a cold night sky
The warmth of a promise yet to be fulfilled
lured shepherds and wise men alike
to a humble manger
where a Savior drew his first breath
exhaling in the bitter air
of a world He sought to save

All bowed before the newborn
In that stable forlorn
Shepherds and their beasts
And the magi from the east
The noble men of wealth
Concerned about his heath
Gave gifts of myrrh, frankincense and gold
Gifts his tiny hands could not hold
And at the centre of this scene
Slept the young King serene
