Yells Poems

When the Boss Yells, I Want To Dance

Sharp voices fade
when I close my eyes
so many dreams lie inside
he can’t see.

He can’t see
lingering lines
as they long for paper
and they long to be.

They long to be
poems and stories
and I hear music
and raise my arms.

And raising my arms
I want to swirl around the room
like a summer storm
so free to move

over open prairie land.

My Imagination Yells Write Write

My imagination yells write write write, or paint at least.
She is insistent, and worried, a concerned, noncompliant beast.
We need to do something! She argues. This sleeping is weird.
I have reached a point where slumber is nothing to be feared.

Still, like a three-year-old I do not want to take a nap.
It makes me feel old and

No One Yells Hey Hey Hey

Loading up on the holiday bear with gifts and the sleigh
Christmas elves said “you have to yell out ‘hey hey hey!’”
I thought it was “Snow! Snow! Snow!” the bear stated firmly.
His pants were too tight, and his junk was all squirmy.
“It is ho ho ho!” a voice said above a long white beard.
Now get off

Nells Bells - Saucy

Nell’s Bells
Bren's often to be found around at Nell’s 
Who's bosoms dangle down like big church bells
To peals of delight
They go on all night 
Whilst their neighbours cannot sleep for Nell's Yells.

Santa Yells For Help

Santa Claus goes down the chimney
 and pays the price; he ain't skinny.
 He's tightly wedged down the hole,
          yelling not Ho! Ho! Ho!
 Ouch, that's gonna bruise a kidney!

When Mary Jo Yells Timber

Mary Jo's from the country, a real backwoods lass
Chops wood like a lumberjack they're not in her class 
When Tot yells timber
You'd better be limber
Better run, don't stand there like a silly old ass

Yes Yesterday Yells By the Incomperable Poefree

YES YESTERDAY YELLS
Ah, but that was yesterday
Today God surveyed the universe as it is
             And always was 
and shall always be
seeking beauty beholden to no one the Lord hath created creatively
It was most shapely in form
Far from the norm
Rich in royalty and countenance

As New Year Yells

The people you meet today
Make your tomorrow
By uprooting ailing actions of yesterday
Weed away every seed of sorrow...
Plant light on darkness face.
For fellows to follow
Any time,any place,any race.
You deeds should be diamond to borrow
So your name shall conjure joyful tears
As time travel the of yelling years.
