Hush commands sooth excited spirits
those prone to vent frustrations
how many times we are told to hush
keep thoughts to ourselves in trust

Sooth spirits wrangled in the tumbler
what would be spirited ends I wonder
hush forgotten babe to sleep
stillness applied to night's weep

hush over land are signs of peace
peace with war is ordered please
how often one is told to simmer down
turn a frown the other way around.

Air raid sirens break a hush
as do dog teams ordered to mush
words of truth dribble from mouth corners
unsilenced are pranks of little jack horner

a good January piece of advice

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

One could think it would all be
that easy...to just give a mother's
hush, with upraised eyebrow...

Oh yes, this...is very good...

I thought little jack horner could be added
to the poem since his theft of a manor deed
was also kept secret or 'hushed' for centuries for most of us....
