Short Ambushed Poems

my rake ambushed me
delivered a bloody nose
I helped set my trap...

Ambushed by surprise 
not ready for judgement day 
but truth sets him free...

Daydreams
Written: by Tom Wright

Reality is ambushed, 
When spent years permeate our thoughts;
They linger until from our psyche is pushed,
By inattention or boycotts;

The wind gusts, emotions rising. Rushing and shopping, the store clerk advising.

Stagnant and alone, will I always be stuck? Craving movement,  fast as a duck!

The rush of the crowd, getting bumped and pushed. Anger flares, once again ambushed....

I may be an Emo
 Although I've never been in to self harm
 Other than eating and drinking a little too much on occasions

 When I was 18
 A bunch of my friends ambushed me
 Put makeup all over my face
 Planted the seed 
Likely
 So a late starter
 Emo at 53...

Ambushed U.S. police struck by gunfire
Brothers, sisters of the badge bloodied
Chicago lost by suicide souls of blue
Don't defund the good fighting the wars
Entered homes, alleys, bullets blazed, eternity
Families faithfully keep remembrance flames lit...

There once was a king so fat
That on the night he was ambushed,
The dagger could not be retracted
When it was plunged into his belly.
Even the handle followed the blade
As his folds of flesh rolled over it,
And then... the dirt came out.


(The Book of Judges)...

pick up light candle light pick up 
i need your light a moment
to let me see pass this darkness
loudly i hear the bushes screaming
fire, fire, fire
ambushed right in the middle
the flock marches and complain
alongside solemnly helping in the drain

skittles got ambushed by slap happy griddles
bending and bowing, flexible in their middles
happy tea dunkers hung upside down from the piddles
consternated, I played six of my craziest fiddles
teacher was astounded; her name is McLiddles
orchestra complete, we thanked the musical griddles....

Sending out her distress call, that early April morn; their sitting ducks
Ambushed, amid foreign waters; sold to be bought, these chain link treats ?
Roasting atop his open fire a platform, in practicality you see; perfect posture

waterside vigil
buffalo nears water hole
lions crouch low nearby

three-pronged ambuscade
buffalo calf culled from herd
swift pincer attack

quarried prey springs forth
stressed calf serpentines about
lead lion cuts angle

driven toward snare
flanks assaulted from both sides
vise tightened prey clasped...

Held as captives in a ship
Chains binding us together 
Hunger, but we could not starve
Tears but we could not cry.

We were warriors of our land 
Children of the soil
May the gods forbid that our ancestors would look us in shame.

And so together,
We ambushed our captors
And sank the ship

It was better to die 
Than be slaves in a foreign land.

tanned skin
dark hair
dark eyes
his Indian spirit skin deep
trapped in the city
out of his element
the suffocated call for freedom
a prisoner by any other name
quelled urge to roam
soul in limbo
ambushed
lost
drifting

Softly,silently as a child I grieve,for the touch of my beloved unrequited love, for the laughter of my children distant,for when nights are ambushed by the coldness of quiet rooms,when the estasy of every memory inquires of my loneliness,when the absence of touch chills me to the bone,when there is no pillow to rest my sorrows upon,when mornings arise and I find my arms around a stranger,I softly,silently grieve as if a child....

Stormy skies and deadly, squallish seas
taxingly torment sailors- engaged, entrapped
aboard ambushed wood boats bouncing
like lone, helpless toys neath the muted moon.
Whipped, whirled, commonly capsized-
oft fierce forces of nature negate
the valorous vim of human hearts.

Sea waves
surface guards
of inner wet lords. 

===================

Controversial storm
hard-tackling the captains ship
God is the referee.

===================

captains spyglass failed
overwhelmed by ambushed storm
crew helter skelter.
===================

Plain hearted sea
men sailed
pirates flags raised up.

===================
Autumn sea breeze
echoing melodies
a beach lullaby.

Greet all men
Of different cultures
Of different races of 
Different places as your

Next door Neighbors;
Especially, when they are
Wounded, ambushed and
Stripped bare.

Pour in the oil and the wine.
Restore to health 
Every breach creating
Amicable relations.
Clothe and feed your
Enemies and let not
Disdain come from

The author of lies and
Of confussion, but let the

Author of Peace give you
Love and compassion for all
Lands of color and culture....

If it heals,
Let me know;

Babe,

If it hurts,
Let it go;

Babe,

I have hurt enough,
You have grieved profoundly,
We have been damaged thoroughly,
Albeit, the turbulences
Refined our love,
A miracle to see it re-assembled
To enhanced finesse
That the skeptical can only dream of.

Babe,

This is the time,
To find each other,
The time to feel prosperity,
To embrace success,
The time feel the love
The evil one had ambushed
From us.

Babe!
