Mandy Tams The Golden Girl Poet Couplet

Guns

A gun so nice to hold
Firm grip from one so bold

Shiny bullets fingers do enfold
To only the brave guns are sold

Not only to the brave are coffins sold
Silk lined some are, but still rot and mould 

Not only bought for the unfortunate ill, we’re told
Not a perk for those growing infirm or old

Lives wiped out gone feelings left cold
Guns to the brave are always sold

Coffins the innocents do enfold
Firm to the grip, handles cold

A gun so nice to hold
A body not, I am told.

Andrea Dietrich January 18, 2013 at 12:01 AM hey, I really like the way this one enfolds and how you formatted it back to smaller lines. Very cool!! an intelligent poem.

Seren Roberts January 17, 2013 at 2:49 AM i made a reply comment in mine Mandy, its not the gun that kills its the finger that pulls the trigger. Nice write hun...Seren

Debra Squyres January 16, 2013 at 10:44 AM What a finish !! You wrapped up the topic so well. I'm still of the thought that guns don't kill, people do. The gun not having a life of it's own, yet held in the wrong hands...it breaths death sadly.
