A Defensive Action
How fortunate that I, correctly versed, knew hand-grenades are passive. At their worst, they maim and kill. But this is interspersed with usefulness: defenders have no thirst for carnage. Since the enemy had first used violence, they had to be dispersed. It fell to me. How often I’d rehearsed in nightmares what came next, how often nursed this killer in my hands. Like...

Of A Pen And A Book
Book by book, I see the hook, How about we have a look, Don't make me choke, I am with a bottle of Coke, I hear a creek, I am not a Greek, The shrubs are on a bleak, Glistened by the sleek, I soften my cheek, Keep me in check, For the high-tech, I smell a stench, Without a blench, I learned in French, I did not sench, Into a...

Winter’s warning
The lampposts stand, stoic and lonely, spirits overlooking the barren land. Their light’s turned cold, same as the air’s developing bite. It’s only natural; winter drags in a reality both harsh and unforgiving, unrelenting in its frigid austerity. How could anything not bare its teeth in response? The chill is seeping into my fingertips, turning my blood to ice. My northern attitude creeps back in, darkening...

Premium Member Defensive Schemes
Some things in life are guarded from the start and sealed They are so well secured, protected, and hard to steal. There's a great sense of safety and a very comfortable feel. The contents are highly treasured; nothing gets in or out. The best of thieves change their plans and take another route. Such may be the case...

Premium Member I'm An Acquired Taste
I sit on the fence Would like to be eccentric But don’t quite pull it off I still cater to way too many people Yet I’ll never become their puppet So beware to those who Try to pull their stunts I don’t handle well Being manipulated Though I’ll applaud it If well done I no longer have it in me to be That lovely little cheerful...

Premium Member Defensive Lineman
It takes a big, strong guy to play on defense. However, you need more than brawn. You need intelligence. You can’t let that offense run wild on game day. Make them use their three downs, and they have to punt away. As a defensive lineman, your sights are on the quarterback. Penetrate that backfield, and throw him for a...

On the Defensive
I made it through yet again I walked away, again unharmed One small battle, one small win In which this beast was charmed. Next time I might not get so blessed to be able to walk away This is becoming too much stress! But I made it, if just for today. There will come a time I am sure,...
