Michael Jackson 
Shunned media interaction--
Timid with gals, he rarely talked
But wowed 'em as he rocked and moonwalked.

Depositoria - Banks

they used to store our funds
fatten ‘em into rotunds
but when interest
got sliced the thinnest
their funds got fat, ours got shunned

Shunned

He thought he’d be the toast of town,
Though most just see him as a clown,
Wasn’t invited to royal wedding ball,
Now not even to McCain’s funeral.

Woke goes broke

A man got shunned from a haven
The host made rules that were craven.
Peers banned his prize joke
for fear of the woke
Proud noses were pecked by his raven.

Premium Member in plain sight

For a week he had feigned being ill
“neath a blanket of leaves he lay still
And just for effect
He shunned circumspect
Playing dead right next to the grill

Sad Endings

Shunned by silence,
no hope at all,
There are no messages--
no texts; no calls.
What saddens most,
in this quiet end,
is I only really ever
wanted to call him Friend.

Animal Instinct

Dogs clearly possess it
Elephants care for young
Foxes protect their young kits
Giraffe’s calves are never shunned

But can they actually embrace them?

Premium Member Taken For Granite

Good ol' dependable, hardworking Janet
Is shunned like a rock from an alien planet
With a heart of pure gold
She's a gem to behold
And will no longer be taken for granite

Premium Member A Lonesome Young Mutt

A lonesome young mutt in Kalamazoo
Was so downcast he kept out of view
Just a schnauzer pug-mix
Shunned by smug pure-bred chicks
He’s found true love with his dear cockapoo

Premium Member A Bright Shiny Quarter

  A bright shiny quarter was rolling its way
    toward a young man with large bills to pay

  The nickel rolled by, ignored and shunned 
    ~ all the young man’s accounts were dunned

Premium Member But Her Bruises Were Green

There was once a hot cutie named Finch
Who was quite a flirtatious young minx
  On St Pat's she shunned green
  And dressed quite libertine
With ambitions of getting a pinch

Secret Or Not

Secret Or Not?
(Snapper) 

I’m hot
Not not. 

Tell all
Sell all. 

But no
Can ho. 

Talked shop
No pop. 

Credence
Sentence. 

Then shunned
Well tonned. 

Oh well
All’s well.

Premium Member Her Choices Her Life

Her life
Was very hard
People shunned her a lot
Her behavior like a puppy
Jumping toward possibility of friends
Turning them off and down quickly
Alarming sensitives
Her choices made
Her life

Neither Friend Nor Foe

There’s a haven beyond
all praise and blame,
where true writing can repose

All time on the run,
consensus lay shunned
—the truth neither friend nor foe

Trust

Transforms the heart to a bigger size,
Raises the stakes in a relationship,
Unseals a new world for someone shunned,
Spurs confidence in the integrity of another,  and
Takes effort for someone hurt in the past.

Giggles Through Time

Laughter has run
Through the hall ways of time
Has been hushed
Has been shushed
Has not been shunned away
Yes Laughter is a language
Every human can speak
From ancient to the modern
No- laughter won’t cease.

Premium Member I speak against'

I speak against those who are manipulating weather
Patterns, for ill purpose especially' this is the preserve of  God alone.' I speak
Confusion to such individually, may they be shunned
To live misrably, and die alone.)

Premium Member The One Shunned

humming honeybees

collect nectar from flowers

shunning one of them

the blooms smile despite sun’s glare 

the one shunned wilts in despair

Too Hot To Handle

There once was a man from Warangal
who stirred up quite a big scandal,
He loved a good girl gone bad
She was the best he yet had,
So was shunned as a hardcore vandal.

Premium Member Half a Loaf

A cup of tea
    half-hot, half-cold
      doesn't sit well with me

  A loaf of bread
    half-dough, half-baked
      instant tummy ache  

  A couple of buns
    one firm and round
      the other



                   shunned

Premium Member Who Cares

If a prisoner gets beaten,
Who cares?
If a mental patient is tortured,
Who cares?
If an antagonist is blackballed,
Who cares?
If a prankster is shunned,
Who cares?
If people like these are mistreated,
Who cares? 
I do.

Of One Family

Did they believe
Their faith alone would not grant 
Certainty in their protection

That they would be 
Cast aside
Debt of imperfection
And disloyalty
Shunned unworthy

For what only 
Amounted to
One mistake

No matter how much
They disagree?

Unseeing Eyes

In numbness I bask

Stripped of joy, stripped of agony

A vessel that’s hollow

Life’s curse, life’s sweet irony

The gods I ask

Cruel, unrelenting

Shunned with silence

Dejected, spiting

The sun sets

Glaring, mocking

Shadows are cast

The world is dying

Virtues spell

My eyes avoid meeting your tongue,
For they abhor the sight of enchanted lung.
My breaths’ casted in hell,
Where I respire amongst broken bells,
My heartbeat enclosed in an abandoned cell.
All to prevent being stung by virtue shunned cause of cursed spell.
