Bushwhacked Poems | Examples

Shaking in trembles, tremor within. 
A delicate pivot, shifts in separation.
Consolation comforts, the loss of win.
My first year of divorce, set in liberation. 

Bushwhacked, travelling back in time..
Reflections,... on dark night window.
Shredded heart, in melancholy chime.
Voice not so dulcet, in tears a wet pillow. 

I was once your only love, you ever knew.
nonverbal dreams in your eyes of allure.
Law settled rich, in favor of revenue.
In acrimony of hate, split ruins.. of poor.

Joining torn papers, pieces ripped off..
Crawling and dodging,  in slow boredom.
Healing cruel cracks of scorn and scoff,
hopes of Oasis in mirage of freedom.

Am I waiting for greetings and message?
Anniversary of an unhappy scar. 
Scrambling albums, photos in wreckage,
Yes, we celebrate free.... as prisoners of war.

There was a distant thunder sound 
That in days past would have worn him down
But he was past those earthly things 
As he rode on chasing evil  in his wanderings

And he would forever ride alone 
Knowing everything he loved was gone
For they say he was shot down dead
Bushwhacked with the danger gone unread

But he will seek the evil one
Who shot him dead the deed callously done
Will he find his rest from the lonesome ride desired
With his Laurel-Lee and their love together now expired

The wind that follows him now
Will not bend his back no how
And his cold dark eyes look on
With a smile or laughter forever gone.

      Little
   Abstract
   Whacked
      and
   Cracked.

          I

       Act.

  Interacting
      with
     Jam
   Packed

   Attacks.

       The
     Knack
         of
      being
Intellectually 
    Stacked.

  Retracting
      One

 Fraudulent

Bushwhacked
      and
  Carjacked.

  Transacting
 Transparency
         in

    Attracted
         by
        the

     Smack
         of
     Inexact
       Yak.

 Sidetracked
       and
 Highjacked
         by
          a
Prepackaged 
   Jackass!
