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

angels slough caste to chorus
tongues of shepherds freeze
pride-twisted scripture withers

                                  shepherds say lambs gathering

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

Time And Ghostly Shadows

    rock fence in decay
    lost shepherds and green meadows
    old cars on freeways

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.

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.

Starry Night
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
