Short Recruit Poems

Running from the cops
To thirsty vampires... set up
For death for prison....

while brushing each boot
he (she) had been a new recruit
looked great in his (her) suit
accurately would shoot
of crop was the fruit

Take your pick of last line....

Recruit with an Attribute

Results of action was to recruit,
And enlist with a wild attribute;
Up now fired,
And inspired;
Did look plump in a  parachute.

Veterans Close and Near

We will never have any new found fear
Veterans are close and near and here;
They do recruit,
And bare fruit;
On children and grand children do cheer.

Realized I Was A Poetry Recruit

What I realized was I wanted to recruit,
Poem which might be small and minute;
Could tell,
Written well,
And about hope you have given a hoot.

Cannot Refute

Civilian clothes are worn by a recruit
Which soon will become a military suit
And are so proud to wear
While having short hair;
Best service in world cannot refute.

Cletus O'Toole was a hopeless recruit

   Cletus cared for the army not one hoot

      He was the sergeants bane

         And deemed their rules inane

            He was asked to leave and given the boot...

For President We Should Recruit Horn Limerick

What we at times so often will refute
If we by someone they do well-suit;
Agrees with what we have to say
Not an obstacle getting in the way;
For President should start to recruit.

Five hours straight
Through the night.
Fingers pitch black
In old moonlight.

Skim milky mountain waves,
Peak tree greetings.
Signal flare kite,
Dive right!

River willow window,
Coat rack recruit.
Red bedding pillow,
Plastic tomb salute....

Teachers feel heat.
Standardized tests
So Boring
Breaks

Teachers feel heat
Principal evaluation
So Scary
Run

Teachers feel heat
Out of Control student
So Exhausting
Recruit

Teachers get told
Their job is easy
Nothing to do all summer
Try it....

There was once a recruit named Hubie Hunt,

   Who hoped to fly but was told "no" so blunt,

      "Sorry, you ain't qualified"

         So Hubie was certified

            To tote a gun as a ground poundin' grunt!

Soldier
Several regiments laurel.
Other regiments regiment.
Line fighters scuffle.
Different regiments suspect.
Individual encounters intersect.
Equivalent resistances strike.
Regular troops recruit

EMBODY 

Recruit into the realm of spiritual liberty
Reawaken the knowledge there already 
Locked inside the triple helix
Hidden inside man’s genetics
The modified man

The name of the brand:
The accelerated humanity
On the pivotal brink of breakthrough or insanity...

Take the “Coward” from this place
Another boy goes to waste
Tie him to a well fixed post
I suppose his mother loved him most
Recruit a squad from his platoon  
Home for Christmas, boom, boom, boom
Not to wound, aim to kill
With his pals just until
 SHOT AT DAWN
The boy lays still...

Mystery upon your bed
westwind blowing
through your head
catch her question,
roll it'round
give the answers you have found
culminate her searching,
seeking
hurry now,her interest's
peaking
you have only one
endeavor
that will prove that you
are clever
click your heels
in bright salute
Yes,my dear!
a new
recruit!...

WAR

In peace you 
frown
Tussle is your 
work tool
pain,turbulence 
and anger are 
in thy armoury
T'reat holds an 
upper hand in 
thy army
Thy assign 
force as an 
army staff

War you paste 
armistice in the 
heart of men 
clearing their 
wages with 
blood;
and   editing 
fear from the 
recruit
arming the 
with 
sophisticated 
weapons....

Could Be Brought

When I went toot on my fine flute
Many things conjured up and did recruit
For me in my life to be enjoyed by
From day first born until I do die.

Time by does seem to pass so quickly
If what I did was done more amicably
Into world more peace could be brought
Instead of having to cry much and a lot.

while we paid tribute
she had been a new recruit
always gave a hoot

God is there in air
would be best when we should share
she did with much care

husband a president
from his sins had to repent
She gave her consent

buried in family plot
to heaven by God was brought
we love her a lot

God waved magic wand
so she to heaven has gone
with a bright new dawn...

The first sergeant saw that the new recruit
Definitely was not very astute
He told him to get the donkey d---
Cause the truck needed some oil slick
The buck private went laughing on mute  



My grandson told me that sometimes in the military the men won't understand or remember what they are told so this type of tactic is used to get their attention. LOL...

Trump More Trouble Recruit

Trump North Korean Officer did salute;
More trouble cause and he will recruit;
Corrupt our soil;
God's temper boil;
Minds of all his supporters pollute.

Feelings Begin and Start

Feelings in your body begin and start;
Flow through arteries owned by heart;
Value  has none,
Even after done,
And you are, brain will say how smart.

I have all summer long to clean up messes
That have not interested me in months.
I know what I should do.

I should recruit a friend
To come and 
go through
It with me.
And take
Whatever
She wants.

Then I could
Go to her house
And spend a day
And we could 
Clean together
There.

It simply
Is not fun
To clean your
Own mess,
But terribly
Interesting
To clean the
Mess of others....

Tendrils of absolute enthusiasm 
Ooze out of Chase, our new eager recruit.
Let me get your coffee, he says to McFhazm.
The hardest guy to impress, the first one to shoot.
You and your newfangled ideas down, we all held our breath.
Too bad for you now, warns our other intern, Young Seth.
We thought Chase was crazy, and would get rebuked away.
But instead, McFhazm made him a V.P. by the end of the day....

Sleepwalking in my birthday suit
My mother thought was rather cute
But as I aged my little flute
Was soon declared forbidden fruit

Sleepwalking on my chosen route
My teen physique left others mute
Some neighbours claimed they'd prosecute
But soon could see me more hirsute

Sleepwalking as an old galoot
I do not fear a bare salute
My grandson is a new recruit
And just like me, won't give a hoot!...

The gift I was given god gave it to me, so I don't even see a need for me to ever envy. I don't do what most do I do what I'm suppose to, and I'm opposed to letting foes put strong holds and get close to. See satan's just waiting to see who he can recruit, his will is to kill anything real from the root. But I refuse to be abused so I take another route, no matter where when or how my god will see my way out....

She was nine
swinging with prayers
but when nineteen 
found her
she had left
the playground 
far behind
only to return
with a new recruit 


at twenty nine
she forgot how to pray
as she lived in delusions
that drooled on the windowsill
framing a nightmare 


at thirty nine
she rediscovered 
the prayer of life
that was always within 


shes forty now
playing in the elements
and swinging poems off stars...
