Best Black Sheep Poems

For years I wore
your shame as my own
and lived unknown
in terror of being seen
like a leper
self-quarantined
intrinsically unclean

Your neglect
became to me
my insignificance
undeserving of your glance

Your abuse
became to me
my fault and utter blame
my soiled but rightful name 

Your abandonment
to me
was my unworthiness
unfit and valueless

'Til this layered shame...

Baa Baa Black Sheep
We don't want your wool.

Please sir, Please sir,
I have three bags full.

You are too old.
You are out of date.

But I work hard,
And I'm never late.

You don't have the
Look we're looking for.

That's no reason to
Boot me out the door.

We want new skills
For this...

“Blue Angels, Black Sheep, Monitors and The House of Random Penguins” 

The womb
is scooped like 
an over ripe melon
Time is the incorrigible felon,
the forgotten lost garden explored 
overturned and raked, 
neatly messed, 
in more ways than 1, 
never removed, not yet,
it would be too very...

Pushed aside, location of home obscured, limited by isolation:
drifting aimlessly - subscribing to a voluntary incarceration.

Outcast by an alternative perspective, a differing sense of direction,
through a desire to develop resolutions to numerable imperfections.

Others recede into bad habits - shirking from every challenge,
placing emphasis on ignoring...

Black Sheep 

Her beleaguered parents, had it 
with her.
That daughter and her mouth,
forever causing a mighty stir!
They went to downtown
Chicago,
To see Dr.Zhivago, hoping this 
might quiet her.
But no, in their daughter, it was 
more like an intellectual stir.

She stopped going to Mass
and left the Catholic...

Haven’t you had a look?
I am such a flawed character in your book.
My mind goes mad as I sit and wait
Drowning in all this fragmented hate.
Believing the truth
While accepting these lies
I’m parlayed,
Inside I hide
Inside I’ve died.
Suppressed in this test
Knowing I am nothing like the rest.
Crippled...

Their blisters 
and cracked lips 
can only be imagined; 
in dire thirst 
and wants,
came those starving seasons
to strip them of pride 
and heritage.
Bound in chains 
across storming seas, 
however they survived
in those plantations,

they reaped so dearly
from man’s inhumanity....

He used to follow us to school
He was such a fan!...

"Let us talk alone for our morning meal. I'm not so BahhhD really. We are not the same you and I. We have a commonness between us. Which makes us seem familiar. Are we all sheep like they say we are? If you are so...

I hear the murmurring 
I know they are talking about me
I see the intentional whispers
The subtle avoidance at my presence
Like an outcast leper they walk around
The blatant use of conversation enders
Like " oh theres so and so, i gotta go"
I arrive alone and leave alone.

Jesus frees
If you will believe

Cast away your wondering around in your dark past
Start traveling along His lighted path 
you will see that Jesus frees
If you will believe

I started my journey as a  black sheep in the fold
always rolling in the wrong direction
 So I...

The black sheep finally accepted the fact
While he felt the door close behind him
He learnt to adjust to the vast space outside
The coat of the black sheep shone brightly
The moment he realised his freedom...

‘BLACK SHEEP DRAWBACK’

Discouraged, anxious and unsure—pitch black tarmacs start their war
Petrified, panicked and distressed—uncertainty cracks amidst unwelcomed guests
Dissociated and desensitised a perfect attack—as nervous disposition follows predictable tracks
Another prestigious black tie event—suites and shoes will seldom boycott consents

Perfected flair keeping companies in the black—elegantly formal...

Big bad black sheep, 
Have you any wool?
Yes, it’s mine,
I’m gonna keep it all.
Stay away from me, 
If you don’t want to be harmed;
I’m not going quietly,
I’m ready, 
And I’m Armed!...

Spindly stretching brambles rebel from main form
    Amused bending stems eject spikes of rhino horn
    Thorns barely a repellent for birds resourceful
    Tweezer glowing twilight globe, a bitter morsel


    Fresh field alien green...
