laser show in sky
battle of good and evil
in darkness of night
i want to lead a life that's resolute
intentional and meaningful
set goals identify priorities
reach for the moon
go all the way
make my dreams come true
AP: Honorable Mention 2025
I would be a miracle
Caught in my display.
Another face and another name
Caught in a colored way.
Stylistic stipulations.
There is soft iron somewhere.
The ghost of a laser beam
Gunning at my head.
While I remember a dance
I never learned.
Dodging and writhing.
Running and writing.
Laser Beam Focused
Whichever the dream it is fundamental you remain
laser beam focused and not be downright confused
mumbling to yourself oblivious of voracious locusts

Imagine if you noticed a deterioration in your sight
How would that suddenly and forever change your life
Happily, if it's just cataracts
A simple procedure corrects
Laser treatment is worth the inconvenience at any price
LASER
Laser beam you are so focussed
All I wish is to be like you
Single colour uni-directional
Every life's path I wish be so
Ray of coherent energy with uses plenty wish I
tune my life like you!

I always carry it with me and never leave home without it
It's something that you can't see but anyone could be hit
Someone who is just walking past or even driving by in their car
For this laser ray is really fast and can certainly travel that far
It works on the television, I simply just point at it and aim
And that everyone doesn't have one is just a flat out shame
I often use it when I'm in my car or as I'm just walking about
Saying oh Jesus show them who You are in ending all their doubt
I never even have to reload for God's Graces are so abundant
With every seed that is sowed yet another one is instantly sent
But my aim isn't all that great and sometimes I miss my target
Perhaps it is just His fate as only God knows where that went
I'm thinking of getting a semi-automatic with so many now in need
My friends say I must be a fanatic with all of my poems that they read
And now I show my long secret prayer ray... duck before you get shot
Too late, for in this prayer that I say I hope it's His Message that you got
In reference to poem One Little Prayer
night mare of two eyes
black cat with two laser guns
pointing to the rats
Red dot of light
Glides across the room
Must capture this intruder
She crouches down
Ready to attack
As the dot moves closer
Pouncing into action
She slides on the floor
But the dot eludes her again
Determination in her eyes
She attacks once more
With a fury of paw swipes
The dot disappears
She frantically glances around
But it is gone…
Defeated, she wanders to her food dish
Male Laser Lifting
At first I just couldn’t believe it
The spas out in sunny LA
Are offering “Male laser lifting”
For which some guys are willing to pay
The locals call it “tackle tightening”
Some call it just “ironing the ball”
It removes hair and discoloration
And wrinkles if I rightly recall
Some brag it improves their love life
Some claim that it feels good to boot
Some say you revert back to childhood
But what some say just don’t mean a hoot
No one who’s holding a laser
Is getting a shot at my jewels
I’m crazy but I’m not THAT crazy
Them’s that do simply are fools
Uncle Mike
shoots a laser gun
at rows of quick aliens - -
they invade with ease
for Gwendolen’s Video Game Extravaganza contest
Bedroom barriers
Radiate
Vintage idolatry
Pining protoplasms
Levitate
Wizardry
Nimble fusion peaks
Passion howls
Velvet vanity
In unison we touch
Multilateral we twine
A fluorescent collage
Lasers
Overcome with fear when I saw the aperture
It was a Philips a well known brand that is good
Right in front it said it is a laser_now insecure
Does that mean it cuts with that bright light on its hood
No it was fear of those chemicals that set mood
The Engineer plugs in the new data
and machines churn to life
the Breach screams into being
The stars are faint
beneath the city lights
the one I wish on is faintest of all
"Keep your favorite words of mine
tattooed on your heart
and think of me when everything around you
seems lost" I told her
our lips touched
she waved and moved toward the gateway
thirty seconds and that star will be hers
there is a pulse, slight shimmer
gone
light years away
I feel her wave
turning to my work
where
spinning nanomachines
bleed my imagination into plasma art
