digging in the dirt
laying furrows deep only
for sowing wild oats...

There's a place that poets go
    when they must their wild oats sow

  They camp out in front of the TV set
    Are the Three Stooges on the air yet...

You said “I do”
I said it too,
That amazingly magical day,
On a Hawaiian Plateau.

Now that nineteen have come to pass,
I have no more wild oats to sow,
You will be the last lover,
I will ever know....

in the moonlit night
underneath the harvest moon
let's sow some wild oats
a few nights in a row and
reap the fruits of our labor

There are those that seek their own
self-seeking folk - wild oats they've sown
In air afloat they drift aloft
above the masses on breezes tossed
when land they do - great shock received
they find cost heavy o' pride and greed...

Limerick: Once an upset farmer in Xin Jia Po

Once an upset farmer in Xin Jia Po*
Built farms upwards in tiers: O! Vertigo!
Produce diminishing
UFOs pilfering
Now he sows wild oats in Infierno!

If Robert Burns met Patrick Kavanagh
who would smile who would look away
across a field of barley or potatoes
kindred spirits or in each other's way?

The ploughmen poets would adjourn
to the local pub and order single malts
and after a few glasses had been taken
tell tall tales of sowing wild oats....

Prayed for courage

And in return was given porridge

Topped with salt instead of sugar

And water for milk

Cooked in a kitchen of filth

To be eat out of a chipped saucepan

With plastic chopsticks for cutlery

Tracing help into forage ferrell wild oats

The holy father's sins 

Handed down to his children...

There was a raven haired baby
Small for his age and rarely cried
looking out with weak eyes
hoping someone will love me...

A mama not commited to being a mom
Young for  her age of sixteen
Wild oats not yet sown
spaced out on dope most of the time...
Thinks if I just put my hand on his mouth...

Never is too late to help...

"Wild Oats, Steel Cut" 

Words like food
can become an addiction
it’s in the swallowing 
that the story 
consumed like 
some feast
laid out at the 
Hatters Table
poured into 
kidney pans
returns 
steel cut
in our warm
memories
glitching all over
our wild oats
while we 
are stitched up
being fed porridge
and honey

Don't eat the shellfish 
the sea filters through
Every thing is a dichotomy 
they say in the end
This obliqueness 
sows it's wild oats in 
the forest where only
small shreds of light
make their way to the
ground
A starlight is worth a 
multitude of sound,
a one liner, a lyric,
a pun, a religion,
you and me
and all we have on this
Earth
was meant to mean 
good things to some...

DO  is the mixture for my daily bread .

RE  is the beam of sun , on my head .

MI  , well ! I'm Seán and I write the odd poem .

FA..ther ,I am to our house and our home .

SO  as I reap , those wild oats , long ago .

Lá  is the Irish for day , as you know .

TI  is my tipple , last thing at night .

High DO  is the buzz , I get from this site ..

He has a dark sort of charm
He is a bad boy, but he means me no harm
His smile is clever, and a little naughty
But he is sweet and not at all haughty
He has lived a life of adventure and fun
With all his wild oats, he is certainly done
He is a man of romantic passion
He is a lover of all the arts and fine fashion
He will surely take me on one wild ride
And hopefully, it will be safe with "my love" in him to hide...

Apocryphal embellishments of

a non-canonical secret society,

teeming amidst a dubious 

enterprising authenticity, 

exposure's excessed stormy decay of 

  tormented poet's crushing blows,

ego's wild oats fruitlessly sown

rampaged rush to save their own flesh,

poesy's wildflower blooms wilted

under acid rein's torridity of seduction,

hence poetry's infertile demise unto 

dusty shelves' apathetic surrender...

The white charger's belly is bloated with hay
The helmet helm's rusted quite shut
The tack room door hinges are tearing away
The leather's un oiled  and dry
The lance is still good
It is bracing the fence
but  I traded the sword for a pen
I am presently seeking a page
So if you're still waiting
and anticipating 
A Lochinvar ending of sorts
I shall purchase wild oats for the horse
I recall how to sow them of course
With hardly a shred of remorse...

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
Can you feel the adrenaline
'Cause I formally invite you
To my summer night cruise

It is dress to impress
So bloke's put on your coat and vest
And girls slip into your best clothes
as well as your stilettos

We will be rocking the boat
and sowing a few wild oats
From Seven-thirty to midnight
So please be flirty and nice 

There will be great food and drinks
As mister Dj spins and syncs
and lets the vivacious mood sink
On January Nineteenth...
