Nuremburg's Johann Pachbell
organist& composer as well
Best known for his cannon in D I guess
& his influ upon Bach J S
Fling me into the stratosphere
I will wave when I arrive
Shoot me out of a cannon, Dear.
I promise to give you a big high five!
Don't shovel a clod upon my head
when I'm dead
or put me inside a cardboard cup
when you burn me up.
Get rid of me at last
with a cannon blast.
Mrs. Margaret 'Molly' Corbin:
A true Revolutionary War heroine.
When her husband in battle fell dead,
Though wounded, she fired his cannon instead.

Screams to their naked advancement,
fire—the truth to resound
Cannon to their darkest intention,
death—to all enemies found

Love
Be thy
Foster child of
This pain
Love
Be thy
Cannon shot
Heard around
This world
Love
Be thy
Flower dancing
In this sweet
Blue rain
These are
The canons of love
Tom went out one night looking for some fun
he brought with him a water-cannon gun,
wet T-shirts were all the rage
the ladies took center stage...
Tom's cellphone videos were a homerun!
The pirate’s ship
Was about to be roasted
When it came to close
To Florida’s coast
An attack had been planned
The reaper was close
It was one blast from a cannon
And they were toast
SHIVER ME TIMBERS!
Once a cut-throat and cannon ball dodger
Now a one legged salty old codger
But when ship enters docks he
Will look up an old doxy
And hoist up with a good Jolly Roger
a battleship sits
stubbornly in a bottle...

Dumpers
The gal with the **** cannon
Let’s one rip a right good fart
You can smell it from here
It smells of baked beans
And mushy peas plus cabbage
I wonder what it’s like
When she takes a dump?
Their words.
Like the softest cannon fire.
Shrapnel finding every mark.
In blood and brain and bone
and heart.
Leaving us to bleed
for more.
Till fire, now silenced
turns to dark.
3/30/14
Like being shot out of a cannon,
I charged out of bed,
Took one look around me,
My spirits, they bled,
Jumped back into bed,
Hoping to sleep,
Another twenty-four years,
Before out of bed I again leap.
Seven Young Men Jumping into the Ocean Blue- -
Cliff notes seven of us jumping out,
Over the pier cannon ball falls.

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2019©
Wherever We Went and Meant
Wherever ever we went were always hesitant,
Wondering what the people may have meant;
A cannon lose;
What is the use?
Bad habits a person has should try to prevent.
Jim Horn
A burst of red blossoms,
Shooting from
This cannon of morning
In this background of
Bright olive green leaves
Letting nature
Bring her sweet gold
Praying for
This glory
Asking the Lord,
Will you provide
Amen
Underestimation, unpredictability
My cannon hauls the weight of the world
In your direction
And your dodging capabilities are neglecting to serve you
Resources low
Resources lo

Resources…

One revolution
Of a star in the night sky;
Bamboo cannon bursts
(English)
Adrift in the cannon debris,
Her black flag grinned menacingly
With hull split in two,
Her captain and crew
Now sail on the floor of the sea.

Written for Tania Kitchin's A Pirate Themed Limerick Poetry Contest
Split-rail fences, stark and grey
Rim the Bull Run battlefield
Where Confederates that day
Forced the Union line to yield.
Cannon still command the hill
By the chiseled monument
Where some of those who came to kill
Sleep…dank earth their tent.
Form:
there
the love
masterly
weaves
the norm of cannon
inside to outside!
oh the bruise of heart
won't be cured
cause outsider love unsafe!
subterranean worlds
the royal palace of heart
where love lives with free will!
