The Hunt

The hunt for quails had begun.

Two old men sat on a bench on the main street.
A shot rang out of the stillness of the countryside. 
Below one old man, weak-sighted but the sound of hearing, 
raised his head towards the ridge.
"He missed! Surely the fool has missed!" he said.

Up the street, two youths approached, both carried 
a double-barrelled repeater. Both had empty bags.
The two young men stopped in front of them. 
"Oliver would have hit any bird even with half-blind eyes,"
the taller one said. "And you, Bert?  Come with us tomorrow?"
Laughing, they continued their way.

"Of course, rest assured we are indeed men!  
I lost count of the number of quails I caught!"
"We are men!  You know what, we’ll go hunting too."
Two heads, one white, one bald, nodded in unison.
“We’ll meet early at six tomorrow.”  They agreed. 

The town hall clock rang out every hour. 
Six o’clock struck. Nature slept on. 
Below, in an alley, two old men dreamt. Damn fools! 
They moaned in their sleep. Why can’t they shoot straight?

While Building Up Through A Supposed Tough Date

Red eyes might grow...
What pure mind don't show.
White eyes might cook,
What dirty mind can't hook.

Clean hands could build of fold...
What plan A can barely withhold,
Filthy hands might weigh of cheers,
What plan B does rarely adheres.

Crazy heart might run bloody metre... 
While calm vein don't shy as repeater.
Lovely heart could walk lonely garden,
While lousy vein can't for once be pardon.

A supposed tough date; 
Can't be of bargaining bait,
To beat daring procedure...
When love isn't for adventure.

Intrusive Thoughts

There’s a monster menagerie inside my mind
these beasts are not cute, cuddly, or kind
they enjoy torturing my thoughts at night and all day
I’ll introduce you and tell you how each one behaves

First we have the notorious, "Nadine- NooneLikesYou”,
Then “Walter- You’reWorthless” is in my mind too
Here is “Rita Repeater” who never lets me forget
“Lala” likes words like Limacine, Lugubrious illiterate.

Meet “Tutoo”, who says “too fat, too old, too dumb to think
and "Christopher Critic" who says this poem stinks
If you know my monsters, I really feel for you...
This makes them seem funny but we know that’s not true.

INFLUENCE OF ART

Art!
Repeater of dialogues 
In the past
With accurate information 
Telling the story of nations
The tickets of history 
Portraying the beauty of nature.

Art!!
The imagination 
Influencer 
Every painting 
Produce a muse 
Steadily giving  useful messages...

Art!!!
The soul and spirit 
Awakener 
Taking the mind
To realms of fantasy 
Creating ecstasy
Art is the heart healer.

They Say He Is a Loser

They Say He’s A Loser

They say he’s a loser and repeater
But he ignores them and stays in battle
He’s really a brave army and trooper
For him, to die for homeland is noble.

He keeps on going to war just to win
His filthy face and wounds are washed by rain
For him, to surrender is a great sin
Fate is cruel… but sweetest to endure pain.

They say, he will never be promoted
Bound in battlefield just doing duties
But to fight for freedom is rewarded
Priceless joy for him, then promotion's kiss.

Most of the time, losers are the champions
Once they never give up striking irons.

Genuine Connection Bob and Wheel

First or
can I please stick around? 
A piece of the encore 
mixed with the morning’s sound
I would like nothing more;

Second 
kisses are much sweeter, 
Guard down letting you in; 
No better repeater, 
caught in how you beckoned; 

Again 
hoping it’s different;
Hunted by distraction 
with two words I’m content:
genuine connection.

Fantastic Faultleness-

I crave fantastic faultleness 
Love
Loved  you 
Yet you treated me like a dog
You tie me up outside in your heart's yard
Ever so  repeater this again and again
 I'm not your man
You're not my woman
You say you're not even a friend
Not even acquaintance
 I was offended
This intended 
Unattended 
I was hurt embedded 
In and out of  bewilderment
Lo, i've fallen to her and fantastic faultleness

Leader Who Is a Meter Reader

trump looks like a leader
had become meter reader
stutters and repeater

wonder what is next
trump took things out of context                                                                                                                                                                                          he is now perplexed

trump again got caught
having been cranky robot
really should be shot

Great Escape

German resistance well-noted within prison encampment
Rambunctious brood neath an underground network
Erasing traces under so-called watchful eyes
Allied soldiers, hundreds to gain freedom
Together with a few arduous laborers

Escapee repeater joins the group
Smart-aleck, a wisenheimer
Cyclist, a real daredevil
Against all the odds
Prisoners escaped
Except for a few

Let Us Build a Tower

(Lines on a visit to a repeater station)


See it
stretching to the sky
contained in a cloud
Jacob's ladder grows from the ground.
What angels in overalls
and rubber extremities
periodically  climb on missions
to the great lightmaker above?
Spreadeagled, its feet
are rooted in earth.
The framework solid,
the centre hollow
it relies on its connection
to other such great ladders.
Swaying in the atmosphere
the cable forms a thread of cobweb
over the earth.
The pulse of daily life
flows through the lines
and the servants tend the garden
in the light that shines from Babel's border.

Assigned Seats

I feel through senses
You feel common sense 
I avoid the fences
You embrace the suspense

It wasn’t a choice
To follow the leader
I too, want a voice
Not just a repeater

But we have assigned seats
In this overpopulated class
I can look, but not touch
I’ll always be last

Never Settle

"Never Settle"
by:  Eric L. Boddie

Never settle for disrespect
Because that's exactly what you will get
Never settle for inferiority
Because, of all, that's the worst sorority
Never settle for the player's game
Because, at most, all you could ever be is lame
Never settle for the lies
Because they will cause your heart so many cries
Never settle for a cheater
Because that word means repeater
Never settle for casual, unprotected sex
Because it usually leads to many regrets
Never settle for any abuse
Because, for that, there just IS no excuse
Never settle for second rate
Because, with that, there can be no debate
Never ever settle for less
Because if you do, you can never be your best

Repeater Phone

its end shall be soon
the dandy fan thinks the moon
just a merely stone

old smart ass baboon
hard worker older mason 
rings like elder phone

Peter and Rita

Peter met Rita
He was so pleased to meet her
They went on a date, so Peter could treat her
On the date, Peter challenged Rita to a game of cards 
(He thought he could beat her)
In the game, Rita was beating Peter
Peter called Rita a cheater
He said “Rita, you need to play neater”
You are a big cheater!
“Rita, you are a big, big, big cheater” shouted Peter
(Peter was a repeater)
The following week, Peter met up again with Rita
Peter told Rita, he was sorry to call her a cheater
He asked if they could meet up again
(Him being a repeater!)
They later enjoyed a night out
With a litre of Margarita
