Long Near miss Poems

Become A Common View; 
A Mutual Love...

Fall (24 Words)

Random vibrations
Branches stand still
Autumn’s frailty
Shaking in the wind

Warmer hues presented
As air outside chills
Branches emptying
Solemnly to the ground


You Are Not the Father (38 words)

Prince Charming thought he’d...

With you, life has given me an advantage
I've played with the switch and misused the voltage

and created more questions, difficult to answer
I've landed us in a place of unpleasant...

Yo, check the wall! New calendar's up!
Crisp corners, dates so clean, what's up?
"New Year, New Beginning!" the cards all scream,
Same old story, same old tired dream.
But out HERE, where the city grinds,
Where the real world...

Rumors spread like a flood seeping through the streets
That an adult black panther, kept as a pet, had escaped,
And was now prowling around the back alleys in town, according to the tweets.
Big cat far too...

The ants and the beetles were all celebrating
As I wed the spider that I had been dating
And soon sixteen legs would be consolidating
I could say eighteen but that’s exaggerating

But all of a sudden the ground...

On Christmas Eve the stratosphere was rent with strange communication,
As an Air Force pilot in his F-16 was on routine patrol protecting his nation!
He was tooling along when suddenly on his radar a weird object...

Driving home one afternoon from school,
It was raining and the air was nice and cool.

Less than a mile from home in my little S-10,
Traveling the same road again and again.

It was a freshly paved road...

What next? You may ask? 
My next task? 
I have done deep underground.......

All for the show!

A shopping test around tesco!...

The Fallen 

Ordered not asked to carry out the deed. 
Over the trench wall at hesitant speed. 

Scared and frightened but with country at heart 
A nations men surge into the dark.

A bullets near miss...

The painted disc, a vibrant blur,
A promise held in clicking sound.
Each wedge a hope, a soft demur,
Where chance and destiny are bound.

What unseen hand compels the turn?
What forces guide the halting click?
A lesson that we...

I was at my neighbourhood café
Come to hide and read quietly
As I so often love to do
In my favourite little corner
My latte was especially smooth
My story particularly captivating
How better to relax on a lazy afternoon

Santa's reindeer sped bringing toys to the world's small fry.

Ex-President Trump had a near miss recently. That can be traumatizing.

We know how it is, our old republic survived a near insurrection recently.

At least Trump's assailant was killed, he can rest easy.

Thanks to faux-jurisprudence, our...

Junealane  a Fictional Love Story-

As I swear into the future, my Junealane;
I shall always love you midst summer’s rain;
tick, tock, a moment, a kiss;
morphs like light, scarlet mist;

My dearest Junealane;
your smile, a passion through...

An unnoticed jostle in a crowded hallway
A sudden cool breeze ‘pon the nape of ones neck
Near miss in a crosswalk yesterday
Fenders crunching in a nearby wreck

A tap on one’s shoulder
And there’s no one there
Fleeting pain,...

For the life of me I can't understand, 
Why you can't fall in love.
I never bring roses on a first date, 
Always opting for a live dove.
You hit the linoleum so quick, 
Without even the...

as the bullet train thundered (with cordite stench) past
we were all safe, even though we were last
the displaced gasp of the near-miss shook us
as our carriage stood without engine, still – a sad still bus

all the survivors; all those still able to bear witness

all eager to tell their tales once more.

the embark of a new day

Rocks
Really big ones

They shattered glass
Really big glass

Windows witnessed madness
Apparently life closed calls

A near miss
Missed Missy

Extras and extra
I read all about it

Memory served like a dream
As if things didn’t happen

It would seem
But it was you and...

I'm looking for the dejavu
that should be caught to contemplate
the miss, near miss of circumstance
the hand that brushed us by, by chance

I'm looking for the accident
that blew up seconds after us
with cars colliding and the...
