Best Ambush Poems

I walked with ease
a comfortable moment after sunset,
I wore clean, comfortable skin
and comfortable, casual attire.
Past glowing shopfronts
on clean, wide pavements,
warm evening slowly darkened,
a good time would be had by all.
I don't care much for the parties,
but good company is good,
just as good as a good...

sea lions crying loud

AMBUSH

Hidden predator,
Waits patiently for it's prey.
Survival to the swift.

Haiku is an unrhymed Japanese style poem recording the...

Ambush

There's a lovely tropic island at the bottom of the map, 
It's a paradise on earth except for one small handicap; 
We have wallabies and kangaroos to only name a few, 
And a gentler crowd is seldom found in any city's zoo.

But there's danger lurking...

I gently stroked her neck, as she lay calm,
and ran my fingertips along her back,
although surprised, she didn't seem alarmed
quickly relaxed, with both her shoulders slack.
But seconds later I increased my grip,
pinning her face down upon the bed,
panic set in, she tried her best to...

AMBUSH

There are times
when you walk down the hall to
yet another meeting, walk from your
car to the strip mall pharmacy that dispenses
your Viagra, or stand before a classroom of
dedicated students for another stimulating lecture
on urban ecosystems, that some sound, some color,
some geometric pattern triggers unwanted memories
about...

Ambush Hunter

Raining, periodic glimpses
of eyes glinting, stripes disclosing
a tiger prowling through the forest:
peering, listening, smelling,
drooling, stalking, circling, pausing.

Thunder, lightning revealing
the tiger slinking in the tall grass;
crouching, recoiling, springing;
exposing the big cat running,
prey seeing, panicking, fleeing.

Panoramic vision flashing,
tiger leaping, clawing, biting;
animal stumbling, tumbling,
asphyxiating, dying;
tiger tearing, licking,...

A brook cascades daintily extant
~ flowing gayly heart’s incited joy
Meandering, nestles on Peace
~ quivering restraints strain ‘n squirm 
Breaking-bank, careens downwards
~ extols faith’s grim heart-bomb
Undulating, veering waves extrapolate 
~ Yonder’s zooming blue-adieu
Sojourns, so-longs, traversing under veils
~ weathering wry extremes
Heart’s incessant journey keels love’s mainland
~ new...

Thunder doesn't lead to rain
In every single case.
At times, it just announces
A disturbance taking place.

I guess it's like the way a growl
Implies a close attack.
It might be just a warning
With the consequence held back.

The same applies to life, for we
Might heed a false alarm
And then...

Nothing you say right now can take away this pain. 
Absolutely anything and most prevalent everything is beyond your control. 

And right now you've lost it.
Whatever that were worth in the first place. 

You have soaked me in my own urine as you projectile vomit...

Sarkari hackers work as government employees
They get paid for it
This is what they do
They feed the Ego of their agency officers
They use their skills to control their subjects
They push them around
They bend them to their will
Some of them work as secret agents
They facilitate
They duplicate
They manipulate
They...

Mr. Cat knew it all; he had opinions upon opinions.
He caused a ruckus in every corner of his town.
Did not care; it was his way – devil’s advocate
With a devil’s cat tongue.

The other cats were sick of it.
They could not take bossy and arrogant.
Mr. Cat...

EVEN YOU BRUTUS

Many are the thoughts in hearts of men,
None to decipher it,
A smile can be for good and also for evil,
None to comprehend it,
Handshake can be for unnoticed challenge,
The mind has planned mischief and the hand is set to execute it.

You were my friend,
Swayed...
