Best Ricocheted Poems

He threw the dart,
it missed the board,
it hit my foot instead.
The next dart flew.
it hit a wire
then ricocheted t'wards my head.

It's a dangerous thing,
the game of darts.
Not for the faint of heart.
"Cause once they're drunk
they miss the board
and try, your hair, to part.

I can add

Friendship Bound   

			One day the whole of me disappeared
			I was left alone in a shell of despair
			with but maimed memories, confined
			behind dull unbreachable walls,
			trapped by fate in this cold chair
			faraway within I sealed my smile
			fighting invisible mad immured
			in cruel moments with no escape
				but...

Flightless Birds Trapped In A Gilded Cage.
.
Fledgling innocents incarcerated in a gilded ornate cage
Budding pretty flowers 
Within the blossoming of youth
Of tender sensitive age
. 
Born into an imperial dynasty
By destiny and decree 
A view from a palace window
To the outside world
Was all they’d often see
Far...

Rounds of rockets shattered the peace, 
Bullets ricocheted from out of nowhere,
And nothing made sense in this alien world, 
Where chaos was friends with the air,

He was hit, fell and dragged, minus his feet, 
Through turmoil and trouble and strife,
And rushed to a medic, working...

Shiny in confines
ricocheted thoughts tumble on
and emerge as gems....

I watched as silence danced with shadows,
Playing the melody sung by my mind.
Its blanket covered the darkness—
broken only by a ray of light through a crack in the cave wall.

I groped through the dark toward the stone,
but the gale was too thick for my arms...

I am playing with my dollies
And my princess pram all pink
I'm nearly 5
A big girl now
No more nappies
Or plastic pants
I think

I outgrew the potty
When I was only three
My mum says it's because I am brave
Now I go to the toilet all by myself
But today my...

Walking alone in the middle of the night
Holding hands with the cold in the pale moon light

I hear more than my footsteps; look over my back
The shadows from the trees were on the attack

I walked a bit faster, my heart began to race
The mist from...

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the town
Not a creature was breathing, not one to be found.

Bloody hand prints swept the walls which once were white
Darkness overshadowed anything that had light

Little boys were decapitated and sprawled across the floor,
While little girls were skinned...

on merciless concrete
there's a body
don't clean up this blood

shot in the face
and run over as an inssurance
he'll never again put the blue ski mask on
don't clean up this blood

camouflaging a direct shot as ricocheted
did it even came to mind
was he still alive
when those tires ...

On one daring day, when the bruising sun was yet to set
And unfold the opportunities of an anticipated and hopeful day.
A bystander sprouted out from her shell into the dew
Hardly aware of the blindfolds of reality
She set off; ready to feed her eyes what it...

A bunch of paparazzi came into town, with new toys, and an added crew.
Yes, we were now to meet the technological ages, latest break through!
We were suddenly swarmed by drones, that they very aggressively flew!
Nowhere was safe from those crazy things, even Dragon’s butt! EWW!

Now...

lights ricocheted
body being heated

Over and over again, I am losing track.
Opportunities wasted with tears, sweat and blood,
chances blown into smithereens, a breached contract
like explosives ready and done but all went dud

A table once bountiful, every dish and ware,
aroma of extravagance, hard to resist,
array of choices from platter after...
