Spade

some fellow the white coats call spade
perceived a great fortune be made
as a new day arose
drew great birds on his toes
escaping  the white coats dismayed

A Spade Ain'T a Spade

I'm truthful, whenever there's trouble.

So to call a spade, a spade, is just rubble!

        Therefore, what I'm about to tell you,

        is honest and true

 I don't call it a spade -  it's a shovel!
Form: Limerick

Call a Spade a Spade

Call a spade a spade 

Take no chance 
Of intimidation 

Except your right 
dont mean nothing 
To you 

So when you are been 
Moved around like 
A sheep 
Stand up for your 
Self and 
Call a spade a spade

Premium Member Sans a Spade

A sizable portion of my life
I've passed, slobbering over
The antagonistic ashes
Of an untruth.

Years down the road,
By accident, I exposed;

Though this untruth,
Was deeply entombed in my psyche,
Via a mental backhoe,
Satan periodically excavates it
Sans a spade.

Grave Digger With Wounds and Co Digger

“Please, Sam stop!”
“Why? Stan, Nope”
“Yes, Sam Stop”
“And just mope?”
“Your shovel drop”
“You can’t cope?”
“Soon shall hop” 
“Means: no hope!”
“Means: You Look”
“A wound-Gosh!”
“Marks just took”
“All for dosh…”

“Now, I bleed”
“The grave feed
“Bad Grave - sure
“And wage poor,”

“Me God save”
“Every slave”

Half a Soul

There was a house.
There is a house.

There was a kite.
There is a kite.

There was a clock.
There is a clock.

When I
dig the earth
with a spade,

the earth falls into
the spade’s memoir.

The spade falls into
the earth’s memoir.

In the pond nearby,
a blue water-lily

does not fall
into anything.

It
calls out to the kingfishers,

saying,

Come,
have some fish and go.
