Shush
Have no desire to be aware of what you schemed to say
The little time that I may have-you shan't steal away.
Though if you seek some company to share a little peace
You’re welcome here any time, though words you must decrease.
Have no longing for yourself to ramble in my ear
Only wish to hear from you straightforward

Kung Fu Shush
I caught a quick peek through the Veil
Where angels guide us without fail
I saw my friends
Were bucking trends
Its "human" race Beyond the Pale!

Shush and Listen
If my life I could relive
It would be for the best
Better than it has yet been
As if I was born again
But as my life is not yet done
I will keep following the sun
As after daytime I go to sleep
Trying hard to keep the peace
Then as daytime creeps ever near
The birdsong sings in my sleepy ears
Then

Shush, Did You Hear That
Shush.... did you hear that?
The sound of the dawn chorus
The waves breaking gently upon the shore
The rustle of the wind blowing between the trees
Shush.... did you hear that?
The sound of the earth and nature breathing
The sound of peace resonating
Then children playing happily
Followed by the laughter echoing happiness
The sounds of prayers by the blessed
Shush....

Shush Did You Hear That
Shush! My dog ears caution me. Did you hear that? I stop sorting coupons, and listen, hard.
My husband is gone, and there are adult footsteps in my house.
Hypervigilant, I hear the fast increased pounding beats of my fearful heart, a ticking clock, and the blower on the air conditioner.
Sh! My imagination cautions me. SH!

Shush Didn'T I Tell Yawl Ta Be Quiet
Shush...DIDN'T I TELL YAWL TA BE QUIET
Be quiet, hush now;
Says the Librarian;
Mama says “Shush! Do you want to wake everyone?”
Toddler mocks mama shushes every one else;
What's the rush;
Grandma says you better hush;
Utterance of “shush” the thumps were followed by;
More hushes and shushes and yawl better B quiet from the aunts';
Gits a switch from out the

Shush Did You Hear That
Tom, Dick and Harry all walked in a line
as they wove through the jungle's tall trees,
The sounds from above sent shivers down their spines
but they all felt safe walking in threes.
'Shush...did you hear that?' whispered Tom from the back,
'something snapped in that undergrowth thick',
'Just a tree' said Harry,'with a branch breaking off '
' Even trees

Shush Did You Hear That
Shush, did you hear that?
it is the wail of terminated babies
the cries of soldiers who did not come home
the tears running down mothers cheeks
Shush, did you hear that?
It is the crushing of a child's spirit
the bruises of a beaten wife
the sigh of falling in love
Shush, did you hear that?
it is the whimper of a hungry

The Honorable Doctor Shush
DR. SHUSH'S POETRY CONTEST
This contest isn’t as easy as it looks
The topic is Dr. Shush, his life and books
Send in your un-rhymed senryu
Or enter your well-rhymed haiku
The judges won’t mind
Not that they are really kind or tough
Good rhythm is hard to find
And they never read your stuff
So let’s keep all this hush
Unless you ride a

Shush of Yuletide Past
Hush now three days yet to past.
My grandmother joy was fulfilled with laughter.
The Christmas spirit was upon us once again.
The tree is surrounded with presents and chorales sing door-to-door.
The occurrence of Christmas would be wonderful.
The cards and letters came in big sacks.
We as adolescents would sneak to read them by ourselves.
The love of Christmas was

peace and quiet tha's all i desire,a village green without a town crier
a tranquil spot a silent idyll,more chance of finding caviar at your local lidl
i get through my door and hope the noise will recede then the kids next door decide to start a stampede
up and down stairs at a thunderous pace,i'm seriously thinking

Shush
World keeps to turn on,
we are born and die,
dawn comes as night ends.
death reigns in all spots
of this poor, old land.
Time takes big paces,
we don't learn parts,
in things that change
the world and life
My minds stuck,
hands are tied,
they are quiet
Tell me
what's right
Shush!

The Shush
s/he turns to her/his
significant other whilst
sitting amidst others at
some kind of social function
that for all intent & purpose
has absolutely no intent or
purpose, but to only give
grown adults the sense that
there is some meaning in
life when deep down they
all know there isn’t---
when s/he turns, s/he makes
a physical movement unique
to the both of them,

Shush
The armada sailed before my
eyes, crispy autumn leaves in
the evening breeze. Into the
mist of the cooling pool, away
on a voyage of serenity
The watching reeds and sedge
wave farewell, the damsel and
the dragonflies in harmony sang
their goodbyes.
And the evening crept silently
dragging its cloak and diamond
skies, over hedge and stile, offers
sleep to this
