Tuckered and Tucked In-dodoitsu string
tuckered and tucked in with him
ebb and flow of pillow head
personalities have dreams
we walk on the sea
we see no sun, with eyes shut
lily pads and no frog legs
and the sky’s a blinding blue
our feet toss and turn
pebbles rise into the clouds
a curious sight, indeed
even in the darkest night
distressing whale song
whistle salts breeze into face

Tucked In- Covered Tight
summertime has passed
memories are left
of our lovely days
shared with family
special times held dear
grown grands in the pool
great granddaughters too
memories to last
yes, those days flew by
all too soon it came
close the pool- to sleep
tucked in, covered tight
and await next year
when in early June
twill embrace once more
loved ones in my life

Tucked Away
Every morning when I wake
The first thing that I'll do
Is look out of my window
And search the sky for you
I'll do it every day I live
In hopes someday I'll see
My precious little Bluebird
Coming home to me
Way out there from a distance
You'll see my arms stretched wide
To welcome and to catch you
To bring

Every Tunic’s Tucked
EVERY TUNIC’S TUCKED
squeamish that every tunic’s tucked
on one side, lopsided, uncouth
on the page, in the book - why is
every model told to tuck her hand
inside her pocket, jam her socket
into her pants, plunge me into distress.
If they want us to buy online, can’t
we size it up ourselves. I laugh
like crazy…going crazy…the lazy
love to push buttons

Tucked Up In Our Little Corner
We’ve always done for each other what we thought was good and right.
Tucked up in our little corner under the rainy mist of our street light.
Tucked up in our little life where we know that we only have each other when the world chooses us with which to fight.
We found love and peace

Tucked Into His Heart
Across uneven terrain
tightrope-walking
narrow mountain passes
dodging sniper fire
He carries her picture
tucked into his heart
From that wrinkled photo
his thoughts ne'er depart

Tucked Away
Lately, my love, you’ve folded me neatly
into a corner of your consciousness
Tucked away
From the prying eyes of acquaintances
whose tongues stick to the backs of their teeth
Tucked away
As the gift you give me is faceless soundlessness
Because we know that ours is a love best
Tucked away
As you get
when you lay between the hills of

Tucked Away In a Forest
Tucked away in a forest, where treetops did sway
Lived a family pondering why they felt this way,
A miracle was to happen, which was certain to heal,
And their faith to God, was a joy to reveal.
The forest was giving, they lived off the land, ,
Each member of the family, lending a hand
Dad a carpenter, crafted a variety

Tucked In
Before he was born…before his life in this world would begin…inside his mommy’s tummy…he felt safe…secure…tucked in.
When he was just a baby…before his memory in this world would begin…his mom was there to say good night…and safely tuck him in.
When he was just a lad…growing…still small and pale and thin…he remembers all those nights when

All Safe Tucked In and Warm
It came upon a blizzard day
with gloriest rays of old
she stole the Babe
that blessed night,
and wisked Him home away
A pooring girl so sad and torn
she saw Him shivering cold
and from the church she ran
towards her dwelling place
to wrap Him in her

Sonnet 53 'Me Mother Tucked Me In, When I Was Small'
Me Mother tucked me in, when I was small,
And made the nighttime monsters run away,
And kissed my cheek, still, when I’d grown up tall,
And broke me down when I had gone astray.
She gave her love through music, art and books
And loved Truth, only, more than us, I think!
She taught us to be humble, by her

I Keep Her Safely Tucked Away
Childhood truth is tucked away good and hard
Hurting no one but me,
I dare not take her out even for a brief peek
for to look at her would make her real again.
Give her even more power
Which I dare not do
for I have so little left now....
I know not what else she could take from me
She has
