Short Combatants Poems

A rental car ought be comfy
  not crimped, cramped or bumpy

Oohs and Aahs ~ save them for pageants
  Roominess now mine; you keep the combatants...

Their fists were of furious intent,
But backs were too aged and bent.
It wasn't the seizing,
But rather the wheezing,
That both to the hospital sent....

The shadows lie
Deep in the valley
Crossed swords of battling timber
Contortionist combatants
Struggling to reach a sun
Bobbing and weaving
In their midst
Nature’s mother
Caring for all

Hearts pounding, alarms sounding 
  Threats abounding 

Tempers flaring, horns blaring
  Demons swearing

Pulses thrumming, fingers drumming
  Epiphany coming
   
Pressure soaring, oceans roaring 
  Combatants warring

Ho-Hum -- Another Day
  In Electronic Paradise...

An uneasy truce hovers in the air
    combatants tense, no soldier dares
  to catch a minute's sleep
    the price of that, far too steep  

  Minutes pass, they feel like hours
    searchlights flare o'er watchtowers
  The truce so far's held half a night
    soldiers curse to mask their fright......

Wars will end 
    when 
the combatants decide 
   to 
stop fighting 
   and attend poetry READINGS
The brave fighters of 
   this world 
are sometimes into verse(Patton was)
The power to win hearts 
  lies in the poets words 
  So all of you 
versifiers out there 
    in the darkness 
get together and 
    win the battle 
for the angry souls 
   of the world
who await your much needed nstructions...

Blood,
fires from my pen
like a well shot round

14 karat penetration, 
mighty wound of 
self aggression

Letters,
reducing armies 
into a special force

Time dying,
as mortared ink strikes 
the page

The raw edge of battle, 
...new combatants die, 
leaving their mark

Cursive warriors of the
spoken word,
martyred sentinels of a bigger truth,
—walking the line 

(Richmond Virginia: December, 2002)...

Eight men
One objective
Countouts holds the combat
In penalty for 2 minutes
Disqualification holds the
Combatants for 4 minutes
( they gotta get it in)
Mid way through four men
Will team for one score
That team to them divide
( they say it's the same song
Just the harmony is different)
Two teams no DQ
Two teams no countout
Team Challenge
Last two men
Winner takes all
Bankday Brawl
Trophy Series
Tally up the scores....

How would the world react,
too the verity of Al-'Alaq?

Would the unbelievers believe,
would the dissenters assent,
would combatants humble thyselves?

I've seen the bloodstone,
i've held it many times...
i've written about it...discreetly,
in a short series called,Laskrizon,
many have quested,many have questioned,
but,the one thing you cannot
........is doubt,
once you behold it's wonderful uniqueness...

The two combatants were 
Cast in a deceitful duel
Enmeshed in the charming world
Of wounded psyche’s 
Where thoughts 
Take arms and batter one another
I opened the heavy fire door
On my private inferno
My chest decorated 
Rows of gleaming medals
Much like a Russian General
Each medal signifying some special action
A cowardly special action
So I yield my chest, my body
To the executioners, I willingly do it,
Because that’s what soldiers do....

Christmas season's in December
  Thanksgiving weekend's in November
The Playoffs claim October, Halloween aside
  True-blue baseball fans all aboard for the ride

Combatants' senses sharp, nerve ends tingle
  Concessionaire's cash pockets jingle
Green diamond fields - hoary haunts of yesteryear
  Fading memories of heroes past - atmosphere

The tension mounts before each game
  Players ante up for fame
Emotions yo-yo - stomach's butterflies
  'Play ball!' the call ~ It's do or die...
