#sheep poems on Hello Poetry

Jeremy Betts 4d

I've run out of sheep to count
Leaving me wide awake through this living nightmare
Sowing a seed of doubt
Is life's refusal to even consider fighting fare
Each step taken while walkin' about
Feeds on the back of my mind, whispering, "do it if you dare"
Fueling despair
Instigating internal warfare
Causing excessive ware and tare
Resulting in a head of hair gone bare
And I'm forced to bite my tongue completely off
To keep from admitting I no longer care

[ A violinist ]

A violinist

lightly strokes the sheep gut with --

tightly stretched horsehair.

We Are Stories Sep 25

vision vision

in my dreams
i think of something green
something 73 degrees
covered in trees;
and i see
white robes
colored skin
men and women
all different languages.

but i don't see
your flag
or your ballot;
i don't see
the words you shared
pastored over peoples
whipped into their ears
with a silver tongue
served on a silver spoon-
i don't see a wolf's wisdom bloom.

all i see
are crooked teeth
swollen eyes
cut up elbows
calloused palm lines
colored skin
men and women
all different languages.
they aren't scribes
and they aren't wise
but they are desperate
to have brand new eyes
to look upon your glory
and to see your radiant mercies.

Sheepish

Little Bo Peep
Has lost her sheep.
The big bad wolf is full
And sleeping on a bed of wool.

NIGHTTIME POETRY!!!

Now you LAY YOURSELF down to SLEEP,
KNOWLEDGE is POWER these LYRICS are DEEP,
CLOSE YOUR EYES and COUNT THOSE SHEEP,
Don't make a SOUND, nor even a PEEP.
Close your eyes and GO TO BED,
Why you STILL UP???
"YOU HEARD WHAT I SAID!!"
If YOU'RE having a RESTLESS NIGHT,
Why don't you just START TO WRITE.
If you had a REALLY ROUGH DAY,
I suggest that YOU SHOULD PRAY,
Consult the LORD, HE'LL SEE YOU THROUGH,
WEARY and TIRED and FEELING SO BLUE,
Get on up, and START TO WRITE,
LIFT YOUR SPIRITS and FEEL DELIGHT
OTHERS, can use some INSPIRING,
WELL, so can you,
MOST DEFINITELY!!!
Rhyming on time LIKE FLOATRY,
LAYING DOWN LINES, have NO WORRIES!!!
A POSTITIVE ASPECT, OH YES INDEED
These line WILL ENCOURAGE,
OH CAN'T YOU SEE!!!
Now, this is my
NIGHTTIME POETRY!!!

Forever counting sheep,
Gotta be up to infinity
I'm sure though,
Any day now,
I'll get to see what my dreams might be

"Commander and Z" By: Z

New Heights
New hires
No Shows
Yes sires
King Earth
Wealth perth
Owner
Commander an Z
Go Sleep
No Zee
Camps Awake
Clapped Cheeks
Grown Cheech

Alley Cat
Roam the Village
Gun safe racked
Us armed
Bullet proof windows
Kevlar vest
Team on my back
Crest on my chest
Central best
Central west
Paint go bang
Whole city gang
385 million arms

For thy Nation
The Greatest
Who Paved it
We crave it
We beg it
We fight it
We grave it
We write it
We wrote it
Dont Quote it
Quote hit
Numbers climbing
Bodies piling
Bible lying
God ******
So tragic
Face traffic

Cult classic

Shhh!!!. ..

Of sheep

Sheep don't know
The meaning of the word
Rules.

They know only the barking of the dog
And the howl of the wolf.

Sheep

We’re all called to be sheep
watching the staff
held by the shepherd
led by his laughs.

We’re all called to be sheep
some lambs, some rams
the flock flows together
bearing God’s brand.

We’re all called to be sheep
some to be shepherds
I’m a little of both
both serving and served.

Credit to Kevin, Stephan and the rest of the meet up at the Hub these past few weeks.
