Sherman Peebody Poems

Heavy is this shroud of guilt...
Worn all my life.
Fringed in promise unfulfilled,
Of patchwork knit contrite...
...

Of late I have not been around,
Stopped receiving mail.
Canceled all appearances,
Planned no moving sale.
...

Mom! I want to go with you!
Please! Don't leave me here!
At home alone with brothers grim,
They stab me with their jeer...
...

Mom had dropped us in a rush,
We'd risen late from bed.
Another day in Catholic school,
That place of fear and dread.
...

Emotion is a telephone,
That rings incessantly.
Emotion is a person who,
Calls to speak with me.
...

7.

I am immersed in life accursed,
As though a rhyme without a verse.

I am a ship in torrent gale,
...

There was a time not long ago,
I was everything to everyone.
But guilt and shame have taken toll,
I long to be nothing to no one.
...

Been too long a burden,
On my family.
Lost my sense of purpose,
Got no place to be.
...

"Children laugh and carry on,
As children often do.
But I rule with iron fist,
And tolerate no fool."
...

The Best Poem Of Sherman Peebody

Fabric Of Life

Heavy is this shroud of guilt...
Worn all my life.
Fringed in promise unfulfilled,
Of patchwork knit contrite...

From whence it came I know not,
Though doubtless from my youth.
Imbued by those cut of the cloth,
Whose fearsome God is myth.

Endless, twisting strand of shame,
You gather this motif.
T'is the thread which binds the seam,
This woven quilt of grief.

Sherman Peebody Quotes

To all those who have tried to rescue me from myself; Your kindness, patience and perseverance was most sincerely appreciated.

'Remember Well' By J.J. Schuler Remember well to think ahead, Always be good planners. Remember well your self-respect, And your goodly manners. Remember well to watch and learn, And assist in doing. Remember well to exchange thoughts, When ideas are brewing. Remember well a friend likes you For whom you really are, Remember well that friendship is, Not just a fancy car. Remember well good work ethics, Be worth more than your pay. Remember well, a door mat gets, Stepped on ev'ry day. Remember well the people met, In all your daily dealings. Remember well, they're human too, And they have hearts and feelings. Remember well to pass along, Good knowledge and the truth. Remember well your obligation, To up and coming youth. Remember well to call your mom, So, she knows your OK. Remember well, it's not all work, So, take some time to play. Remember well your values, And your moral obligation. Remember well all those who gave, Their lives to free our nation. Remember well the things that count, And some we hold traditional. Remember well our love for you, Is always unconditional.
