Premium Member I know my time is close

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

new soil to disturb

Whose well to make deeper

Premium Member A Pail and Shovel

A pail and shovel
Bright red
A castle to build
A moat to fill

Seagulls shriek
Crabs scurry
As tidal creep
Threatens the kingdom

Premium Member Quarantined

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

Buried Treasure

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

Premium Member My Final Wishes

Don't shovel a clod upon my head
when I'm dead
or put me inside a cardboard cup
when you burn me up.
Get rid of me at last
with a cannon blast.

Premium Member Kids First Jobs

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

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!!!!!!!!!

Premium Member It Is My Hovel

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

What a Boar - Limerick Contest

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

Winter Chores

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

My sweet love, this Valentine's Day, as under the cold snow you lay, while this snow is so deep, with high roses I creep. Next year I'll shovel a pathway !

Dog mess

When someone has taken the trouble
to scrape up dog mess with no shovel
    into a bag that is plastic,
    then park it there as a tactic
means pollution has been redoubled.

Down At the Rock Quarry

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.

Premium Member Poetry

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

I'D Rather Sit Here and Write

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.

Do I Love You

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?
