Best Ricochet Poems


Ricochet
The bird in the tree
Singing so beautifully!
Does not sing for me

And yet, as witness
There’s no doubt I benefit
And am doubly blessed

By the notes that play
In delightful ricochet
I deflect your way!...

Mere bits these bullets, so cold and gray
poison piercing's which the jaded heart conceals,
in the heady light of day good men reel
recalling these morbid missiles played.

Blood which hotly runs leads weaklings astray
bringing uncalled for blackness to congeal 
oft in coddled, crimson, rivers most surreal
on pathways...

An Unfortunate Ricochet
An Unfortunate Ricochet 

By Elton Camp

Armadillos can be quite the pest
In your yard, they’ll build a nest

The holes they make get big
As for delicious grubs they dig

Not all of them are disease free
A few can carry dreaded leprosy

A Georgia man gave one a whack
But the...

My old life seems monotonous to me now, but I allow it was fine then,
As cobalt skies allow warm butterscotch rays, to linger in the glen.

I worked through those golden days, but most evenings stayed at home;
While life had too little variance, with pizzazz and...

If you want to live, turn back
Sweep enough on chord....

How do I reach for something unreachable.
When guardian angels are tangled in harps of silent strings.
There are billions grasping in this same darkness.
In the blackest corner of the furthest stars.

What happened to all the dreams?
Of the ancients and the unborn beings.
Floating helpless in the endless...

Holes inside my body & I will be drilled....

It Won't Be Me Anymore
I was caught 
in a rumbling ricochet
I was stuck
In a stranger’s war
I was dust
In an old gold pocketwatch
But that won’t be me anymore

And I was tack
To an old, worn sailor
Watch me tumbling 
Far overboard
I could never be one 
to be favored
But that won’t be me...
