Short Convoy Poems

Ice cream cornet sounds
Ottowa freedom lovers
Human sleeping warm...

They came to conquer
Clapping cicada convoys
Chanting freedom calls...

Navigation on course 

Destination absolute Power

Indifference supports the Mast

Master of this Vessel 

Commander of His Task Force 

Beckons the Capital Ship

Predatory Convoy
 
A Prefect Storm......

All Aboard..........

a sickle moon hangs in an ice blue sky
my breath hangs in steam clouds
quiet save for the faint clamour
of the freedom truckers convoy
on the not too distant highway
this too shall pass but I'm glad
we've abolished capital punishment...

Witches come out,
on the darkest of night,
flying on their broomsticks,
across the halfmoon sky.
Dipping, and weaving,
just having some fun,
and for endless hours,
their broomsticks run.
Higher, and higher,
over the tallest of trees,
a convoy of withches,
enjoying the breeze....

The hustle is deeper than you think 
Whatever goes up has the ability to sink
And don’t expect a helping hand 
From everyone you stay with 
When you start to shrink 
It’s okay to be surrounded by a convoy 
But be careful with who you link
Everyone wants to be successful 
They will take what’s yours if you blink...

Sky
azure,
cotton cloud
convoy sailing
to gleamed horizon
on waves of beguiled breeze.

Crimson sun sinks slow spent,
bird flock bids farewell,
flies fast nestward,
wings wrapping
twilight
tinge.

Cardinals past sun glazed window, scarlet joy,
Sapphire sparkling in cool waters, ships ahoy,
Crows on reddening skies, an evening convoy,
Bees on quest for gold honey, the real McCoy!

Jeweled hummingbird murmur, bloom to bloom,
And blur of fuchsia motions, one butterfly June,
Dragonflies in rubies, lost to the summer zoom,
As the sun arose to its zenith, at marigold noon....

From Moscow to Kiev
It is not too far.
Putin wants to be
The new Russian Czar.

The Russian ballet
In Moscow's Bolshoi
Became a death dance
In Putin's war convoy.

Sanctions are sweet bullets
Never punish bad behavior
Always hurt innocent people
Never believe any nation's saviour.

Tolstoy, Gorki and Dostoewsky
Great works they wrote.
Putin's future biography
An odious bloody note....

Whoa, ship ahoy, girls can play this game.
So we’re not a boy, we’ll win just the same.
Yo, like Hatfield/McCoy, choose sides, your name.
Go balloon convoy, water’s our claim to fame.

Though the weapon’s a toy, take careful aim;
Throw smart, redeploy or we'll lose in shame.
No fair playing coy or casting blame;
Slow down and enjoy the reason we came.

What's to win (or lose) in water balloon fights.

How could i this peace destroy
When christ has given me lasting joy?
Never would i be satan's errand boy 
Nor give my life to him as a toy.

Satan has many hands employ
The saints and saved to scare and annoy
Scorpions and serpents in millions he deploy
Just to execute his poisoned ploy.

Never would i be satan's envoy
Nor be scared of his teaming convoy
In the face of temptration i will never coy
And at last i will not be satan's cowboy...

Waking up and shaking up
Running up for the daily dose 
Drying up is every rose
Dying up is every rose
Drugs and thugs ruining lives 
Selling smiles and all knives 
It's not to give you joy 
It's mere a deathful toy 
Waiting out with their ploy 
Getting in trap every girl and boy 
People selling drugs in convoy 
Police Sirens all over the town 
The thugs free with no mask or gown
Killing humans without a frown
Police Sirens all over the town...

"In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous." - Aristotle


Blue
spring sky,
clouds sail on
tranquil convoy,
on its silk shadow
dew sparkled meadow sprays
lured luster on rose petals,
fine fragrance floats on breeze bracing 
chromatic canvas of my garden,
where butterfly weaves marvel for my heart.

WAS IT A DREAM
A day so bright and golden
A country whose sun is proven
Where other races come to refuge
And not be dumped as the refuse
I saw a day where we’ll have leaders
Not tugged oriented as rulers
A day I saw the canker-worm is no more
Where there was no gulf war
Where the nation of saint are adore
When we fought as it was in troy
Alone we are the glory without convoy
On Euphrates flows the twelfth aisle
I was pure and graced in the seventh tide
BUT ALL WAS A DREAM...

Two haiku's following 5 7 5 rule
One showing and one telling. Topic of your choosing.
NB calling these haiku is an example of poetic license - as with most poetry forms you can dive deeper into specific rules. That isn't the point with this contest - it's more about consideration of a poetic principle than precisely adhering to the form. 

A convoy of fire
Brainwashed seeking heavens gate
Until the flames purge

Hell keeps them in line
Figuratively speaking
Literally too...
