Best Ricochet Poems
RicochetThe 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!...

RicochetMere 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 RicochetAn 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...

RicochetHow 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...

It Won't Be Me AnymoreI 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...
