Euro Miss

Granit Xhaka
was aiming just under the bar
what went wrong is logistically moot
but no Gunner will ever be begging he shoot.

My Mind

Thoughts streak across my mind.
Like the gunner laying out flak.
It’s quite the disturbing 
light show.
No peace here.
It’s war.

Water and Runner

its a must
to have this stuff
in the dark or the park
some run for fun
they work up a sweat
this they must get
a drink in the tank
all part of the wink
and be gunner
WATER AND RUNNER

Premium Member Coyote and the Road Runner

Wile E. Coyote
would wear Acme “floatie”
wings so he could swoop from mountain bluffs,
but always crashed below to silent puffs.

The Road Runner,
like a tail gunner,
would down Wile E. into the deep
valley floor with his trademark “meep meep!”

Premium Member Paper Soldiers

      plaster walls full of holes
        explosives high and low

      paper soldiers imagine their roles
          machine-gunner to a shallow grave goes

       NATO leaders pour over war maps
          like children watching cartoons

       Upon commencement of real firing
          they raise a glass 
             ~ rattle their silver spoons

Premium Member La Garde Recule - La Haye Sante, June, 1815

Battalion column coup de grace;
It’s what was planned, but didn’t work that way.
We’ve bled all our embarrassments
At bayonet point and now must cede the day.
God damn the blasted cavalry;
They’ve left this muddy field a bloody pool.
All hell for the artillery;
I’d like to face one gunner in a duel.
It’s over, done and finished with.
The very best withdraw in disarray.
La Garde reculé.

Heart Robber

Cast away negative tots
They re ntn bt disturbing dots
I'm of great fret
Of what d pregnant u could deliver
I hold hatred for regret
A reason why i'm a believer
I believe u to b a thief
Ma sleeping hrt u stole
U re indeed a perfect gunner
Woke in ur hands bt i'm no runner
Fell in love with ma captor
Ironically spelled!!!!
Finding sweetness in misfortune
It turned around and brings fortune.

Deeply Wisdom

An oxcart can't move without a cattle.
A vehicle can't move without a driver.
An airplane can't fly without a pilot.
A gun can't shoot without a gunner.

Selfish chase more friends.
Brag invite minute friends.
Temper draw circle of solitariness.
Humble revamp more friends.

Friendliness is a medicine
Of killing all worries,Problems.
Not all same wisdom beget other wisdom,
But other wisdom from there.

Runaway Gun

Ready the gun, action to the rear!
the 105 howitzer should give them something to fear!
why hadn't sergeant felt the toss?
the men jumped out 
among each gunner
a shamed face shows
for each of them 
already knows
we have their position!
prep the munition!
he drops his hands
and stops his commands 
Sergeant sees his worst fear
the gun was lost
it was no where near
one single tear 
fell from his eye
without our gun 
our men will die
