he has a shovel
I see the look
I know my time is close
I write this with shaky hands
my time is up
I will never be found

Whose well to make deeper

A pail and shovel
Bright red
A castle to build
A moat to fill
Seagulls shriek
Crabs scurry
As tidal creep
Threatens the kingdom

Another day like a gerbil on a wheel clip,
Running 'round the house...
Stayin' in the same place
I think I'll go shovel some rain

It was the young man's pleasure
to dig for buried treasure
with shovel in hand
he suddenly planned
to dynamite, just for good measure

Deep Views
shovel, one small hole
rooftop view, ants far below
Forest, giant trees

On a wintry day
The snow fell several hours
Shoveling wasn't easy
I stayed toasty warm
I paid two kids to shovel
And... I gave them hot cocoa!

twin city-house shakes
gouging to prepare for new road
shovel lifts the earth -
in a row with their mother
ducklings waddle past window

Mighty wind blowing
Bringing with him tragedy!
Lines down trees on ground!
Mighty snow falling.
Digging out is hard to do!
Jared shovel that snow!!!!!!!!!

it is my hovel
I have a shovel
but will not use it
for this is my fit
your opinions are great
but you arrived much too late
This is my home
And I have some of my own

I was once pristine
Then my owner gave me work ~
I’m down in the dumps!
Covered in faeces
Just used to shovel horse poop
It’s such a crap job!

There was a man with a shovel
Whose house was a relative hovel
Digs a hole in the floor
Think his dad was a boar
Cos he cant stop sniffing for truffle

Change to winter tires.
Shovel the snow and spread salt.
Stoke up the fire.

Everyday I shovel and rid some rocks
my super looks say this is a crock
he bats at my shovel
again I'm in trouble
thinks I'm stealing poop from his litter box.

The Devil’s apostles with shovel and hoe
Plant their crop of death before Winter’s snow
Fertilizing with bullets row upon rows
A perfect preview of Hell I suppose

Verse
The world has been covered in a blanket of white
The snow so deep there is no car in sight
The shovel should be out to start this fight
Yet I think I would rather sit here and write.

Poetry is not like building a house
One brick at a time
Until you finally complete your plan
Poetry is like digging for treasure
One shovel full at a time
Until you unearth a prize

When you asked me do
I love you, I
smiled and asked you what is love,
and how could I possibly offer it to anyone but you?

The winter crawls upon,
the tuft of wet grass,
wet from the morning dew
As the chill of winter, shivers down,
the coarse chest of tress
Soon rodents shovel holes,
In search of warmth

In all my time as a crane operator
Never dug half a hole, my mind has vacated
Coz every shovel full
A new hole is insured
Got an appointment with my psych, hate waiting

Haikus Set One~
“Grave”
The cold wind chills me,
My frozen bones rattle in
The bitter, cold ground.
“Shovel”
Shovel hits the ground
A sad tear falls from my face.
The ground's recovered.

Blank verse
I miss every bit of my childhood;
memories in a sepulchre
buried too deep to exhume
with my rusty shovel.
should I keep digging
or let those fond
days of old
simply
be?

Excuse me, waiter
I can't be late for --
Er, do you know the blessing
for salad dressing...
OK, then shovel some ice
in my drink
Helps septuagenarians go
clink, clink
