Best Sniper Poems

Years ago this story I am told
Of a bullet that came from a tree
No combat yet a peaceful day
One walking to gather water to shave

Helmet in hand to pick up the water
A bullet hit him in the head
Unable to yell with blood in his throat

I see their ghosts ...
dancing before me like madmen
moon-daubed scarecrows of the corn
hurling curses like daggers

I see their eyes ...
the gleams change to glaze
with every considerate nuzzle of the trigger
recoil punching my shoulder

I see their sorrow ...
in a last instant of confusion
the tear that will...

Specter of a Hero's Tortured 
Soul
Forfeiting faith to successors to 
sacrifice self for others...he 
believes not in himself but his 
progeny...
Eternal life and inflexible 
determination prevent waning 
love...his ceaseless adoration 
powerful to the point of self 
harm...
Unwillingness to ever relinquish 
the shards of his heart...or...

SARAJEVO - the sniper
He hides behind the dirty window pane
with eyes all cold and void of any care 
in blinding heat or through a drizzle rain
his thoughts are only what has brought him there

his mind's not thinking that's a special friend
nor is that girl in...

The Sniper 

The man who in his delusion shot and killed Kyle
 all American sniper who boasted of killing
167 Arabs. A film was made and USA applauded
and no doubt it will receive an Oscar.
A movie that totally lack empathy, what does one
expect of a Clint...

Picked  off, one by one,
mothers, sons, uncles, 

Aunts, some when fell, ****
their pants/the muscles

See, they start to dance.

Proud?
It was a war/kill them or 
they’d kill 

First; hand grenade or AK
Aimed at me

And now I wonder if some 
mother’s son

Saw me today, what he’d 
Say?

In...

With accurate placement
aim and precision
take your pick
an advanced weapon system
a marksman
staring down
keeps his eye 
on the target
judging distance
will take his shot

The ultimate assassin
for two lovers touch
with a bipod arrangement
is accurate as such
holding aim
sweetly releasing
from the chambers
firing emotions


The L115
will do the trick
the poms little boy
the lovers...

In the deep jungle
from under wet limbs and shrubs
sniper winks and aims

I'm am up on the cliff lying down prone
tossing some sticks throwing some stones
until i heard him say get ready
then i aim my rifle steady
He said wait!
as i lined up the dot 
he said now!!
as i fired the shot
as the bullet hit we seen an...

Saw “The Sniper.” Marveled at
The way it did reveal
The brutal truth the soldiers faced
And how it seemed so real.

The bombed-out buildings, guns and tanks,
The blood, the gore, the sweat – 
Each detail rendered perfectly, 
A work of genius – yet…

The only scene that got it...
